2-0! (DJ Campbell, 43)

 

fantasy points for me but come on what dreadful defending!! :o

^

 

Fergie's going to need a wind turbine not a hairdryer.

Could be a great night for Arsenal providing they can find a way through Ipswich in the League Cup semi. That Denilson though - I almost hate him for being so crap.

1-2 now (Berbatov the lazy goal machine, 72)

 

Blackpool tiring but still look good value for the win overall

They'll win that now. Getting assisted to another win though. Blackpool should have had a certain penalty. Lucky ****s!

Yeah yeah, thought it might be. To be fair on Berbatov he's answering his critics...unlike Rooney. Holloway will go looney at that **** ref Walton though. Undoubtedly cost his side a win.

 

Still Arsenal 2 - 0 Ipswich. Arsenal are on the road to Wembley unless Ipswich can find something.

I'm no athletics man but the London bid made a promise that the stadium would be a lasting legacy for track and field post 2012 and Tottenham's incredibly arrogant bid totally breaks that legacy promise. Tottenham say having a track round a football stadium always turns out to be a failure. Erm how? Look in Germany - Bayern Munich played football at the Munich Olympistadion for over 30 years and were of course European Champions 4 times in that period with fantastic support during that era. Hertha Berlin play in the Berlin Olympic Stadium and yes perhaps the fans would like to get closer to the action but at the end of the day they are still able to have a good time. The Stade De France, perhaps the most magnificent of all stadiums in Europe, has a running track around it but still offers an immense atmosphere in both football and rugby.

 

West Ham should get it but at the end of the day I'm disappointed that the stadium appears to have no plans to host rugby matches, cricket matches and football matches. It would be a perfect venue for all these sports particularly cricket. With West Ham's bid Britain could finally have the possibility of hosting the European and World Athletics Championships at the very least.

 

West Ham should get it because the stadium is in East London, where West Ham are based. Spurs are North London. Also Crystal Palace is in such a rubbish location, true they can make it a wonderful stadium but transport links are bad.

Good stuff from Arsenal yet again. It's 3-0. Arsenal are going to Wembley and look good favourites in ending their near 6 year trophy drought.

 

right thread!

Andy Gray has been Sacked...

He will be missed. !!

 

Oh god could my opinion of you get any lower, you are a fan of Andy fucking Gray?!

:bigcry:MARK VAN BOMMEL TRANSFERRED TO AC FUCKING MILAN FROM BAYERN MUNICH:bigcry:

Be happy Milan, you now have a great defensive midfielder :heart::bigcry:

I guess he's going to retire after a season or two IN MILAN :shifty:

the reason was cos Louis Van Gaal had rifts with MvB :(

Dang! And I had half a hope he might go to Liverpool! Still to AC Milan is a great move for him. That club adds at least two more seasons to veterans like himself.

I too thought that if he was going anywhere it would be Liverpool or anywhere in the EPL! Yeah AC Milan hopefully will use him well!

Noticed how you chose to part quote me.

 

I found the full story, and now I reckon they was right to Sack him, if I made or anyone else made such a suggest ment to a female college in the workplace

 

I would be expected to be sacked. !

well whaddya know, a male linesman getting a major decision wrong, Torres goal ruled out incorrectly for offside. Bring back Sian Massey and Wendy Toms!

Richard Keys resigns from Sky after sexist remarks

 

Richard Keys has resigned as a Sky presenter following his sexist comments about female referee Sian Massey. Apologising for his remarks, 53-year-old Keys accepted they had been "unacceptable", adding: "I've reached the decision it's time to move on."

 

Pundit Andy Gray, 55, had already been dismissed by the broadcaster after further allegations of sexist behaviour from the former striker came to light. "Going forward without Andy would have been almost impossible," Keys stated. Earlier on Wednesday, Keys suggested "dark forces" had been at work in preventing him from making amends.

 

"I apologised on the Sunday," the presenter told talkSPORT. "I realised how deeply wrong we were. Having done that I asked 'could we make people aware of the fact we had a conversation and that both parties felt it was right to move on?' I was told 'no'. Then 24 hours had passed, by which time the world had gone mad. I don't know why I was told 'no' and stopped from telling people what I had done."

 

The furore began on Saturday when Keys and Gray, believing their microphones were switched off, were recorded before the match between Wolves and Liverpool at Molineux making derogatory comments about Massey's ability to do her job.

 

Speaking ahead of the Premier League fixture, Keys added: "Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her."

 

Gray quipped: "Women don't know the offside rule."

 

Sky Sports Managing Director Barney Francis said in a statement: "It is disappointing that Richard's career at Sky should end in these circumstances.

 

"However, Richard recognises that his comments at the weekend were unacceptable and we note that he has made a full and public apology. We thank him for his time in helping make Sky Sports the success it is today."

 

Gray was dismissed after new footage, which was recorded in December 2010 but only came to light on Monday night, appeared to show the pundit making a suggestive comment towards colleague Charlotte Jackson.

 

Gray, who reportedly had earned £1.7m a year, issued an apology on Wednesday afternoon and added that he was devastated to have lost his job.

 

In the original incident Keys - who subsequently telephoned Massey to apologise for the comments - and Gray discussed remarks made by West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady in the Sun newspaper about the levels of sexism in football.

 

"See charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Yeah. Do me a favour love," Keys said.

 

But Keys added on talkSPORT that he had unsuccessfully tried to contact Brady to apologise to her. "I tried to ring Karren twice on Sunday night," Keys explained. "There was no answer and there is no answerphone on it. I texted her in case she did not know who was trying to call and asked her to ring me back. I tried to ring her to say sorry but she did not take my call."

 

Keys continued: "Our prehistoric banter is not acceptable in a modern world. We were wrong. It was wrong. It shouldn't have happened."

 

The comments made by Keys and Gray were criticised by Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand, who described them as "pre-historic" on Twitter. "I noticed he tweeted and said what we said was pre-historic - but are you saying it does not happen in the Manchester United dressing room?" Keys asked. "My information is that it does."

 

Meanwhile, Brady insisted Keys had "added insult to injury" by his comments about her on talkSPORT. "Perhaps Richard thought I was too busy making the tea and washing up to take his call but a cursory glance at the weekend's newspapers or television would have made him well aware that I was heavily occupied with the West Ham and Newham Council Olympic Stadium bid. :laugh3: "This is not about an apology to me, but about an apology to all women. Richard represents views that myself and those who work in the business of football find totally dinosaur."

 

And the chair of football's equality and inclusion campaign Kick It Out Lord Herman Ouseley suggested the scandal offered the sport an opportunity to move "forward to a more positive era where treating people with dignity and respect is at the forefront". It is important, however, that the debate is is kept alive on this and how we ensure humour or banter doesn't descend into offending people," Ouseley stated.

 

Keys and Gray have been the face of Sky Sports' football coverage since the satellite broadcaster started showing English top-flight matches in 1992.
