It's Friday, and that means it is time to look back on five highlights from the week! This week is all about the Champions League, a man who seems to be unable to keep his pants on and a french legend.






Sunday March 7 - Arsenal fan calls for Liverpool's Agger to be banned

Sam Navret, the same Arsenal fan that started the petition for Luis Suarez to be handed over to Arsenal, Sunday launched a new petition to make the FA ban Daniel Agger for his tackling on Jack Wilshere. During England's friendly against, Denmark Agger broke the leg of Wilshere sending him on the sidelined for the title race. According to Sam Navret 'It has been well-known that Liverpool FC have been on a campaign to destroy Arsenal and we, the fans of Arsenal, believe that Daniel Agger was instructed by Liverpool's owner John Henry to target Jack Wilshere during the match.' What's next Sam?

Wednesday March 12 - Tim Sherwood warns Spurs' players

Perform or leave, that seems to the message from Tim Sherwood after the embarrassing loss to Chelsea in the weekend. Wednesday the manager told the press that "It's come to a stage where we have to start looking at pre-season. I'm the one planning it at the moment and looking at different personnel. The boys here have an opportunity to prove that they want to stay. If not, they'll be moved on and we'll look for replacements. I know the DNA of the guys and I know the ones I can trust and those I can't." Yesterday, Tottenham lost 3-1 to Benfica, so maybe a few of the players are already on their way out the door.

Wednesday March 12 - Two out, two to go?

First Arsenal played an entire match in Munich being one step behind Bayern through 90 minutes. Then Manchester City's billionaire boys were learned a lesson by Barcelona... In both matches, the referees were criticised. Fact is that yet another year English football seems to be run over by German and Spanish teams. That said, Manchester United and Chelsea can still bring some pride to England, but with United being behind with two against Olympiacos the faith lies with Chelsea. Next week will show if England has lost their place in European top football.

Thursday March 13 - Oops, I did it again...

Bendtner, Bendtner, Bendtner... just as we thought he was back and had left all the scandals behind him, Bendtner decides to take off his pants and rub his crotch on a taxi. Furthermore, the Danish striker told the taxi driver that he would "Fuck him" as well as kicked the radio in the cab. Wonder if Bendtner wanting to bang a taxi driver is a clear sign to his girlfriend? One thing is for sure: Bendtner's agent will have to do a hard mans work to find the striker a new club this summer.

Thursday March 13 - Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

Back in the days Eric Cantona kicked Crystal Palace fans 'Karate-style'; now he is also assaulting pub guests. The French Manchester United legend was arrested in Primrose Hill, London, after a burst up with a pub guest - which didn't need medical treatment - and was trying to walk away from the police. However, an officer stopped the French and finally, got him placed in the back of the police car. There is currently no news about what had happened or whether the victim will press charges against Cantona.

5. Brian Clough hits fans
 
Brian Clough has always been a rather controversial manager, adding to this reputation in 1989. Clough was manager of the Nottingham Forest team winning 5-2 against QPR, when fans ran into the pitch celebrating. However, Clough was not a fund of the fans reaction and punched two in the face. The two fans were so devoted to Forest and Brian Clough that they both apologised for their behaviour on national television.



4. The Toon fight

In 2005, Newcastle United was behind 3-0 against Aston Villa, however, the worst part of that match was the fight between the team mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer. The bust-up occurred in the 81st minute when the two players squared up after a heated exchange. Lee Bowyer appeared to throw the first punch while Kieron Dyer only defended himself not punching back. However, both players received a red card and apologised to the club and the fans after match, promising it would never happen again.



3. Keegan vs. Bremner

Back in the 70's Billy Bremner was two combative souls. During the 1974's Charity Shield,  a brawl broke out between the two, and both was sent of. As that wasn't enough both players decided to throw their shirts to the ground in aggression, and walked bare-chested from the pitch. Both players were banned for 11 games and fined £500.



 2. Barton vs. Manchester City


Joey Barton is known for his outburst both on and off the pitch. Last year, during the match against Manchester City last season, Barton went mad. First, he elbows Tevez in the face, and was sent off. Then he tried to kicked Agüero before trying to headbutt Micah Richards... Result: 12 games ban.
