Kasabian have said that they approve of England manager Fabio Capello's decision to ban WAGs from travelling to the World Cup in South Africa.

Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney received a lot of press attention at England's World Cup bid in Germany in 2006, but the new Italian boss has insisted that they keep away from the 2010 tournament.

Speaking about the decision, frontman Tom Meighan said: "It's absolutely f*****g right to ban them. Who needs them going shopping and s**t? They are bad news for the game. They have nothing to do with it whatsoever. Nothing."

Bassist Chris Edwards added: "I love Capello's no-nonsense attitude. He's gone in there, said his thing and sorted it all out."

The Leicester band said they also approve of The Enemy's plans to write a World Cup song to support the England team.

"It would be a great thing to do [ourselves], but we don't have the time," said Edwards.
