Moscow warns visiting fans

they don't want Manchester violence, an unfortunate turn of phrase i think, how about Glasgow violence. That lone policeman that got tripped and laid into by the mob of Rangers fans was one hell of a lucky guy to get out of that

Saha hopes to get anger out of system with cup final chance, i am afraid there would be more than one United fan that has anger issues with him. He surely won't be here next season, mind you i would think i said that last season.

I will be watching the cup final to see if Ramsey the player United have been linked with and every report says is a midfield star in the making is as good as has been suggested. I don't particularly look forward to watching games without United in them but i think it could be a decent game. It all depends on how Cardiff sqaure up to the physical challenge of Pompey i suppose. I saw them beat Middlesbrough and they played quite neat football, but Boro were so bad that day it was hard what to read into that performance.

What a joke this story is, only at City.The club itself didn't expect to be in Europe, yet the manager is going to get sacked because they didn't, comical.

Moyes to have talks with Everton. He has done a brilliant job for the blue half of scouseland it would be more than interesting to see what would happen to them if he did have a bit of wanderlust at some stage.

The BBC is no that great but then again neither is ITV and i have never liked watching TV stations with adverts on them . So i would probably prefer terrestrial football to stay on the Beeb. Then again not having to listen to the statistical windbag that is Motson will be one advantage to having it on ITV suppose. As a kid i was never that fond of David Coleman's commentating, but when you hear it now it was in a different league to most of the commentators now, it has to be admitted. Sometimes more is less, something the present day's hyped up drama queeens could do with learning. They sound more like they are selling an advert that commentating on a game of football. Though there are decent commentators about, but the aforementioned like Motson seem to be the ones who get the best jobs at the moment. It puts me of watching sometimes.
