The place taken by football nowadays in media has once more shown its great human qualities.In main medias everyone notice that he won't play euro 2012 for us.Sorry being french on that point.Lens lost 0 3 at Guingamp last night and in the end confirmation players have given up and happy of their 14th place.Won't pay again this year for a home match.and i am not alone.

As we've discussed before until retrospective video punishment comes in coupled with severe penalties for cheats then the cheats will continue to prosper and this game will continue to be blighted by such appalling displays as from Drogba.
It needn't all be one way either as players wrongly punished could have their penalties reversed too albeit too late to affect the outcome of the game. As for the Hillsborough news it's a very simple matter as history has shown time and time again for those who are actually culpable of the mistakes to pass the blame onto those who can longer speak and defend themselves. If there were indeed drunken fans as is claimed why did the police officers even allow them near the ground in the first place ? It is the FA Cup quarter final stage today and tomorrow. Unfortunately the Premier League seems to think as it is of course the best league in the world bar none that it should remain centre stage with a relatively full league programme. Very disappointing Napoli managed to lose their match as I am no fan of Chelsea from the owner to certain players in that side like Terry and Cole and the enormous number of gloryhunters who have become Chelsea fans over recent seasons. Benfica a club with infinitely richer history and traditions and acheivements are already being written off as cannon fodder. Nothing would give me greater pleasure to see the Eagles win. Guardiola has described Bielsa as the best coach in the world today. Pep used to travel down to Buenos Aires to discuss tactics and footballing philosophies for hours so unsurprising there is admiration between master and pupil. Barca's current tactics are those created by Bielsa a decade or more ago which unfortunately (requiring players at peak fitness) did not work in the 2002 WC for his Argentina who had between 2000-2002 swept aside everyone they had played. One saw this in the game on Thursday night. If players like Munain, Martinez and Llorente can stay at Bilbao they could become a very good team over the next few seasons. It is a remarkable transformation for a side that under Caparros played long ball in La Liga and a very physical game (a trait linked to their English heritage). Both Bilbao and Barcelona have close links having suffered under the fascist regime of Franco and seen as representatives of the Basque nation and Catalonia. |

All rather strange this feigning injury and diving given some of the best exponents of it are playing in several of the more successful teams going around at the moment.
Watching last seasons Real Madrid v Barcelona matches was like watching a bunch of actors training for a mock match in between the actual skilful playing of the ball. As one commentator online said recently when there's SO much money at stake we shouldn't be surprised at the depths players will stoop to to gain the advantage. |

Hillsborough was a disaster waiting to happen, once those fences went up and who really is to blame, The FA for allocating the Leppings Lane End to Liverpool? The Liverpool fans who did not have tickets, but went anyway. The police, for being poorly organised or the Government for having those fences with insufficient escape routes. Hopefully once the report is finaly released the families concerned can get the closure they deserve. As for the PL program, I seem to remember when I first started going to football, for the later rounds of the cup, a fairly full league program being in place. Chelsea/Benfica, I believe it will be a close run thing, with either side being capable of progressing. The media and others here have always underestimated continental opposition Ajax v Liverpool and Deportivo v Aston Villa, being two prime examples |

FAULT: Margaret Thatcher? The Police? Kelvin McKenzie? Was there no fault of any Liverpool supporter trying to get into a game they did not have a ticket to watch? (or were late due to roadworks)? JUSTICE: If you have lost your child/husband/wife in ANY disaster how will justice help these people? Will they sleep better at night? Will they suddenly become happy and satisfied? I think not. Maybe, as horrible as I may sound, we should 'move on', learn by our mistakes and make sure this sort of tragedy does not happen again. Whether its JUSTICE for the 96 or JUSTICE for the 39 at Heysel ... we are all HUMAN and we make mistakes. Salut I.J.

History and historians will make the job as soon as many years will give enough in retrospect capacity of analysis that period of troubles.To give his opinion of disgust is usual BUT it doesn't give an explanation.Historians will do it.and the question is WHY?

Sorry, but those 2 cases seem to be in direct conflict with each other. As for Hillsborough, I think only the people who were there will know the real truth, Liverpool and Forest fans. Ditto Heysel. |

Fabrice Muamba, Bolton Wanderers' and Englanf U-21 midfielder, collapsed during the first half of the FA Cup QF against Spurs at WHL. BBC not reporting his condition other than to say it's very serious, but wikipedia is reporting that he has died.

Actually, his wiki page keeps on changing. It seems someone is editing it to say he's dead, but some others, perhaps with more taste, seem to be continually deleting these updates until there's some official word.
