well...i'm considering deleting my rugby diary...still think that my first love is soccer...and i'm devoting this post now entirely to soccer...my personal one will be in the next post

the trouble afflicting man u continues as they weld held 0-0 by man city...which is quite unacceptable..and newcastle were thrashed 4-1 at fulham...and if things are sufficiently desperate...you will never know what happens when wolves suddenly bite...and mr berlusconi is learning it the hard way even when ancelotti had 2 or 3 strikers according to the prime minister's edict...here's the lineup

MILAN: Dida; Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Pancaro; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kaka; Shevchenko, Tomasson ROMA: Pelizzoli; Sartor, Dellas, Ferrari, Cufrè; Mancini, Aquilani, De Rossi, Del Vecchio; Montella, Totti...

yeah it's not a tactical prob...there's 2 strikers as specified so it's Roma's desperado acts they salvage a point

and owen again helped real madrid to a 2-0 victory...and the rise of levante is shown by the defeat of athletic bilbao...who is looking weak nowadays...but the real shock today came from getafe...a low free kick is just about enough to condemn valencia to hell...and of course the editor of the Dugout Times would want to voice out his reservations over Ranieri once again...and Maxi-mum power for Espanyol as they won Real Sociedad with Maxi-mum ease...wat about Farcelona...they will get bushwhacked by the time they go to Madrid or they host Raul Madrid

and PSG is now on the rise again after winning Marseille 2-1 while LOSC can just about go top if Lyon draws next week...cock outs not included...and an accurate hit at the Abbe des Champs helps Auxerre draw 1-1 with Nantes...and we are very serious here...Partizan is rolling right now...expect them to at least get into the UEFA cup quarter finals...as for germany...the nuremburg trials come again as wolfburg is ran over with such ease and stuttgart win...although they stay top with a better goal difference as Schalke...and Bayern better turn up the heat or they will waste another season crapping

and LATEST NEWS: A second half blitzkrieg by River Plate hit Boca hard on the head...but we predict that River will go bankrupt first as their twin missiles started...you just need to wait for Shakhtar or Real Madrid or Barca to come and name a price...and most likely a deal for Carlos Tevez will fall through...although we don't exclude the possibility of Dinamo Kiev selling properties held in the West to buy a star player

with 2 games left in the Russian league...we have CSKA leading Loko by 1 pt...and Dinamo are a tough though easy to defeat bunch...Loko in contrast has an easier job...so we expect CSKA to win on goal difference...and it never ever rains but pours acid in galatasaray...lost again but still 4 points away from their biggest rivals Fener the Suck which means they better pray that Trabzonspor bushwhacks the Fenerfarce defence before the big game in 12/12 ...and at least Djurgardens saved some face for themselves as they got rid of Gothenborg in the Swedish Cup final...as for Pana...AEK did a special favour as they held Olympiacos to a 0-0 draw which guaranteed a top place finish for Pana as they eased past their opponents 4-0

that's all folks...too bad we are unable to update you with Sporting vs Porto before press time
