RANGERS VIOLENCE BEGAN IN LATE 17TH CENTURY, SAYS UEFA THE violence at the Uefa Cup final began much earlier than was thought, probably in the late 17th century, officials said last night. Uefa said the ring-leaders included King William of Orange and his horseA Uefa investigation has revealed last month's violent scenes in Manchester were directly related to tensions arising from the Battle of the Boyne, which took place near the east coast of Ireland in 1690. It is now believed the conflict was sparked not by a faulty big-screen television, but by a series of marginal differences over the correct method of worshipping Jesus. Uefa said the violence then continued on and off for another 180 years until it was formalised with the establishment of Rangers Football Club in 1872. Jean-Marie Le Blanc, Uefa's head of riots, said: "The violence in Manchester has deep, complex and incredibly stupid roots. "It seems to based on an entrenched hostility towards Papal doctrine and an insatiable lust for the blood of 'fenians'." He added: "If we want to prevent this kind of violence we must establish a single, agreed method for the worship of Jesus across the continent of Europe. "Oh yeah, and booze - don't give them any booze."

The £48m they're talking about is laughable...I know SWP cost £24m but twice as good ??

It'll definitely be more reined in under Scolari than Grant. To me you have to accept his attitude, too much control, and you lose the creativity. All top artists are tempermental, and he, as with players like Eto, Gazza doesnt hide it. Its just part of their make up. Can be frustrating for the fans but thats the price. Osgood was a lazy cunt sometimes, strolling around -one game against Sheff Weds he sat and chatted to fans... The money side of it is driven, as always, by the agent.

Loads of fans said that about Drogba and Ballack first season - Scolari might be able to get the old Sheva goal hunting again...or you could be right, and Abramovich has had a word with Scolari about keeping his mate on.

Its mercenary, but no more than any other players agents stance. 99% of players go somewhere else if its more lucrative. Not nice for the fans, but thats the reality of the modern game.

Think thats just his agent saying 'Last 10 days of Sale' like DFS do, in the light of no firm offers coming in. Strongly believe the Chels hierarchy want him to stay , and a prohibitive price tag will mean he stays...

Hes got quite a way to go yet I would say. Given his chance by none other than Ray Lewington btw. Robinho is in a different category at the moment...

Completes the trio of average to crap freebies bought by Mourinho in a money-free temper tantrum. Useless, and after that clumsy challenge on Cech.....

Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim is set to accept an offer to move to Manchester City in a £5million deal - and will make a decision in the next 48 hours. Israel international Ben Haim has suffered a nightmare at Stamford Bridge, where new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has told the 26-year-old he is free to go... Daily Mirror Good News

I would think thats probably the case. I suppose theres not a lot going on with the transfer market in terms of definites, so rumours are flying about as per usual. A few outs, Bosingwa -signed managerless ? and Deco....

They were saying Robinho had expressed publicly a desire to move to SW 6 and play under Big Phil. How much of this is media generated, and how much is due to Madrid being prepared to use Robinho as a bargaining chip for Riverdance Ronaldo, is open to speculation...

SSN seem to think it's a definite -not that means anything. I'd prefer him to Anelka, who seems to be along for the ride , and cant see him improving -plus looked decidedly unfit in CL final.

Voted No as well. We'd be in a hell of a state if every players move was for free.

Hes not travelling on the tour, and is reportedly (Telegraph and various) going to Pompey for the same as what we paid for him £7m. Also going the same way (same sources) is SWP for £10 m. I dont like this-especially Bridge going -ok only 70 odd games in 5 years but would like him to stay. This is dealings between Gaydemark and Abramovich -2 Israeli /Jewish oligarchs methinks, with the middle men cut out.

Its a disgrace-First Avram, then Sidwell, and now Pizarro -who's next for christs sake ? BendOver Haim ??? Scolari Out Demonstration outside the Shed Bar needs to be organised immediately.

BERG, Germany (AP) -Germany captain Michael Ballack married his longtime girlfriend in Bavaria on Monday. The 31-year-old Ballack married Simone Lambe at Schloss Kempfenhausen, a country house in Berg, southwest of Munich. Mayor Rupert Monn officiated at the ceremony, Monn's office said. Ballack met Lambe during his time at Kaiserslautern. The couple already have three children - Louis, Emilio and Jordi. The Chelsea midfielder announced before the European Championship that they planned to get married. Sports Illustrated

Exactly, it's been on the cards -never achieved his potential -in fact when he came he said something along the lines of ''Don't expect many goals from me''

Chelsea striker Claudio Pizarro could be set for a move to French side Paris St Germain. Reports suggest that out-of-favor Pizarro is now a target for PSG coach Paul Le Guen after he gave up on his pursuit of Claude Makelele. The Peruvian striker arrived at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer from Bayern Munich 12 months ago. He has scored only two goals in his stay at the London club, both against Birmingham. New Blues manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is unlikely to require the services of Pizarro, and is reportedly planning to bring a number of new faces to Chelsea, including Real Madrid's Robinho and Inter Milan's Adriano.

Like a knife through butter Aroop -you're more than likely spot on. Again.

His agent says a job offer has come in http://jadehwang.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/mcdonalds.jpg

Useless fucker but a top fraudster. Reamed the club for millions pretending to be a manager -probably lying on a sunbed by the Red Sea, tanning his fat arse back in Israel, sipping on an umbrellered cocktail of his wifes piss.... but still a miserable fuck as ever.

He'd earn more than the £140 000 a week at LA Wankers, New York Twats or Dubai Dubstars when hes 34, ala Beckham. The reality is, I feel, hes been tapped up/fallen in love with Jose. If a player says they want a transfer they forfeit a large slice of their contract money, which is why hes saying (or rather his agent is), that he wants to stay.

Thought you were on about what your missus had done to you for a minute there. Well a drug cheat multi millionaire kicking women shouldnt be allowed to get away with it by just buying her a bunch of flowers. If this was in the US there'd be a multi million dollar lawsuit at his feet. Not saying thats what should happen , but he should be made to pay for his childish tantrum, and United for failing to control the rubber lipped 'plug' lookalike.
