Il Chelsea ha travolto l’ Aston Villa con un clamoroso sette a uno , confermandosi un credibile concorrente per aggiudicarsi la “EPL”. al pari del Man U che ha vinto quattro a zero contro il Bolton.  Una delle altre contendenti al titolo finale, l’Arsenal, è stato, invece, fermato sul campo della rivelazione Birmingham. Malissimo il West Ham la cui posizione in ottica salvezza si è fatta ancora più complicata dopo ilcapitombolo interno con lo Stoke City. In Scozia i Rangers ( fans in foto )  si sono largamente imposti sul campo degli Hearts con il punteggio di quattro a uno. La capolista del campionato, dopo essere stata momentaneamente raggiunta dai padroni di casa, ha chiuso il match tra la fine del primo tempo e l’ inizio della ripresa. Sono tornati al successo anche i Celtic alla loro prima uscita dopo l’esonero del disastroso allenatore Mowbrey, con un 3-1 sul Kilmarnock.

Frank Lampard scored his 150th Chelsea goal as they threw the gauntlet down to Premier League pace-setters Manchester United by destroying Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard’s four goals, including two from the penalty spot, were the centrepiece of an emphatic Chelsea victory as they followed up their 5-0 midweek win at Portsmouth with another goal-laden attacking display.And as coach Carlo Ancelotti insisted the disappointment of their Champions League exit at the hands of Inter Milan may yet aid their attempts to regain the title, Chelsea’s embarrassing superiority over a Villa side with sights set on the top four provides the perfect tonic for next Saturday’s visit to Old Trafford.It was a win made all the more impressive because it was achieved without main marksman Didier Drogba, who was rested on the substitutes’ bench after picking up a knock in the midweek victory at Fratton Park. To say he was not missed is an understatement.Lampard gave Chelsea an early lead when he converted Florent Malouda’s cross at the far post, but John Carew quickly put Villa level after good work by Ashley Young.The game took a crucial twist right on half-time when Lampard put Chelsea back in front from the spot after Yuri Zhirkov was brought down by James Collins – and there was no way back for Villa as Ancelotti’s side cut loose after the interval.Malouda took advantage of more fine work from Zhirkov to beat Friedel, and Lampard completed his hat-trick with another penalty. He made his mark in Chelsea history by slipping his spot-kick comfortably past Villa keeper Brad Friedel after another run from the rampant Zhirkov drew a foul from Dunne.Villa crumbled and Malouda piled on the agony after he was set up by Lampard and substitute Salomon Kalou made it six when he shot low past Friedel after Nicolas Anelka had been given what seemed like an age to turn in the area.It was fitting that Lampard rounded off the rout with his fourth goal in the dying seconds, turned in inside the area as Villa gave every impression of a side who simply could not wait for the whistle to sound.And as if this was not enough to ignite ecstasy around Stamford Bridge, the roars were deafening as news of Birmingham City’s late equaliser against Arsenal filtered through.Villa actually made the brighter start and won a succession of corners, so it was against the run of play that Lampard made the breakthrough for Chelsea after 14 minutes. Villa’s defence allowed Malouda’s driven cross to fly right across the face of goal, leaving Lampard to steal in for a sliding finish at the far post.The goal should have banished Chelsea’s early uncertainty, but they were also guilty of defensive carelessness as Villa drew level just before the half-hour.Again it was a cross that caused the problem as Young delivered into the area, Zhirkov appearing blissfully unaware of the giant Carew’s presence behind him as he let the cross go, presenting the striker with the simplest of finishes.Chelsea ended an undistinguished first half, which gave little hint of the riches to come, in the ascendancy as Lampard restored their lead from the spot a minute before the interval.Referee Peter Walton pointed to the spot as Zhirkov went down under challenge from James Collins as he raced into the area, leaving Lampard to thrash the penalty beyond Friedel.If Villa had any plans to mount a second half revival, they were swept away as Chelsea ran riot after the break in brilliant fashion.Malouda made it three for Chelsea after 57 minutes when he swept in Zhirkov’s inviting cross – and the Russian was instrumental as they extended their lead, allowing Lampard to complet his treble from the spot five minutes later.Zhirkov surged into the area and was upended by Dunne. Lampard stepped forward to beat Friedel again and reach his landmark goals tally.Villa boss Martin O’Neill was pondering the introduction of Stewart Downing when the outstanding Malouda made it five after 68 minutes. Lampard filled the role of creator in another move that sliced Villa apart, simply rolling the ball into Malouda’s path inside the area and he rifled a finish high past Friedel.O’Neill’s side had degenerated into a shambles, and Kalou and Lampard inflicted further late punishment before Villa were put out of their abject misery.

Rangers’ inexorable march towards the title continued with an impressive win over Hearts at Tynecastle.

Danny Wilson headed the visitors into a fifth-minute lead only for Suso Santana to level with a wonderful volley.On the half hour, Kenny Miller added a diving header after Steven Naismith had smashed a shot against the crossbar.Naismith shot home early in the second half and powered in a free header from a Steven Davis free kick late on to complete the scoring.Regardless of other results, the victory leaves Walter Smith’s side needing to win four or their remaining nine games to seal a second successive championship.Rangers were back at full strength after fielding a weakened side in the midweek Scottish Cup loss at Dundee United and the visitors made a strong start to an absorbing first half.With five minutes gone, Wilson scored his first goal for Rangers, the teenage defender rising above Ruben Palazuelos to meet a free kick from Kevin Thomson and finding the net with a smart downward header.Hearts responded well, with Laryea Kingston and Santana eye-catching in midfield, and Allan McGregor saved from an angled Gary Glen strike.A poor kick from Jamie MacDonald almost had Hearts in trouble when it went straight to Kris Boyd but the striker’s control was clumsy and the keeper able to smother the danger.The home side equalised on 16 minutes when Santana pounced on a terrible miscue from Sasa Papac to dip a tremendous volley across the bows of McGregor and inside the far post.MacDonald made a great save to deny Davis as the Rangers midfielder cut in from the edge of penalty box and took aim for far top corner.With Rangers again uncertain at the back, Glen could only fire over the crossbar from eight yards when the ball landed at his feet via a defender’s shins.MacDonald then produced an excellent double save, racing from his line to block at the feet of Boyd before back-pedalling furiously to tip away Miller’s strike from 20 yards.However, the Hearts custodian was picking the ball out of the net from Miller’s header on 31 minutes.Boyd nodded a Davis delivery into the path of Naismith and when the midfielder’s powerful strike cannoned off the crossbar Miller was in the right place to apply the finishing touch.The second half was three minutes old when Rangers increased their advantage, with Steven Whittaker setting up Naismith to clip the ball beyond the advancing MacDonald.Hearts forward David Obua squandered a great chance to immediately reduce the deficit when he powered a free header straight at McGregor.And, following a corner kick, the Rangers keeper had to work a little harder to tip away a header from Marius Zaliukas on 58 minutes.Hearts continued to graft but had lost their earlier threat and they fell further behind in the final quarter when Naismith grabbed his second goal of the day.The home defence was posted missing from a Davis free kick and the former Kilmarnock forward was completely unmarked as he planted a strong header home from near the penalty spot.Hearts were denied a consolation goal when David Templeton jinked his way past two challenges only to see his goal-bound shot blocked by Wilson before fellow substitute Scott Robinson ballooned over the top with the goal at his mercy.

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
