ALONSO WINS IT FOR SPAIN

Liverpool's Xabi Alonso scored the winning goal for Spain against the hosts South Africa in extra-time in the 3rd place play-off match today in Johannesburg.
Liverpool's play maker has surely added another few million to his asking price with his displays in the tournament and he capped it all off with a great free kick from way out on the left-hand side of the pitch to win the match.
As I have said many times before on this site, I don't want Alonso to leave Liverpool despite Real Madrid's continued interest in him.
Rafa Benitez wants to keep him as well, according to various statements in the press and it is vitally important that we keep our best players to go and win the title next season.

LIVERPOOL SIGN JOHNSON

Firstly, a big thank you to everybody who looked up my site and left a comment or reaction at this sad time. It means alot.
Good news at Liverpool today with the signing off Glenn Johnson from Portsmouth for a reported £18 million.
He is a quality full-back who is an England regular and will be an attacking player who should provide plenty of good crosses into the box for Torres and co. to score from next season.
Lets hope we get one or two more of his stature for the new season.

REST IN PEACE DAD

I lost my father to cancer at ten to four today.

He put up a brave fight against this terrible disease but after 16 months he finally succumbed to the condition.

He passed away peacefully in the end, having slipped into a coma on Wednesday, he fought bravely but today, it became too much for him.

A good man, a kind man and a funny man, I will miss him greatly.

I was proud and lucky to have him as my father.

Rest in peace Dad.
