You've got a lot of experience of explosions and the effects of explosive trauma on humans, physical and psychological?

Account is taken of the guidelines for punishing such offences in isolation, but sentencing also takes into account the offender's previous offences, and rightly so. Also any mitigation. So yes Suarez was given a 10 match ban for what he did in the context of what he's done previously. NOT for who he is ie a "smarmy foreigner". Many may think he's that too, but it's not a part of the sentencing calculations.

The referees errors don't disguise how Barca have faded. Granted, Messi was unfit,but the whole display had a Brazil France 98 feel. End of an era?

That mock up looks like terminal 7 at Heathrow. Dyson Airblades? We've got em in our bogs at home.

All wrong. The sell out crowds are due to women swelling the ranks - they all seem to fancy Pochettino. Watch St Mary's demographic change over the next couple of years and hear the pitch of a goal celebratory roar rise 2 octaves to a shrill moaning sound.

Christ - I assumed the interpreter guy was his boyfriend!

Not sure what you mean by spitting 'in' someone? Their mouth, eye, other orifices? Biting another human is just so primitive and dirty - literally and metaphorically - human bites are guaranteed to get infected if they penetrate, even dog bites aren't!

The guy needs his head examining for psychopathy. I used to quite like Liverpool, for all their European heroics in the glory years. But they, their owners and their mawkish supporters are desperately unattractive nowadays.

Any Arab Emirate Sheiks still yet to buy a trophy club?

Lol. He was vaguely reminiscent of Channon when in full flight. Career ended when he duffed up the ref.

He must be fit by now, 3 months of Staplewood brutality. I guess it's a case of not impressing particularly on the pitch and our 1st team defence having been tremendous since the window.

Reading between the lines, not entirely happy with the performance, apart from the defenders .

People these days don't grasp how massive the FA Cup was in the seventies. The whole country came to a standstill to watch on BBC (and a few on ITV). It was not the Cinderella side-show it is now. So, no keep the Cup. We will get into the Champions League anyway if Cortese keeps on delivering his promises....

To whom is this addressed?

The Ricoh also has amazing acoustics.

I think we could easily install some character at St May's: - put in some period fireplaces, + Chesterfield debenture seating areas - replace industrial spec windows with proper sash wooden ones - free season tickets to several hundred curmudgeonly, cantankerous pensioners - real ale and malt whisky served on concourse bars

He might come on from bench in last couple of games this season?

I went in 93. Marginally less dull than Singapore - hope its improved in the last 20 yrs for your sake

Wtfiln?

What a **** article - the Emirates section has a photo of Highbury, tells you all you need to know about the quality of the journalism. All newly promoted and smaller clubs are at the bottom because they couldn't be bothered to research them properly! Old Trafford hasn't had a decent atmosphere since late 90s. Etihad? Emirates? Just what their criteria are is beyond me. Wigan is utter ****e. St Mary's is not great if we are honest, crowd too far from pitch and no character, almost a dog track could fit around the pitch. They imply it is not even a bowl by saying it has 'standard 4 stands'. I never saw a 5 stand ground!!!!

Certainly a hysterical reaction - just look at the archive footage of Luton-Milwall 1985 for some proper hooliganism. 2013 was a relative picnic. When we played 'wall at the Dell in '78 the game was dull as ditchwater and it was far more entertaining watching the continual skirmishing between saints and 'wall in the Milton, separated by, literally, a thin blue line of coppers. No tv, no press, just get on with it and go home. There's something rather pleasing about a bit of a scrap like the one at Wembley when we live in such a sanitised, risk averse, health and safety obsessed world. Hopefully no one tripped over and hurt themselves on their way out of the ground!

Jesus.

Al Quaeda inspired US based Muslim terrorists - McVeigh nutters wouldn't target Boston Marathon.

'Wall are steeped in the tradition of violence and are drawn from what was originally a Bermondsey/Rotherhithe/Deptford criminal and prison fodder sub-culture going back many generations, a couple of hundred years at least. Now they are mostly moved out to Bexleyheath, Chiselhurst, Erith and into Kent. Far prefer that in many ways to the bankers and their lawyer wives, alongside the tourists that make up Chelsea and Arsenal's home support these days.

Why do people expect to be able to drive and park directly outside the ground and get away promptly? Park strategically well away but near to your exit motorway, and walk to the ground, via the pub or a restaurant. On capacity: no point in half-measures, in for a penny in for a pound. 100,000 to trump Old Trafford even of they extend their top tier all the way round.
