conduct after showing Fulham fans the finger at the end of a frustrating match at Craven Cottage on
the fifth of December. As a result, the striker will serve an immediate one match ban and has also
been levied with a £20,000 fine.

A long, long time ago we tried to start a soccer website; thought we were writers or
something....
It was called "Snorting the Endline" named after Robbie Fowler's infamous goal celebration and one
of our favorites of all-time. That site failed miserably. I mean who would want to read our
ramblings!
Over the last few years, since the takeover of the club, Manchester City fans have had to endure
taunts of 'lacking class and history.' The second taunt is beyond laughable, especially as it
generally came from Spurs fans, who support a club that has won precisely the same number of league
titles as City two.
So here I am, half-disgusted-and-sick-and-tired of these El Clasicos, but also half-nervous and
begging for a miracle tonight. The realist in me tells me that it's game over. But I am overcome
with the desire to dream. Call it the spirit of Juanito, call it the heart of Pipita (Real Madrid's
current Patron Saint for Refusing to Lose).

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has turned up the heat on rival Carlo Ancelotti,
claiming Chelsea have become obsessed with the pursuit of European club football's biggest prize.
The taunt comes ahead of tonight's critical Champions League quarter final second leg clash at Old
Trafford, with United taking a 1 - 0 advantage into the game courtesy of an excellent goal from
Wayne Rooney.
Manchester City's new £27 million man, Edin Dzeko, wasted no time in
ingratiating himself with the club's support yesterday, with less than two minutes of his official
unveiling ceremony gone before the Bosnian target man proclaimed that 'most people from Manchester
are City fans' a premeditated taunt that has seemingly gone down rather well with the blue-hewn
Mancunian population.
