I wish Mourinho wasn't such a bad loser.

[Cort Haus]

At least he had some pleasant things to say about Coleman, even if it seems odd for a manager to wish success on their local rivals.

I wonder if reds had put down a ten on Chelsea?

[duke o' york]

Bloody hell.

Cheating, conniving Chelsea. I mean, we clearly weren't going to win with eleven players anyway, but even before that the number of questionable challenges (shonky dives) was getting ridiculous.

[duke o' york]

At least we weren't played off the park (like a certain team from Britain's second city), and if we'd had Owen, then it might have been a different matter. All that remains to be said is: duke4reds4thecup!

Liverpool over Birmingham 7-0 is unreal...

I see SWP has joined the massed ranks of Chelsea divers...

But he's English. It cannot be a dive. We are told every week that only evil foreigners dive.

A natural consequence of the evil, corrupting foreign influence on the purity of the English game.

Ahh c'mon, get over it.
You started passing the ball around too long ago to now blame it all on us.

Batter Blatter!

I see Sepp Blatter is back waving his demands for ethnic quotas to punish Arsenal for playing football people actually want to watch. He says he wants to create a 'level playing field' and help cr@p teams do better.

What next, ballast for players with pace? Automatic entry into the CL final for Millwall? Why have Italian & Spanish clubs been allowed to win a ton of European Cups with foreigners for decades, but as soon as English clubs try to do the same it's "Stop that, I won't let you".

If Blatter has his way Arsenal are dead. We can't afford a 1/4 billion pound stadium debt and the 1/4 billion pound wage & transfer bill for top English players. Ferdinand £30million, Toure £600,000. Go figure Blatter you ****!

He wants to punish Chelsea as well, but I couldn't include them in the sentence about teams that people want to watch. Sorry Mike, but I fell asleep during last nights game, for about the fourth time this year while watching Snoozinio's men. I dunno how the regulars stay upright at the 'Fridge.

Duke - do you reckon you'll get Capello? Or do you think he expects to work for a bigger club?

[CerberusIV]

UEFA have tried limiting the number of non-national players clubs could field in UEFA competitions before now. IIRC they lost the argument on EU restraint of trade grounds. The situation hasn't changed so it is probably just hot air. At most they could possibly restrict non-EU nationals - which won't be popular with non-european Associations whose international players would be denied the opportunity to play in the top european leagues.

Blatter is either very cunning or very stupid. My money is on the latter.

. We can't afford a 1/4 billion pound stadium debt

That's the first thing EUFA should fix, Italian and Spanish all have huge debts but noone cares, these teams wouldn't even be allowed to start in both the dutch and Belgian leagues at the start of the season.
