Tears? Over a sport I'm watching to keep my mind off other things? Silly Gyppos. 

Preparing your retreat from the inevitable, ha?

Personally I'd like Liverpool to win and then Newcastle to pip Spurs and Chelsea for 4th.

LONDON —

Chelsea says a section of its fans "embarrassed" the club by singing and jeering during a minute's silence to pay respects to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster in 1989 and the death of Livorno midfielder Piermario Morosini.

The jeering occurred before kickoff in Sunday's FA Cup semifinal at Wembley Stadium.

Chelsea released a statement saying the club "is extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club today by not honoring the moment's silence."

Interim Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo added that he was "extremely disappointed" by the fans' actions.

Morosini collapsed and died Saturday after suffering a heart attack during a Serie B game in Italy.

Heh, that is about the club acknowledging embarrasment over those assholes.

It's not like I became a fan because of the Shed end of the stadium

Antonio Di Natale says Udinese have promised to take care of the sister of Piermario Morosini, who died during a Serie B game on Saturday. Morosini, who was 25 years old, was on loan from Udinese at Livorno when he suffered a cardiac arrest playing against Pescara.

The former Italy Under-21 international is survived by his severely disabled older sister. His mother passed away when he was 15, his father died soon after and his disabled brother killed himself.

Udinese's captain Di Natale said: "We know the situation of his sister and we as a team, the club, and Udinese for Life have decided to help her because she is in real need. It is essential to stay by the side of Piermario's sister for her entire life. She needs us and we want to help, both for her and for Mario.

"When I saw the scene on the TV it was immediately clear that it was something serious. It was a very bad moment. He was an exceptional lad, so full of life. Despite all the problems he had, he was always at the disposal of the team and every day he gave us all strength."

The Italian Football Association (FIGC) cancelled all Serie A fixtures in the wake of Morosini's death.

So sad all around. Brother was a suicide, mom and dad died early in his life, and he was taking care of his disabled sister by himself. Good to see Udinese step up and look after his sister.
