I think you can do that with racism as well and Uefa did something great in Prague.". Alan Pardew may well be forced to shuffle his pack for tonight's Carling Cup tie at Bolton Wanderers - but the West Ham manager insists, "we are going for the win." Many top-flight managers have viewed the competition as an opportunity to blood youngsters and give their fringe players a chance to impress, sometimes at a cost to the chance of victory. Pardew, though, knows results breed confidence and is determined to maintain the Hammers' promising opening to the new season with a decent cup run."I want this club to win trophies," Pardew declared "We are going to go there to try to win the game. Taking on Bolton at [their] home is a tricky match, but we will go into in it in good spirits."With several first-team players - including defenders Anton Ferdinand and Paul Konchesky, as well as midfielder Matthew Etherington - reporting fitness concerns following the victory over Middlesbrough on Sunday, Pardew admits changes could be forced upon him at the Reebok Stadium tonight."We have got some fresh players, and I will certainly look to introduce a couple because we have a few knocks," said the Hammers managerPardew's blend of youth and experience appears to be paying dividends so far, with West Ham now back in the top 10 of the Premiership following Sunday's victory, which was helped in part by a controversial decision from assistant referee Ralph Bone to award them a second goal.However, a run of just two defeats from their opening nine league games shows that the east London side - promoted last season via the play-offs - are certainly difficult to beat.One of those defeats, though, came at home to Bolton at the end of August.The assistant manager, Peter Grant, maintains that the Hammers have learnt a lot from that encounter. As a fan you might say the club's going to get a big fine but it's not affecting you because the club can deal with it."But if you say to the guy, 'you cannot go to the stadium any more,' he will think twice about it next time."And Henry believes that if racism inside football stadiums in England flared up it is a measure that could be applied here He said: "Look in Italy. Some fans might miss out on the game who are not racist but that's the way it is. That is one way to go forward.Regarding fines he added: "You have to go straight to the problem. That was a great example: the game can still be played even if it is tough on the people who cannot make it to the stadium.
The game has been played and the points were there and at the end of the day nothing did affect the game. But I'm sure the fans who stayed at home were gutted because they did not see their team play."When we players don't behave on the pitch we get a red card But when other people are misbehaving they are still there That can be a way forward. It is sad but sometimes you have to do that, he said."Uefa did something great in Prague. That's why I said that when England didn't come off the pitch against Spain I thought it was a good thing.
You shouldn't let the game down because of ignorant people."A year ago, the Spain coach, Luis Aragones, made a racist remark about Henry to his Arsenal team-mate Jose Antonio Reyes. Then in November, England's black players, including Henry's team-mate Ashley Cole, suffered racial abuse during the friendly against Spain in Madrid.Aragones was fined by his own football association but Henry does not feel that is the best way to punish racism in the game.Henry became Arsenal's top goalscorer when playing Sparta Prague last week in the Champions' League but the stadium was not full because of a partial ban by Uefa after previous racist abuse by Sparta fans.And Henry feels that is the way to tackle a problem he admits he has faced before and which has made him consider retaliating 1000 times."I was in Prague last week and wondered why the stadium was so empty and then someone explained it was because Sparta fans had been racist the week before against Ajax I thought it was tremendous That's what you should do. The Football Association upheld his appeal and rescinded the yellow card, which was transferred to Parker's team-mate Stephen Carr Carr will now serve a one-game ban with immediate effect.. Thierry Henry last night admitted that racism in Spain would not put him off a move abroad should he decide to leave Arsenal next summer.
