I guess that's why he's not going to AZ either. :lol

Full Arsenal lineup anyone?
Mama Smurf said:Aye, I was wondering if anyone could show it as I haven't seen it.
They might get work permits, on the basis that it's unrealistic to expect them to play for the Brazil national side that much when they face such talented competition. They'd definitely get rejected inititally though, it'd have to go to appeal.
Madrid to rescue Benitez
Rafa Benitez fears he will be sacked as Liverpool manager by the summer.
But he will be offered a job by Real Madrid, who have made it clear through intermediaries that they want their former youth team coach to succeed Bernd Schuster at the end of this season.
Real believe the odds are now stacked against Benitez's long-term survival at Liverpool.
Bayern Munich and AC Milan are also monitoring the power struggle that is simmering between Benitez and his employers.
American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett met Benitez last month to discuss a relationship which had reached breaking point.
But Sunday Mirror Sport understands that bringing a new manager to Anfield next season remains a genuine prospect.
Sources close to Jurgen Klinsmann claim the German has already been sounded out about moving to Merseyside from his California home.
Benitez has twice resisted overtures from Real to quit Liverpool - as well as an approach from Inter Milan.
A dearth of transfer cash remains a real frustration to Benitez and there has been no contact made about the possibility of extending the manager's contract beyond 2010 - even though the Spaniard opened the door to the prospect as he looked to make his peace with Hicks and Gillett.
The fact that Liverpool are still to inform Javier Mascherano whether they will look to seal a £17m deal with his handlers MSI at the end of the season is also adding to the uncertainty continuing to surround Benitez's future at the club.

colinisation said:No Diarra again today, combined with those Wenger comments about it being a mans game I assume he will be sold.
he most certainly didMama Smurf said:Did the commentator just say Wenger has an unenviable record in the cup?
Mama Smurf said:That was...so weird. I dunno why, seemed surreal.
LansburyMrSardonic said:Their keeper did a terrible job. If he'd just rushed Eduardo while he was trying to dig the ball out, it would have been much harder.
Also, was that Rosicky on the bench with his hair bleached blond?
Clint Dempsey has the ball in the net for Fulham but his effort is disallowed for a bit of pushing by Dejan Stefanovic. The announcer at Craven Cottage plays the goal celebration music anyway.
colinisation said:We are playing like shit.
QVT said:We've got 3 awful's on the pitch right now, nothing to be done. Only hope that Eduardo shows some more Icewater
colinisation said:One of those IYO is Senderos who are the other 2.
Correction we are playing like complete and utter shit.
hadareud said:i will not have this bouncing on players here, it reminds me of the sabres forum.
Part of being a supporter is supporting your players, even if they are going through a rough time.
Especially Gilberto deserves nothing but respect from Arsenal supporters. He's been brilliant for us and a poor game or two are allowed.
He also hasn't done anything wrong today. fucks sake
Cedeo said:I take it you don't see Arsenal train everyday or get paid to pick the team or have a team of backroom staff to help you pick the best squad?
Arsene Wenger is probably the best informed person on the planet to pick an Arsenal team, you have to accept his decisions and don't be an armchair critic.
