Now he's eledted I only hope Milan will stop all that b/s about suspicious transfers and other scandals, cause with this guy in charge (and his Milan hate) we'll have no benefit of a doubt!

It's also obvious to me that Platini is the worst nightmare for that stupi @ss Blatter.

What !?? Platini is the worst nightmare for Blatter !??

Hey pal are you from Mars or what?? Platini is Blatter's puppet, the day he was elected was probably the saddest for football cause it meant the only fort still safe fell on that cheap and dirty man's hands. Platini is Blatter's clone. Blatter's infulence on him is evident. Same politics, same rhetoric and delivery talk, same ideas, same bozoism! Platini went, thewed by his mentor, in every single "little" federation and taking advantage of the fact that the Eastern Bloc felt thrust aside by the Nyon establishment ( (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) he promised to give them everything... Extra spots on the CL, extra spots on the Euro and Paolo knows what else. Hmm... Reminds me of what Blatter had promised to the Caribbean and Southeastern Asia countries for the World Cup... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Even their stupid ideas are so much alike. Someday Blatter had suggested the World Cup should be played every two years. Someday Platini had suggested that the CL should be played with a tableu (just like in tennis), from #1 to #128... Which means Milan for example should begin the competition by playing with some San Marino team, Man U with some Afghanistan one and so on... Johansson is not the best president ever but at least he's not an artful driveller! Now UEFA will be handled just like every other Blatter store, which is what he's been wishing for... he always slobbered for UEFA's cash-desk!

What Platini plans for the CL is so utterly stupid and so highly doubtable that even the newly-elected or re-elected members of the executive committee will not certainly support it (the colloquy [spelling] begins in April). I won't even comment on whether or not the sponsors and broadcasters will support it with their own palpable way... The fourth CL spot Italy, Spain and England have is not a problem in any way. If that fourth team deserves it then it will go through and it is what the tournament needs. If not then 9 times out of 10 it is thrown out, on August! Just like Everton last year. Just like Osasuna and Chievo this year. Just like Mallorca some years ago. No structure ever kept Rapid Wien, Molde, HJK, Maccabi Tel Aviv or whichever team out of the CL.

You know... these days the CL trophy is on tour at the Asian continent. A replica of course cause the real one is still on Barcelona's museum waiting for Puyol to bring it here in Athens on March 9. This also reminds me of Blatter's politics, often implemented by FIFA (just like they did with the WC trophy, another replica of course). I'm not saying that taking the trophy on tour is a bad idea but done this way it's like... you know, like "beads to the aboriginals" ( hope you get what I'm trying to say ). Now tell me, how are the people of Indonesia and China are going to feel when a trophy that is going to be displayed in millions of TVs around the globe on the draw that will take place in Athens on the 9th of March is at the same time going to be displayed at Jakarta and Beijing ? Fatuous to say the least... If this fiasco and the lame two days' CL action is the first sign of the new "Platini Era" I shudder to the thought of what's coming next...

I wish I'm going to be proved a liar and an idiot but I fear everything that was built at UEFA by the technocrats in recent years (the enhanced CL, ΕURO competitions etc) are going to be wasted. I'd rather have a 120 year old Johansson than the occasional Blatter d!ck ( Platini for the moment ). Blatter is coming to destroy everything on the grounds of "divide and govern" that will keep him at the epicentre of the game. UEFA was the last fortress of solemnity left in world football... what we're going to experience is not even imaginable !
