What does former Red, Craig Johnson think he is on about?He is quoted in The Star as saying: "Has
he lost the dressing room? Six defeats in eight games would say that he has."The former Liverpool
fancy-dan has got that one wrong, big time.Despite our poor run of form, the players have not lost
faith in Rafa Benitez, as anyone who has seen Liverpool's performances will tell you that they have
given 100% commitment in every game.

Yet another advert hot off the Nike production line and this one has Cesc Fabregas
advertising the new CTR360 Maestri boots.
It's genius in my opinion as it shows Cesc being the midfield maestro that he is, but in a Bond
Villain-esque way. The boots are apparently not bad either as my captain (and centre half) has said
that he's tempted to get rid of all his shoes and just wear these boots, as they are the most
comfortable shoes he's had.

"Zoran, you know I said I'd kill you last? I lied."I can get a handle on the mysterious disappearance of Zoran Tosic only by imagining the following
scenario: Fergie ordered Nemanja Vidic – it would be Vidic, who closely resembles a James Bond
henchman – to dump Tosic in some disused Manchester canal, concrete football boots and all.

Although I didn't have the pleasure of reading lots of comic books growing up, I have plenty of

The young American brand and outfitter of Hannover 96 Under Armour provides a look behind
the scenes of the production of their new football boots. I found it pretty astonishing that it
takes about five months from the first scrawls to the finished and actual shoe. On the other hand,
I never really thought about it.

He was know as "Skippy" during his long spell at Liverpool and for those of us who were lucky
enough to watch him play, we can all agree that there's only one Craig Johnston. Whilst he never
truly made his mark like many legends before and after him, Craig made his impact at the club in
another way: opening doors for Aussies after him to have a shot in the Premier League.

It's pissing down in Soreang, the pitch is like a swimming pool. Persib go into this game minus
strikers Cristian Gonzales, Hilton Moreia and Lorenzo Cabanas who probably aren't too disappointed.
Their team mates need golashes, not football boots.
By rights the game shouldn't be going ahead.

Fair enough. Cristiano Ronaldo's impact on the Bundesliga or the German football in general is
not really worth to mention. Okay there was Portugal's EURO '08 quarter-final loss or the whole
bunch of young show-offs with golden football boots who try to copy this Manchester United
poser.
At the same time is Real Madrid not only since the 2-6 disaster against Barcelona in San
Bernabeu on the hunt for new players to make their team competitive again for the next season.
