MANAGERS HAVE RIGHT TO QUESTION WRONG DECISIONS

After all Football is a very tense sport, huge amounts of money, managers jobs are at stake. Foe example the Chelsea owner has sacked coaches for not reaching the champion league.
So legally speaking U.E.F.A should allow managers to speak to the referees , after all they are not criminals. And we are seeing more and more silly mistakes being made by these blind bats called referees. And managers of English clubs are given very bad and harsh punishments especially Arsene Wenger, as Arsenal have been 15 years in a row in the Champion league.
The Chelsea Barcelona game is a classic example. In the match three penalties were not given. Niclas Anelka brought down Eric Abidal, according to the replay.Bt the referee sent Eric Abidal with a red card.Here does not the manager have a right to question the decision ?Bosingwa called the referee a thief , as points were stolen from Chelsea.>Bosingwa got three match ban , and Drogba called the referee a F---Disgrace. He got five match ban.The referee was not punished.Soon even if Arsene Wenger coughs he will get a fine and ban.Shame on Platini, And shame on U.E.F.A.

WENGER GETS A THREE MATCH BAN .

Arsene Wenger the Arsenal manager has been given a three match ban and a fine of 33,000 pounds. For showing disrespect to the referee. Arsene Wenger only said that far to many free kicks were awarded to A.C. Milan , in the second leg match which Arsenal won 3-0.
It is a absolute shame that U.E.F.A are corrupt and only wait to fine and ban players and managers.And the managers of English clubs are always targeted. Jose Mourinho always talks against the referees, he even poked the eye of a Barcelona staff. But what punishment did he get, just a mild hit on his knuckles.
U.E.F.A only want money , just like F.i.F.A all corrupt.
In the Arsenal verses A.c. Milan game the Mafia and its money could have played a part.
As Wenger said these U.E.F.A referees are untouchables, I would say they are more like Gods in U.E.F.A Gods that make huge blunders.
Platini the president of U.E.F.A does not want goal line technology to be used , but F.i.F.A will use it.Arsene Wenger, Michael

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS WANT CONTE AS COACH.

As it is widely reported that Harry Redknapp the coach of Tottenham hotspurs , will finally be selected for the job as coach of England, as the post is now vacant.
There is talk in Italy that the former player and present coach of Juventus, The Old Lady Of Turin will be chosen to fill the shoes of Redknapp.
But the big sticking point will be the language.Does Antonio Conte now proper English?
But if he does not know proper English, then Spurs will face the same problem they faced under the former Spanish coach Juande Ramos.

BARCELONA COMPLAIN TO U.E.F.A.

Barcelona complained to U.E.F.A , after the champion league first leg match at THE SAN SIRO.
Barcelona in their official complain to U.E.F.A , have said the pitch was in a very poor state to hold a champion league game, players often slipped on the turf and chunks of the turf same out regularly.Making playing there very hard indeed.
The vice Chairman of A.C. Milan Adriano Gallani , did agree with Pep Guardiola, and said that the turf indeed need replacing .
U.E.F.A will be looking into this complain.
The big problem is that the San Siro belongs to both the Italian giants A.C. Milan and Inter Milan.
Mr Adriano Galani has said that if Inter Milan, have no problems with the changing of the turf it can be done.

RADAMEL FALCAO IS WANTED BY MANCHESTER CITY.

The Colombian striker Radamel Garcia Falcao , who joined Atletico Madrid from F.C.Porto for a huge 34 million Euros. He came in to replace the other striker Sergio Aguero , who was sold to Manchester City for a huge amount.
Now Edin Dezko the Serbian striker wants to leave city, so they want Radamel Falcao as a replacement.
But one thing is very clear he will not come cheap to City, they will have to pay through their noses for him. After all he is a goal scoring machine , where ever he played. From River Plate, F.C. Porto and now Atletico Madrid.His desire is to play at big clubs in Europe.
City have already spoken to his agent about the move.

SPURS FAIL TO AGREE ON ADEBAYORS FEE..

The English club Tottenham Hotspurs, who had the striker Emmanuel Adebayor , on loan from Manchester City. Had a desire in the beginning to take him on loan and if he did well, to make the move permanent.
But things do not seem to be working for both the club and the player . As Manchester City pay a highly inflated weekly salary to Adebayor which is 170,000 pounds.
David Levy the chairman of Spurs is a person who balances his books, and will only pay him a weekly salary of 1000,0000 pounds.Plus bonuses and on performances.We must also see that his goals have long since dried up.
Spurs have now taken 33 year old French striker Luis Saha, as Adebayor may rejoin Manchester City after the loan spell ends.

