Said & Done

Man of the week Manuel Burga – head of Peru's FA: says six Peru players who hired prostitutes at a casino after a defeat to Panama "lack morals". Burga: "This scandal is deeply painful. There's so much hypocrisy from these players. The saying is true: a tree born crooked will never grow straight." (2006 – Burga survives a Peru government attempt to prosecute him over alleged "gross ongoing corruption" after Sepp intervened to block it. Fifa: "We cannot allow governments to interfere in football affairs.") Meanwhile Suspended from "all football activity" last week by Fifa's ethics committee: former executive Ismael Bhamjee , caught up in the cash-for-votes sting. Fifa: the action proves "our zero tolerance to any alleged breach of ethics". (Bhamjee's record before last week, which hadn't earned a Fifa ban from all football activities: 2006 – caught in a sting touting tickets at the World Cup for three times face value, supplementing his £270 daily Fifa expenses. "I got myself in a mess," Bhamjee said. "I've been a fool.") Quotes of the week • Sepp on the biggest villains this month: "Is it appropriate how the media trapped some members of the executive committee? Why did they do it? We talk about fair play in sport – that must apply to the media too." • Former executive committee member Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder on how the scandal has been over-played: "Look, Fifa is not a pile of corrupt people. It is just that some of them took a wrong turn." • And Claudio Sulser on how life has turned out for him as head of Fifa's ethics committee: "I did not expect to be kept so busy." And finally New for Sulser this week: German magazine Kicker claiming they paid £1,700 to receive the full answers to FIfa's agents licence exam. Their reporter, posing as an agent, was sent the answers by text message the night before sitting the test. Fifa is yet to comment. Elsewhere Last week's best allegation: £8m paid in bungs "concealed inside large teddy bears" to Uefa executive committee members in 2007, in return for them backing Poland and Ukraine as 2012 hosts instead of Italy. Italian MPs have called for an inquiry; Romanian authorities are investigating their Uefa executive, who denies wrongdoing; Uefa say they are taking legal action against the source: "We will protect our corporate image." Pledge of the week Emmanuel Adebayor – says reports he wants to quit Manchester City are misleading. "My row with the manager was not about money or egos. It was because we all want what is best for the team. I have never regretted joining City. I am committed to this club and the fans know that." (2 October: "I can see myself in black and white stripes [at Juventus]. I have talked it over with Patrick Vieira. I nearly moved there once before. Something has to change.") • Adebayor's previous best pledge: 6 May 2009 – attacking reports he wants to leave Arsenal. "Next season, 100%, I am an Arsenal footballer!" Number crunching £819k : Amount Arsenal raised from fans and staff last season for official Arsenal charity Great Ormond Street. Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said the figure was "extraordinary". "I am proud of this club." £880k : Gazidis's bonus, benefits plus pension contribution last year – plus £938k basic.

Best comeback Comeback of the week: marking the end of his 10-month drug ban – Adrian Mutu , breaking a waiter's nose during a meal celebrating his friend's daughter's baptism. Fiorentina manager Sinisa Mihajlovic: "We are sorry for the waiter. Maybe we will invite him to a game." Women's lib latest Turkey : Sources at Buca FC say they closed the club's successful women's team because the players "look like men". "I was really upset when I heard," said player Esin Yilmaz. "I cried." A Buca fan told the media: "A woman's place is at home. Women must be soft and tender, not full of muscles." Buca reinstated the team on appeal. And finally: love news Model Amalia Granata says she's happy to have moved on to a non-football boyfriend after last year's relationship with River Plate's Cristian Fabbiani.
