Sebastien shared details with The Daily Mirror of his injury, “It’s not good news. It’s a hamstring. I’ll be out maybe four or five weeks. It just feels like my muscle is gone. It was really not a good day for me or the club or the fans. It was the worst day of the season.”

Surely, the club’s manager Henry Redknapp is freaking out over this unfortunate news. Hopefully the Premier League club is able to move on past this and succeed, despite Sebastien being out for five weeks.

Proposed Liverpool FC Stadium

Liverpool FC co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks have changed the plans because they believe that they need the extra seats to accommodate the fans and make more money. However the $600 million price tag does not make this project cheap. Gillett and Hicks have had to look for outside investors to help front the enormous debt their club have incurred. Gillett is even selling his prized Montreal Canadians hockey team to help him finance the Liverpool FC.

Well with a seating capacity of over 73,000 it is hoped that they will be able to make their money back with relative ease.

Rioting in London by soccer fans isn’t a new thing. The worst recent soccer violence occurred in Manchester last season after a technician was unable to connect a giant TV screen of the game. English fans were also responsible for the 1985 European Cup riot in Brussels that left 35 people dead. The tragedy subsequently banned English teams from competing in the European League for five years. After that British police are always on guard during a soccer match for fear of international rebuke.

Violent people them British.

Chelsea player, Frank Lampard, kicked the ball in an empty net in the 56th minute, followed by Florent Malouda who sealed the deal for his team with a second goal after 65 minutes.

It is not looking good for Newcastle right now. Middlesbrough are two points behind them while West Bromwich Albion takes last place at 24 points.

Currently, the top three in the Premier League right now are the usual suspects, being Liverpool, at 67 points, Manchester United, at 65 points and Chelsea, at 64 points.

In a year, Ronaldo would make about $14.5 million and according to reports, the new contract would keep him there until 2014. If he were to accept such an offer he would then become the highest paid player in the Premier League.

He still has three years left with his current contract but FIFA rules would allow him to buy himself out of his contract at the end of next season.