U.E.F.A WILL NOT USE TECHNOLOGY.

Sadly U.E.F.A have bluntly decided to reject the goal line technology. Even if and when it comes in place.So it will not be used in The European cup or even in the Champion League. The U.E.F.A president Michael Platini has been a strong person against it. He says football will be a play station.
But this fool has forgotten the many blunders made by the F.I.F.A referees in the 2010 world cup. A total of seven referees were told to pack their bags and leave South Africa.The biggest howler by F.I.F.A was not giving the Lampard goal verses Germany.
But if and when goal line technology does come , it will be used by all F.I.F.A world cups including the ladies world cup.
Michael Platini will prefer to have a referee behind each goal.
But he should know by now,the fourth referee and these two knew referees will agree to what the main referee says , after all they are all employees of U.E.F.A , and will support each other.Welcome to sacks of blunder Mr Platini.

ARSENAL TO SELL FRINGE PLAYERS.

Arsenal have decided to sell all their fringe players, who are of no use to the club.They are getting huge weekly salaries and some are even playing out on loan.Arsenal is a club that always balances its books.This money will be used to buy players.

FABRICE MOUMBA SUFFERS A HEART ATTACK ON THE PITCH.

Fabrice Moumba , whose father was a refugee from Zaire, now called Democratic Republic of Congo.He started his football with the Arsenal youth team. But realized that he would not get a regular starting place, so he moved to Birmingham , and then to Bolton Wanderers.In the 2011-2012 F.A. cup match between Totenham Hotspurs and Bolton Wanderers , he collapsed on the pitch with a heart attack, and it did not beat for 79 minutes.This lead to fears that he would suffer a brain damage due to no blood in the brain.
But as luck would have it there was a cardiologist a Spurs fan who ran onto the pitch and helped him , by taking him in the ambulance to The Chest hospital where he worked.
Footballers around the world like Spain where the Real Madrid players had jerseys with the words Fabrice get well.In the U.S.A former club mate Thierry Henry flew down from New York to spend five minutes with his friend Fabrice Moumba. He then flew back to play in the U.S.Afor The Red Bulls.Henry armband had words of Moumba.
After all in Football we are all one big family, only football matters for us.

RIO FERDINAND TO GET A NEW CONTRACT.

Yes Rio Ferdinand the record buying defender in the E.P.L who is now 33years old , and has had a few injuries last year and this year as well.Has now got good news , Ferguson is ready to give him a new two year contract , and keep him at the club till he is 35 years old. Another pensioner with the Red Devils.
But the contract has a clause in it . As Rio Ferdinand gets a weekly salary of 120,000 thousand pounds, but the new weekly salary will be 70,000 pounds, a drop of a neat 50,000 pounds weekly.And the rest will be in how many games he plays.

SPANISH CLUBS OWE HUGE TAX TO THE GOVERNMENT.

ROBERTO MANCINI SHOULD HAVE BEEN SACKED FOR CALLING TEVEZ.

Roberto Mancini should have been sacked for recalling Carlos Tevez ,to play in the E.P.L. match verses Chelsea.
You can imagine the amount of loss to Manchester City , Tevez did not smell the ball leave alone kick it, but was drawing a huge weekly salary of over 200,000 pounds.The club was divided over him.
Mancini said Carlos Tevez would never ever play for Manchester City again as long as he is the manager.
But so desperate was he to catch up and overtake Manchester United , that he called Tevez back ,to play verses Chelsea and to win.
Mancini and the Arab owners have no shame and no discipline at all.
You could bet Arsene Wenger would have even sold Tevez for a loss, and would never ever play him again, in the same situation. City have lost all respect from their fans.

LIONEL MESSI FIRST GOAL.

Lionel mess i the Argentinean striker who plays his club football at Barcelona.
As he suffered from hormone problems, and Barcelona were willing to spend the money on him. But they were not sure how long he would play.So the first contract made with lionel Messi was made on a paper napkin in a hotel.
His first goal for Barcelona was scored in 2005 verses Albacte. That goal was also scored by the youngest player in the Spanish League. Messi was just 17 years.
Recently he broke the all time top scorer for Barcelona with 234 goals. Breaking Cesar Rodrigues old record, mind you he is only 24 years today.

