The story about Dembele is horrible. Sadly, what can one expect from football clubs who just seek to maximise their own revenue, and players are just pawns until they become too rich to control? God, and Sepp Blatter actually speaking (quite radical) sense for once, albeit with no follow-through.
On a brighter note, well done to APOEL for becoming the first Cypriot team through to the last sixteen of the CL.

a forthcoming panorama documentary explores 'the mystery of the missing footballers'
every year Manchester united pay millions of pounds on very young football players, largely from poor countries such as Liberia. much care is taken to ensure these boys are virgins. they never play a game. instead they are sacrificed in rituals designed to purchase the immortality of Sir Alex Ferguson. Panorama explore this contentious subject and ask, is victory coming at too high a price or is football really 'more important than life and death'?

RIP indeed.
I must have read a few news reports before I read one that mentioned suicide though - it seems that it is still one of the biggest stigmas around, which isn't going to help anyone who might be feeling similarly to Speed in the future.
The things that Robbie Savage et al said about him being unusually happy on Saturday (?) were chilling - it's textbook behaviour pre-suicide. If anything good could come out of this (all too common) tragedy, it would be to de-stigmatise depression and to make people aware of risk signs in friends, loved ones etc.

nasri's getting frimponged HARD out there 
he seemed happy enough to go off when he thought he was being subbed on the half hour.
EDIT: now with pre-tunnel bust-up photos. supposedly nasri took and swing at F4 then bolted to the locker room. he always looked like the kid who would do that sort of thing.
the menacing caress
that's DENCH

PFA to send information on depression to all ex-professionals
I actually don't know if this is more of an issue among footballers than the general male population. I've had depression and I don't mind talking about it, but I doubt that most guys at my work would be at all comfortable dealing with emotional problems

From what I've been reading online it sounds like I owe Don Q a massive apology for today's result.

That was years ago wasn't it? Wiki records him playing with Garforth in '04. IIRC he was badly overweight and didn't last the match. He'd been in intensive care earlier this year and led a famously unhealthy lifestyle so this shouldn't come as a shock.
