Last season Rafael Benitez had the nerve to criticise Everton fans for the songs they were singing
about Steven Gerrard, bringing to life the rumour that he isn't actually the father of his wife's
children. Remember all those rumours about the scouse gangster called 'Pancake'? Well anyway, he
blasted them for being disrespectful.
To avoid any possible confusion should anyone be typing in terms to search engines looking for
Argentine national team news today, I'll start by pointing out that this has nothing at all to
do with the Olympic Football Tournament. Argentina's senior side (minus Riquelme and Mascherano of
course) take on Belarus in Minsk at 8pm local [.
The squad as expected by the Argentine press (and subsequently here) prior to Diego Maradona's
first press conference as Argentina boss yesterday turned out to be not quite accurate, so here's
the list as announced by the man himself in that press conference, along with a bit of opinion (my
own and others') on it.
A manager's success is directly tied to the players he recruits, so naturally, the manager needs to
make his money count. Clubs always have reservations about making money available to their manager,
especially when players like David Nugent are bought for £6 million, but these ten buys were
truly divine.
In 1994, when Diego Maradona played his last match for Argentina, you could have got very long odds
on him one day becoming the manager of the national side. What about the likelihood that his first
match in charge would take place against the same country he scored his first senior international
goal against?
Diego Maradona's first match in charge of Argentina saw few surprises. Against improving and
tenacious opponents, a big win was never on the cards, but those who've doubted the wisdom of
Maradona's appointment can take some encouragement from a performance in which the Albiceleste
actually played like a team.
Wayne Rooney has just been elected the ugliest player in the world, at least according to 33% of
the 2,500 women polled by www.thepeoplesclub.com. "Shrek" (as the Man Utd striker is
affectionately, or not-so-affectionately rather, nicknamed) is however judged to be the perfect
mate for girlfriend (and soon-to-be wife) Coleen McLoughlin, the latter indeed [.
The AFA will hold their press conference in a few hours' time to allow Diego Armando Maradona to
announce his first Argentina squad (read on to see who's made it), and already there's controversy
surrounding the nature of the appointment (not to mention the exclusions of three key players).
Maradona declared on Radio La Red [.
There's nary a quiet day when it comes to transfer speculation, so even the weekend provides at
least a few good rumors to digest. Here's a look at some of the top transfer rumors from the
weekend. Since I've been away for a while, I'm packing this one full of juicy rumors. [...]
Even at Standard de Liege, Marouane Fellaini was probably making some decent scratch. Like enough
to have that thing between his eyes taken care of professionally. Now that he's hit the limelight
as Everton's record signing and the most expensive Belgian ever, he may want to bump it up the
list. At least give it [.
As if to prove that he can put together quite a handy team without including the Olympic-bound
Lionel Messi, Juan Román Riquelme, Sergio Agüero et al, Alfio Basile has named the
Argentina squad to face Belarus in a friendly in Minsk, two weeks from today (Weds). There are a
couple of surprises in the all-Europe [.
It's a sad week for Manchester United fans, learning that both Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez are
on their way out of the club. Who'd have thought, just over a year after joining United, Sir Alex
Ferguson is ready to ship them out. You've got to love the British press... The News of the World
ran an [.
Lionel Messi made a return to the starting lineup for Barcelona; Internazionale stumbled at the top
of Serie; Carlos Tevez helped take Manchester United through to the 6th round of the FA Cup, whilst
Javier Mascherano did likewise for Liverpool, where he may soon be joined by Pablo Aimar. Lionel
Scaloni, meanwhile, has already moved to [.
The Argentina squad for the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers against Paraguay in Buenos Aires, and Peru in
Lima, has been almost finalised prior to the weekend's domestic action in Argentina, after which
three Boca Juniors players will be added to the list. Alfio Basile has called up Getafe defender
Daniel Díaz to replace Nicolás Burdisso, [.
Every Friday Premiership Talk releases a list of five important things/topics/people to look for in
the coming season. This week's special sees Premiership Talk focus on the five goalscorers to look
for.
- Fernando Torres. The pacy Spaniard finished last season with 24 Premier League goals, and he
will be looking to better that this season.
"Someone Should Have Told Tevez It Was Only The Community Shield" was originally
published at The Republik of Mancunia.
What will Diego Maradona's appointment as manager of Argentina mean for the fans and players of the
national team? You can find out on Soccernet, where I've written a terrible first paragraph and an
otherwise pretty good (I hope) article on the new technical team for the selección. You can
read it here.
The Daily Mail reports that Man Utd striker Carlos Tevez claims he is nackered from a gruelling
wall-to-wall football schedule.Tevez claimed in an interview with an Argentine radio station that:
"I am playing 70 or 80 per cent of what I can give, I finish games very tired. In the last 25
minutes [.
The publication of this editorial got pushed back by a few days because I was ill earlier in the
week not not up to spending too much time typing, but it's coincided nicely with the Arab new year.
We've got a few readers in that part of the world, so happy new year to all [...]
For the minority of people who actually feel a degree of sympathy for John Terry after hitting the
post with his penalty on Wednesday night, perhaps this footage might sway things a little. It
appears that the Chelsea captain, who's been described as a man's man (whatever that means),
decides to get up close and [.
Is it possible to be too old to win a title? Sir Alex Ferguson certainly thinks so. According to
him, Chelsea are too old to win a title. At least, that's how the Guardian interpreted Sir Alex's
comments (and far be it for someone to suggest that a British newspaper somehow [...]
Four years after the gold in Athens, another 1-0 scoreline confirmed Argentina as Olympic football
champions. In 2004, the match-winning goal had been scored by a certain Carlos Tevez; this year in
Beijing, salvation came from above. "Little Angel" Di María flapped his celestial
wings and delivered a fatal blow to finalists Nigeria, exploiting an [.
Four years ago it was Carlos Tevez, on Saturday Benfica's Angel Di María secured his place in
Argentine football history by becoming the second man to score a gold medal-winning goal for his
country in the Olympic Football Tournament. In a final played in scorching heat in the Bird's Nest
Stadium in Beijing, Argentina rode [.

