    Anton Ferdinand Sent A Bullet In The Post

    Premier League footballer Anton Ferdinand has been sent a bullet in the post ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup match against Chelsea. 

    The package was received amid the ongoing race row between the QPR defender and Chelsea captain John Terry.

    "We are investigating an allegation of malicious communication received today at QPR FC," said the Metropolitan Police in a statement.

    Police would not confirm what was in the letter, which arrived at QPR's training ground.

    Chelsea captain John Terry is accused of racially abusing the QPR defender when the two clubs last met in October.

    He will appear at a court hearing on Wednesday on a racially aggravated public order offence. He denies all allegations. 

    The race row intensified in recent months as Ferdinand was sent a threatening letter in November , leading him to ramp up security at his home.

    But a number of Chelsea players have come out in defence of Terry, as Ashley Cole became the latest in a number of high profile Blues players and managers to step forward volunteering character evidence for their captain.

    And Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has urged the two players to shake hands, saying that the game is "based on good values more than anything else".

      I think the way our multi cultural country is heading and the way the goverment and police and our prosecutors operate it is going to turn round before long and bite them hard.

      Racism is alive and well- just beneath the surface- and all the strenuous efforts of the Government and Authorities have failed utterly. Just sent it underground, which is much more dangerous.

      I'm getting a bit sick and tired of all this stupid stuff, you cant say this and you cant say that, its only words, no body died, words cant kill ya ffs toughen up a bit - when I think of the 60's and 70's and what we used to say and do I just think its pathetic. Just give as good as you get thats what we used to do, if some called you names you'd call them names back thats how it was, not run to the police and say ' he called me..... whatever! Grow up! Its all this human rights stuff thats caused this! If people dont like this country there's nothing stopping them from going home.

      The headline is confusing. It reads "Anton Ferdinand sent a bullet in the post." Did Anton send the bullet or did sombody send the bullet to Anton? These are the type of headlines we get from quack or half-baked reporters who profess to be journalists.

      Football is starting to become a joke sport. Getting hyped because 2 blokes have a row big fookin deal. When i played football with blacks and watched how they abused and even punched this young chinese lad i realised they are every bit as nasty. And now he wont come back why did they not like chinese i dont know. I have had black neighbours move because they hate somalis i had a somali woman telling me she detest her own. The list is endless but the fa have opened a can of worms and i expect their rules to apply to all races.

      Let's just get this stupid tie as well as the equally stupid tie between Man u and Liverpool out of the way. I wonder if the whole thing was not cooked up by SKY and ITV as it all seems so convenient. I bet they tried to televise the QPR game and were told not by the police. As it is there is a real risk of bad crowd violence at both ties. That will no doubt please Platini and Blatter.