MANCINI REALLY NEEDED CARLOS TEVEZ.

Roberto Mancini the Manchester City coach really needs Carlos Tevez to help Manchester City win the E.P.L.
But he and Manchester City fans have a very short memory indeed.In the month of September in Munich , during the Champion league as he refused to play. Roberto Mancini made it very clear .He said Carlos Tevez was finished for good at Manchester City, and would never ever play under him in a blue jersey of Manchester City again as long as he was coach.
But Carlos Tevez did play for Manchester City in March verses Chelsea. He came on in the 66th minute, and helped Samir Nasri score the winner.
But some fans were really disgusted and walked out.
But Roberto Mancini has no shame at all.He brought on Carlos Tevez , with one intention only and that was to win this match with Chelsea , and defeat Manchester United for the E.p.L. title.
But one thing is sure carlos Tevez would not have been tolerated at either Arsenal, Roberto Mancini. or Manchester United.
Even the Arab owners after having a loss of 195 million pound this year , 121 million pounds last yearstill wants to buy more players.
The other reason is to let Carlos Tevez play and sell him for more money.

HOW CAN HARRY REDKNAPP OPEN THIS BANK ACCOUNT

I fail to understand how ever did Harry Redknapp the Spurs manager opened a account in the French city of Monaco . The account was opened in the name of his dog., Rosie. It was opened in the name of Rosie ,47 that is the year he was born in 1947.
For example to open a account in any bank in India you will have to provide the following.
1) Two photographs.
2) A P.A.N CARD. PERMANENT ACCOUNT NUMBER.
3) Proof of residence.Like Electric Bill, Ration card,or Passport copy.

HENRY MAKES A VISIT TO LONDON.

Thierry Henry the former Arsenal striker, and their all time top scorer.
Made a flying trip from New York to London. As he plays his club football for the New York Red Bulls.The purpose of this quick visit, was to see his former youth team member Fab rice Moumba , who collapsed while playing a F.A. Cup match verses Tottenhem Hotspurs. The match was abandoned by referee Howard Webb.
Henry entered from the back door of the Chest and Heart hospital. He only spent a few minutes with Fabrice Moumba a, and then flew back to the U.S.A.But this gesture was very touching indeed.Because Moumba knew he would not get in the team , during the time of Henry.

RULES CHANGED IN THE E.P.L AFTER CECH INJURED.

The rules in the E.P.L have changed a great deal in the interest of the players health.And it all came after tragedy struck Petr Cech and Chelsea , in the year 2006.In that year Petr Cech the Chelsea goalkeeper had a very bad collusion wit the Reading player Richard Hunt.It resulted in Cech getting a skull fracture.
Jose Mourinho said a ambulance took 30 minutes to arrive. Now a ambulance must be there at each match and ready with full staff.
2)Each club must have their own doctors at the E.p.L game.
3)The doctor must be sitting on the bench with the coach.
4) Annual medical medical examination must be carried out on all players.
5) All home clubs must have available mandatory medical equipment as prescribed by the E.p.L.
6) At least two paramedics must be available to deal with emergencies.
7) All doctors must complete A.R.E.A Advanced Resuscitation and Emergency Aid.
If Fabrice Moumba pulls through it will be because of these new rules.

Fernando Torres the Spanish footballer, who plays his club football with Chelsea. The club he joined from Liverpool , for a huge 50 million pounds, he a; also gets a weekly salary of 180,000 pounds a week.
But sadly Fernando Torres went into goal scoring drought. The last goal he had scored for Chelsea was in the champion league on 19/10/2009. It was verses the Belgian minnows Genk, it took him 25 hours and 41 minutes to score that goal , and break his duck. But mind you it was in the F.A. cup verses second division club Lester The Foxes.
Fernando Torres aften called The EL NINO or The Kid has lost his place in the Spanish team , and even fail to play for Spain at the Euro 2012.
But he had a chance to score a penalty and get that goal. But he politely refused.

ERIC ABIDAL TO HAVE A LIVER TRANSPLANT.

