Henry and Van Persie in the same team a problem? I don`t think so, Henry started out as a left winger. He would be much more effective than Arshevin at the moment.

Class is permanent.

He might not be as fit as his prime but he'll also give the club and players a boost.

Top beard too.

Yes look at Ronaldo :D

Yes not as fit, will be found out in the PL. Give the players a boost, fine as they will be playing with 10.5 players so will need it :D

The real Ronaldo?

He's got an illness. Possibly could have been the best player of all time if not for that.
The guy was a force of nature.

More explosive than Messi.

And we got rid of the irritants! :D

BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis at Loftus Road: "Very unsavoury chanting aimed at John Terry by QPR fans. One of them is orchestrating the chanting after climbing up onto a television camera gantry. Stewards trying to get him down."

Wonder how many arrests were made, although it appears some abuse is more acceptable than others?

And the talk was of Ferdinand not wanting to shake hands - hah!

Were any arrests made for the "Anton Ferdinand, you know what you are" mass chants by Chelsea fans?

That didn't get any media coverage did it? Strange.

That got massive coverage and how do you interpret that? I think today was restricted to something about lying (who knows)?

I think you're missing the point, which is what is or isn't deemed acceptable and who sets and enforces the parameters? I know what the law says, but it seems to me its pretty picky in where it chooses to draw the line.

The Media enforce it, the FA fall into line.

The laws are if you're an English international the media will try and brush it under the carpet, if you're a filthy foreigner they'll have it on the back pages for 3 weeks until we show how multicultural we are.

I'll end by saying I meant the law of the land, not the FA's.
