Petr won't Cech out of Chelsea

Summary:

Petr Cech, goal keeper of Chelsea FC has revealed he wishes to see out his carreer at Stamford Bridge. It looks like he is set to beat the club's appearances record for an overseas player, that title currently belongs to Gianfranco Zola who has made 312 appearances. During Cech's time at Chelsea he has won three Premier League titles, three FA cups and two League Cups during his time in west London.

But Cech can't see himself getting anywhere near fellow keeper Peter Bonetti's 729's Chelsea appearances. Petr says: "As much as I love playing for Chelsea, I can't see me still playing when I'm 38 or older, but if I can get over 312 apperances I'd be very proud."

Cech is ready to face rivals Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League quarter finals tonight.

Personal opinion:

I think this is great to hear. I'm am a massive fan of Chelsea and have been for many years, and I think Petr Cech is an amazing player, maybe even the best in the world (except for Van der Sar) so I'm glad he has no intentions of leaving. It would be amazing for him if he could beat the record of a non-British player making that many appearances. He’s a fair player so, in my opinion, he really deserves it. Also, I hope they win the match tonight and beat Manchester United!

Wayne Rooney banned for Man Utd's FA Cup semi-final

Summary:

Wayne Rooney, player of Manchester United, says he’s gutted he will miss the FA Cup semi-final versus Manchester City. After scoring a hat-trick at West Ham last Saturday, he was seen swearing into a TV camera which the Football Association didn’t approve of.

Rooney immediately apologised after the match, but it was too late because the FA had already made up their mind and gave him a two-match ban, which Rooney does not agree with calling his suspension ‘excessive’.

Rio Ferdinand, team captain of Manchester United said he thinks his friend is coming in for harsh treatment and should not be front page news as there are more important things to focus on.

Personal opinion:

I think it’s weird that Rooney get suspended for two matches, just because he was seen swearing on live TV. He’s not the first player to be seen swearing on TV, yet he’s the only one who gets a suspension. That just doesn’t seem right to me. I personally think Rooney is a terrific player, but I do understand why the FA banned him because I think he should not be swearing on live TV as children are watching and a lot of these children see him as a role model. So, I hope Rooney learns from his mistakes and this won’t happen again.

Youth stabbed in front of younger brother in Edmonton

Summary:

Negus McClean, a 15-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in North London while trying to protect his 12-year-old brother. He was found at Westminster Road in Edmonton on Sunday, with stab wounds to the chest and thigh.

So far, four people have been arrested who could be responsible for his death.

One of his cousins, Noel, said that he was trying to protect his brother and that it was a selfless act, that caused him to die. He also describes it as “a disgusting act of violence”.

Negus is described as an intelligent and mature person, who loved making music.

He is one of the four victims who have been stabbed to death over the past four months, according to Scotland Yard.

Personal opinion:

I think this is a real disgrace and I honestly cannot believe that something like this could happen. Circumstances are not being given, just that Negus was trying to protect his younger brother, but what we don’t know is why his brother needed protection to begin with. Did the killer just started attacking him for no reason at all? Having said that, there is no excuse for stabbing something to death, so I hope they find the killer and put him behind bars for the rest of his life.
