Everyone always brings up Real Madrid but you act as if he had a choice to do anything but standby. UEFA has members that have to vote on plans like this. He can’t just intervene mid-transfer window and forbid clubs to not buy players without first implementing a plan and rules and having it approved…. its the bureaucratic practice that all matters like these have to take. So the Madrid argument is a moot point, and they do will be under the scrutiny of the plan

Agree with Septic Tank on this one.

If Platini is truly worried about this on a pan-european scale, how can he possibly sit there and watch Madrid sign Ronaldo, kaka and Benzema when they are half a billion quid in the red.

Oh, of course, they’re Spanish and he likes them. Silly question.

I can hand on heart say that I cannot wait for Adebayor to be banned. Everybody keeps blabbing on about the amount of abuse he received during the match from the arsenal fans? Im sure been a PROFESSIONAL you are supposed to rise to the occasion and show your professionalism. As regards to sparky defending Ade, of course he is going to, But I feel sparky would become more respected as a manager if he came out and said yes ok, it was a maliscious tackle from Adebanor, of which we have giving him a fine from the club. Arsenal seem to have been in the lime light a lot over the past few weeks, and same again, UEFA lifting eduardos ban? RIDICULOUS. If this is the case, will the FA rescind paul scholes red card from the weekend? I dont think so, once a decision is made by any official body it should stand. as for Platini, pffffttt dont get me started on him, waste of space, who hates english football, and is JEALOUS as hell of England because of the potential we rise.

Sadly for you Vince, the CL has, for many seasons, completely revolved around English clubs such has been their success in the latter stages of the compo.

The top Italian and Spanish sides are all in hock, the French and Germans aren’t strong enough and billionaires are flocking to the EPL coz that’s shown in about 250 countries around the world and is the sexiest league about.

Platini hates that and whatever he or you say about the spending plans, there’s not a shred of doubt that his underlying thought is to weaken well-backed English clubs.

cry me a river!

the world has not, will not and does not revolve around English soccer.

the spending rules will be good for the game all around and in no way have anything to do with English teams in the Champions League… a bit high on one’s self are we?

well, like most English glad to see you’ve already got your excuses ready when teams start to crash out of the CL…

Adebayor is going to get caned by the FA.

Good piece Andy – agree with you on Eduardo and ‘contact’. It’s a joke these days…I find it hard to believe that some players can stand up in a strong breeze!