The French footballer and world cup and Euro winner, who plays his club football with Spanish giants Barcelona , and who is 32 years old now.
Last year he had a tumor removed from his liver, but now the Barcelona website say that Eric Abidal will now undergo a liver transplant. The date is not yet set.
But one thing is very clear all football fans where ever they are, and which club they support will be with him in their prayers .That the liver transplant will be a big success, and the body will accept the new organ, without a rejecting chance.
The Barcelona captain Carles Puyol , has said this was a very rude shock for the entire club, and all its fans world over.
After Eric Abidal had the tumor removed, he then played in the champion league final, and wore the armband and also lifted the trophy. But it is not possible for him to recover in time for the Euro 2012.

ARSENAL CREATE A NEW RECORD.

Arsenal in the E.P.L are making a habit of scoring crucial goals in the injury time.
Many players do it, but it is often equalizer .
But the Arsenal players have now come back from back in four E.P.L matches It is a new record.

NASRI LEFT FOR TROPHIES, ANY CHANCE NOW.

Samir Nssri boldly said that he left Arsenal, to join Manchester City to win medals.
But in this year there is no Champion League, Europa League, F.A. Cup or Carling cup. Only the E.P.L cup remains to be won , but that is also doubtful as Manchester United are not in a habit of letting a lead slip by. The major game is the clash between Manchester United and Manchester City.
So desperate is this spineless Italian Roberto Mancini.That he is very keen to get Carlos Tevez back in shape to play and score goals.
But Mancini had clearly said Carlos Tevez was finished at City for good , and will never play a game under him.
But what if the club are divided on this point , and may cause a revolt.
Or it could only be to let Tevez play and sell him for a better price, now it is sunk low. Or it could be to let Crlos Tevez play the 10 percent in a year , if he does not play, he can even tear up his contract and leave City a free agent.

MANCHESTER UNITED ARE DEFEATED BY BILBAO.

in the second leg of the Europa League match , the mighty Manchester United faced Athletic o Madrid , the English club were in trouble ,not only were they knocked out of the Champion League, in the Europa League ,they faced the Spanish club who stand seventh in Spain.
The first match ended 3-2.The second match ended 2-1 , an aggregate of 5-3. Ferguson men were well and truly beaten. The reason was very poor defense and their midfield failed badly Carrick was even taken out of the game. Only a few chances came to Ashley Young .And Rooney
The only goal that Manchester United scored was a penalty by Wayne Rooney, it was a consolation goal only.
The Star of the match was the Spaniard Lorentte . Who was born when when Ryan Giggs played his first game.
To make matters worse Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney limped of the pitch with injuries.

ALBERTO AQUILANI MAY JOIN A.C.MILAN PERMANENTLY.

The Italian footballer Alberto Aquilani , who did cost Liverpool 17 million pounds, and was a super flop there, mind you he did have the talent in him but.
He was one of the many flops got in by Rafael Benitez, during his time at Liverpool.
He joined Juventes last year on loan and this year he is playing for another Italian giant mind you it's A.C.Milan.
Now the Liverpool fans can very well kiss him good buy for good. As there are a few clauses in the contract of his. Like if he plays 25 matches for Milan , then they can buy him at a cut out price of 5 million pounds, peanuts I must say
And he is doing very well at Milan , they are happy with him.

A PLEA TO SELL BEER AT THE 2022 WORLD CUP.

Sir David Richards was in Qatar to plead that Qatar governmental to lift their strict laws where drinking is concerned.For the 2022 world cup.
If it is not lifted many, many fans will boycott the world cup.
This world cup will be the quietest ever , oh what bore it will be .
By the way Qatar and F.I.F.A have forgotten one thing most of the world cups are sponsored by big beer companies like Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heineken . Now get ready for Emirates Airlines to do the job or Etihad Airlines. A company that has never made a profit since 2002.
One thing is clear F.I.F.A got sacks of money from Qatar to give them the 2022 world cup.

FERGUSON TO SELL DIMITROV BERBATOV.

Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to sell the Bulgarian striker Dimitrov Berbatov who is now 31 years old, and is not getting a starting place in the team.They paid Tottenham Hotspurs 30.75 million pounds for him, sadly he was not used that much.
As his contract does expire in the summer, but the cunning fox Alex Ferguson has thought of plan to make sure they do get some money for him.But it is very sure that they will not get the amount they paid for him, and as they do not want him to slip through their fingers in the summer.
Ferguson will give Berbatov a new one year contract and then sell him in the January market.

LIONEL MESSI IN THE GOAAL.

