Platini has some great ideas, basically he wants to wrest control from the G14 and get back to UEFA. He wants to: 1. Bring in salary caps. 2. Quots on foreign players. 3. Reduce no of clubs from major leagues competing in the Champions League. 4. Increase teams in the European Championships. Lets fa...

Werent they black banned by the refs?

Well by hosting the World Cup in 2018 will be only way they will guarantee a world cup spot.

The decline of the England team will be complete by then, so at least they will get to play in one world cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am Aussie Owl Down Under.

Long suffering but loyal, not like all the new Chelsea supporters who have jumped on board in the last few years!!!!!!!!!

English players in the Premiership are overpriced, Young is a classic example is not even a full international and Villa have splashed out as huge sum.

Ronaldo at the moment.

I think a non English Premierhsip all stars would beat England.

The greatest player of all time miles ahead of Becks as a players. In terms of marketing time will tell.

Any news on the make up the saturday comps for this season?

Who is back up at left bacj for Liverpool?

Are Chelsea imploding. The owner and the coach not seeing eye to eye.Lets hope they follow the Hearts path!!!

It seems to me with some of those and other flops, the money would have been better spent on ugrading and restructuring junior programs. The EPL is awash with tv money and a lot of it wasted on ordinary players from overseas. I have no problem with buying star players such as Ronaldo and Henry. Howe...

As Pink Floyd said in money " Think I will buy me a football team", thats what the mega rich have done, hence the problems !!!

Looks like another team heading into saturday comp, soon it will be bigger than sunday. Lets hope enough refs to cover all the new games.

In extra time open the game up by moving off side line towards goals say 25 metres.

With tired legs and open field, would get more goals.

Why leave a doomed club to one that might follow.

I agree more and more players will drift into the saturday competition.

Younger players want to play saturday afternoon then go clubbing on saturday night.

For older players gives them an extra day to recover before work.

Refs cannot win in the SAASL, either they are seen as too strict or too leniant depending on which side cops the rough decision. At the end of the day your better off with the refs you have got rather than a club offical. If something isnt done ,it wont be long before div one matches will be referee...

Not woth 5 million, still at least he will get more starts.

What a waste of money, I know it gives exposure to their league, but surely better, cheaper and more long promotion available for MSL.

Lets hope so.

It is time to seriously look at this cup in 2006, with the advent of the Champions League it is the clear the top EPL clubs no longer want to be part of it. After it only adds a further fixture burden to these clubs. Personally I would scrap it all together, as other than a UEFA Cup place it serves ...

Generally FA Cup attendances were below those the EPL and Championship. The reason I think would be simple, money. With the cost of league games so high, fans simply cannot afford to go. There needs to be salary caps cause players earning 60,000 and more pw is obscene. I would love to know how much ...

Benitiz has certainly purchased some lemons.

Lets hope he runs a club better then he coached.

Well Dudek was as bad as ever.

Sell him, bring in Carson from loan and give him Number one jersey.

I am not a Liverpool fan, but I think the League Cup is a waste of time and only adds to the heavy schedule in England.

Maybe remove Euro qualification and make it an under 21 cup with four over age players for Premier League Clubs.

Throwing extra money will not increase the number of refs in the SAASL, the reason numbers have dropped through the years is due to the behaviour of players,coaches,officials and spectators. If respect had been shown to referees recruitment and retention of referees would have occured. The lack of r...

United wont let him go!!!

Might not have been spanked but they laboured for a long time.

Dudek should be shipped out, Carson should be the next number one.
