Juventus goalkeeper Gianlugi Buffon could be on his way to Chelsea as a replacement for Petr Cech, who is likely to miss the rest of the English Premiership season with a serious head injury sustained in last Saturday's match against Reading.
Back-up keeper Carlo Cudicini was also concussed in the same game and was forced to sit out Chelsea's mid-week Champions League win over Barcelona.
Buffon is presently playing in Serie B following his side's demotion to Italy's second tier following a corruption scandal at the club.
Italy's 28-year old keeper is considered one of the best in his position in the world.

Fabio Capello - Coach Profile
Trener svih trenera vraća Realu nadu
Fabio Capello vratio se u Madrid nakon devet godina. Talijan rođen 1946. na granici sa Slovenijom trenirao je Real samo jednu sezonu, ali i to mu je bilo dovoljno da postavi temelje momčadi koja je u idućih pet godina odnijela tri Lige prvaka i dva Interkontinentalna kupa!
Mada su najveću slavu za te naknadne pokale pokupili Capellovi nasljednici, Jupp Heynckess i pogotovo Vicente Del Bosque, Talijan je taj koji je dao odlučujući zamah Realovom stroju.
Madridski je kraljevski klub 1995/96 imao razočaravajuću sezonu pod Jorgeom Valdanom, ostavši bez mjesta u Europi, i Fabio Capello nametnuo se kao logičan izbor predsjedniku Lorenzu Sanzu. Capello je posložio kockice i doveo Real do naslova sa samo četiri poraza u 42 kola, osam manje nego u sezoni prije toga.
Ljetos je slučaj bio sličan: Real je zadnje tri godine ostao bez trofeja, a Capello se igrom slučaja našao slobodan. Zasluga skandala u calciju, naravno.
Madrid, naj-grad u Europi
Kad je postalo očigledno da će Juve biti isključen iz prve lige, Capello je od kluba dobio raskid ugovora, pozvavši se na neku misterioznu klauzulu koja mu je omogućavala odlazak pod povoljnim uvjetima. Teško da je ugovor predviđao mogućnost da bi Juventus mogao izgubiti prvoligaški status, no u svakom slučaju nova klupska uprava, koja je stupila na vlast nakon ostavki Girauda, Bettege i Moggija, nije treneru pravila problema.
"U Španjolskoj ima mnogo stvari koje mi se sviđaju, ne samo pršut. Mislim da je Madrid u ovom trenutku najbolji grad za život u Europi. Moja žena je još prije 10 godina rekla da je to najbolje mjesto u kojemu sam mogao dobiti posao."
Iz prvog razdoblja kad je radio u Realu, Capello je sačuvao vikendicu u Marbelli, na jugu, kao da je slutio da će se jednog dana vratiti. Predrag Mijatović, novi sportski direktor, nije imao teškoća u nagovaranju. Kao izabranik za direktora predsjedničkog kandidata Ramona Calderona, Mijatović – bivši igrač Reala u prvom Capellovom mandatu – odletio je privatnim avionom na otok Pantelleria, bliže obali Tunisa nego Italije, na pregovore s Capellom.
- "Imam na tom otoku malu kuću. To je mirno mjesto, bez plaže. 'Peđa' i ja se dobro slažemo i brzo smo se dogovorili", priča Capello, o kojemu Mijatović kaže da je "najbistriji trener s kojim je ikad radio."
Kad je Calderon dobio izbore, barem u prvom brojanju glasova, potpisao je prvo Capello, a onda i nekoliko igrača koje je tražio za novu sezonu: Cannavaro, Emerson, Van Nistelrooy.
Realu trebaju muškarci u momčadi
- "Tremamo muškarce, igrače koji se neće prepasti od Realove majice. To je važno. Ima nogometaša koji se ističu u drugim, manjim klubovima, a onda se nađu u većem klubu i ne funkcioniraju."
Oduševljen je Cannavarom, kapetanom prvaka svijeta, kojeg je dovukao iz Juventusa.
