Ipswich-Boro called off after 40 minutes, due to the pitch. That's a fudging joke, all the Boro fans should have their travel expenses refunded by the FA or the Football League

Is it just me or are Arsenal looking a bit lacklustre today? Not playing at their usual high tempo, though Sunderland are obviously making it difficult for them. They've got a busy schedule starting this week, but of course those things only affect Spurs with our tiny squad.

Also, Jamie Redknapp after the Utd match made himself look incedibly silly.

"Someone should have realised it would be trouble and just not let the handshake go ahead at all. If you met a stranger down the street would you shake their hand? No, so why would you on a football pitch?!"

What an idiot. The handshake is in there all about the idea of fair play and sportsmanship. A player being an ignorant thug is no good reason to cancel a tradition like that.

What tradition? It's been in place about a decade. And it is politically correct false gonads, being forced to shake hands with people you either don't care about or detest. If they want to promote fair play fudge the handshake, it achieves and proves nothing. They'd be better off going down the Rugby route, giving the ref's mics and booking or sending off any player being verbally abusive to anyone. If they do that the whole culture will be removed overnight and the kids in the playground won't grow up copying what they see on TV.

I was of the impression it had been in place since the PL inception. A good 20 years, several thousand matchdays, constitutes something of a tradition IMO.

And while it probably is meaningless gonads two things stand out to me.
1) It does show a good intention. Football is supposed to set an example isnt it?
2) Ill be damned if I would advocate changing anything like that simply because some yobbish player(s) cannot be man enough to stick to the bloody rules.

That aside I heartily agree about the Rugby route. Absolutely no reason why these players and their behaviour shouldnt be exposed, and why that wouldnt do a massive amount about rectifying it...
