Henry's wristbands!

mmm, so if the white players were the best? that means they are racists?
thats dumb.
people care too much about racism. if i pick my ten fav players and i dont name one black guy, i'll bet some will say im racist

well, it may be silly at first glance, but i think (not sure tho), the english guys will say that there are black players deserving of a spot on that DVD set. then thats another story.

yeah im sure that there are black guys deserving a spot on it. but people saying something like "hey i see no black guys in there. the creators of this dvd must be racist" would be really silly

its not maybe racist, its just ironic, that this happened to the English.

PC gone mad. There is nothing racist about the DVD and race should never be an issue when selecting 20 players for a DVD anyway. Out of the 48 black players that have played for England over the last few decades I can only think of one or two players that might of atleast made the bench of the side that won the World Cup.

With the exception of Rio Ferdinand and Sol Campbell, in my opinion there has never really been 'world class' black England players before them who have performed to such world class standards on a consistent basis when playing for England. People may say 'but what about John Barnes?' - Barnes may of won 79 caps but he was inconsistent when playing for England so therefore doesn't deserve to be there anyway.

Sorry for going off-topic but whichever muppet decided to put Seaman, Gerrard and Rooney on the DVD deserves a good slap because they shouldn't be there. It is an insult that Seaman got the nod over Banks. Rooney is only 19 and what has Gerrard ever done in an England shirt to even be considered one of the 'best' of the last 40 years? what a load of crap. Active players should not even be considered in my opinion.

If the FA decide to bring out another DVD in ten or twenty years time then there is no doubt that Ferdinand, Campbell and maybe even Ashley Cole would be on it as by that time they would've all been hailed as 'greats'.

After seeing Seaman, Gerrard and Rooney on the list you could tell it was always going to be a crap DVD anyway.

SWP. The guy is going to be a superstar once Sven takes off his Beckham glasses and makes Ferdinand captain. 'Nuff said.

Andy Cole only scored once in 13 appearances for England.

Yeah I know. For every other team too since he left United. Still incredulous about the season him and Sheringham scored goal after goal when playing together yet didn't talk to one another.

Man, the guy who came up with that racism armbands idea must be the most original guy in the whole wide world. This is getting too much, if people are against racism (I'm one) they shouldn't need to wear some stupid armbands, and if they dig the armbands idea they shouldn't need an excuse like that to wear one.

Screw you Ben

does anyone know what these bands are for?

i know

black and white= racism
blue= beat bullying
yellow= livestrong

but during yesterdays FA cup i saw white and red or orange

and white

Anti racism wristbands out later today. 01/02/05!

is it only in the UK?

I understand, that is the date of release for the U.K.
I'm pretty sure that the wristbands will be available sometime during this week throughout Europe!

Got mine but i noticed in a pic of henry, his 'stand up speak up writing' is in white on the black band? i didnt see what colour it is on the white but on the ones which went on sale to the public the writing on the black band is black, and on the white band it's white. anyone know why this is? looks better how his one is.

i'm hoping to get one off ebay since they don't sell them in the US, hopefully i won't have to pay too much with shipping.

I am really serious about this, I was on ebay, and I can't find any under $20 with shipping. I was wondering if anyone in the UK or europe could buy me one and send it to me, I would pay for it all P&P and maybe add a little more if you can get it to me cheap enough.
