Reina has indeed become a poor shadow of himself this season and this is his 5th mistake of the season so far so as well as needing a CB a GK is required as well.

Something that's going to go on for some time.

Claims one match was fixed in England.

The fixed Champions League tie in England took place in "last three or four years";

Manchester United
Chelsea
Arsenal
Liverpool


Unfortunately it has to be one of the clubs listed, not looking forward to it being revealed.

Yes l remember watching that last named game and some of the decisions made that night were simply shocking.

Haven't had time to read through all the details so no idea what time frame this is in.

In my opinion based on not knowing the time frames, the most obvious suspects are.

Manchester United
Chelsea
Arsenal
Liverpool

others being.

Leeds United
Blackburn Rovers
Newcastle United
Manchester City
Spurs.

Unfortunately it has to be one of the clubs listed, not looking forward to it being revealed.

If I had a guess I'd put my bet on Chelsea vs Barcelona at Stamford Bridge, the night the referee had a very suspicious and shocking game.

The match fixed was 'in the last three to four years'. So it cannot be the Chelsea vs Barcelona game.

It will have to be United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs or City.

Not sure If I'm correct, the said game happened in 2009 so would fit in the time frame.

Yeah, you're right. Seems longer! That would be massive if it was that.

Was actually surprised myself and after posting I actually thought it was a longer time ago too. That's my bet at the minute but again it could be a simple group game in which the English team was already through.

Example being, one of the teams listed intentionally lost their remaining game because they were already through to the last rounds, losing to a much lesser team, so any ring betting on massive underdogs would have made quite a bit of money.

So many possibilities but it'd be even more destructive to the club if they threw a game in the knockout stages.

And apparently they say this is the tip of the iceberg.

What l want to know is what matches are involved in the match fixing.

remember Napoli throwing the game at Chelsea?

It's very unlikely to be at club level. I.E A whole club throwing the game. The risks are too great and the reward too small for the club themselves, getting kicked out of the Champions League costs a lot more than winning a betting scam.

It will be an official or player who are told to help the bookies' favourite team win.

That's open to question.
