Patrice Evra will be on the receiving end of some abuse today but I'd like to think it won't be racist abuse. Maybe I'm naive and I'm probably giving the vermin too much credit but I genuinely hope that Liverpool fans don't turn their dislike of Evra, having been lead to believe that he's a liar by the ridiculous propaganda from their club, in to something far more sinister.

Why Liverpool have stopped fighting the Suarez verdict but not the way it was reached

It is the most controversial case ever to come before the FA, and certainly one with more mud-slinging than any in modern football history. But on Wednesday, after months of accusation and counter-accusation, of claims of conspiracy and contempt, Liverpool finally offered a hint of a conciliatory tone amid the outrage of the racism row that has reverberated around the world.

New regime, but controversy still reigns at Anfield My year with Liverpool, by David Maddock

Life for Liverpool in 2011 began with embattled bitterness, a siege mentality and a sense of conspiracy...and ended that way too. With Roy Hodgson becoming increasingly isolated as he railed against the dark forces he felt were plotting against him, it seemed inevitable he would go, after a disastrous Christmas haul of four points from 18.

Once again, the giant globe-spanning Illuminati conspiracy established to keep Liverpool from 'having their year' has come into effect and has demanded that the FA ban the club's most effective player this season for the next eight games and fined a week's wages just for openly and admittedly calling a black man a 'negro' a few times during a game of football.

I can explain. This morning, I went to the official UEFA website to look at their stream for the draw, but my desire to view this tasteful spectacle was dashed against the flying rocks from James Cameron's political science fiction blockbuster Avatar (That was an enjoyable figure of speech, regardless of relevance.

The news that Wayne Rooney's father and uncle Richie were arrested today over allegations of a football betting scam has to have set off alarm bells at Old Trafford as well as the English FA.

The arrests were in relation to a game between Motherwell and Hearts in December last year in which Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings was arrested after allegedly getting himself sent off deliberately during the match.

Jamie Carragher has been talking.

What's cool is that someone actually understood him, enough to translate his mumbling into prose. Even cooler, he's managed to make himself look even more daft than usual.

Jamie was apparently in the midst of a rant toward the FA regarding home-grown managers.

Lost in translation 1. The Boss told me to pay no attention to the price tag. 2. The Boss told me I could do with developing sticky fingers. 3. I assumed Phil Jones would settle it for me. 4. The Boss says I didn't do it and there's a media conspiracy against me. 5. I [...]

If Owen Coyle is God, what does that make Wenger?

Kenny Dalglish seeing red over referees' 'contentious decisions'

• Liverpool manager vents rage after penalty decision • Club owners to be consulted before complaint is made Kenny Dalglish vented his fury at the standard of Premier League refereeing after his Liverpool team lost 1–0 at Stoke City.

Frankly we got away with it: it could easily have been 8 on both sides of the north London divide. By the time Spurs found a little of the good stuff, City had made and missed three good chances. More opportunities came their way as the game progressed and they eagerly sliced through our toiling, bewildered defence.

There is an iconic, incest revealing scene in which Nicholson is trying to determine Dunaway's relationship to this girl. He keeps slapping her and with each slap she switches from "my sister" to "my daughter.

There appears to be something of a debate about what portents the Newcastle game holds for the season ahead.

Those choosing to see the positives were encouraged by a defence so impregnable that not even John Terry's mighty and unruly member could hope to penetrate it.

Others, seeing the negatives, despaired of an attack so bereft of creativity that if it were a painting it wouldn't even get a place on the wall in Tony Hart's Vision On, as the camera pans quickly past the offerings in this week's "crap our viewers sent us" section.

Sell me some soup, you poor bastard.

I'm really excited about the EPL starting. I'm out of town, and I won't be able to see any of the games live, but I've set my DVR and I'm sure no one will text or tweet or email about results. When I get back home on Sunday night I'll just sit on my couch and watch kickoff as if it was only just happening at that moment.

By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Jul 12, 2011) US Soccer Players -- While we're distracted by the logistics of a tournament that won't happen until 2022, there are those still concerned with how Qatar managed to go from relative unknown to World Cup host in a matter of months. It's a good question, one that has already had multiple theories – conspiracy and otherwise – grafted on.

Real Madrid have appealed against the five-match touchline ban imposed on Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho,you will remember,was unhappy at the red card shown to Real midfielder Pepe, and afterwards claimed there was a refereeing conspiracy in favour of Barcelona.
n the video below Spanish journalist Tomás Roncero gives a moving demonstration of how Dani Alves managed to get Pepe sent off.

Maybe that crazy old dude was right about the apocalypse. Look:Spurs make it to the CL Semis,Barca defeats Man U handidly in the CL Finals,bin Hammam drops out of the FIFA Presidency election,and then this...Jack Warner provisionally suspended from FIFA.What?!And one of the best parts? A Blatter says that Warner knew about the bribes and Warner says its a conspiracy by America.

UEFA has suspended Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho for five games and fined him $72,000 for his ejection during the Champions League semifinal, first leg against Barcelona and his subsequent comments alleging a conspiracy to support his club's archrival.
UEFA objected to Mourinho's suggestion that the governing body supported his opponents when the Portuguese boss said, "It's clear that against Barcelona you have no chance.

The tournament formerly known as the European Cup used to be limited to only one team per country. Prior to the mid-90s, it actually was a competition for champions only (imagine that), along with the title holders.
1997-98 was the first tournament to include teams that didn't win their domestic championships, and Manchester United was the first team to win who wouldn't have qualified under the old standard.

"If Barcelona win the Champions League it will be with the Bernabéu scandal."

The man who loves to talk. Following Real Madrid's 2-0 Champions League home defeat to eternal rivals FC Barcelona, where Jose Mourinho was sent off in the second half, once more entertained the world of football with a raging and highly controversial post-match press conference.

The escalating feud between Real Madrid and Barcelona erupted into a bitter war of words on Thursday night after Uefa charged both clubs over their conduct in Wednesday's ill-tempered Champions League semi-final.
In the wake of one of the most acrimonious encounters between the two sides, Madrid urged Uefa to charge Barcelona over what they perceive as diving to con the referee at the Bernabéu, while their arch rivals said they would formally report José Mourinho over his claim that there is a conspiracy to favour the Catalan club.
