Feners president got arrested and is on trial for several crimes related to the match fixing, such as money laundering et al. I'd say they are pretty fucked legally. But relying on a judge's head is as stupid as relying on le cheap to spend money

No fans allowed for Saloniki's home match, so Schalke fans don't have to bother about travel arrangements :?

Some good news.
Dirk Kuyt managed to head-butt De Guzman in training and now has one eye completely closed up with stitches. I liked him as a player and I think he was badly treated by the Victims, but we have reason to fear him and if he doesn't play I'll be very happy.


On a separate point: I think Celtic advanced in the Europa cup after their Swiss opponents played an ineligible player.

Looking at one of the photos from that article and there's a photo of Senderos, Clichy, Gallas and Almunia conceding a goal (well they wouldn't exactly be defending properly would they?). Unbelievable that that season is by far the best team we've had since moving.
