man utd could still play in champions league FIFA and president Sepp Blatter have opened up the outside possibility of Manchester United being reinstated in the Champions League knockout stages writes KEIR RADNEDGE. United apparently lost hope and were ‘relegated’ into the Europa League – in which they face Ajax Amsterdam in the second round in the spring – after losing their last group match 2-1 to FC Basel in Switzerland 10 days ago. Basel thus finshed as runners-up in Group C behind Benfica and, yesterday, were drawn against Bayern Munich in the second round in February and March. However, in the early hours of this morning FIFA announced that it would suspend Switzerland from all international football – which would, logically, include the European club competitions – unless it brought the rebellious FC Sion club to heel. Sion president Christian Constantin has been fighting through the sports and civil courts against FIFA, UEFA and the Swiss football authorities over the fall-out from a transfer ban wrangle with the world federation. On Thursday the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected Sion’s plea that UEFA should reinstate the club in the Europa League from which it was expelled last August. Sion’s legal advisers have indicated the club’s intention of carrying on with an appeal to the Swiss federal court which need not be registered until later next month. A FIFA statement, after today’s executive committee meeting Tokyo, said: “Following the latest developments in the FC Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA (OLA) case, and in particular the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport of 15 December 2011, the Executive decided to give a final deadline of 13 January 2012 to the Swiss FA to enforce the registration ban imposed on OLA by the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber and confirmed by the Swiss Federal Court and to sanction the attitude of the club repeatedly trying to circumvent this decision in a legally abusive manner. “As a consequence, all matches in which the relevant players participated shall be declared forfeit or three points shall be deducted respectively. Should this deadline not be respected, the Swiss FA will be automatically suspended from 14 January 2012 onwards.” Given the warlike and nothing-more-to-lose stance of Constantin, it seems likely only that FIFA’s threat will harden attitudes in Sion. This would then trigger a domino effect of Switzerland’s suspension from all international football, Basel being barred from the Champions League and, logically it would appear, United’s reinstatement in the Champions League. Comments are awaited from FIFA and UEFA.

He said yesterday that he never complains about officials, i beg to differ “I never criticise referees. I never go in there afterwards and say the referee cost us a game. They all moan about referees, these managers. I don’t ever do it," said the Tottenham manager. Never say never? "I just question the referee’s overall performance which I thought was inept. Every game I see this season has seven or eight bookings. I think it’s frightening." On Andy D’Urso’s performance at Wolves in February 2008 "I never walk in after games and complain about a referee but this guy is scary. He’s a poor referee and I’ve seen him make a mess of so many games. He’s really not good enough." On Steve Tanner’s display in a 2-0 defeat at West Brom in December 2008 "He’s got a hand on the ball – it was a terrible decision. It was a gift that United didn’t deserve and it put them back in the game. Without that bit of help from the ref, I don’t think United would have come back." On Howard Webb, for giving Manchester United a controversial penalty at Old Trafford in April 2009 "Lying Tax diving clearing in the woods" WalesAvfc December 2011

this is prob the first time ever i wanted Chelsea to win a game

maybe a little off topic but am glad to see that when Heskey has come on for last 2 games, villa fans gave him a really good reception. There as been times when he has got very mixed ones

Seth Mitchell vs Timur Ibragimov should be worth the watch too though

murphy 22-1, any1 had that bet ? his eye starting to look a mess though

i did search and didnt find the boxing thread, if mods want to delete or merge then

any 1 watching the boxing ? Ashley Theophane v Ben Murphy on atm, looks like Murphy gonna win, 6 rounds gone and he well ahead imo. Theophane 1-22 fav too, woulda been a nice bet

On another subject, how many villa parents allow thier kids to become unwashed ? not friking many i bet. just because as a villa fan you know when your kid is ready to go the villa and once they have been to Villa park we have them for life. The majority of blouses are stay at home come out of woodwork after a promotion for a month etc but don`t take kids to see "Thier team" The kids drift off to support man u arsenal whoever is top of league cos they are embarrassed by the blouses.

Nah it aint, Am from redditch is mostly Villa dominated with a sprinkling of blouses, and every1 of them was a utd,baggies etc fan until they heard of LuLu`s in the 80`s and thought they would be one of the tough guys... who never go btw unless they can get a ticket to some auto daf trophey final. there are some utd/liverpool fans, usually siblings of the said unwashed who never took thier kids to see any football.

i remember villa away v man utd, first time we played them since Colin Gibson signed for them...... wasn`t nice seeing Colin stretchered off

People said that in 1994 and 2002, tell me how did Ireland do then? Because those groups were even remotely close to this one in terms of difficulty? 94 was usa wc and we didnt qualify my bad missread, you did Eng didnt

grp b is a beast though

Grp a is weak

finally draw about to start

I Liked Oneal while here, but hated some of his tactics, or more to the point is lack of being able to make a change during a game, every fan could see it was needed but he couldn`t, he then got booed or ironic cheering when he eventually made the usual as expected sub, he was a great motivator of his 13-14 regulars, he didnt have a clue how to deal with the fringe players and motivate them. I can see tears down the line for sunderland fans though. If Mon wants a step down in clubs and funds that is and joins them

whats mine worth not alot is a corsa.... very cheap to run but now has a noisy bearing, is a crack in the cat and because of that it keeps cutting out cann`t afford to fix it.......... will still be at the game saturday though . any offers ?

for people moaning about heskeys roll in team this is a quote from swansea forum " Emile Heskey did a hell of a job man-marking Britton, now that he's off we've come into it more. Villa have been filthy, Herd with another nasty tackle on Dyer, his 4th foul if I'm counting correctly, and no booking. How they've still got 11 men I don't know."

glad you thought was good, got that to watch later

While your in Swansea you have to go to Rossi`s Fish and Chip shop on Neath rd right next to liberty stadium, Is best cod and chips you will have anywhere. they allso do all the fashionable fish too for the posh among you, like monk fish, trout etc etc, but at normal working mans prices
