Absolutely spot on

Devastated. I saw him play so many times, always an inspiration. RIP Emlyn.

Pure class. Male chauvinism at it's very best.

Milan has handled this well. He has confirmed he has been approached (tapped up?) but that he is contracted to LFC and wishes to impress the new boss. Rafa won't entertain getting rid unless Real offer bloody ridiculous money.

Isn't there a rule (FA / Premiership) that a clubs wage bill cannot be more than a percentage of turnover (I think about 80%). Well, Chelsea's turnover is somewhat lower than ours but ther wage bill must be bloody astronomical. I'm not sure about captal adequacy either, bur very little of Abromovich's money will be in an account named 'Chelsea FC' or 'Chelsea Village' or whatever the hell they call themselves, but in XYZ company in the Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands or any suitable tax haven , just to be called upon when Kenyon wants it (especially to have a pop at us). In other words, I doubt if Chelsea have that much cash in their own name. Just a thought, but a think a few rules might be being broken here.

Anyone heard anything on this ? According to Sky Sports News he's just turned down a move to the Mancs (for 15m !)

I'm trying to think about this logically. Benitez has not been officially paraded yet as his 15 day obligation to Valencia is not yet up for another day or so. The players must have been told to keep their traps firmly shut until everything is formalised or else Parry would be accused of 'tapping up' Benitez, which would lead to legal action. i am certain that none of the players, in particular the senior one's like SG and MO would break that obligation. To me, the Mail (in particular) is just shit stirring, to 'sell papers'. I doubt if any of our lot even said what they had for breakfast. I have had dealings with the media personally in the past, and been stitched up. I just will not talk to them again. Anyway, I hope I'm right. Suprised the bastards haven't had a pop at Milan yet. (£10 @ 50/1 - go on lad).

I think Benitez's contractual fifteen days with Valencia are up this weekend. Parry doesn't want to leave us open to a lawsuit.

Don't worry. The media have been winding up LFC about Mickey leaving for yonks. Now he's effectively denied it, they pck on Stevie. They hate our guts while they are too busy crawling up Sir Pissheads arse.

The Royal fucking feMail on Sunday are stirring this as well. Absolute bollocks.

Did you ever think for a split second that anything awarded by parasitical Nazis is 'worthy' ??

My choices: Capello Benitez Mourinho Hitzfield Don't want Curbs, O'Niell. We need proven Euro eexperience to make a serious impact on the CL next year.

Dave, Thank him for that (I'm sure you already have). I wasn't there on that day. If I had have been, I could have had the same fate. RIP. YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE
