    It was a great match and derby, pissed that Owen scored, Liverpool may regret not taking him back on a free, even if he meant Man Utd could not have him.

    Man Utd are a bunch of jammy bastards! How much did they pay the officials to keep playing until whenever they got the winner?!

    Far be it from me to ever stick up for Utd, but City had the same amount of time to score a winner too (and nearly did)

    # goals for El Nino Torres, quite good for my pool and a glimpse of hope to see them top of the league within a few weeks... next week a big big test against Chelsea though.

    Yes that will be a true test for Liverpool, Burnley, Stoke and Hull is one thing but playing the big 4 and City is where it will count.

    Yeah, and Chelsea is a VERY physical team and Ancelotti is one of the best in business, after their Wigan lost they will certainly not repeat the defeat twice in a row, which would give them a huge kick back for the title.

    Er... no. He played excellently while at Blackburn under Mark Hughes. He was sensational during his first few years at Newcastle under Sir Bobby Robson RIP, up until Souness took over. He was also very effective in his short spells at West Ham & Celtic. He may be a cunt of the highest order, but it doesn't mean that he hasn't been good. It's only really been at Liverpool & Coventry that he didn't produce. Still he's a prick, hope he gets a nice long ban. Also hope Man Utd get a MAJOR fine for their fans throwing a coin at Tevez that hit Garrido in the face.
    I agree on his day Bellamy is a very good player, but he is a horrible little man, and the coin incident was a disgrace I sort of felt for Tevez as I feel he would of got a good recpetion if he didnt say all the disrespectful things about Sir Alex in the press, but I thought Tevez condcuted himself very well and even clapped the fans even though he was getting boooed, I dont blame him for leaving as United showed a lack of respect and left it till very late to offer him a contract, but I suppose the way he publicly disrespected the manager he was always making a rod for his own back.

    Whoever threw the coin should have a life ban another cowardly act.
    Amazing what sort of an impression you get of a human being when you only watch him play football...

    Craig Bellamy invests £650,000 to help tackle plight of war-torn country | Football - Times Online

    Sometimes perceptions can be wide of the mark, in which case we should be reappraising Craig Bellamy. The Wales and West Ham United forward is announcing plans today to bring a football structure, an education structure and millions of pounds of investment into Sierra Leone, the war-ravaged West African nation.
    The project has been received so positively by the President of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma, that he has gifted a 25-acre site on which to start building and has instructed his ministers to jump to Bellamy's command.
    The Craig Bellamy Foundation will soon start the construction of a football academy in Freetown, the capital, that Bellamy insists will match standards in the Barclays Premier League. However, his vision for the country extends way beyond this nascent, elite residential football school.

    At the end of last season, he had the whole of June free and decided he wanted to see Sierra Leone. Because of the dangers in a country only starting to recover from more than a decade of civil war, Liverpool, his club at the time, advised him against going and refused to insure him; nevertheless, he went.



    What he found was a country with no football structure whatsoever. The result is not only this five-star academy, but The Craig Bellamy Foundation League, which will be up and running in November and will incorporate 14 new leagues and 68 new boys' teams, thus giving employment to 141 managers and coaches.

    The initial Foundation costs will be approaching £550,000 a year. Of that, Bellamy has so far budgeted nearly £650,000 of his own money in the first three years, but adds that he is in it “until I'm a very old man”.
    There is no financial return for him, either. “I'm not looking to find and sell players,” he said. “I'm not an agent. I want to make it clear that if any player does make it, any fee goes straight back into the academy.”
    Sierra Leone is ranked by Unicef as having the worst child mortality figures in the world and by the United Nations as having the worst record according to the Human Development Index, which measures life expectancy, literacy, education and standard of living. Tom Vernon, Manchester United's chief scout in Africa and a key partner in the project, says that Bellamy quickly grasped the enormous difficulties in taking boys to live at the academy.

    “This will be such a culture shock for these kids,” he said. “There will be kids who have never left their village, who have lost family members in the war and may well have had an older brother who was a child soldier. We'll literally be starting by teaching them social behaviour you teach a three-year-old.”

    But Bellamy's plans do not simply involve the gift of organised football. The new coaches in his league will be put through adapted versions of the FA's coaching courses so that in three years, Sierra Leone will have more qualified coaches than any other West African nation. Likewise, every year, the team managers, who will have a responsibility for the boys' pastoral care, will go on week-long residential courses to improve their education.

    This will then be passed on to the boys; in the new leagues, teams will accrue extra league points for fair play, school attendance and community projects such as unblocking sewers and health education workshops. After games, every boy will be asked an HIV/Aids or medical question and will boost his side's goal difference if he answers correctly. The projections are that 81,000 children will soon receive health awareness education through the foundation.

    “Because of what's happened over the years with the war,” Bellamy said, “children haven't had any opportunity, they haven't been thrown a football, they've been thrown a gun. Now we can give them a chance that their fathers or grandfathers never had. That's the buzz for me.”
    A cynic with only a thin knowledge of Bellamy's sometimes discordant journey through football might suggest that the buzz is in fact some good PR. But as Vernon said: “There are a lot cheaper ways of getting good publicity than this.”

    And as Bellamy said straight- forwardly: “I've never been interested in people's comments anyway, apart from my family and my friends.”
    He has certainly kept the whole story pretty quiet. It all started when two of his friends in the timber industry started making business trips there and telling him about the local popularity of the Premier League.
    “I thought, ‘I wouldn't mind going to see that for myself,'” Bellamy said. “I've always been intrigued by Africa's footballers and that's one continent we don't really get to see.”

    He thus arrived there unannounced for a week last June with little apart from the large quantity of footballs he had persuaded Nike, his sponsor, to provide. “I wanted to see the country my own way, without fanfare or publicity,” he said. “And I made a rule that wherever I saw people playing football, I would stop, give them a ball and join in. That's where I got the idea for the academy. I thought, ‘I'm in the middle of nowhere and they're playing with a ball made of rolled-up socks.' And these boys had ability that I don't see from kids any more.”

    Bellamy returned with his brainchild: the academy. He monitored the Sierra Leone general election in August and, when that convinced him that the country was indeed embracing peace, he commissioned Vernon to conduct a feasibility study.

    Vernon, a 30-year-old from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, has been in Ghana for nearly ten years and started from scratch his own football academy called Right To Dream, which not only polishes the best young players he can find, but educates them, too. He has two boys on Fulham's books and a number of others at university in America.
    Vernon's vision is that the boys who do not make it as professional footballers - who are the vast majority - will leave equipped to make it in life elsewhere. This is exactly how Bellamy wants it in Sierra Leone.
    But Vernon's ten-day study in Sierra Leone threw up more than Bellamy had expected. Vernon told him that because the country had no football structure whatsoever at junior level - no matches, no competition - it would be next to impossible to scout the best players.
    “That was when Tom said we needed not only the academy but a league,” Bellamy said. “My initial thought was that this was too big for me. But then Tom went through it with me and I saw the impact it would have and I decided: ‘I'm doing it and I'm going to do it properly.'”
    Vernon says he has been “inspired by how quickly Craig understood the concept”. Bellamy is to visit next month to check on its progress.
    The next step? “I've thought about doing it in Cape Verde,” Bellamy said. “But for now, it's all Sierra Leone. When you see these people, they do have an effect on you. There is now no other place I'd rather do something like this.”
