    Well the alleged statement was made in English, a language the FA authorities aren't nearly as knowledgeable about as they are about Spanish after all.

    I see the press have described John Terry as being "braced" for the FA's decision. I wonder how one does that exactly?

    So now we can "all move on". The wheels of justice have turned and John Terry gets a 4-game suspension.

    So in addition to the "British premium" there is apparently a "British racism discount".

    Case closed. Another triumph for justice.

    Suarez: 8 games, £40,000
    Terry: 4 games, £220,000

    I'm not defending or supporting anything here, but I just can't see a connection in the size/amount of the penalties here between the two cases.

    Suarez gets twice the games' ban and 5.5 times less of a cash fine?

    Do players lose their weekly wages while suspended?

    I don't think the moral pillar that is John "the great" Terry should've been suspended. He is an honest man who was vilified and victimized by that "black c*nt" Anton. We all know that we can't trust what we see on the tele or camera, (ask Mitt Romney he was framed by them Democratic basterds).

    He should be given 4 extra games wages for "abusing" a Ferdinand brother instead of a 4 game ban. And to compare it with the diving little annoying git from the nether regions of the globe, South America, is unconscionable.

    We need to start a campaign to undo this cruel and unusual 4 game ban for England's talisman. The leader should be the most experience manager, Woy Hodgson. We all know that he has over 30 years of experience and that should count for something.

    Here'a a bit of news from America that may not have made the English papers:

    In a show of solidarity with England's Brave John Terry, an American charitable organization has renamed itself. "As a reaction to the unconscionable slander against John Terry by the Football Association we are proud to announce the renaming of the United Negro College Fund. Henceforth we will be known as the United F**king Black C**t College Fund", said president Augustus P. Blowhard in a statement released today.
