Villa stick to 'Kick It Out' plan
Aston Villa,

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert insists his players will wear "Kick It Out" shirts in support of the anti-racism campaign.
Lambert claimed reports that the black players at Villa would not back the campaign because of the lack of action by the governing bodies against racism were inaccurate.
Reading striker Jason Roberts has already confirmed he will not don the shirt.
But when asked if his players would wear Kick It Out shirts, Lambert said: "Absolutely, yes. I don't see any issue with that at all. The lads will go and do it.
"Contrary to some reports saying they weren't going to do it, that is totally misinformed and I'm not happy with that.
"But the lads won't have a problem with it. Is that a definite? As far as I'm concerned, the lads will back it, and quite rightly so."
