It could be UEFA cup spots I suppose, the fair play thingy is a joke. I thought everyone was making a big deal of it over here because England had already got the place and therefore City would probably be in Europe. Oh well, I've no idea really.

If the rumoured 5mill plus clauses for a 16 year old is true i'll take it, he'll be sitting in their reserves for the next two years instead of chasing promotion and possibly playing in the Premiership when he could've moved then. Greedy git, Moses is much better anyway...

Dude, I want to apologize in advance for all the actions the Russian fans are about to unleash on Manchester.
I'm sure the Brits will return the favor in Moscow.

Its not the Russians I'm worried about. There's 100,000 angry Scots around - and one of the big screens in the city centre didn't work so there's been some trouble already.

Anyone excited for the FA CUP on Saturday? My friend's favorite team is Cardiff so it's going to be a party!

Yeah near the stadium I think, maybe even inside it. There's already been 6 arrests because of it but I don't know too many details.

Well the busstop outside Manchester University was trashed at 9.00am today, glass everywhere, but when I exited my exam at like 10.15 it had been fixed. Now that's public service.

This is f'ed up. Soccer is a great sport, but some of the fans are psychotic.

Yeah, to be honest I was shocked when I heard it, Scottish fans normally exhibit exemplary behaviour. It's a shame it had to happen.

Well, Serie A is finally over. It was a great final rush!
Now wednesday the Champions League final and after two week the european championship! France and Spain, imo, are the favorites to win the cup, even if the spanish have been well-known chokers in the recent years.

The nerves are already starting to build for Wednesday...

Why? Cause he cried? Heck I'd cry in the situation, it was a poor penalty though. But an awesome game. However, it really messed up my revision schedule by taking an extra hour of my time away. United probably deserved to win it on balance: They were better in the first half and during extra time IMO. Added to that, Cheslea's goal which got them back in the game was a combination of luck and misfortune for United.
