The humourless idiot in the dressing room needs to grow up and get a life, it's people with that attitude that is ruining this country.

The most relevant part of the article is this:-
Townsend, a promising 22-year-old winger for Tottenham Hotspur, told the FA he was not offended by the joke when officials spoke to him about the incident.
He tweeted today: 'I don't know what all this fuss is about. No offence was meant and none was taken! It's not even newsworthy!'
The whole incident wouldn't even be in the gutter press if England had lost, the tabloids would have something else to moan about then

Too true Keith.
Feels like we're all living in a damned pc strait jacket these days.

There are conflicting reports to what he actually said which seems to suggest this story has been contorted somewhat. Typical media, always have to rock the boat when the England team is concerned.

Ridiculous. I blame the idiot that leaked this and the press for trying to make an issue out of it.

... surely the only *"race" issue that realistically concerns England Manager, Roy Hodgson, is the *one involving his team's bid for next year's World Cup!
