Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez has admitted that he is considering quitting the club this summer.
The Argentine has been restricted to just seven Premier League starts this season, but he has still managed to claim four goals for The Reds.
But the former Atletico Madrid ace is not happy about being a squad player at Anfield.

But it is a fact of life that one day he will either move upstairs or call it a day and we must find a replacement for the Emirates hotseat. And, yes, after a seven-year trophy hiatus there are many frustrated Arsenal fans out there who have called for his head.

Fans of quality cinema were seen running for the hills last week when it was announced that Yolanthe Sneijder Cabau will be featuring in Michael Bay's next movie.

This is my first attempt at blogging from a smartphone, so it'll be brief and riddled with errors (probably) but here are 5 quick questionable that arise from yesterday's game.

1 - Does the professional foul rule need to be changed when a penalty is awarded? It seemed a bit ridiculous that the game ender after 10 minutes yesterday after the gentlest of tugs on Theo's shirt.

TweetHatem Ben Arfa stole the limelight after scoring a wonder goal during Newcastle United's 2-0 win over Bolton.

Roma have played down speculation that they are lining up a move for Liverpool ace Luis Suarez.

TweetBolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba could be home in a week as he continues his recovery in the London Chest Hospital. Muamba celebrated his 24th birthday this Good Friday and his rapid recovery following his cardiac arrest during Bolton's FA Cup clash with Tottenham last month has surprised doctors and medics.

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keeping his options open, and even though his biggest defensive midfield target is French star Yann M'Vila, the Frenchman's also keeping tabs on Anderlecht's ace Lucas Biglia. The Argentine defensive midfielder has been linked with a move to Arsenal ever since last summer's transfer window, but even though Wenger [.

"You know, they say ruining a football club is a lot like making love to a beautiful women. First you have to promise her the Earth (or all future ticket revenues) to get into bed with her, then once you've spluffed your meagre wad you pull out and run away as fast as your little legs can carry you!

The post title is not just a tribute to the weekend passing of former Lazio and New York Cosmos ace Giorgio Chinaglia, later known for his flavorful TV commentary and radio show - it was also probably your only recourse for reply when talking to him about soccer.

Perhaps embarrassed by knocking home his 13th goal (and seventh opening strike) of the EPL season with his knee just two minutes in against Norwich, Fulham ace Clint Dempsey quickly followed it up with an elegant assist to Damien Duff.Let's see which happens first: the clip surfacing or another Deuce tally.

TweetSupport for Bolton's Fabrice Muamba continues to pour forward in throes as fellow professionals, fans and followers of the game wish the midfielder the speediest recovery.

Diego Maradona has advised Manchester City striker, and his son in-law Sergio Aguero to transfer to Real Madrid in the summer.

"'El Kun' [Aguero] has to play for Real Madrid. If he does, he can make the next step in his career," the Al Wasl coach told Argentine radio station Radio La Red.
