LOTS & LOTSA NEWS ON LFC... fancy which is true?

Too slow for Juventus, aren't you Xabi?

I have a few English newspapers website that I frequented. You can say I do the visit via online almost daily. We live in the best of time, when you can get the news so fast, so quick, so blatant direct into your computer set. I guess those editors in UK also understand that they have readers as far as Malaysia and we can see how they are working hard to update their online version. For this, I salute you guys (English Sports Section Writers Only).

My first visit usually would be The Daily Mail. I guess the lay-out is the best. And the coverage on LFC is extensive. The second would be The Sun. It has a quite interesting sexy section too (not the Page 3 Girls laaaa), aside from the football. Then to a more serious approach, The Guardian who hardly play stories based on hearsay (even in football !!!!) and usually the analysis articles are written in a splendid manner. Then may be I roam between The Times and icLiverpool - depending on the time I have left. Soccernet is also a good reference. I now use it as my reading menu. I find some interesting topics, then I go look up on the issue on the respective newspaper's web. I want to read not only the lines but also see some good photos, or sometimes graphics or charts.

Today, I see that LFC has a few titles on the headlines. At least 2 stories referring to players and the other, indirectly (Athletico Madrid banned for 3 matches... and how Liverpool is in the picture since we will fight them in the next Champions League game next week, how Torres is distraught because he won't be able to play in his old stadium and the loud protest by Liverpool supporters who already made arrangement to accompany the team in Madrid... that's a lot).

Xabi is again in the news. He was supposed to be exchanged with a young player in the Barcelona team (they have so many young and interesting player that they don't bother to give away one or two to others) and remember, Xabi is also a product of Barcelona (youth academy). He was unnecessarily criticise by Ranieri as not suitable for Juventus for being too slow. What the heck? This loco Italian must have been in amnesia. Does he meant Liverpool under Rafa, has been playing a slow system - so to fit Xabi... this is utterly ridiculous of Ranieri. And now, Barcelona is wanting Xabi... does it mean Barcelona is slower than Juv?

I hope Liverpool will meet Juventus soon in the Champions League and teach Ranieri about our pace. By the way, I still remember Juventus never passed through Liverpool, not for the last two seasons at least... Juventus will be beaten soundly by the `slow' Liverpool midfielder.
