Alberto Aquilani is expected to make his debut for Liverpool against Arsenal on Wednesday night but Arsene Wenger has revealed that the Italian could have been donning the red shirt of the home side.
Aquilani joined Liverpool from Roma for a fee of £20 million over the summer but has been prevented from making his debut due to injury. Click to continue reading...

We've seen it happen before. Many times over. Sadly, companies and their marketing teams like to take hot footballers and turn them into dorks for sales purposes. It's a wide-spread (albeit, entertaining) issue in our community.

Even putting troubles related for his failures as Argentina's coach aside, Maradona really isn't doing so great at the moment. For one, he's checked himself into a clinic in order to lose weight (this, of course, after he's already had gastric bypass surgery). And as if that weren't demoralizing enough, for some reason he did so in Northern Italy where the finance police eagerly await his return like your dog waits for you to come home.

Darren Fletcher cruelly missed out on Manchester United's Champions League final last season after being wrongly sent off against Arsenal in the semis.

Claudio Ranieri's recent arrival to Roma brings home a native son and player. In many ways the universe seemed to have planned this out perfectly for the Tinkerman. Ranieri's unceremonious if not rude firing by Juventus last season with only two games to go seemed so incongruous it that it now appears had to be done for Ranieri to be allowed to return home.

Dimitar Berbatov is eager to put right the dismal experience of last season's Champions League final by getting to Madrid next May and winning.

"After what happened in last year's final I think we're even more determined in Europe this time around," said Berbatov.

Still very much part of Sir Alex's plans?

Anderson arrived a fresh faced teenager and wowed fans and critics alike with his mature performances at the heart of the Man United midfield. He was quite simply too good too quickly.
