Thanks for the link Pinky, that was an interesting article.
I have to say that I agree with him. AW really said much the same in his press conference afterwards

I've seen the incident a lot and I don't think he was diving, I thought you would enjoy that article.
The thing is that I am the first to criticise players for diving etc but from where I was sitting at the Emirates that night it looked like a penalty.
But regardless there is so much wrong with UEFAS decision about this.
We all know it's motivated by hatred of English clubs - Blatter and Platini just can't help themselves.
And the rules of the game are that if a referee sees and deals with an incident then that is that so how can they decide this without a corresponding change in the rules?

Blatter and Platini are a joke IMO, they would like any excuse to get British clubs out of UEFA

I don't have much time for either of them but I think they are spot on about finances in the English game, In saying that Platini was a superb player.

Platini was a superb player, no arguement there! I did read a very interesting article somewhere, will try to remember and find link, saying if the finances were regulated, then it would leave clubs like Wolves, Stoke and us in the top half of the PL and how Sky and FIFA could never let this happen because of the overseas revenue they would lose and the armchair support in this country as well.
The big 4 won't be touch IMO, they are worldwide brands and basically put bums on seats, regardless of what Blatter and Platini think, it is the clubs just below the big 4 that will suffer, IMO.
I think that there will be a PL club go into administration before much longer, and what happens to clubs when the owner/chairman loses interest like as is happening at Birmingham City? Who knows what will happen to them, if Sullivan and the Golds are going as has been reported, they are supposed to be now taking an interest in Brighton.
I'm just glad our chairman is a man who will drive a hard bargain, although I hope one day we can stop being a yo-yo club!

LOL it is a mess over there - I can't find a bleeding thing. But if they are moving the forum over there as it stands then it should be a lot more familiar.
I'm not keen on the layout I've seen over there - this is so user friendly that I can't understand why they wouldn't just import this layout for us to use over there

Moin footie fans
xxMy avatar is an actor called Leslie Phillips. You may know him as the voice of the Siamese/Burmese cat on the IAMS Cat food advert.
Certain of the Forum ladies thought that I was a tad like him.
Am I the only one taking an interest today then?

Yep!
Hopefully no injuries.
I hope that Brazil finish Argentina off too.
Not that I like Brazil, but the idea of just one of 'em being in SA next year suits me.

What? Surely not!
The only time I like it is when they play Germany and it ends up in fisticuffs. IMO the Germany v Argentina final was the most entertaining of all time, yet the one the authorities would rather you forgot about.
