I think my favourite player name is Danny Invincible (Kilmarnock).

I'm absolutely appalled.

It's clear from that he hates the English, English football and anyone who has ever even thought of England or seen it on the map.

The evidence is overwhelming that the ref at Stamford Bridge acted on Platini's personal instruction (they are both foreign don't you know) and the same will happen in Rome.

I am so outraged I am stamping my feet and everything.

You have to look at the circumstances. He was giving an interview to 'El Mundo' a very conservative Spanish paper. They (now) see Barcelona as a Spanish team and therefore are going to make them look as good and liked as possible.
I'd say that if Platini gave an interview to 'The Sun' or 'MEN' he'd be complimentary to United.
That aside, the guy is a total hypocrite! He criticises the Premier League for all the foreigners and the poaching from other European leagues when he himself made his name playing in the 1980's equivalent, Serie A

And if he was worthy of the position of UEFA president he wouldn't be giving interviews to either El Mundo, The Sun, or the MEN. Or if he did, he'd make sure that he appeared completely impartial, rather than heavily favouring one of the competitors.

I'm really not sure where his 'dislike' of English clubs/football comes from.



Come on! The odd billion or two can easily escape the mind...

I think the MK Dons situation sets a dangerous precident and the success of AFC Wimbledon since has clouded the implications for those fans left behind. The next club to move's supporters might not make such a good job of a bad situaution.



Can only be one team that want them TNS as no other merger with a Welsh Club would see Merthyr fans having to travel to England for home games.

One-eyed English supporters in spitting their dummies out over Platini shocker.

Personally, this United fan couldn't give a sh*t about what he's said.

danny tu takes some beating, apart from that german player.......kuntz

And while were at it, that Peruvian team 'Deportivo Wanka'.

Classic.

I think Platini is a bit clueless to be honest, but not sure exactly what it is that he has done to make people think he has a vendetta against English football.

Or is it one of those bloody EU eurocrats/ Brussels Banana Benders / Keep your hands of our pound type of rants?

Platini is trying to make the European Cup closer so there are more tight games. The English teams dominate, i for one am pretty sick of the sight of Chelsea in the Quater/Semi Finals, coming up against someone like Atletico Madrid or Lyon or even Shakhtar would be much more entertaining.

Let him just have a go at it, if it doesnt work fine sack him.

Just lets try something different?
