Rafael Benitez is reportedly set to quit Valencia,most likely to take over at Liverpool.Thats on the BBC website but just checked teletext,which says he's resigned now.
Would be a good coup for Liverpool. |

Not really bothered to be honest, he seems like a good enough manager, of course I'd put O'Neill above him, but if the board think he'll do a good job, then I hope he does.

Yeah it was top, only goal of the match but it was good when it went in. Keeper had no chance. Anyone who plays championsip manager (especially online) will probably have heard of Diego and Robinho, and maybe Aurellio too. Me and Mask are now licenced to give opinions of them, judged on the match, and in my opinion Robinho will not make it bad, fair enough it was one game away in Columbia, but he had a great chance in the first half where he was just outside the six yard box and fluffed it, he didn't seem to do much else except a good run but his shot was blocked, and he dived twice. Diego was MUCH better, I can see him being snapped up over here, although as Forlan proved, people who play well in South America don't necessarily prove to be the man in England, so Diego might not be a hit, but his skills were quality last night, he is really creative and definitley deserved a goal, I would like to see Chelsea give him a chance, but I think he would be better at a mid table club to start with. Aurellio was always getting involved and hardly put a foot wrong, he is a solid tackler and is also very good going forwards, pretty good to watch. Paulo Cesar is also the man, looked quite creative and linked up with Diego well. And yeah Valencia's manager looks like he is going to go to Liverpool after quitting Valencia today despite being offered a better deal. |

Yeah we've got this pretty big online game going and Mask has signed Diego and Robinho.

Yeah thats why I mentioned those two, Diego is the man, maybe Robinho just had a mare, I dunno. Mask was ranting on about how good Robinho is hyped up to be in real life and all this about how good he will be, and then he was like, Diego and Renato are also the men on Champ, but I don't even remember Renato. I think Diego will make it big, and Aurellio too, he looks like he'd be good in Europe too.

Tevez isn't even in the top five goal scorers in the Argentinian league. Tevez dominated their game last Thursday in the Quarters of the Copa Libarodores against Sao Caetano, but he just couldn't get a goal. Antonio Barijho scored with his second touch after coming on as a sub. But yeah Tevez was pretty damn hot, and schelloto down the wing, he played well too. Tevez has been linked with Man United in the past.
I forgot all about Diego being linked with Spurs before. Last edited by Dazz; 06-01-2004 at 09:53 AM. |

Yeah I have clips of the fans, they aint doing anything stupid, they are just really load and in effect. I've never heard of the super something that they call it, but in South America it is viewed as the best derby in the world. I can't give an opinion yet, but I will do after the semi finals of the copa libaratores semi finals. At the moment I think that Barca Madrid is the best derby.

Oh yeah Dickov is the man,Doink.I believe he scored more than any Boro forwards and he'd be a good foil for someone like Viduka,if he arrives.
People say they dislike Dickov but once he plays for your club or country then your opinion will change,he gives 100% every game and is one of a few to do so. |

i have nothing against dickov, i liked him when he was at man city and thought they shit on him a bit considerin the amount of goals he scored for them. the thing is he's not what we need and to be honest viduka can be a liability and dont really want him either. id like to see us try and sign beattie or gudjohson (spelt wrong but chelsea forward) but that wont happen. its looking more and moe likly that mclaren will try and raid man u again and go for ole gunner & forlan but id have neither, i suppose id take ruud but only if it was very cheap as he isnt much of a team player and doesnt score enough for me ![]() |

latest from boro is we are set to open talks with viduka this week while birmingham have apparently opened talks with danny mills. we are also being strongly linked with melchiot and mark delaney of villa to fill the gap left by mills. personally i wouldnt sign either and id give stuart parnaby his chance to establish himself.
also i got this from the local papers website : Mystery surrounds Massimo Maccarone's return to Teesside this week. The Italian striker flew back to Rome at the end of the season and was not expected back in Middlesbrough until the start of pre-season. But he has been spotted by several Boro fans. Boro declined to comment today on the reason for Maccarone's return. |

i think he was only linked to us as a joke anyway in the wake of kluivert transfer talks. hes ok but we didnt need him as we already have one forward like that who injury free will hopefully come good next year and that is malcum christie.

Mourinho likes a good old war of words. It will be good to see a feud between him and Fergie. I would say him and Wenger, but Fergie speaks his mind more.

He's already had a feud with Fergie, this season. They made up afterwards.
But apparently it was Fergie who recommended him to Abramovich's advisors. |

Well, Abramovichs main advisor is Kenyon, surely Fergie and Kenyon arent talking.
I didn't think they made up after their feud, and it wasn't that big a feud because it didn't last long, this could be a season long feud, I hope we play Man United at the start of the season, that should ensure a feud is underway quickly. I think we would have got Mourinho in charge anyway, even if Fergie didn't reccomend him. |
