I certainly think Tevez shouldn't have gotten away scott free, but after you've smacked one player in the face you don't then go and floor another. He needs to learn a lesson, and I don't think it's too harsh. The guys an idiot and either he learns a lesson or doesn't play. If you don't want to to the time, then don't do the crime! Simples!

Confuzzzed and Fizzoid,
It's more the media frenzy and the turning a blind eye to the actions of Tevez and Kompany that's P me O.

Bruce; wasn't he in 'Prisoner: Cell Block H' ?

Well that didn't take long. Guardiola has just cancelled his year-long vacation and put himself back on the market.
So, let the bidding wars commence.
Sorry Di Matteo, so close yet so far in the end. At least you'll forever be a legend.

In other news, Darlington already relegated from the Conference on account of their results have been relegated four divisions due to its financial shenanigans.
By my reckoning, they'll be in a division level to my local non-League side Bridlington Town next season. Cripes.

woeful performance put in by sheffield united and huddersfield town. glad the pigs lost. well done... eerrrrr... clumsily done terriers. 🙄
Highlight of the Norway-England match so far for me has been Norway's new socks. They're bloody beautiful.
Columbus 2-1 Chicago
Ah, sweet victory. I actually made it to Columbus for this one, on a beautiful sunny day that topped 90 degrees. A Floggy Molly concert took place in the stadium after the match, and the concert was included with the ticket to the game. We scored two early goals and ultimately held off the Fire despite serious heat-induced fatigue late on. We are finally showing some consistency in offense.
Overall a good result, and I got to see Crew legend (and current Crew "Brand Ambassador") Frankie Hejduk dancing in the crowd and onstage ripping it up with Flogging Molley after the match. He pretty much has the run of the place. four of the band were resplendent in Crew shirts, and we all went out onto the pitch for the concert. It all had a carnival air about it. 🙂

I believe Osama Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan – clearly there's something about London clubs that attract the support of despots, dictators and other ne'er do wells. 😉
In other news, the doors are now open for the MacRumors Fantasy Euro 2012 competition. Sign ye up. 😎
I'm almost disappointed! The derby games are always the highlight of the season. Still, if you're a United fan it's got to hurt you got beaten into second place by your fiercest rivals and then beaten by another local team to end your promotion 😛
he he he.. derby's drove me nuts though. i'll be happy to not have that pressure... for one season anyway. 😛
Stomach ache scuppers English tortoise's Euro dream:

Confession; I enjoyed the Women's FA Cup - shame about Sky's Red Button nonsense.
Sweet FA; no ban for Tevez. 🙄
Edit - ...media whore, please the press in Belgium...:

Authoritarian Rwandan ruler Paul Kagame is a Gooner and it's rumoured Idi Amin was a keen fan of now defunct London non-leaguers Hayes FC.
Cuba's former dictator Fidel Castro bucks the trend though. "One journalist gave him an Arsenal shirt with 'Castro' on the back," said a Cuban diplomat in the Daily Mail. "The trouble is Fidel doesn't like football. And he doesn't like Arsenal."
So Phil Jagielka doesn't make the 23, doesn't spit his dummy out and announce he's retiring from international football if he's not getting regular caps and then is rewarded by a place in the 23.
What happens next, he comes out with comments like this:
He's being far too sensible! Sorry Phil, can't see YOUR England career lasting long 😉

A couple of tournaments down the road? If someone doesn't want to continue to waste their time, fair play.
