So Keane's career ending tackle on Alf Inge Haland gets 8 games in total , you think a little bite deserves 10?

Ben Thatcher elbowed Pedro Mendes which knocked him out and which led him to take a seizure on the pitch gets a 6 game ban

You must not watch much football if you think that

watch football and supported arsenal all my life don't know why I have to explain this to you.
what about you are you only 15 years old or something.
what suarez did was his own fault and it was a assault on a man and the F.A got his 10 match ban right.
I respect you more as a serious Liverpool fan if you can accept what he did.

I've been to more matches than you have had hot dinners

What he did was wrong but if a career ending tackle is 8 games knocking someone out which makes them have a seizure on the pitch is 6 games then Suarez should be no more than 4 games

This is the same FA that appealed Rooney's 3 match ban when he got sent of in the euro qualifiers

What player's like keane and thatcher did was wrong anyone can see that.
The F.A got it wrong at the time with them player's but in this case they got it right with suarez.

Another Spanish giant (Madrid) was dominated by another great German team (Dortmund). Lewandowski with 4 goals in this one for Dortmund. All I can say is Wow!

Looks like it'll be an all German final in the CL this year. Awesome.

That's added a few € to his transfer fee....another great performance from a German side.
Seem's the power in European football is shifting.

You can say that again. Performances like these can easily propel him into the upper echelon of players on Europe, both in terms of displaying his skills as well as getting paid as the other big boys out there. He deserves it.

I'm also glad that the German sides are performing strong as of late on the biggest stages of European football. I was really getting tired of seeing Barcelona and Real Madrid winning so many of the major titles there in the last decade +. And I'm a big Bayern fan, so there is that too. I was very disappointed in last year's finale, where they lost to Chelsea. I think it's redemption time for them this year.

In the last decade or so the English club's have been more of a dominant force but as is football the cycle continues.
Bayern missed a great opportunity last season with you's being at home and all against a decent but not great Chelsea side.

Madrid's away goal could be interesting if they score in the first twenty minutes I would say game on although it would still take a bit of a collapse by Dortmund,an away goal of their own will I'm sure kill the game.

love to see west ham turn over shitty

Good result for us today. We needed a timely win, coupled with a Tottenham draw, and we still have a slight chance for one for one of the top 5 spots. I'll be a Man U fan tomorrow, that's for sure.

[Trace17]

lol @ newcastle. That escalated quickly.

[Wes Blu-ray]

Glad to see the back of QPR and that dodgy tax evading cockney cheat Redknapp...good ridance.

Close, but no cigar. Real made it interesting in the last 10 minutes today with two quick goals, as they applied a lot of pressure on Dortmund toward the end there, but they couldn't quite get that all important 3rd goal to move on.

Congrats to Borussia for moving onto the championship match!

tonight will be a good match

My goodness, Bayern absolutely destroyed Barcelona in their home/away series. It ended up being a 7-0 aggregate in favor of Bayern. This must be one of the worst beating Barcelona has ever taken, at least in their recent history. And I though they were supposed to be the best team in the world. Guess not.

Bayern FTW, all the way!!!
