    hope it isnt true..cos Finnan for me has been our best player this season..doesnt need this to tarnish his great season

    I feel the same way. Last season I thought Finnan was pretty ordinary and hoped that we would sign a new right back (josemi clearly wasn't the answer) but this year I have to admit I was wrong about him - he's been close to our most consistent player. His crossing has improved greatly.

    It would be a damn shame to find out that he made rascist slurs. Does calling someone a filthy manc count as rascist?

    It was on the front page of all the papers today that Liverpool hired expert lip readers... cos apparently TWO deaf people reported it seperately but they both reported that he said completely different things... anyway the expert said there's absolutely nothing to suggest he said anything racist.

    I hadn't heard that. imo it would be very difficult to establish what was said without input from the players - regardless of the experts they hire. If the ref didn't have it in his report, Evra didn't complain and no sound was captured then I think this will go away.

    Besides, an Irishman would prolly be more likely to slag off an Englishman than a frenchman.

    Well it said in the paper exactly what both deaf fans said was said - and they're both almost completely different, apart from being racist. And yeh, he's more likely to slag an Englishman... And Finnan? He's one of the quiet men of football anyway.

    Scared of Finnan? Doubtful. I'd say there was just nothing said and that's why he didn't say anything.

    No, I don't know him. Of course Liverpool want to keep it quiet but at least they HAVE investigated. ManU have said nothing so there must be nothing to say.

    great..cos i doubt Steve would say such things
    hope he recovers from his neck injury very soon too...very bad timing cos suddenly it looks like everyone's heading for the treatment room at Liverpool.
    With Kromkamp cup tied for the Champions League as well...we are really lacking right sided players.
    hopefully Finnan will be back for the Charlton game..then Kromkamp can continue at right wing and Stevie back in central midfield where he should be

    everything is looking great for the Azzurri (even their kits are really good for the World Cup!)
    my fear is Italy has too many individual players who just cannot play as a team.

    Germany is always good on tournaments. And yes they were very poor yesterday. But look at the Confederations Cup, they played very well at that tournament.

    they blow very hot and cold at tournaments.....they were really poor in Euro 2000 and 2004 but played well at the World Cup 2002...its hard to predict which Germany we will see.
    i hope they at least make the last four

    Nah, they seem to be getting it together the past few months - let's hope they KEEP it together when it matters. They've been pretty much unbeatable though.

    Fuck, Guus Hiddink is gonna leave PSV at the end of the season. His new job will be a full-time job of the Russian federation.

    This is a big disaster for PSV. Hiddink is a fantastic coach. And also players like Cocu and Ooijer said that they gonna leave PSV if Hiddink leave PSV. I hope this rumour isn't true.

    wow that's news to me...Hiddink leaving will be a huge blow for PSV
    he commands alot of respect and that helps some of the better players to join PSV

    an update on Finnan

    Liverpool star Steve Finnan has rejected claims he racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

    The incident arose after two deaf television viewers lodged separate complaints with the police after lip-reading comments by the Finnan towards Evra during Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford.

    Finnan was shocked by the claims and has denied making any such comments towards Evra.

    "I was astonished when I heard of the accusations and I categorically deny them," said Finnan.

    "It was disappointing to read the stories in the press. To suggest I would use racist language is very hurtful.

    "I don't really feel I should have to come out and say I didn't say this or I didn't say that, but because of what has been said and written I think it's important I do respond and set the record straight.

    "I didn't say what has been alleged. It's all lies."
