February 14, 201214 yr We're only hearing one side of the story, the media are sticking up for Evra because he's the one who reported the incident, and also the fact he plays for media darlings Man United, we only get to hear his side of the story. Ferguson can get his snout out too and worry about his own team, he didn't suggest Schemichel leave for calling Ian Wright a rascist name, he stood by his player all the time although Peter was in the wrong. The media never batted an eyelid at what he said to Ian, and only talked about the idea of "separating" them in the tunnel the next time they would meet. Schemichel is a prat and I don't blame Ian Wright for never liking him. Evra is a pathetic cry baby and made a huge fool of himself after the game with his dance, he's only throwing fuel on the fire just to get the media more and more on his side. Totally childish and loving every minute for all the wrong reasons. Suarez is trying to put the whole thing to bed, but Evra is dragging it on, which is damn right CHILDISH. I see De Prick got involved at the hanshakes podium, stupid dodgy prat of a keeper. Makes me effin' sick all this Man United bias/favouritism does, hope Fergie leaves and sticks to his guns unlike the u-turn he made last time (Paul Scholes doing the same bleedin' thing), while his horrible scummy team rot and go bust. Maybe he should leave too for saying "Typical Germans". He thinks he can say what he wants just because he's got "Sir" at the start of his name and manages the scum. A centre-back for Glasgow Rangers in his playing days, hope his former playing team go bankrupt after todays administration, that way a part of his life has been taken away from him. Otherwise, I want to see them survive, because it is a sad story no matter if Fergie played for them or not. I hate rascism, and totally loathe it for that matter, I'm not sticking up for Suarez it's just that we're only hearing Evra's side of the story all the time. Ferguson only got a knighthood because he gave the Labour Party some hefty donations during the Blair years, gifted to him by that slimy bastard Alistair Campbell. A self proclaimed socialist, it's certainly a form of hierarchy he didn't mind on that occasion.
February 14, 201214 yr setting 45,000 Liverpool fans straight[/url] about how and when knighthoods can be awarded :lol:
February 15, 201214 yr Knighthoods are a total joke and should never be awarded, I bet in the old days of real knights Fergie would never stay on his horse. The only people who deserve them are those who save lives and fight for their country, none of this "Services to Manchester" sh*te.
February 15, 201214 yr I am delgihted tevez has returned.... Hope he returns to the team and shows Fergie where to stuff it.
February 15, 201214 yr Huddersfield SACK record-breaking manager Huddersfield Town have sacked manager Lee Clark and his coaching staff. Clark, 39, had been in charge of the League One club since December 2008, losing last season's play-off final. He leaves with the Terriers in fourth position in League One, four points off automatic promotion, following Tuesday's defeat by Sheffield United. "We still have an opportunity to achieve promotion and we have made this change with this in mind," chairman Dean Hoyle told the club website. This was a very difficult decision; one not taken lightly or in response to one result. Concerns have been raised in recent weeks. Lee and his coaching staff have put their all into the job over the past three seasons and has made a huge contribution to the club." BBC Sport understands that Clark was fired in a surprise two-minute phone call from Hoyle, who had not attended the loss to the Blades. It is believed his case has been passed to the League Managers' Association and could lead to a claim for unfair dismissal. Clark, whose playing career included spells at Newcastle, Sunderland and Fulham, guided the club to last season's play-off final, where they were beaten 3-0 by Peterborough. He presided over the longest unbeaten run in the club's history, which saw them go 43 regular season matches without defeat - a Football League record - before a 2-0 loss to Charlton in November. The Terriers have lost twice more in the league since then, including Clark's final match. Academy manager Mark Lillis has been placed in temporary charge of the first team. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17042572
February 15, 201214 yr I am so delighted he is back. No one can stop us now.... Al Aphace.............. TeVeZ........ just as my love for coldplay has returned....

February 15, 201214 yr Arsenal have been pretty abysmal. Bad news seeing Koscielny go off just before half time and even worse news seeing Djourou come on in place of him. The defence has been effortlessly turned over by Milan countless times and I don't think that helps with Szcesny not looking too confident either. His ball distribution has been aimless.

It's a bad day when even Vermaelen's having a shocker at the back. I feel sorry for Thierry too, unless he grabs an away goal, he'll miss out on the romantic goodbye he deserves :(
February 15, 201214 yr As bad as Arsenal have been, AC Milan have been faultless. Certainly seems they are back on the rise to the top in Europe.
February 15, 201214 yr Looks like Serie A is finally finding it's feet in Europe again, after Inter won the competition in 2010, the league shortly went back to square one but since then it's come back again just like it had in the 1990's. Juventus have not lost a league game this season either, looks like the Juventus everyone loved supporter or not is coming back in a way.
