I dont care if he is gay, but i think its a good thing that he can come out and talk about it... I think its a positive thing.

It's the fact that gay sportsmen feel they have to let people know. Maybe one day, it won't be such a big deal?

It's because it is still a big deal, that it is important that a high profile coming out is newsworthy. Significantly he didn't feel able to do it while he was still a player.

Well, hopefully one day, it won't be such a big story.

Does anyone else think that having seen Jerome Champagne's proposals that maybe Sepp Blatter doesn't seem to bad after all?

Had to google where Wonersh is, which is not even remotely close to Manchester or Liverpool.

Chances are I bet that bloke has never been to Old Trafford or Anfield.

well done to Sunderland, but can anyone explain to me why Man Utd hadn't won on the away goals rule at the end of the 90 minutes of normal time?

It's been bugging me all day

I can't work it out

Changed the rules, so they did. Don't know when?

I didn't realise there ever was an away goals rule in the League Cup.

I thought there use to be? Got me confused now, Aidan.

There may well have been. I just don't remember there being one.

On another note - On the unlikely scenario that Man U win the CL but finish outside the top 4 in the PL, am I right in thinking they wont be able to defend the trophy next season? There was controversy when Liverpool won it a few years back but can't remember what the outcome was.

Liverpool were allowed to defend it, but I think they changed the rules after that.
