Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith sold her Arsenal shares, and condemned the board as a bunch of male chauvinists.

David Haye cheapened himself – if that’s possible in boxing – by wearing a blue away shirt into the ring in Hamburg last night. Fabio Capello’s four-second video of support was cringeworthy.
Mumsnet knows best. The influential parenting website is up in arms about the cost of football kits. They deserve support. Don’t buy it until prices come down.
