What's the deal with that?

Some had clauses in their contracts reducing their $$ if they were relegated.

West Ham clearly cheated (although the EPL bottled it) and therefore ought to have gone down to the CCC in place of Sheff Utd.

Therefore, players may have a prima facie case for loss of earnings.

And so some of them want to sue WH for their personal loss in income and SU are saying you'll be asked if you do?

Seems a bit odd.

Poms *shakes head*.

he IS a great player, but the reason i hated him at chelsea was he's diving, which always went he's way, which was disgraceful (even if i was a blues supporter)

ill give you a tenner if Rafa even signs him in the first place, over Kuyt, over newly signed (and playing decently) Riera, even behind the striker which would be Gerrards spot!!!

West Ham didn't cheat Tevez was registered, it's a team game, one player cant decide the outcome of a game alone, Sheff Utd are whinging c**ts etc....

What ever happened to freedom of speach?

When will Greenpole stop saying that we cheated?

As for the S**** Utd players sueing West Ham, they beat us twice that season!

Perhaps S**** Utd should sue Liverpool for fielding a weaken team at F**ham and then losing the game, thoise 3 points kept up F**ham!

How about sueing the ref at Blackburn were we won 1 nil and the ball didn't cross the line....
