No change there then!

Mates of mine did the Anfield tour today. Little insider info said Martinez should be a done deal.

That's what I love about the Euros, any team can put in a good run and have a chance, as we've seen with Denmark and Greece in the last twenty years, and almost with the Czech Republic. Shame Belgium won't be present this summer, because they've got a hell of a team about them.

Not to mention Turkey.

@ King of Monra - Blatter is a total joke. Everything he does is amusing... no technology, Qatar, English hypocrisy etc.

reading what? nevermind found it. it is the sun it is lies. Blatter has called out penalty shootouts to eb gone yes. but not for that reason. for the afrincan cup final outcome. the best team did not win (in either instance to be truthful) and teams 9like italy) play for penalties cos they know they have a better chance. Be done with them

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...he-Germans.html oh blatter , you're such a twat.

thats the sun you plonk. it is true he said he wants penalties scrapped but it is NOT because the english beat the germans for once (like the sun says) the sun jsut took the fact and thewn twisted it to their own needs. cos that headline will get people angry, and papers will fly off the shelves. whereas if they said THE REAL REASON why he wants penalties scrapped then Most people will be uncaring, as many get the sun for sports anyway.

He wants penalties scrapped cos zambia (or Nambia, can't remember which) beat ivory coast in the african cup of nations final. Ivory coast are seen as the best african side and dead certs for that trophy, they played better in the final but the underdogs held out and won on penalties which are just pot luck.

ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THE SUN ARE MORONS I hate blatter, but he is not backing getting rid of penalties cos the englash beat the germans on them. I knew some papers here would say that as ALL media takes a fact then twists in in EXACTLY THIS WAY to sell papers. THAT IS WHY FREE MEDIA IS DETREMENTAL TO THE WORLD IT CREATES HATE AND IGNORANCE. BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS CHALK IT UP TO NATIONALITIES THEY CAUSE RACISM. not so much in this instance but other instances like it.

If you believe the sun then may god have mercy on your soul

First that blonde lass in that video is tidy.

Second. Blatter is a fud and shouldn't be in charge of such an institution as FIFA as he's out of touch and doesn't have a clue about football, I bet he doesn't even know the offside rule.

Third. They already did this back in the 50's and decided that Penalties was the only viable solution, so what's changed in football so much that we need to look at it again.

[Domeux]

There isn't as much luck involved in Penalties as a lot of people think. Still the best way to settle Cup games. Fun too.

PS - we will get you next year (united) - i promise you that

Well if we were hoping for an advert for penalties the League 1 play-off was definitely not it.

Ever heard of a team missing their first 3 penalties and then winning the shoot-out before?

yawn. then they scored 8 in a row - one of the most dramatic shootout I have seen and th fact town missed the first 3 and won means nothing as to whether they are good or not. it is whether the team that were better won or not. like in the african cup the worse team won that shows that shootouts are not ok. but that was a true advert for shootouts where else do you get that kind of drama that kind of rapid change between shaking like a leaf -> elation -> devestation

I went from elation -> shaking like a leaf multiple times in that shootout, when hudds scored elation when united came back by scoring nervy again. 6 times in a row. that was the truest advert for shootouts there can be and the fact you don't think so shows you do not understnad shootouts, do not understand anything about this debate about them and sdo not understand football
for a fan they are hell (if your team is involved) if you are neutral they can be "pointless" but ewhen i am neutral i get some sadistic pleasure from them, when i am a fan of one of the teams... there is not an equivilent in sport for the nerves and drama

Congrats, I'm glad to see Huddersfield come up considering you've got Grayson in charge and Peter Clarke in the side. Plus the Galpharm makes for a decent away trip.