The little Argentinean striker who stands 5feet 4 inches, and plays for Spanish giants Barcelona .
He is now Barcelona's second top scorer, with only five goals needed to be top scorer.
He is the only footballer ever to score five goals in a Champion League.
But THE METRO showed us pictures taken by team mate Carles Puyol. Here Lionel Messi was in the goalkeepers jersey and fully stretched saving a goal with the tips of his fingers.
Now we ask what the little Phenom en can not do on the pitch?a

EDWIN VAN DER SAR NEW RECORD.

Edwin Van Der Sar the famous Dutch goalkeeper who played for the following clubs Ajax, Juventus , Fulham and Manchester United. He also became the first none Italian goalkeeper for Juventus. He lost the place to Gigi Buffon , who joined Juventus from Pharma for a record 32.4 million -pounds, he is still the costliest goalkeeper ever.
Edwin Van Der sar from August 2008 to March 2009 , did not let in a single goal into the Manchester United net. The first goal came in the fifteenth match of the E. P.L season, after 1303 minutes.
As each game is played for 90 minutes, so 90x 15 would have been 1350 minutes , the end of the 15match.
This by the way is world record, a very safe pair of hands.

A NEW CHAMPION LEAGUE RECORD BY MESSI.

Lionel Messi of Barcelona , has made history in the 2011-2012 Champion League , Group of 16. In their match verses the German club Bayern Leverkusens second leg match.
Lionel Messi scored five goals, the goals came in the 25th, 42 nd 49th, 58th and 84th minute. Two more were added by Christian Tello scored two goals in the 56th, and 62nd minute. Leverkuaen scored one goal by Bellarbi in the 90th minute.The match ended in a 10-2 Aggregate.
His fellow team mate Xavi Hernandez has said it well, We have clearly run out of adjectives to describe him. If he fails to score even a single goal he will always assist in getting a goal scored.
As Pep Guardiola said A player like him comes once in a while on this planet,You will never see a player like him again for sure.

DIDIER DROGBA FIRST AFRICAN TO SCORE 100 GOALS.

The big strong striker from the Ivory Coast Didier Drogba became the first black African footballer, ever to score 100 goals in the E.p.L.
And he has scored it all for the E.p.L. club Chelsea.He joined Chelsea from Marseilles , a French club.

A FAIRY TALE FROM CYRUS.

Apoel Nicosia is a small club with a very tight budget on the island of Cyprus. In the year 2011/12, they became the first club from Cyprus to qualify for TheChampion league ever.
Manchester united spent 50 million pounds in the summer transfer.16 million on Ashley Young, 16 million pounds on Phil Jones and 18 million on David deGea. While Apoel Nicosia spent only 200,000 pounds, most of the players have joined on the Bossman rule.
Apoels Nicosia has a yearly budget of 7.2 million pounds.While Manchester United has a budget 25 times of that.They pay the players yearly 200,000 pounds, that is equal to carlos tevez, weekly salary at Manchester city.Their highest paid footballer Estaben Scolari gets only 8,000 pounds a year.
They have knocked out mighty Lyon from the group of 16, and have reached the quarter finals for the first time ever.

WHEN ZALATAN IBRAHIMOVIC REFUSED TO JOIN ARSENAL.

It is a well known secret that Arsene Wenger the famous French coach of Arsenal, has a sharp eye for young talent around the world. Some he spotted and failed to get due to work permits and passport trouble are Petr Cech , Yaya Toure.
One player he wanted was Zalatan Ibrahimovic . But when Arsene Wenger asked him to show what he could do on the pitch, and if he is as good as Theirry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Mark Overmars and Robert Pires.
To this Zalatan Ibrahimovic was offended and the rest was history he joined Ajax, and then to Juventus, Barcelona, where there was a big swap for Samuel Etoo, joined A.c.Milan.

FORMER ARSENAL LAYERS AT CITY.

Many Arsenal players thought Manchester city grass was greener with high pay.
1) Kolo Toure. He joined Arsenal in 2002, from A.S.E.C.For 150,000 pounds.But then joined Manchester City in 2009 for 16million pounds.Arsenals profit was 15.85 million pounds.He is not even on the bench now.

4) Emmanuel Adebayor. Joined Arsenal from Monaco for 7 million pounds. Sold to Manchester City in 2009 for25 million pounds. The highest for a black player from Arsenal. Arsenal profit 18 million pounds. Today he has no place in City, he was with Real Madrid on loan , and now in loan with Tottenham Hotspurs.
Grass is never greener on the other side.

PODLOSKI WILL JOIN ARSENAL.

