Speaking of which, Platini wants to reduce the # of CL spots allocated to England~ I wonder if that'll fly

He wants to reduce all the leagues that have have 4 places to 3 ( England, Spain and Italy the Germans have 2 places and a qualifier berth), to allow for smaller market clubs to get in on the action. I was all for this when they allowed the teams 4 places in the first place. Way back when it was the European Cup it was only one place for each league and one place for the Cup-Winner's Cup.

I think it should go back the old way and then have a qualifying round for all the other places in the tournament. The last Champions should get automatic re-entry too but they don't allow that.

Barca awaiting explanation from Eto'o after sub snub

MADRID, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard was prepared to wait for an explanation from striker Samuel Eto'o, after the Cameroon international refused to come on as a late substitute in Sunday's Primera Liga match.

Barca were beating Racing Santander 2-0 in the Nou Camp thanks to goals from Ronaldinho but Eto'o, who is returning from four months out with a knee injury, said he did not want to play the last few minutes.

"Eto'o warmed up but afterwards told my assistant he did not want to come on. It's a shame but I haven't been able to speak to him to find out the reasons," Rijkaard told the news conference after the game.

Later on Sunday, Rijkaard told radio station Cadena Ser: "It is best to sleep on it. I have to hear his side and we'll probably speak on Monday."

Barca president Joan Laporta told reporters: "Samuel has suffered for four months and needs to be playing and scoring goals. We have to stand by him. Rijkaard is an expert in these situations and knows how to handle them."

Eto'o made his return from injury in the goalless draw away to Osasuna on Feb 4, coming on to play the last five minutes as a substitute

Hearts owner goes nutty— first he arranged for the media to be handed bananas and nuts before Hearts' clash with St Mirren and then went on to release the following statement:

Dear Monkeys,

'Today I will not be showing your portrait to you. It is pointless. You are one step away from becoming human beings.

'Go and carefully have a look at yourself in the mirror. Don't you see a human in it?

'Stop fighting for the values which the ex-captain of Hearts was fighting for.

'Education and truthful information - that should be your input to humankind.

'Your leader Mowgli is not taking bananas any more, now he is taking money for lies and untruthful interpretation. However he is greedy and makes you collect rotten information from cesspits and poisons readers with it.

'This is unworthy even of a monkey.

'Today I will express my opinion in English about refereeing in order that your Mowgli will not make you tell lies.

'To discuss whether referees take money or not is the same as discussing a woman who gives herself with no love.

'Isn't it better to concentrate on the standard of their work instead of looking for reasons for their poor performance?

'A woman cheats herself and nature if she gives herself without love. If a referee officiates a game based on his personal love, he commits a cynical crime, especially when the public has trusted him.

'I respect those referees who take money from two stupid teams and then honestly officiates a game. They do not harm football in any way. Though it is bad, still everybody is equal for them. Perhaps that is the reason why football in Italy will never die despite all the scandals that continuously shake it.

'I think that is much better than being the champions for 40 years while building up the same system for further 40 years.

'Now it has become obvious to me why you, the Monkeys, were trying to ruin Hearts not only in the Championship, but in European competitions as well. I think it was not without your help that the 'frozen' referee from Russia was selected to officiate our match and that in the games against the Greek side we got three red cards.

'It is not without your help that traitors were presented as heroes thus showing the road to children for betrayal.

'You will always call teachers silly because unlike you they lead children along the correct path.

'Protecting your values in that way just spoils not only football, but also a Scotsman's proud name.

'I beg you Mowgli, take the monkeys back to the Safari Park!'

Vladimir Romanov

Personally I think he should be elected as President of FIFA
