problem is 99.9% of English fans­ (re:HOOLIGANS) are troublemakers...

If the English hooligans cause any more problems they­ should face another multiple year ban... but I­ don't know if you could actually ban the EPL teams­ as they have NO ENGLISH PLAYERS.

Watch these English retards ... When they lose­ they'll riot and get smacked around by the riot­ cops.... they'll run away crying with the tails in­ between their legs at which point, to try to lose that­ typically British emasculated feeling, they'll try­ to beat up some Italian guys... said guys will pull out­ their pig-stickers and logically stick some English­ pigs maybe even to death (one can always hope)... the­ survivors will run back to England calling the italians­ racist animals when they are in fact just fed up of­ English animals. They will also call Barcelona,­ Platini, and UEFA cheats when in fact the truth is that­ the English teams are over rated. This you may call the­ most likely and truthful scenario...

Did anyone mention UEFA cup final held in Machester and­ very well behaved Rangers FC supporters and Police very­ able (NOT) to deal with them?
No? Well, it's cos of­ you UK guys only blame everyone else, but yourself.

I'm glad Utd arent playing an italian side in the­ final, if they were you could be sure the police would­ side with the Italian fans. Policing should be­ un-biased, with only the trouble makers singled out­ from either side.

you're talking about rome like baghdad. i visited­ london in 2007...i was attacked and robbed by an­ english gang...rome is the most safe european capital­ after lisbon...shot up!!!! london sucks and it's an­ horrible city. if you don't want to come, please­ stay at home...no one forces you to see the­ final...FORZA BARCA

OH YEAH SURE CUZ ENGLAND DOESNT RIGHT????? THE ONLY­ REASON WHY NO ONE HERES ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF­ STABBINGS THAT OCCUR IN LONDON EACH DAY IS BECAUSE THE­ ENGLISH PRESS JUST LOVE TO COVER IT UP AND GLORIFY HOW­ GREAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE IS AS OPPOSED TO THE­ "Boring and Violent" Serie A. Dont BS please,­ if I wanted to listen to BS I would watch sky sports­ news. AKA propaganda a la joseph goebles.

I hope the British Foreign Office does not forget­ something crucial, fraud protection: if somebody tries­ to sell you the Colosseo, DON'T buy it !! LIKELY he­ is trying and kidding you.

LOL NICE 1 MATE

Eggs being thrown, pepper spray as well....take some­ toast and you can have a cracking breakfast made for­ you.

awwww u might get eggs thrown at you and hit with­ pepper spray and batons by the rome police thats also­ what happened at the middlesbrough game

yeh be careful all united fans who are going to rome­ this is the only friendly warning u united fans will­ ever get off me so take it. remember what happened to­ us middlesbrough supporters in the uefa cup 2007 semi­ final i think it was yeh our fellow fans were stabbed­ and beaten up my some of the idiots in rome. so be­ careful one person even got stabbed and died!

Nelly - whether you earn more than me or not you are­ boring me now...

On the issue of English fans behaving­ badly, i think that we are unfortunately tarred by Sepp­ Blatter and Platters racism. If an overseas fan had­ been stabbed to death (remember the Leeds fan in Turkey­ if my memory serves me correct) we would have been­ kicked out of Europe (one way to stop English teams­ dominating the Champs League). The worst fans in­ European footie are the Turkish but nothing was or is­ ever done (i think Blatters assistant at the time was­ Turkish - might have something to do with it!!!) If­ FIFA treated everyone the same it would be fine, but­ the English seem to get the worst treatment...

visca el barca!
funny how it's always mancs who­ are victims to such great injustices. mi wonders, if­ they really are such innocent angels and it's the­ italian ultras that are the devils. maybe it is the­ other way around, after all mancs are also known as­ devils. surely when abroad they like to show off and­ hold true to their name. i just hope rome has enough­ hospital beds, cuz for every broken window there will­ be a manc needing a hosptial bed i reckon.

And when exactly did i state all Italian fans as­ uncivilised animals?
Read what i wrote a little more­ carefully before you open your ill informed mouth.
As­ for English fans i stated in my first post that many­ have behaved awfully abroad also.
Im simply explainig­ my own experiences when following my club and county in­ Italy.
And since when does having a view that is­ differnt to your own bring me down to the level of­ pensioner assulting riot cop.
I think that it is maybe­ you who needs to grow up a little flowe.

If you dont have a ticket then you shouldnt be going­ anyway ,English supporters have gained a reputation for­ trouble and have been blamed for a lot of it over the­ years where i tend to beleive its 50-50 and i accept­ that in some cases there is an overreaction from the­ police but if you go out there acting a moron then they­ are not going to put up with it and you have to say why­ should they,its no good moaning about not being­ involved ,you all will be tarred with the same brush by­ the police so if you are going without a ticket then­ you get what you deserve because you are bound to get­ caught up in it even if innocent ,remember if you aint­ there it cant happen.But what sickens me is that the­ people who do go out for a punch up call themselves­ FANS they are a joke no true supporter from any club­ want retards like them in the club anyway they are all­ numptys and if those that cant resist going for the­ punch ups ,that will inevitably take place ,should be­ locked up in Italy and left there not sent home,and­ banned for life ,the spirit of being able to banter­ with the opposition has in most cases gone due to these­ @#$%@s and if you look at the ages of some of these­ idiots they are in their 30s upwards too what a bunch­ of stiffs they really are scum so i cant say that it­ will be a suprise to read that there was trouble but­ good luck Barca hope you win

Things have changed quite a lot, and this match will be­ a chance to show it, what happened in the past is­ past.

I am getting tired of your attitude, just­ because you were a victim in past events it doesn't­ mean that you can generalize all italian football fans­ as uncivilized animals and say that it will always be­ like this and that they will never change. Should i­ remind you that Italy's history of football­ violence is a fraction of the UK's? but what­ happened? they changed! wow! amaizing! now they behave­ themselves! awesome isn't it? If it happened to the­ country with the largets amount of football violence­ ever why can't it happen in Italy? Things change­ buddy, I am positive that these things will not happen­ again, or maybe at least they will not be as­ serious.
Why I wasted my time trying to have a calm and­ mature debate with such a muppet is beyond me, for what­ I care you are no better than that cop who hit that­ poor old man.

No, I was talking about the last event in rome, not the­ other ones, yes there were some ultras disguised as­ police to be able to freely attack english fans, the­ other event were in the past, things have changed quite­ a lot from then.

so sfraganosimon let me get this straight.....

In that­ incident some of the Italian police where not actully­ police at all, but Italian ultras dressed as police so­ that they could inflict damage of English­ supporters?

So I guess that means that when England­ went to Turin in 97, the same is true.
Or Chelsea last­ year?
Or Arsenal?

What an absoloute load of­ codswollop.

Also this was not an isolated incident,­ English football fans have come under increased­ brutlaity from Italian police for the last 20 years,as­ i have previously mentioned. A ONE OFF?????? ARE YOU­ KIDDING ME!!

and i know it will happen­ again.....

dont talk such unifomred drivel

I personally believe that that's what they should­ do to avoid problems, not threatening to remove the­ unsecure places from the list of possible locations for­ these events, but to make the local government pay­ damages if these things happen, doesn't matter­ where, doesn't matter who starts them, may it be in­ Rome, London, Manchester, Bareclona, Moscow, wherever.­ If, for example, something like this happens in Rome­ and the local government was forced by the FA to pay­ damages to each and every fan... which could be 5x what­ the fans have spent to go there (ticket + flights +­ accomodation, the local council would have the bleedin­ army patroling the streets and for sure as hell there­ wouldn't be any accidents.
