Both Michal Platini and Sepp Blatter said it was wrong to do it . And Blatter even said that points would be deducted if they walked out like this. I do agree walking will not solve the racial problem in football, we have to solve the problem by banning these idiots who do it for life , and putting them in jail for trial. But now both Platini and Sepp Blatter are praising Boateng and A.c.Milan for their stand they took. It clearly shows these two presidents of football do not know what is happening in football today.

It is indeed a big worry for England football, s the players who play for England , the talented ones like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Steven Gerrard are in their thirties. But the young footballers are not of the same class to math say the young Germans or the Spaniards. Geoff Hurst the world cup winner in 1966 , and the only player to score a hat trick in a world cup final match. This is what he says England will not win a world cup for another century at least. The reason being to many foreign players are taking the main place in a E.p.L team And let us be honest the English players are far to greedy, take the case of Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott.

But the reason he chose Manchester United is not the weekly salary which Manchester City could pay.The weekly salary was 200,000 pounds. The man who made the difference was the former Manchester United Dutch goalkeeper Edwin Van DerSar who convinced Robin Van Persie to join Manchester United.

ARSENAL FANS HAVE GOOD NEWS.

The Arsenal fans can really have good news now. The club is willing to spend big now. The reason is that Arsenal have now finally paid up for the money it owed , for the building of their brand new Emirates stadium. It is far bigger then their old Highbury stadium, which was far smaller to the Emirates that has a sitting capacity of 60,400. Let me ask the readers how many clubs can do it in these hard times with a few recessions affecting the country as well. The mighty Chelsea have failed to do so,Liverpool and Everton have failed to share a stadium . West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspurs are fighting over the Olympic Stadium. And by the way even with out this big spending , and paying heavy interest Arsenal have reached the Champion league every year for fifteen year in a row. Name a club to do it in the world. Arsenal must be congrajulated for doing it with young players they develop, and big clubs fly like hawks to take their players at huge salaries all inflated.

SAGNA COULD BE REPLACED SOON.

The French right back has so far refused to sign a new contract, and his contract comes to a end soon.So he will have to be sold. Mind you this is the same player who said Arsenal should not sell their players every year. He has also broken his leg twice in one year. Arsene wenger has been looking for a replacement for Sagna has his desire for the club is not there like before, and he is making mistakes as well. Wenger often shops in France, as those players are cheaper then those developed in England. He is now looking at the Ivory Coast born 20 year old defender Serge Aurier, who plays his club football with Toulouse.

FALCAO COULD JOIN P.S.G.

The Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, who plays his club football in Spain with Atletico Madrid, he scored 17 goals in16 games for the club. He had joined Atletico Madrid for a big amount as a replacement for Sergio Aguero , who left for Manchester City for a big price.Falcao came from F.C.Porto. Chelsea was having plans to sell Fernando Torres back to Atletico Madrid, as their patience has run thin with him, and his failure to score many goals.

Not a single footbasller from a club playing his football in Germany, Holland, Italy, England or Portugal made it, all the eleven came from three Spanish clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Ashley Cole is crying and saying he was not in the eleven as he failed to get a Spanish passport.This is not the truth at all. Those playing in the E.P.L just were not good enough to be there.

Lionel Messi broke that record of Gerd Muller of 85 goals in a calender year , that had stood for 40 long years. Gerd Muller had scored those 85 goals in the year 1972.

But Theo walcott was demanding 100,000 pounds as weekly salary..This would make him the highest paid player at Arsenal now, as their highest paid player is Lukas poldoski who gets 90,000 pounds as weekly salary. 23 year old walcott wanted a central position and not a winger as well. If they do agree the five year deal , and keep him till 2017 he will get 25 million pounds in all in those five years.

LUKA MODRIC THE WORST LA LIGA BUY 2012.

Luka Modric the Croatian midfielder and play maker , who was a big success at Tottenham Hotspurs in the E.P.L. He joined Real Madrid for a massive 33 million pounds. But sadly he has failed at Real Madrid in a total of eight games he has scored only one goal. According to a opinion pole in Spain for the worst summer buy in Spain in 2012? The footballer who was voted as the worst buy is Luka Modric, hee you have to see the price for him, 33 million pounds, just one goal and mostly warming the seat.And also collecting a huge weekly salary , puts him as the worst summer buy. But what future does he have? Now Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester city are keen to get him, and Tottenham Hotspur as well. Chelsea are the keenest to buy, as Frank Lampard will leave Chelsea in the summer, he, Luka Modric could fill the bots. Tottenham Hotspurs have told Real Madrid that Gareth Bale will cost them 60 million pounds.

HARRY REDKNAPP GETS A CALL..

Harry Redknapp got a surprise call from one agent of the Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder, who plays his club football in Italy with Inter Milan. As Queen Park rangers are last in the table in the E.P.L.It was a big shock for all. But we must remember that both Arsenal and Chelsea have both rejected him, as he wants 200,000 weekly salary, far to much for a player who is past his glory days and did not play last year. The big question is will Mr Fernandez the owner of Queen Park Rangers afford this type of salary.

THE BIG SHOCK IN THE E.P.L SO FAR.

The biggest shock in the E.p.L so far in the 2012/2013 season was the in the match between Chelsea verses Queen Park Rangers. Chelsea with their billionaire owner and Queen Park Rangers with the rich man from Asia Mr Tony Fernandez. It was a battle between Goliath and David, the top four club and the last club. Chelsea made the mistake of resting Juan Mata and Eden Hazard. The Chelsea old boy Shawn Wright Philip came to haunt them from the bench. He joined Chelsea from Manchester City for 21 million pounds, but failed at Chelsea. He moved to Queen Park Rangers, and will be a hero over night, as he scored the winning goal in the 78 minute. Those three point are priceless for the club and Harry Redknapp.

PLAYERS TO PLAY 500 GAMES IN THE E.P.L..

But he was a big flop in a total of nineteen matches he has scored only one goal. The other player was the Cameroon midfielder Alexander Song , who was playing for Arsenal, his price was less but he was the player to assist Robin Van Persie for most of his goals.But at Barcelona he was playing as a defender.
