Rumours are sweeping the football world that the Arsenal defender Sol Campbell is about to be "outed" by a Sunday newspaper, hence his mysterious disappearance on wednesday evening (and with Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas, ooh there must be a lot of footie tension in that household). I can't understand how we have got ourselves into a situation where our media is so powerful that it has the power to destroy people's lives, seemingly at will. The rumours about Sol have been around for years - his brother served a prison sentence as a result of a fight he got in to disprove the allegation - so why have the newspapers chosen now to go public? And more importantly why do we care?