Lukas Podloski the German footballer of Polish decent , has decided to join Arsenal in the summer, he will join from German club Cologne who are now fourteenth in the Bundersliga. Arsenal have agreed to pay 10.9 million pounds for the player, he will also get a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.Making him one of the highest paid players at Arsenal.
Arsenal are known to have a strict pay structure, and when buying as well. Cologne wanted 15 million pounds in January and then reduced it to 12 million pounds.
One thing is certain next year the goal scoring will not fall only on Robin van Persie . The person who made it possible was fellow German Per Merserkar, who kept sending text messages to Podloksi.
Lukas Podloski had rejected a 40 million deal from Russian club Anzhi Marchakala , who were willing to pay him a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds , for four years.

MANCINI WANTS ROBIN VAN PERSIE.

Roberto Mancini the coach of Manchester City is keen to buy Robin Van Persie, he has promised to pay him 220,000 pounds a week. Mind you City have already five famous strikers, who are all very good. And they are getting roughly 200,000 pounds as weekly salary.So he will just pay that much for the player may not even be on the bench.Plai criminal waste of money.
And due to these high salaries he can not even sell a player.The loss of the club last year was 195 million pounds, the previous year it was 121 million pounds.
But Arsenal have warned Manchester City and Mancini , that they may be reported to U.E.F.A and the F.A. for illegally making contact with Robin Van Persie.

THE TOP PASSERS IN EUROPE.

In the European leagues that is Spanish , Italian, English, French and Dutch teams.
Barcelona are the leaders where passing is concerned. Barcelona are known for their short, crisp passing and keeping the ball for 70 percent of the game, this frustrates the other team.
The players to make the top list are as follows.
1) Xavi Hernandez . Club Barcelona. 1,553 passes in this years Champion League.
2) Lionel Messi. Club Barcelona. 1,351 passes, in this champion league.

U.E.F.A ARE READY TO BAN ARSENE WENGER.

U.E.F.A are all getting ready to ban Arsene Wenger for the words of anger used on the referee in the Champion League match played between Arsenal and A.C. Milan, played on 6/3/2012, which Arsenal won 3-0, but lost 4-3 aggregate.
It is a well known fact the standard of refereeing is getting worse all the time. In the 2010 world cup 7 referees were sent packing home. In the E.P.L Marc Atkinson has been demoted a few times.
The referee in this match sided with A.C. Milan , just a touch by a Arsenal player and the Milan players fell like a sack of potatoes.The Milan players could win a Oscar.
But what I cant understand is there is freedom of speech, we can speak against our presidents and leaders so why not against a U.E.F.A referee who has failed in his job after collecting money.They sure are not gods.U.E.F.A and F.I.F.A always support the referees no matter what blunders they do on the field.After all these referees are their employees after all.
The big clubs always get favoured , like Manchester United and Milan.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS OFFER MODRIC 3.5 MILLION POUNDS AS BONUS.

According to THE DAILY MAIL. Tottenham Hotspur and their chairman David Levy have decided to keep Luka Modric, the Croatian play maker at the club.As he has so far failed to sign a new contract.
So the club have decided to give a Loyalty Bonus of 3.5 million pounds to him, and to increase his weekly salary to 100,000 pounds a week. As Spurs like Arsenal have a very strict pay for their players.This is the highest the club will go.
But David Levy is still doubtful that he will be able to keep Modric at the club.
As Manchester United may offer him 130,000 pounds a week, as they are paying Ashley Young now.
The other point of keeping him at the club will be . W ether Harry Redknapp remains next year at tottenham Hotspurs, or will the F.A appoint him as coach of England for the Euro 2012.

ARSENAL VERSES A.C.MILAN. 2012.

In the group of 16 second leg match between Arsenal verses A.C. Milan , played at the Emirates stadium, was a dam good match.
Arsenal lost the first leg match 4-0. And all what people were so sure of was that Arsenal would loose the second leg with a 5-0 score, these boys would not score a single goal even or for the matter put up a good fight either.
But football fans were in for a game of their lives. And it was one of Champion League greatest comebacks ever. The first half was all Arsenal , scoring goals in the 7th minute , 24th minute and a penalty in the 43rd minute.A.C. Milan were ragged and lost.Thiago Silva even gave a careless pass to Rosicky to score a goal.
The second half was sadly belonging to the referee , who gave far to many free kicks in A.C. Milans favour . Wenger did speak angrily to the referee in the tunnel.
Now will U.E.F.A give Wenger a ban? In my opinion it should be the referee to get a ban and not Wenger.
After All this match fixing has entered football. For example F.I.F.A are examining the match between Bahrain verses Indonesia.Which Bahrain needed 9 goals to win in the world cup qualifiers.
The players of the day were rosicky and theOX.

