What's important than lifting a trophy?

ESPNsoccernet - Europe - Toilet break forces Barthez to miss medal presentation: "Olympique Marseille goalkeeper Fabien Barthez says he missed Saturday's French Cup final medals ceremony because he had to go and answer the call of nature."

tribalfootball.com - Van Nistelrooy closer to Man Utd exit: "The Times says clubs in Italy and Spain have been alerted to United's sudden willingness to listen to offers for the Holland forward."

It's odd that to say "United sudden willingness to listen to offers", if they believed their reports on these several months that so many offers had been handed to Ruud.

Lyon to earn 50M by selling 2 players

Lyon warned Fergie, Diarra won't be sold unless the Red Devils' chief pay 24.5M for the play.

Crazy! They sold Essien to Chelsea last season at 20+ Millions pounds. Now Diarra at 24.5M again?

I'm not sure how much they paid to bring these 2 magnifican African players to France, but trading African players made the club rich. If United agrees the cost, Lyon will get 50M in 2 seasons!

Once-Misfiring Kop Keeps Scoring

Liverpool was once said to be a squad without a striker with firepower. After a disappointing start of March fixtures, scoring 1 goal in 3 games, they started scoring. They first ruined Fulham 5-1 at home and then won Newcastle 3-1 in St. James. Last night they score SEVEN in St Andrews!

This week they will host a home game against their Merseyside rival Everton, who also scored 7 goals in the last 2 games. Would this be a highest scoring derby in recent seasons?

Henry to join Barca at 10M

At least the Mirror says so.

If it comes true, Gunners will suffer a big big disaster. We all know that Wenger is ready to re-build his squad based on Henry, or the cash gained by selling Henry. As everyone of us knows, Wenger is a big admirer of F. Torres. However, if Henry left only 10M for Gunners, Wenger can only do vert little to the team.

Lampard needs Ballack

Lampard is in very low form this season. His performance is urging his boss to sign Ballack as soon as possible. Now, Frankie can have no way to rest, since no one can replace him at the heart of Chelsea midfield. If Ballack joins the blue, he will share the workload of Lampard and improve the efficiency of the entire team.

If Ballack signs Chelsea, the only question remains is if Lampard stays at Stamford Bridge after Germany World Cup.

Ruud on his way out

The first is AC Milan. Now is Tottenham who shows interest in the Dutch striker. Is Ruud gonna be sold during 06 Germany World Cup. As a United fans, i truly hope this won't happen.

Walcott's video

People always said that they know nothing about this wonderkid. Here is a clip showing his performance.
