Help?
The Reporter Help

We have renewed the Rumours and Transfers and from now on it will be known as The Reporter.

New changes:

You have the section divided into rumours and pieces of news. You can add photos to the news and rumours. If look carefully, each news that contains an image will have a small icon next to it referring to the image.

Classification of news and rumours:

The classification of news and rumours will be based on two criteria: number of votes and ancestry. The latest and the most voted news and rumours will be displayed on the top. If for example you observe that at the end of one week a news or rumour a lot of votes goes below another article with less votes it will be because it is not so new. In any case you can choose between looking at it in this order, only the latest, the most commented on or only news or rumours.

How do I upload a news?

Inside the section, on the left you will find the "Upload news" botton.

Anelka: 18-match French ban (and laughing at it)

PIECE OF NEWS

Nicolas Anelka says he is "laughing" after being banned for 18 games by the French Football Federation (FFF) over his conduct at this summer's World Cup.

 

The 31-year-old Chelsea striker was sent home from South Africa after a row with coach Raymond Domenech."This whole thing is a nonsense, to turn the page because [new coach] Laurent Blanc needs to be able to work in peace," Anelka told France Soir. These people are clowns. I'm dying with laughter," he added. Anelka said the suspension "has no relevance whatsoever" because as far as he is concerned, his international career finished when he was thrown out of training on 19 June.

 

Manchester United's Patrice Evra was captain of the team and has been banned for five matches for his involvement in the revolt. Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery has been suspended for three and Jeremy Toulalan of Lyon for one. Barcelona's Eric Abidal was also summoned to Tuesday's FFF disciplinary hearing but escaped punishment.

 

The quintet were highlighted as the key players in the embarrassing controversy which surrounded the French team at the World Cup following Anelka's outburst at Domenech during the loss to Mexico saw him banished.
