A Roma fan has been arrested after an Arsenal supporter was stabbed before the sides’ Champions League last 16, second leg in Rome on Wednesday evening.

Arsene Wenger’s side progressed to the quarter finals of the competition after overcoming their Italian opponents 7-6 on penalties, having lost 1-0 in normal time.

However, prior to kick off a coach carrying Arsenal fans was stormed by a group of Roma ‘Ultras’ just outside the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital.

The windows of the vehicle were smashed and at least one intruder boarded the coach, letting off a flare and stabbing an Arsenal fan in the knee. The victim was treated at the stadium and his injuries are not thought to be serious.

Arsenal had issued safety information for supporters of the North London side travelling to the game, in the wake of fears of violence. Sixteen Manchester United fans were stabbed near the ground in two separate incidents in 2007 when the teams met in the competition.

Millwall fans > Roma fans

Blows the mind that UEFA thinks having the CL final there is a good idea.

Hope the fan is alright, and the rest of the traveling Arsenal contingent don't run into further problems tonight.

I saw the replay of the Arsenal v. Burnley game earlier. Not a great match-up or anything like that, but it was a fun 2nd half to watch.

While Newcastle are hoping that Michael Owen can pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat at Hull on Saturday, the home side have enlisted their own brand of magic.

From the Hull Mail, Friday:

The powers of the spirit world have been enlisted in a bid to help Hull City recover their home form.

The Tigers are without a Premier League win at the KC Stadium since beating Middlesbrough 2-1 in December. Now, ahead of tomorrow's vital game against Newcastle,
a renowned medium has performed a spiritual blessing
at the Walton Street ground.

Psychic Patrick Hutchinson has called on positive spirits to help City reverse the losing streak.

He was in Hull to perform a show when the Mail contacted him to ask him to visit the ground – and help put City on the road to glory once more.

He said: "Sometimes buildings and places can hold negative energies, which can affect those within it.

"It could be from a person who has died near the site of the ground whose spirit has not been guided towards the light (or the stadium of light, in the case of Phil Brown).

Or it could be from a previous manager or disgruntled away fans who have left a lot of negative vibes at Hull City.

"A spiritual blessing can help cleanse the building and reverse the fortunes within."

I can't see it being an issue come final day. The associated Roma ultras aren't going to be there, so it's not like they're going to abitrarily start for the hell of it.

Although having said all that, whatever the team, there's been a lot of aggro between ultras and police in italy since that shooting incident in 2007, so I could see some collective effort being staged just to fuck off the italian police.

I guess Liverpool's season is on the line tomorrow.

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 21:35:36

Uh, yes.

Prediction: 1-1. Rooney scores late to rip my heart out.

we've got Fat Sam, and we always drop points in the league after a big win in Europe. Villa have the Spuds at home. Man do I hate rooting for the scum.

Relegation zone is interesting.

Fulham are 10th with 34 points, Newcastle and Pompey are tied for 18th with 28 points. 10 games left, anything can happen.

West Brom look a dead cert to go down. Boro looking like a good bet as well.

I think Wolves are almost a lock for automatic promotion, and I'd really love to see Birmingham stumble and not make it..

I'm freaking out. Drinking lite beer and watching old youtubes.

YNWA

COME ON LIVERPOOL
