Last weekend it was handshakes, now it is chanting. The sad thing about English football at the moment is that too often football is taking a back seat.
Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, met with his Premier League counterpart, Richard Scudamore, this week to discuss pre-match handshakes. Not racism, diving, violent challenges, UEFA's financial fair play system or that two-thirds of the elite league now comprises overseas players. Nothing as trivial as that. Handshakes.
Taylor even said Handshake-gate was becoming like "some mafia feud."
