Barry Daily Comment:  

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WILL GROW AND GROW
 Europe's top clubs have agreed to increase the Champions League from 24 to 32 teams, ending 
 the immediate threat of a traitorous cartel of Europe's finest setting up a breakaway Super  
 League with an exclusive TV deal.
 Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter Milan were among 14 of Europe's self-styled big boys
 who agreed to increase the current 24-team format, urging Uefa to launch the expanded
 competition next season. Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Porto and Marseille will
 discuss details of the changes with Uefa, who will fine-tune the plan, and settle the fate of
 the Cup Winners Cup in December.

Subject: Scholes out of England match LONDON, Nov 17 - Manchester United's Paul Scholes on Tuesday became the lastest striker to be ruled out of England's friendly with the Czech Repbublic. Scholes has not overcome a hamstring strain and is definitely out of Wednesday's game at Wembley. Also out are Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham, while Emile Heskey is very doubtful. The injury list means an almost certain start for Dion Dublin with Ian Wright and Paul Merson, who both missed training with slight knocks on Tuesday, also hoping to play.

Subject: Hoddle: I will take Beckham to task Tuesday, November 17, 1998 Glenn Hoddle will hold another heart-to-heart with David Beckham about the player's behaviour - a move that is set to reignite the war of words between the England coach and Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson. Hoddle plans to speak to Beckham before England's international against the Czech Republic at Wembley tomorrow in another attempt to curb the excesses in his game. At Old Trafford on Saturday, Beckham was involved in an incident with Tim Sherwood that saw the Blackburn Rovers captain sent off for illegal use of his elbow. After being tripped by Sherwood, Beckham got to his feet and ran towards him in retaliation, only to be poleaxed. Already the Manchester United star has received one red and four yellow cards in 19 games for his country and Hoddle said: 'I will be speaking to him about what happened. There is still an element that can be improved on and he has got to deal with it. But I don't think he is a marked man. I believe he has been given a fair crack of the whip and that he has been left alone. 'There is a lot of pressure on him but he's trying to improve and that is the main thing. He is trying to deal with the situation and he wants to put it right. I see great performances from him and the positive thing is that he is making goals and scoring them, too. 'I haven't spoken to Alex Ferguson about it. I will talk with David myself, but the more talk there is about the problem, the more pressure there is likely to be on him.' Beckham has been the victim of a hate campaign ever since he was sent off against Argentina in the World Cup last summer. That followed two other incidents while playing for England that suggested his temper is on a permanent short fuse. He was booked during Le Tournoi last year after refusing to leave the pitch on a stretcher after being injured. Then, during England's World Cup warm-up in Casablanca, he tried to manhandle the referee in the drawn match against Belgium. Already this season he has served one European ban - and it appears the penny has still not dropped. But Ferguson may not take kindly to the fact that Hoddle is still concerned about Beckham's behaviour and plans to speak to the player before seeking his club manager's opinion.

Tuesday 17 November 1998 Subject: PAST MASTERS Former Stars Ready For Some 'Sixy' Football And You Can Win Tickets To Be There To See It SOME of the biggest names of the 1970s and 1980s will be on show in Manchester on Thursday night when they contest the Masters League Football Tournament - a six-a-side event which is being held at the Manchester Evening News Arena. Stars from Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal will be taking part in the event and it promises to be what people in the PR game would call 'a feast of fun and football'. Alan Kennedy will be lining up for Liverpool alongside the likes of Phil Neal, Mark Lawrenson, Jan Molby and John Aldridge and he can't wait for the action to start: "It should be an excellent night and I'm really pleased that the PFA have organised this event. It's hoped that there will be several more around the country during the course of the season, and it's just a pity these events weren't going on a few years ago. You have to be over 35 to play, so for me it's come nine years too late! It's great to see old friends because we don't get that many chances to get together but it will be very serious on the pitch. The Liverpool side has just started up so, while we might be favourites on paper, it might be a different story once we get out on the pitch." The event is taking place this Thursday, November 19, and tickets are available from Ticketmaster, the MEN Arena and selected outlets of HMV in Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Stockport, Chester and Leeds. They are priced at £10 each, with £8 concessions. There are also a limited number of VIP tickets, priced £15. For more info, call the Manchester Evening News Arena on 0161 930 8000. AND HERE'S WHERE YOU WIN TICKETS!... We've got ten pairs to give away and all you have to do is answer this insultingly simple question: Against which team did Alan Kennedy score the winning goal in Liverpool's 1-0 European Cup Final win in 1981? E-mail your answer to us at TheEditor@football365.co.uk. Get your answer in by 1pm on Wednesday afternoon. The winners will be informed by e-mail and the tickets will be left on the door of the arena for collection on the night.
