Double blow for Liverpool

June 26th 2009 10:05
This week could see Liverpool being dealt a massive double blow with Javier Mascherano set to join Barcelona and Xabi Alonso hoping for a move to Real Madrid. If the two players were to leave it would make a massive hole in Liverpools midfield and dent their championship aspirations. The two plaers have been the centre piece around which the team is slowly being created and replacing them will be difficult. A bid for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas would make all Liverpool fans happy, but he has his heart set on a move back home to Spain.

WHO WILL WE GET TO FILL THE HOLE

Fabregas Frustrated

June 25th 2009 10:03
The transfer market has gone pretty quite of late. That was until Arsenals Cesc Fabregas set off a transfer scramble by admitting he his frustrated by the lack of silver ware at the club.
"Cristiano [Ronaldo] said he's leaving Manchester United because he had nothing else to win. For me right now it is the exact opposite" he said

"This year we wanted it, we were giving everything – but we couldn't reach the level that everyone expected of Arsenal. When you win, you're well. But when you don't, everyone is in a bad mood. For four years now, we've needed a title to regain our belief in ourselves."

Although Fabregas and his family are Barcelona fans at heart he went on to hint that a move to Real Madrid could be on the cards.

"Of course my family would understand if I signed for Real Madrid because they love me, they want me to be happy and what is best for me. They'd support me – whichever club I joined. My family will always be there for me – whatever decision I make.

"They're the ones who are always by my side."

Liverpool get new funds

June 21st 2009 12:36
The financial cloud that has been hanging over Liverpool football club has lifted somewhat after co owner George Gillet sold his stake in Ice Hockey team The Montreal Canadiens for a whopping $660 million. There had been reports that Liverpool may have to sell off some of their prized assets to cover mounting debts, but now it looks as though that will not happen and that Manager Rafael Benitez will have a healthy transfer kitty to build on their second place finish last season.

Sleep Paralysis

June 21st 2009 12:21
If anyone has ever suffered from sleep paralysis it can be quite a scary experience. It occurs because the body becomes paralised during a certain stage of the sleep process. If you awak suddenly during this time your body will be un able to move but your mind is working clearly. Another scary part can be that dream residules will cross over and you may feel a presence in the room. It is this phenomenon that is thought to be behind the alien abduction stories.

This brings me to my own experience. I was dreaming of a police chase. I had murdered somone by chopping off their heads. The police chased me everywhere. It was an exciting and enthrawling dream until I awoke and found I couldn't move and to make it worse the head of the person I had murdered was next to me. I could sense it and hear it speaking to me. I tried to scream but nothing came out

Chelsea out bid Liverpool

June 19th 2009 09:34
Chelsea have had a bid of around $35 million excepted for former playter Glen Johnson. Johnson was sold by the club to Portsmouth for just $8 million a short time ago after he fell out of favour and was looking to re build his career. He is now an England regular and is now one of the hottest properties in football. It had looked as though LIverpool would win the race for his signature but money bags Abrhamovic has reached deep in to his pockets and come up with some extra cash.

Just a few seasons a go the fee would have been seen as quite ridiculous but with the recent $160 million transfer of Ronaldo to Real Madrid $35 million don't look all that bad.

Rafa Signings?

June 17th 2009 06:40
It looks as though Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is set to make his first signings of what may be a busy summer for the club. It looks like the side that finished the season insecond place will beat off Chelsea and sign England right back Glen Johnson from Portsmouth for a fee of around $20 million. Johnson had a fantastic season last year cementing his place in the England side and Benitez sees him as ideal for strengthening a defence that will be without Sami Hyppia next season.

It also looks like Real Madrid star Javier Saviola will become Fernando Torres strike partner for the 2009/10 season. Saviola has struggled to hold down a first team spot in Madrid and with the arrivals of Ronaldo and Kaka so far this summer it looks like he will be out of the door and wearing the red of Liverpool in cut price $10million deal

Ebay dream

June 17th 2009 00:01
I like to dabble on ebay. It makes me a little extra cash but nothing like the amount that I dreamt about last night. I am currently trying to sell the special edition centennial issue of the National Geographic magazine. In my dream I went on to the computer to check how it was going. When I saw that after just one day the amount had reached $45,000 my stoch churned with delight and I was already spending the money in my head. When I awoke I still had a smile from ear to ear but that soon faded when I checked the item for real and found that no one has yet beid on the item.

I feel that this dream was tracking my hopes for my ebay dabbling. That one day i will find an item that is very rare that will make me a lot of money.

Torres "I will never play for Utd"

June 16th 2009 23:54
Liverpools Spanish star Fernando Torres has hit out at rumours he will sign for arch rivals Manchester Utd by saying that he would never sign for the English giants. In an exclusive interview with Britains Daily Star newspaper Torres pledged his allegence to his current club and talked about how nice it would be if countryman David Villa were to join him at Anfield.

"Listen, my team is Liverpool and this is very clear to me." He said. “This club has it all – the history, the prestige, the fans, the organisation.It’s a big responsibility to give the fans here the success they desire, but the challenge is always exhilarating and this is why I was delighted to sign a new contract

Santa Cruz to save Mark Hughes

June 16th 2009 23:47
There is no doubt that Mark Hughes is very lucky to still be the Manchester City boss after spending big last season and failing to deliver. He is hoping that spending even more cash will save his job and give the City board and fans what they want, which is a champions league spot, at least. He has already signed Gareth Barry from Aston Villa for $24 million and it now looks as though Blackburns Roque Santa Cruz will also be joining him for upwards of $30million. Hughes will be hoping that the Paraguyan striker will make a devestating partnership with Brazilian Robinho, but with Barcelona sniffing around that may not happen.

Who will replace Ronaldo

June 16th 2009 07:03
Sir Alex Ferguson has $160 million burning a hole in his back pocket and no one to spend it on. Manchester Utd are desperate to strengthen their squad after superstar Ronaldo left to sign for Real Madrid in what was a world record transfer deal. Ferguson wants to bring French international striker Karim Benzema as well as Franck Ribery to the club, but it looks like he will miss out on both with Benzema ready to sign for Barcelona and Real Madrid sporting director Zinedine Zidane confirming that the club is in discussions with Ribery.

On top of Ronldo's departure it looks as if Carlos Tevez could be on his way as well as Dimitar Berbatov who has been a big dissapointment since his big money move from Tottenham. This will leave Wayne Rooney as the only recognised striker and with not much talent upfor grabs around the world it looks like Manchester Utd could be in for a lean year

Its very hard to say but she isn't helping by keeping him around, he is comfortable he knows he wont lose her no matter what, he doesn't feel like what he is doing is that bad because if it was she would leave. all you can do is keep being a friend because she will need you if he carries on, it will all blow up in his face one day i hope it just isn't to bad.
