L’ Arsenal ( tifosi in foto ) ha superato il West Ham per due reti a zero, portandosi, almeno provvisoriamente, in testa alla graduatoria della “EPL”. Nelle altre gare successi per Everton,Portsmouth,Tottenham,Sunderland e Wigan mentre è finita in parità tra Aston Villa e Wolves. Almeno 2000 manifestanti aderenti alla “English Defence League” sono sesi in piazza a Bolton. La concomitante presenza di una contromanifestazione di militanti di organizzazioni sedicenti antifasciste e legate al fondamentalismo islamico ha provocato tensioni e sessantasette fermi, ivi compresi tutti gli organizzatori del presidio di protesta indetto dalla “UAF”. Due militanti dei locali centri sociali hanno riportato ferite nel corso dei tafferugli tra le opposte fazioni. In Scozia è terminato due a due il sentito derby tra Aberdeen e Dundee mentre i Celtic hanno piegato 3-0 il St. Johnstone. La gara più attesa, comunque, era la stracittadina di Edimburgo nel quale gli Hearts hanno superato 2-1 gli Hibernians. In classifica i Rangers vantano dieci lunghezzi di vantaggio sugli “Hoops” ed hanno anche una gara da recuperare rispetto ai rivali.

Arsenal survived defender Thomas Vermaelen’s first-half sending off to beat West Ham and climb to the top of the Premier League table.

Denilson put the Gunners ahead on four minutes after Nicklas Bendtner’s pass.Vermaelen saw red just before the break for bringing down Guillermo Franco, but Alessandro Diamanti saw his spot-kick well saved by Manuel Almunia.West Ham substitute Carlton Cole hit a post, before Cesc Fabregas scored a penalty after a Matthew Upson handball.A second period of hard graft and three points at the Emirates ensured a sixth successive league win and, with Manchester United and Chelsea both playing on Sunday, guaranteed the Gunners top spot for at least 24 hours.For their London opponents, though, the struggle for Premier League survival shows no sign of receding with Gianfranco Zola’s side now without a point in four matches and hovering perilously three points above the drop zone.

Hearts claimed a deserved victory over Hibernian in the third Edinburgh derby of the season.

The hosts built up a two-goal lead within 27 minutes through Andrew Driver’s strike and Gary Glen’s header.Suso Santana missed an open goal after the break as Hearts continued to press and Glen had a header well saved by goalkeeper Graham Stack.Derek Riordan pulled one back for Hibs 11 minutes from the end with a shot in off the crossbar.The result consolidates Hearts’ sixth-place berth in the Scottish Premier League while Hibs remain a point behind fourth-placed Motherwell, who have played a game more.

Police have battled with thousands of demonstrators during clashes between the English Defence League (EDL) and Unite Against Fascism (UAF) in Bolton.

More than 1,500 UAF and 2,000 EDL supporters were in Victoria Square and a number of people were injured.Sixty-seven people were arrested, including the UAF protest organiser on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder, police said.The EDL says it opposes “militant Islam” and Sharia law.UAF accuses the EDL of being a far right party but it describes itself as a peaceful, non-political group.

Dog bite

A 16-year-old girl, who the police said had nothing to do with the protests, was treated after she suffered a panic attack.Two members of UAF were also taken to hospital with a minor head and a minor ear injury and smoke bombs were set off, the police said.

Sixty-seven people were arrested during the demonstration

Greater Manchester Police said a 19-year-old officer had suffered a fractured finger and another officer was treated for a dog bite.Many shops and pubs closed in the area and most taxi firms pulled their drivers off the roads for fear of violence.The protest, which started at about 1000 GMT, has now calmed down.Protesters for the EDL were escorted away from Victoria Square by police.UAF supporters were then told to disperse by about 1630 GMT.A police spokeswoman said there were now only a few people left in the square.Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said earlier: “The number of arrests already made is a clear indication that this is not a peaceful protest and some demonstrators are determined to cause trouble.

“We are facing a lot of hostility and will take swift action when confronted with disorder.”The actions of some demonstrators is resulting in injuries to others. This is not acceptable.”The force warned offenders would be identified from CCTV footage and “brought to justice”.

Hindu festival

The EDL published a notice on its website with information about the demonstration.It said that supporters would only protest peacefully and they were aiming to have “zero arrests”.It stated: “We will not ever submit to the radicals. We will not tolerate their intolerance. We will stand firm and further the cause of the EDL.”EDL supporters were warned not to react to any goading from other parties, but to smile and give the V for victory sign.The two factions were separated by barriers on the steps of the town hall, which was boarded up.

We and the faith community leaders have done everything within our power to prevent this demonstration due to the risk of violence Bolton Council leader, Cliff Morri

The leader of Bolton Council, the Bishop of Bolton and representatives from the Council of Mosques Hindu Forum wrote to Alan Johnson earlier this week asking for him to ban the demonstration.But he told them it was not in his power to stop a protest.Before the protest, council leader Cliff Morris said he was “disappointed” by the home secretary’s decision.”We and the faith community leaders have done everything within our power to prevent this demonstration due to the risk of violence.”However we understand under current law his powers are extremely limited.”The EDL had postponed its protest, which was due to take place on 6 March, because they did not want it to clash with the timing of Hindu festival, Holi.

Leoni fuori gabbia

ID:	8388013
Category:	Sport
Descrizione:	Un noto leader di una Firm, richiesto di commentare i consueti incidenti procurati all’estero dai Lads, dichiarò alla stampa “Margaret Thatcher ci deve condannare pubblicamente ma dentro di sè sarà sicuramente orgogliosa del lavoro fatto dai ragazzi”.. Questo libro si propone come un viaggio attraverso quarant’anni di trasferte oltre Manica dei Casuals britannici al seguito delle selezioni nazionali e delle squadre di club. La narrazione delle principali trasferte può facilmente diventare il paradigma per descrivere centinaia di giornate nelle quali le firms hanno esportato all’estero il loro bagaglio di fedeltà, nazionalismo, alcoolismo e, spesso, anche violenza. Il volume si propone come naturale seguito di “Lads 2009”, dello stesso autore, che illustra la scena attuale dei mobs britannici tra le mura domestiche. Sangue, birra e Red Hand gli ingredienti ricorrenti di un cocktail spesso esplosivo
