Personally, I'm hoping for Real/BvB, and Bayern/Barcelona in the semi-final round, and in that order, too.

I really don't want to endeavor the thought of there being, in effect, a Bundesliga Championship Series and a Primera División Championship Series to decide who goes to the European Final. Dortmund and Bayern have faced each other plenty this year and in recent years between Bundesliga and Pokal competition, and there have already been SIX Clasico's in the 2012-13 Spanish season. They also met in the 2011 Semifinal as well.

I know these draws are purportedly "random". But I can still hope.

I'd love to see Dortmund progress to the final and if that happens, I'd like to see Barcelona join them.

However, if Real Madrid wins, I'd like to see Bayern join them in the final. Incidentally enough, that's what I think will happen.

But I don't want an all-Bundesliga or a Clasico final no matter what.

NBC fills us in on the details of their EPL broadcasts set to start later this year.

Absolutely brilliant. Talk about a company realizing the potential of the EPL contract and acting on it.

The Villa better be playing EPL football next year.

Also, glad to see Cardiff finally win promotion! I guess it was the kit and crest change, eh? :P

Big day coming up in a few minutes in the Premiership for this Villa fan. All the other relegation candidates play at 10:00 with the top five playing Sunday and Monday.

And Cardiff have not only won promotion but are now Championship Champions!

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

He got a 7 game ban in Holland when he did something similar when playing for Ajax.

I don't think there could be much of a complaint if this was used as a benchmark. I will be angry if he gets a ban short enough to see him feature again this season.

To top it all off, he is nominated and said to be 2nd favourite to win PFA player of the year behind Gareth Bale. Disgusting.

The FA has now charged Suarez with violent conduct

The FA don't really have any stumbling blocks to overcome in this situation. No rules to bend and facing a repeat offender. They also have the benchmark of 7 games from his similar incident at Ajax I posted about above.

This really should not take that long to sort out in my opinion. An 8 game ban seems about appropriate to me. Especially considering the final 4 games of this season are pretty much meaningless to Liverpool.

I was watching a Sky Sports report and it was stated that since his incident with Ajax was in another federation that it could not be factored into this decision.
