Benitez to resign?!

Rumours are circulating that Benitez will resign from Liverpool following the Stoke match, which Liverpool currently lead 1-0 thanks to Fernando Torres. This shocking news has no official confirmation, but repeated slashing of odds on Benitez leaving by several large betting organizations has given a bit more credence to a story that otherwise would have been quickly dismissed. Stay tuned here for more updates and the latest news.


Update-Benitez has dismissed rumours of a Liverpool exit, saying "I remain 100 per cent committed to the club"

Liverpool Swoop for Greek Center Back?

Reports are that Liverpool will shortly be confirming a surprising move for AEK Athen's Greek international Sotiris Kyrgiakos. Given Liverpool's alleged lack of funds, the deal is unlikely to have cost more than 3 million Pounds. Kyrgiakos has previously played for Rangers, Panathinaikos, and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Premier League Season Predictions 09/10

Premier League Winner:


Manchester United
Despite losing Ronaldo, their squad is still the best in the league. Valencia is a good buy who will fit in to a proper 4-4-2, Berbatov should thrive up front in a static role he's more suited to, Owen will provide goals when fit, and Rooney maybe will come close to fulfilling his destiny as England's best ever player blah blah blah. Their midfield isn't as good as Chelsea's, but that won't matter against most teams in the Premier League.





Top 4/CL Spots:



Manchester United




Chelsea: Will fall just short of the title, either because Drogba and Anelka just don't get enough goals, or because Ancelotti focuses on the Champions League. That said, I wouldn't be in the least surprised if they pick up the CL.




Liverpool: Losing Alonso is a big blow, particularly with the replacement being out injured for the beginning of the season. While Lucas has impressed during pre-season and clearly has potential, he clearly lacks Alonso's passing and ability to dictate matches.




Arsenal: Despite their dismantling of Everton, I don't think Arsenal have enough depth in midfield to survive the long season ahead of them. They have a very strong line-up of forwards, but the rest of their squad isn't deep enough to compete with Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man United.




Man City will be a very tough team by the end of the season, and will definitely threaten the top 4 in the future, but this year is too soon.