THERE WILL BE NO SHORTAGE OF COACHES F

There will be no shortage of coaches for Chelsea, for sure.Even though the manager may sign a four year contract at the club, he may be out in a year or two.So he will just collect the compensation and move on.Just plain quick buck.
The trouble is the Russian owner is indeed a man with out patience.It is not possible to win trophies in the first year , it all takes time, look at Arsene wenger at Arsenal 7 years with out silverware, so what.
Here Chelsea were in the champion league running for the fourth place, see the end of the season before sacking.
Now who will take over Chelsea beside Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez or Fabio Capello. Or the dark horse could be David Moyes.
But one thing is clear Roman Abromohvic has destroyed Chelsea and his sacking method of managers is a disgrace.

PAVEL POGREBNYAK SCORES IN THREE MATCHES.

The first player in Fulham history to score a goal in three matches was a Russian on loan at the club for a short time only.But he has set in so well with the other players, mind you in the E.P.L language and accent are a big problem for footballers who come from many countries to play and make money.
He not only became the first Fulham player to score in his first three matches, he also put a icing on the cake, in the match verses Wolverhampton with a glorious hat trick.

CHELSEA MUST PAY THE SPECIAL ONE 12 MILLION POUNDS.

But Jose Mourinho has demanded a yearly salary of 12 million pounds. And he also wants Chelsea to buy Christiano Ronaldo, but the price will be very high, as Real Madrid paid 80 million pounds for him from Manchester United.
Ronaldo has also indicated that he wants to leave Real Madrid and return to the E.P.L.

CHELSEA SACK ANDREA VILLAS BOAS,

Chelsea have now sacked their coach Andrea Villas Boas , after only eight months.And this is ridiculous , as a coach needs time to settle in a new country and new conditions as well as new players and newer ones joining in january transfer .
Andrea Villas Boas became the eighth coach of Chelsea in nine years.
But what did happen at Chelsea? The problem was the players only.
As John Terry, Frank Lampard, Nicklas Anelka were as old as the coach, and were not keen to listen and follow his instructions, they became to big for their boots.
Chelsea allowed the squad to age up together, many are in their last legs , as footballers.
And the main problem was the owner Roman Abromvich who had so much money he kept dictating whom he should buy and who he should sack.
Look at Arsenal , Kronke gives money but does not poke his nose.
Who wants to drink this poisonous cup now?
Roman paid F.C.Porto 13 1/2 million pounds as compensation, and he paid Andrea villas Boas 8 million pounds.

JOSE MOURINHO GOES HOUSE HUNTING IN LONDON.

Jose Mourinho the coach of Real Madrid was recently in London. the reason was that he was house hunting looking for one in London.
This has lead to speculations, that he is fed up with Real Madrid and the Spanish press.And he is either going to take up the job at Tottenham Hotspur, if Harry Redknapp does leave to take over the job of being England's manager. The other story going around is he will take over Chelsea.
There is another story going around and that is , Arsene Wenger may take up the job at Real Madrid, as this is the third time they have wanted him.
Mourinho also ate at his favorite hotel, and he told them that he would not be taking the Chelsea job.
It is funny then to buy a house if he is not going to stay in it , and stay in Madrid.

COMPARE CAPELLO SALARY WITH THE OTHERS.

Fabio Capello the Italian manager of England's football team got a yearly salary of 6,six million pounds. which was far to much.
As Brazil payed Dunga, a world cup winner only a million pounds.Argentina payed Diego Maradona also a world cup winner one million pounds.
Oscar Washington Tabarez the coach of Uruguay also roughly one million pounds.But Tabarez got Uruguay to the semi finals of the 2010 world cup, he also won the Copa America with Uruguay.Capello has won nothing with England.
The French coach at the 2010 world cup Raymond Domonech gota salary of 500,000 pounds.
Bob Bradley the coach of the U.S.A world cup got a salary 25 times less then Fabio Capello.
The German coach of the underdog team Greece that won the Euro 2004 got below a million pounds.
Why should England pay so much to their coaches? As a trophy last came in 1966.
