La Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Massimo Moratti has decided to sack Rafael Benitez only two days after lifting the FIFA Club World Cup.




The paper ran with the headline of ?Benitez e' fuori!? which translates as "Benitez is out!" The Spaniard has struggled to produce results this season and the Nerazzurri lie 13 points off the top of the table, a situation made worse as top spot is occupied by fierce city rivals Milan.

Well you have to beat whoever gets put in front of you, and if we don't beat them somebody will have to in order to win it. Every team left in the CMPL should fear them. Having said that, Espanyol proved that if you have a go at them the defence is suspect, especially Abidal and Puyol. But the rest of the team have got the work ethic down to a tee, they press, defend, and attack as a group. There is no other team in world football that does that as well as they do. But we have 10 weeks to go and things MAY chnage. Who knows.
Not sure how much credence or importance to attach to this but according to the purveyors of truth, talksport, Rafa is holidaying in Liverpool. Is the end of Woys' brief reign? Poor fella, the job has effected him so badly he's joined Wengers school of Basil Fawlty imitators with his face washing routine.

Anna you must have more idea than us about the goings on behind the scenes at Liverpool, what do you reckon is going on with Rafa and Woy?

Seems to be but who wouldn't want a manager who got you to be the no1 ranked team in Europe


Have to say his transfers up until last year had many more positives than negatives, reina, Torres, alonso, mascherano, Garcia, sissoko, crouch, agger all quality in my eyes his real problem was he didnt have funds to go straight out and buy proven class was always trading up year on year eg Bellamy sold to fund Torres where as we should have held onto him. He tried to sell Alonso to fund Barry which never happened and it came back and bit his arse 12 months later.


I'll be the first to admit he's bought some stinkers eg babel but who hasn't? Veron for 28m springs to mind. his man management may need tweaking but I can't help thinking if he didn't have the two cowboys trying every underhand way of replacing him behind his back last year would have been a whole lot different.

    • Place your on-screen cursor over the name of the sender, the sender's actual email address should appear, often with scammers it comes up with  a very unbusinesslike address. Failing that, you should be able to speak to Virgin and ask if legit, Microsoft on the other hand I wouldn't bother trying to contact...
    • Bit hard to do that in the middle of the night without causing even more disturbance to other neighbours than the original barking! Are you sure you need to provide an address? There must be loads of instances where it's very hard to trace the source of a noise, and I certainly wouldn't want to be roaming around by myself in the middle of the night trying to track it down! It does need to be triple glazing, not double. I was told that it's what they use for office windows at Heathrow, but I've no idea if that's true. It doesn't make the room completely soundproof, but it does make a huge difference. There must be no gaps anywhere, even very thin ones, where noise could get through.
