WEEKLY SOCCER ROUND UP

Amidst the rugby celebrations Rashid Cassim phoned me at about 12.30 pm. His words were

"I am phoning you in advance.Quote me. I woke up with the same feeling I had in Istanbul.Today we will get three points.Make no mistake"

And this coming from a man that predicted the World Cup Final and Istanbul

FROM THE KOP END

I phoned Rash when we were 1-0 down. Still he was persistant that Liverpool will get the result. Then 1-1 and we were raining down on the Everton goal.But it wasnt coming. I phoned Rash. We agreed that at that level there is no excuse not to finish against 10 men. Veronin and Sisoko -criminal. And then came the penalty.Kuyt stepped up and sneaked,I say sneaked it in. Rash called me and said..........".What did I say."

Just then Lescott went tumbling down and Seth was the first on the phone to say what Cheaters we are. But it happens to Utd all the time. If you look at it Caragher was like a walking stick for Lescott. The man hung on Caragher and leaned against him like his blomming on the cafe wall. Not a thourough Liverpool prformance but 3 valuable points leading into a crucial fortnight.That explains the Liverpool players celebations. And the Gerard subsitute Im loss for words. Can any Kop owe explain this phenomina. And Gerard on the left. Why didnt Benitez give him the free role behind a striker.Well lucky we won the Derby.Thats all that counts

THEATER OF DREAMS

Wayne who.Wayne f$5king Rooney.the lad seems to be coming into his element and so does the whole Manc Team and Dunya (WORLD ) of MANCS. They just seem to be getting better and better and are not allowing any mishaps. A worrying and tell tale sign. Riza from Aston Villa.A few words maybe. Villa's 9 men crushed by the MANCS. I expected more from villa

CHEL$KI

Who let the Drog out again.The man wants to leave and then the man puts away. Have we forgotten about Chelsea.Are they still title contenders Loks.Luqman Are you owes competing for the title or restructuring. Again its that wedding but no Deg Chows.Some missing element here.Then again maybe Im wrong

GUNNERS POINT OF VIEW.

Arsenal are playing like a machine gun and machine gun is playing like arsenal. Jive,Zam Ram and Faiz OZ. iM SHOCKED. The toppie Wenger is a magician. And Bolton were always your Da Da's )grandfathers. So its a 4 horse race if we include Chelsea.

Apart from that Benni seemed to have got a lease of life after the ITALIAN 3 rd team pumped Bafana.Good wins for West ham. At least we can see a Dr Martins top in the plaza .Havent seen at at Waris for a while

SPANISH LA LIGA

Riyad Loonat ,the only Madrid man on the blog gets a taste of his first defeat. And so did Barca. I tried phoning the man but no answer. But good for the cause of the League.Nice to see surprises now and then.Let valencia and the likes come up.

ITALIAN SEIRE A

Milan shocked,losing 1-0. Theres a crisis here Im telling you. Jose are you at the catwalks of Milan. Get ready you will recieve a call up soon.Inter make it four in a row. Milan have not won at the San Siro and have 10 points after 8 games.AC MILAN Im talking about,Fiorentina and Roma keep up the pressure

LOCAL ROUND UP

All I can say here is Etugral had a stick in his hand and was furious. 5 games now chiefs.Will the Kaka's of SA please comment for Chiefs

FORZA JUVE

And Forza Alex Del Piero.After penning a deal that keeps him in Turin till 2010,Pintruchio netted and gave Juve 3 points against Genoa.The officiating in the game was apalling.Del Piero was hacked all the time.Nedveds frustration boiled over and he got red carded.Then the TINKERMAN GOT HIS MARCHING ORDERS.In an ugly game we got three points and DEL PIERO is back with a sublime finish.

Forza Juve

Always a Bianconeri
