Heitinga doesn’t blame Vidic for elbow

November 23, 2009

Everton defender John Heitinga has absolved Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic from any blame after he suffered an eye injury in a challenge with the Serb in Saturday’s game at Old Trafford.

“I have four stitches and it was an elbow,” Heitinga told The Sun. “But we were in the air and I don’t think it was deliberate.

“Vidic said sorry afterwards. It’s football, it can happen.”

Referee Steve Bennett hadn’t seen the incident and therefore didn’t book the Man United defender. With Vidic on the pitch, the Reds enjoyed an easy game and cruised to a 3-0 victory.

Danielle Lloyd Seriously Attacked at Nightclub

May 26, 2009

Danielle Lloyd was rushed to hospital after being attacked by two women in the early hours of Monday morning.

The WAG has been pictured laying on the pavement outside Crystal nightclub in Central London bloodied and in a bad state.

The unprovoked attack saw Danielle thrown on to a table of drinks by two females, leaving her with a serious injury to her leg.

The WAG was out with her current ‘baller Jamie O’Hara, who could have had something to do with the fight… Earlier this month Danielle got in to a brawl with O’Hara’s ex, which suggests some people have a problem with their relationship.

The model’s spokeman said after the incident: ‘Danielle sustained a serious wound to her back which required stitches upon arrival at hospital. The injury to her leg is more serious.’

He continued: ‘Danielle had been socialising with six friends, including her boyfriend Jamie O’Hara, when the unprovoked attack occurred at around 2.30am. Danielle was thrown on to a table of drinks by two females.

An ambulance was called and Mr O’Hara awaited its arrival outside before travelling with Miss Lloyd to the hospital.’

Danielle Lloyd has a lot of haters, I admit we’ve not always been her biggest fans but she certainly didn’t deserve this.

These girls should be ashamed of themselves!!

Bremen no problem for Jol as Hamburg eye Euro crown

April 30, 2009

BREMEN, Germany (AFP) – Hamburg coach Martin Jol is relishing facing Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen in Thursday’s UEFA Cup semi-final despite the heartbreak of losing to them on penalties in the German Cup last week.

Goalkeeper Tim Wiese was Bremen’s hero in Hamburg when he broke home fans’ hearts with three consecutive saves in the penalty shoot-out to hand his side a 3-1 victory on spot kicks in the German Cup semi-final.

And with Hamburg fourth in the Bundesliga, while Bremen languish in 10th, Jol is not bothered by last week’s cup defeat at the hands of Bremen or the 2-0 upset at Dortmund in the league last Saturday.

“We have played well in two games against Werder so far this season,” said former Tottenham Hotspurs boss Jol.

“We beat them in the Bundesliga and drew in the German Cup (the game finished 1-1 after extra-time).”

The fact that Hamburg lost on penalties does not concern Jol who is convinced his side can come through both the impending two-legged UEFA Cup matches.

“It is the end of April and we are still near the top of the Bundesliga table.

“Bremen are in tenth place. Should things be the other way round, we would have a problem.”

Bremen are in the German Cup final on May 30 at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium where they will face Bayer Leverkusen, but their cup form has been one of the few things their fans have had to cheer about this season.

And until Hamburg lost the second leg of their quarter-final 2-1 at Manchester City to go through 4-3 on aggregate, Jol’s side had a fine record of five wins in six games, scoring 12 and conceding only three goals.

And both sides know plenty about each other: “We know them and they know us, so there’s nothing new there,” said Jol.

Hamburg are without top scorer Mladen Petric for the trip to Bremen, he had eight stitches removed from the gashed shin he received in last week’s defeat to Bremen, but the Weserstadion tie comes to early for the Croatian.

He will be out for another ten days, but it is hoped he will be fit for the second leg at Hamburg’s HSH Nordbank Arena a week later.

Germany defender Marcell Jansen is struggling with a rib injury, but has told Jol he is prepared to grit his teeth and play with the injury.

For Bremen, the only key injury concern is the fitness of captain Frank Baumann who has missed the 3-2 win over Bochum last weekend, but is expected to have shaken off a knock to be fit in time.
