I don't like spitting and I agree it's down to the parents.

But sometimes you wonder what chance we stand - pretty much every player on the pitch during yesterday's match was seen spitting. My daughter asked me why they did it? I did the whole explanation thing about them having too much saliva in their mouths because they were running around a lot and it's not nice but it seems to be necessary for footballers - but all the time I was thinking 'you could swallow it'.

You don't see tennis players gobbing on the courts, or golfers, or runners, or anyone else. But our most over paid, easily recognised sportsmen do it all the time - some example they're setting.
