Carlton Cole to contest twitter jokes on Ghana fans

Published on: 13 April 2011

Carlton Cole is to contest his FA charge for improper conduct following his Twitter 'race' jokes.

The West Ham striker has until 6pm tonight to respond to the charge for comments during England's friendly against Ghana that some people complained were racist.

He tweeted: 'Immigration has surrounded the Wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahaha.'

Sources close to Cole last night claimed the centre forward would respond before this evening's deadline.

West Ham officials have reminded Hammers players of their responsibilities when they use Twitter and other social networking websites.

West Ham co-owner David Gold is planning to watch their home game against Aston Villa on Saturday, his first outing to Upton Park since he recovered from cholangitis and septicaemia.
