Anyone else getting totally pissed off that England fans are *still* in the spotlight? You'd have thought with teams like Turkey still in the playoffs they might actually think about warning them, but no. Apparently England fans are still European football's biggest enemy.

Fresh warning for England fans
There was a heavy police presence for lthe England game in Istanbul
The FA has warned that England could still be banned from Euro 2004 if there is crowd trouble ahead of the event.
The FA's director of communications Paul Barber said that fans must continue to be on their best behaviour during the upcoming friendly matches.
"Uefa has made it clear to us that all of the conditions which applied to the last few matches still apply," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
"We have got to get through the games in order to get to Portugal with our fans and our reputation intact."
Barber was at the British Embassy in Lisbon on Thursday as the FA took part in the first of a series of meetings in an attempt to stop hooligans marring the tournament.
FA officials were joined by representatives from the National Criminal Intelligence Service, the Home Office, the Foreign Office, the British Council and the British police.
But Barber remains hopeful that there will be no problems between now and next summer.
"We do not want to sound complacent but we have made a lot of progress over the past six months on this issue and the behaviour of our fans has been superb both home and away," he admitted.
"These friendlies are a good chance for us to prove to the rest of the world we have great fans with the majority of fans decent people who just want to watch football.
"We hope we have the procedures and disciplines in place to keep the hooligans away because we don't want them following the team and we don't want them in Portugal," said Barber.
