Showbiz, baby!
It’s a good thing Arsenal are doing so well on the pitch, otherwise they wouldn’t get away with stuff like this. Oh, wait…
People who leave gigs early are the worst!
The same John Barnes who threw a victim of racism, Patrice Evra, under a bus and sided with the guilty party.
@Robb Stark:
“I can tell you they won’t be making a big issue over either of the Suarez or John Terry situations in other countries, the reputation of English football around the world is not going to be damaged at all.”
“We’re getting carried away with a bunch of incidents here that, in the bigger picture, don’t mean much. Football clubs have to react to it because of what we do in the media.”
That’s what he said and between those two he said the handshake incident was no big deal. He’s an idiot and hypocrite so he fits right in, in the current climate.

Between that he said that the refusing to shake the victim’s hand incident was no big deal. His hypocrisy is par for the course now unfortunately.
@Robb Stark: the anti Liverpool bias is strong with this one. The knot must be tightening in the stomach as they inch their way towards the title. Don’t worry be happy :)
@Freddie Rincon: Good man yourself.
Lovely tweet from him yesterday!
@Cortiss: very kinky
He was born in Jamaica. Should never have played for england. And talks crap to stay revelent.
@Cionneach MacEoin: What vile nonsense. Cascarino played for Ireland, so did Aldridge, so did Matty Holland. And as for Ray Houghton, please give it a rest. PS Phil Lynott was born in Birmingham and Padraic Pearse in London. Buy a map, and grow a brain.
@Annie Quigley: Pearse was born in Dublin.
