Anyone watching the Barcelona game now, Eto'o is refusing to play after the racist abuse being poured towards him and it looks as if he's broke down into tears as well.

Its absolutely disgusting the amount of abuse towards black players in Spain and it really needs seeing to, FIFA need to act before some of the best players in the world give up playing because of it.

Looks as if Eto'o has been convinced to carry on, he's brave and ive got the utmost respect for him for doing what he's doing because racism has no place in any form of society.

It's disgraceful, just wish the ICC would condemn racism in Cricket, were it not for Zimbabwe our sport would be better.

Well, I agree 100% with you. I think though there are still racists at the top of the Spanish FA - remember, they didn't condemn what the Spanish manager said about Henry. Had that been in England, he'd have lost his job instantly. Also, why arn't FIFA banning Spain from Competitions both club and international? We got banned from Europe because of hooliganism, surely racism is just as bad if not worse ?

Liverpool have beaten, no dominated Man City but only managed to find the one goal again. We are now level on points with Man U who will have a game in hand that they will lose

Hardly a lucky win. Your lucky you didn't sleep with those "girls" cough transexuals cough. You'd have got a nasty suprise, ask Stevie!

Well i heard it from the commentator. You must have been one of the 'numorous' ones to make it up/

Well, if it hadn't been for a crumbling, over confident AC Milan, Liverpool would have lost. I think the league is more revealing to how good a team is than the Chamions League. As we saw Liverpool can score in the CL and then defend all game = a boring specticule. When Liverpool next (if they ever do again) win the League, come back and brag Ste.

I don't disagree.....point is we won the league and FA Cup aswell and played entertaining football all season in Europe. The fact that United had Keane and Scholes, arguably the best midfielders in the world then suspended, DID make a huge difference.

The fact that Bayern also thought they had the match won also made a HUGE difference as well.
