Diego Costa has been ruled out of Spain's games against Macedonia & England due to injury. He's been replaced by Aspas, who's brilliant at corners apparently...
Jock ****s can go **** themselves.. my mates brother was murdered up there for wearing an England top.
yeah risk injury when on international duty, we also would have to face losing him to a bigger club like Arsenal.. thought we were meant to be flying under the radar anyhow.
Don't know whether anyone else watched the England U21 v Italy U21, really good game for a friendly, England scored with the last kick of the game to win it 3-2. Issac Hayden by the way was excellent, pity we didn't keep him.
Not to prove a point, but a guy comes into my shop tonight and says "you'll be shutting the ****ing shop early tomorrow night, before Scotland ****ing stuff you lot". The inference being that the shop my get attacked. I aid do what you want mate, I'll not be working, it's not my shop and I don't support England.
England v Scotland: Fifa says Poppy ban reports a 'distortion of facts' please log in to view this image Fifa says it has not banned the display of poppies by England and Scotland footballers, insisting any such claim is a "distortion of the facts". Both England and Scotland asked to wear black armbands bearing a poppy during their World Cup qualifier at Wembley on Friday, which is Armistice Day. Rules forbid "political" statements on shirts and Fifa says it does not have the power to grant such requests. Northern Ireland and Wales will wear plain armbands in their fixtures. Fifa says it has reminded the four football associations of the rules - though the FA of Wales said Fifa "turned down a request for the Wales national team to wear poppies on their shirts or on armbands". England Under-21s wore poppies on black armbands during their win over Italy on Thursday night. Football's rules are laid out by the International Football Association Board - which is made up of the four British FAs and Fifa. Any breach of the rules is dealt with by Fifa's disciplinary committee - which Fifa says is an independent body. It added it could not pre-judge what symbols would constitute a breach of rules. Fifa said that when contacted by the four FAs about wearing poppy symbols, it "reminded them about law four" - which states players are not allowed to wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images". The sport's governing says it "reiterated" to the FAs that "only the independent disciplinary committee can decide" if the rules have been broken and what sanction should apply. "The perception that Fifa 'banned' anything is a distortion of the facts," it added. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37941626
