Mr. Ypsi

Well, the FA is softer than I thought - he is banned for just 10 games (which means the rest of this season and the first six games next season).  (If he should be sold out of the EPL, does anyone know if FIFA enforces one league's bans in other leagues?)

Its the 5th longest ban in EPL history.  It wasn't worse than what Barton or Di Canio did

Seems right in line and maybe even a little harsh compared to some of the other bans.  Eden Hazzard of Chelsea received a 3 game ban this season for kicking a ball boy.  That actually seemed worse to me.

Too harsh?  He's a freaking serial offender?!  He's already been banned 7 matches for biting, 8 matches for being a racist and now another 10 matches for biting yet again and you think this is harsh?  Maybe if there was no history of being a complete racist psychopath I might agree?   ???

And I'm not condoning what Hazzard did, but I would hardly call what he did to that ballboy as kicking.  The kid totally embellished the tap that Hazzard gave him.  Not to mention, it's not the job of the ballboy to lay on the ball to delay the game and prevent Chelsea from getting the ball back in play.  If you ask me, that kid should never get the chance to be a ballboy for the bush league tactics of laying on the ball like he did...  ::)

You seemed to have missed a couple key words

You can't kick a ball boy, way wrong, no matter the situation.

FA Cup final just in:  Wigan Athletic shocks Manchester City, 1-0.

stunning finish from the English Championship promotion semi-final.

the set up:   Leicester led Watford 1-0 after the first leg,  Watford were leading the second leg 2-1 to make it 2-2 on aggregate.  Leicester were awarded a "soft" penalty very late in stoppage time and could seal their trip to Wembley with a conversion.  Then this happened.......

may have out done the finish from the final day in England's League One

Doncaster at Brentford

the set up, Doncaster need one point to secure promotion to The Championship a win gives Doncaster the League One title.  Brentford can also win promotion with a victory leaving Doncaster in the play-offs.   Bournemouth is promoted and can win the division if Brentford win this game.

pretty much the last kicks of the game.

Odd week for Wigan.  On Saturday, they win the FA Cup; on Tuesday, they get relegated! :o

Wigan made a couple of firsts with their FA Cup win.  They were the first team to win the FA Cup making their first appearance in the Cup Final which was a good thing.  :)  Now they are also the first team to win the FA Cup and then go on to be relegated which is not such a good thing...  :-[

Just saw another thing about the FA Cup: Man City's payroll is TEN TIMES that of Wigan ($300M to $30M) - victory (however short-lived :P) for the little guys! ;D

Hoping to see Palace back in the Premiership.  Quite a long time before that match gets played, though.

disappointed to hear NBC will be covering English soccer starting next year.  I've loved FOX Soccer and ESPN's weekend game's.


It does sound like NBC is going all out though.

That was a great game....thought Dortmund might do it, but Robben was superb.  His late goal was fantastic...all finesse, just rolled it by the keeper.
