you make it sound so one-sided... do you not think that some of the French players also give out verbals? Wasn't Henry's diving cheating? Or Malouda going down at the hint of a touch in the final? All Materazzi did was say something unpleasant... bloody hell, a player of ZZ's experience and stature should be able to handle that... the fact that he didn't, on the biggest international stage of them all, meant that mentally he wasn't up to the mark (on that night, in that game). If you're in a world cup final then you should be there to win it, using whatever means possible.

To be fair, he's quite forgettable nowadays

I'm in Verona at the moment. I've just got a colleague to translate the headlines from Gazetto Dello Sport. The official announcement will be made at 7pm Italian time today. It is expected that Juve, Lazio and Fiorentina will be relegated to serie b. Lazio and Fiorentina will get a points deduction of 6-7 points, this will be less severe than Juve's points deduction. Milan will remain in serie a (my colleague smells a deal has been done by Berlusconi....) but will not participate in the CL.

When does Zidane pick up the Golden Forehead? That was the best headbutt on a footy pitch ever, and it was on a blues**** b*****d. Respect to ZZ.

malcolm macdonald? Now that would be a story

Is there a finer, more heart-warming sight in world footy than a bemused Barthez?

It's an excellent signing if it comes off. he might be a c***. but he'd be our c***, and he's a quick and skillful player.

Great performance by Spain... has the air of world cups past this one.. AntM puts a bet on Spain to win before the tournament starts, Spain get out of the group phase easily, snotting a few teams on the way, and then el collapso...

When we got beat by Peterborough in the league cup, he was subbed and got booed off the pitch. Tablett got a lot of stick at the time I thought. So much so that I thought he'd gone on record saying that he felt more of an Evertonian nowadays???