There was a time when Manchester United fans cringed whenever we were linked with a player from
South America, following a dreadful history of players originating from the continent playing in
our shirt. However, following the emergence of Carlos Tevez, Anderson, the Da Silva twins and
Rodrigo Possebon, is it safe to say the curse is [.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are the favorites to sign Karim
Benzema. Call it simple process of elimination more than breaking news, but here goes. Real Madrid,
the club that the Lyon star has been a fan of since childhood, would appear to be out of the race
for the [.
After plenty of rumors during the past few months, official photographs of Manchester United's new
away shirt for the 2008/2009 season have been released. Modeling the new kit were Rio Ferdinand,
Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez. The Sun newspaper also has video from the launch of the new away
kit. Share your thoughts regarding what you think [.
So, Manchester United has picked up another piece of silverware after beating Portsmouth 3-1 on
penalties in the annual curtain raiser to the new season. The game, which ended 0-0 in regular
time, was a bit of a sleeper at times with Man United controlling large portions of the match but
unable to score.
Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez talked today about the two Argentine signings Newcastle have
made in the summer. Tevez - two excellent signings for Newcastle United
Newly-appointed Argentina manager and living football legend, Diego Maradona is now in England
visiting several key Argentine players. He's met with Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano at their
respective clubs and had asked the latter to be his new captain. While on tour, Maradona took some
memorable pictures with several Manchester United players.
The photograph in The Guardian shows a member of the Chelsea groundstaff with a clenched fist and
having to restrained by one of his colleagues. It's not clear whether Patrice Evra is also looking
to engage in combat, although he's being flanked by Park Ji Sung, with a number of stewards
surrounding the altercation.
United desperately need another forward. But who? C-Ron is out for two months, Louis Saha is made
of glass, Fraizer Campbell is too raw... the attacking back-up to Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney -
neither of whom are orthodox strikers...
Manchester United will have been flabbergasted by Manchester City's shock last minute, albeit
uncompleted, move for Dimitri Berbatov. The Bulgarian forward was all set to be the spearhead
of what would have been the most potent striking force in the Premiership. However as City's
bid was accepted United are in a whole lot of bother; with no [.

Since Manchester United's unforgettable, treble-clinching Champions League triumph over Bayern
Munich in 1999, Sir Alex Ferguson has added several more memories - and trophies - in a tenure at
the club that has now surpassed the two-decade mark. But, the one thing that has eluded Fergie
since that night in Barcelona is another [.
Sergio Batista has added another name to Argentina's squad for the Olympic Football Tournament in
August. Or, more specifically, for the friendly against Catalunya in Camp Nou on Saturday.
Nicolás Pareja, the young defender for Anderlecht of Belgium, joins up with the rest of the
squad, some of whom flew to Barcelona from Buenos Aires [.

Watched Manchester United's 07/08 Season Review over the weekend (grab the torrent here) and it was
quite an entertaining 2 and half hours. It also gave me some perspective on the season that went by
- perspective that I think is useful considering the Ronaldo saga, the transfer speculation this
summer and for predicting [.
With six minutes remaining in extra time before the penalty shoot out, Carlos Tevez kicked the ball
out of play, to return possession to Chelsea. Just before, Joe Cole went down 'injured' with
Chelsea playing the ball in to touch. From the resultant throw-in, United gave the ball back in the
form of a throw-in [.
Carlos Tevez quickly won the United crowd with his brilliant attitude and great ability, although
we were already rather partial to him following his time at Corinthians. Back in 2005, Tevez showed
up at a press conference in Sao Paulo press conference wearing a United shirt. He was fined
£13,000 for doing so.
