It seems I (and a few others) speak sense:
Rio Ferdinand, the new England captain, was still agonising on Monday night over whether he should withdraw his appeal against a four-match ban as a gesture of goodwill to the Football Association. The ban was increased by one match after Ferdinand's initial appeal and, despite a sense of injustice at Manchester United, there is an expectation that the subsequent appeal will be withdrawn. Ferdinand will be aware of the embarrassment that could be caused by a hearing on Friday, just a week after he was chosen by Fabio Capello to lead England at the World Cup. It is understood that the FA is also keen for him to withdraw the appeal, although the ultimate decision will rest with United.
