blinkin'ek 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yes just saw that The Fifa president Sepp Blatter made the startling disclosure yesterday that he could not rule out a rerun of the voting for the right to host the 2022 World Cup finals which was controversially won by the tiny Arab emirate of Qatar in December. Blatter, who is seeking re-election next month for a fourth term, said that a Fifa inquiry into claims made by The Sunday Times that there was corruption in the vote could lead to the Fifa executive committee (ExCo) voting again. It would represent the biggest U-turn in the governing body's history. ---- Both FA and FIFA are just unimaginably hopeless. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Tevez, who lifted the FA Cup for City on Saturday, told Radio Del Plata: "I want to leave Manchester City. Football has changed a lot for me and I don't know if I will even make it to the next World Cup. And that has nothing to do with whether I'm selected or not. "I've been treated very well here and I'm grateful. I also gave my everything for the club to receive the results it has had. But I need a change of scene." Tevez handed in a transfer request in January, but boss Roberto Mancini had hoped the striker would stay following City's qualification for the Champions League. However, it seems Tevez remains unhappy with life at Eastlands. "To go back to Boca Juniors would be beautiful but it is very difficult," he added. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Bloody stupid time. Is the US market even that significant for the Champions League? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Curious time for sure. They should have had it in the afternoon so the Asian markets can see if they were going to adjust at all. Surely they are bigger markets than the US? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Maybe for the South American market?? I doubt it though, again the Asian market for European teams is much bigger than the Sth American penchant for following european teams. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Nervous about tonight. We need a win. Don't forget footie fans, cancel that footie package on sky for June/July/Ausust. Unless you want to waste money of course, or watch repeats of Stoke vs West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 We could even win our game and be relegated. Or on the other hand we could lose our game and survive - if Blackpool and Birmingham both lose by goal margins two greater than us. So come on Wigan and United! Link to post Share on other sites
