Ran along, not stopped in front of them shouting hysterically and trying his bes to find the Liverbird upon his chest to kiss.

Club captain runs the length of the field to taunt opposition fans. Classless if you ask me. I would not want Gerrard to do that.

Well Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Schevchenko, Gilardino, Dida and Nesta are not exactly old. It is the likes of Maldini, Cafu and to a lesser extent Stam, Rui Costa and Seedorf who are getting on.

8.5m is what Benfica are asking for him according to the Italian media.

They deserve a final for their efforts this season.

I voted for Owen. 7 goals in 8 starts. There has been no real outstanding England player but he has delivered the goods.

All at a Barragan (sic)

It was not an easy goal because the ball did not just drop at his feet with him just having to hit it right. He nicked it off the keeper, sidestepped him, looked up and curled it so tha the defender scrambling back sis not have any chance of getting to it. Fantastic goal.

Wasn't it Cisse's 1st peno miss for us?

What if he'd shut up and not mention specific illnesses? I am not outraged with the statement, I just think it was silly.

I thought he did put in a great tackle at one point.

Besides his great goals he is also putting in a lot of great tackles and making great interceptions. Fantastic player.

Ballack is never a Vieira replacement. They can easily play together in the same team. Link is here http://www.calciomercato.com/modules.php?name=titolone ..........in Italian though. Basically it says: The mystery surrounding Michael Ballack's future continues. However, according to sources in Germany the midfielder signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus that will see him join them on the 1st of July 2006. Despite the ongoing war of words between the directors of both clubs (Bayern and Juve) and talk of the many clubs interested in Ballack (Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Man Utd), both Moggi (Juventus director) and Rumenigge have admitted in private that the midfielder is off to Turin.

I think the reaction happened because he referred to Malaria when it is a disease that kills many in Africa and Chelsea have the likes of Essien, Drogba and Geremi going to Africa for the nations cup. A stupid comment to make if you ask me.

.......Juventus. Apparently joining them on a free in July.

Great stuff. Rafa's sofa from the January sales sorted.