February 15, 201214 yr As bad as Arsenal have been, AC Milan have been faultless. Certainly seems they are back on the rise to the top in Europe. Milan have quality throughout the team, they've finally broken their reliance on the older players like Seedorf and Nesta. Still, dirty tactics with the pitch.
February 15, 201214 yr enh, I'll have to attribute this to the usual Arsenal incompetence made worse by injury trouble (Having no real fullbacks, and then losing mertesacker). AC has come back into form in serie a, but I would take either of the top 3 Bundesliga teams over them pretty fast. I am curious to see Juventus though.
February 17, 201214 yr I read one of the first posts on this thread "Xavi Alonso is the most overrated player to ever wear a Liverpool FC shirt." 1. It's Xabi 2. ARE YOU F_CKING KIDDING ME?!
February 17, 201214 yr Portsmouth Football Club back in administration Portsmouth Football Club has entered administration for the second time in three seasons. The Championship club faces being penalised at least 10 points, but could be docked as many as 20. Portsmouth had been issued with a winding-up petition by HM Revenue and Customs on 3 January, freezing the club's bank accounts. The administrator will be Trevor Birch of PKF, a firm with a track record of dealing with clubs in administration. Portsmouth had asked the court to appoint Andrew Andronikou , who oversaw the club's last administration two years ago, and is currently handling the same process with Pompey's parent company. The administration order enables Portsmouth to access their bank accounts and continue trading while Birch, who was proposed as administrator by HMRC, searches for new owners. In a statement, HMRC said it had been concerned about a possible conflict of interest had Andonikou been appointed. The statement continued: "HMRC is pleased that the Court agreed with our view that the creditors of any business have a right to expect that the administrator in these circumstances is completely independent." Mr Birch said he hoped the club's supporters would also be happy to see a new face in charge. "The intention is to try and sell the club as a going concern," he said. I'm used to dealing with clubs in crisis. You could say most of the Championship is in crisis, with 30% of clubs paying wages in excess of 100% of their turnover. You have to travel hopefully and confidently. Maybe the new appointment will encourage someone to come out of the woodwork and bid [for the club]." During the hearing at the High Court, it was revealed that Portsmouth currently owe around £2m to business creditors, as well as a similar sum to the Inland Revenue in unpaid tax. Among those creditors are fellow football clubs West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bristol City, as well as the Football League itself. Portsmouth City Council is owed £78,000. It also emerged electricity and gas suppliers have been threatening to cut off power to the club's Fratton Park stadium for non-payment. And, although Pompey are set to be docked 10 points for going into administation, they could lose further points at the discretion of the Football League as a result of it happening for the second time in such a short period of time. Remarkably, this is the third time Portsmouth have gone into administration in recent years. The club also went into administration in December 1998, prior to being taken over by the Serbian businessman Milan Mandaric. Pompey then became the first Premier League side to enter administration in February 2010, following which they were relegated to the Championship. Going into administration for a second time in such a short period was "disappointing" but the only way the club could go forward, according to Portsmouth North MP Penny Mordaunt. "By going into administration other opportunities will come up for investors, who would have been reluctant to buy the club with a winding-up order hanging over it," she said. Earlier this week it emerged Portsmouth had received their parachute payment from the Premier League early, however, chief executive David Lampitt told BBC Radio Solent it would be up to the administrator how money in Pompey's bank account - understood to be around £2.5m - is spent. Pompey's parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives, entered administration in November, forcing the Championship club to search for new owners. CSI administrator Andronikou then revealed that Pompey had missed two tax payments of £800,000 to HMRC. It later emerged they currently owe HMRC £1.9m in unpaid tax as well as between £4m to £7m from the previous regime. The club announced in January that their players and staff had not been paid their wages for that month, as a result of having their bank account frozen. They later failed to gain a validation order to gain access to their accounts, leaving players and staff at Fratton Park still waiting to be paid. Former owner Balram Chainrai last week said he was flying to the UK to sort out the stricken club's future. The Hong Kong-based businessman, who owned the club with Israeli Levi Kushnir through a company called Portpin, is still owed £17m. BBC South understands that any new purchaser would need to provide £12m as proof of funds, and assurances they could meet another £20m in repayments to former creditors, Chainrai and Alexandre Gaydamak. However, the Portsmouth Supporters' Trust have claimed that Andronikou is asking them to provide £100m in proof of funds before any meeting between them could take place. In a statement issued after the Administration order was confirmed, the PST said it believed the time had come for the club to be owned by the 'city and community'. "A new model of ownership should be developed which will make sure the shameful events of the past few years are not repeated. Pompey fans never want to see their club in court in these circumstances again." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16943651
