Rafa Benitez celebrated his 100th league by claiming he is convinced him that his side can still win this years Premier League title. The Sunday Express quoted him as saying: “If we can beat United and Real, we can beat anybody. Now we have to be concentrated, work hard and make no mistakes if we are going to challenge for the title.”
“It depends on United because they will have to lose some games and we have to win everything. But we are certainly in a better position than before this game. But this isn’t the best week I’ve had. The best week is when you win titles,” he added.
Sorry Rafaa but you are dreaming mate. Under your control Liverpool simply don’t have the bottle to win a Premier League title. You may be one of the greatest inspiring Liverpool to cup glory but you fall well short in inspiring your team week in week out.
No chance of Liverpool taking the title this year!

16 year old WAG Melissa Reeves has been dumped by Everton team member Jack Rodwell, after she was featured on the front page of the Daily Star Sunday. Reeves from West Derby, Liverpool, was given the shove by Rodwell, 17, after a picture showing her in a racy outfit at a Formula One models launch was published on the front page of the paper.
Perhaps he has done her a big favour? Melissa if you want to have a carreer as a WAG then you need to find someone who plays at a much better team than Everton. Why don’t you try the clubs in London as you could well net a Chelsea or Arsenal player. You could of course give Manchester a try.

Reports suggest that England midfielder David Beckham has told his A C Milan team-mates that he will not be going back to LA Galaxy.
Despite constant pressure being piled on the 33 year-old star by Galaxy and the bosses of the MLS, Beckham is seems to be adamant that his future lies in Italy.
According to a report posted in The Sun, Milan teammates are impressed by Beckham’s determination to call Galaxy’s bluff – even though it will cost him money.
The Americans had demanded that a permanent deal had to be concluded by last Friday but this simply has no happens so Beckhams current situation is unclear.
Beckham’s deal with Milan will see him paid far less than his current deal with Galaxy but perhaps he sees his Milan move as a key to a place in the 2010 world cup?

Published statistics prove that the world’s leading tennis players are no match compared to Hawk-Eye as judges in contentious line calls at the Australian Open.
During Thursday’s play male players had made 286 challenges at Melbourne Park. Of those, only 89 – or 31.12 per cent – were successful. Hawk-Eye said the players were wrong 197 times.
It is a similar case when we look at the female stats. A total of 171 challenges have been made so far, with just 47 – or 27.49 per cent – successful.
Several top players including notably Federer are known to detest the system. Federer ranks second on the list of the most unsuccessful male players using the system. His 19 challenges have returned only five overrules in his favour.
andy Murray got two of 17 right. Gilles Simon five of 18.
Dokic (six of 15), Jankovic (three of 12) and Alize Cornet and Daniela Hantuchova (one of nine) also got it badly wrong.
Safina has been right only seven of 17 times.

Reports suggest that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is may be thinking of selling the Chelsea football club to Gulf Arabs. According to The Times, representatives of the oligarch have travelled to Saudi Arabia and Dubai to elicit interest in the club. The meeting was with members of the Saudi royal family. i have to say though that there has been no evidence so far of a potential buyer.
One source said: “Abramovich’s team have been out in the Middle East sounding out what interest there is in buying the club.”
Chelsea have trashed these claims insisting last night that Abramovich was still fully committed to the club on which he has lavished hundreds of millions of pounds.

Former English football legend Gary Lineker was spotted virtually attached to his lover Danielle Bux during their visit to a Dubai beach.
From reports printed in a UK newspaper it seems Lineker, 48, was seen spending most of the day cosying up to 29-year-old bikini-clad Bux.
The besotted former footie was even seen taking pictures of her as she sat reading on a beach chair.
To be honest I can’t really blame him as she is a real looker!

Chealsea have fined Didier Drogba £100,000 for recent outbursts he has made about the club. The whining Ivory Coast striker has angered both team-mates and Blues officials by claiming he did not get the support he deserves, claimed The Sun newspaper.
Drogba main gripe with Chealsea is that the club failed to support him when his grandmother died this year although he admitted also he did not rush back from his knee injury plus also criticised manager Phil Scolari’s team selection.
It is clear his comments have infuriated Scolari and chief executive Peter Kenyon hence the £100,000 fine which in real terms is less than a weeks wages. What a hard life top UK footballers have!