- "Vrlo je ozbiljan i drži se kao vođa. Njegova dob od 33 godine nije nikakav problem, jer se maksimalno čuva. Nije vrlo visok (176 cm, op. a.), ali zadivljujuće skače i odlično se postavlja. Siguran sam da je trebao biti izabran za najboljeg igrača Svjetskog prvenstva."
O drugom pojačanju iz Juventusa, 29-godišnjem Emersonu, kaže da je "možda malo podbacio na Mundialu, ali to je možda zato što u brazilskoj reprezentaciji nisu navikli da neki njihov igrač tako puno trči."
Real je prošle tri godine ostao "suh" što se tiče titula, što mu je najduža stanka u zadnjih pedeset godina.
- "Ne mogu proći još tri godine bez trofeja. Sigurno bi me izbacili prije no što se tako nešto dogodi!" – svjestan je 60-godišnji trener.
Capello je trenersku slavu stekao vodeći Milan između 1991. i 1996. Preuzevši Milaneze od vrlo uspješnog Arriga Sacchija u ljeto 1991. produžio je epohu uspješnosti crveno-crnih na još pet godina i oborio rekord nepobjedivosti u talijanskom prvenstvu. Pod Capellom, Milan je izdržao 57 utakmica bez poraza kroz cijelu sezonu 1991/92 i veći dio iduće sezone, kad je seriju prekinula Parma na San Siru pogotkom Faustina Asprille. Zapravo je ukupan Milanov niz nepobjedivosti trajao 58 utakmica, ali na prvoj od njih, koncem svibnja 1991., trener je još bio Arrigo Sacchi.
U Europi, Capellova je squadra triput zaredom igrala u finalu Lige prvaka, od kojih je dva izgubila s po 0:1, 1993. od Marseillea i 1995. od Ajaxa, a dobila s 4:0 ono u Ateni protiv Barcelone, u jednoj od najljepših utakmica u povijesti finala eurokupova.
Real je Capella angažirao 1996. zajedno s Davorom Šukerom, Predragom Mijatovićem i Robertom Carlosom, s instantnim uspjehom. Međutim, Capello je 1997. na opće iznenađenje raskinuo suradnju sa Španjolcima i vratio se na poziv Berlusconija da izvuče Milan iz krize rezultata i igre. Njegova druga era za kormilom Vragova bila je kratka i gorka, jer momčad nije uspio uvesti čak niti u Kup UEFA.
Nakon tog neuspjeha godinu je dana pauzirao, da bi 1999. preuzeo Romu i ubrzo joj dao pobjedničke obrise. U prvoj sezoni doveo ju je do Europe, a 2001. i do tek trećeg naslova u klupskoj povijesti, 18 godina nakon prethodnog. U iduće tri godine još je dvaput s Romom bio drugi i jednom finalist Kupa, a 2002. je u igri za scudetto bio do zadnjeg kola.
S istim klubovima i igrački i trenerski trofeji
Kad se odnos s Vukovima istrošio (i kad se Romina blagajna ispraznila nakon godina nesmiljenog kupovanja), Capella se sjetio Juventus, tražeći nasljednika trofejnom Lippiju. Sprega Juvea i Capella odmah se pokazala pobjedničkom, mada danas znamo da su u tim pobjedama ulogu igrale i izvansportske okolnosti. U obje sezone u kojima ih je vodio trener iz Friulija, Zebre su se okitile scudettima, postigavši 53 pobjede i pretrpjevši samo pet poraza. Nešto od te blistave bilance valjda je zasluga i Capella, a ne samo Luciana Moggija i njegove mašinerije za namještanje prijateljskih sudaca.
Capello je jedinstven trener u svijetu po tome što je s ista tri kluba osvajao trofeje i kao igrač i kao trener.
Za razliku od brojnih trofejnih trenera koji nisu imali zapažene igračke karijere, bio je vrhunski nogometaš, prvotimac Rome, Juventusa i Milana, sa svakim od kojih se domogao ponekog trofeja. S Juventusom je triput bio talijanski prvak i dvaput drugoplasirani, s Romom je uhvatio Kup, s Milanom i Kup i prvenstvo.
Desetljećima kasnije, kad je zamijenio igračku trenerskom uniformom, vodio je ista tri talijanska kluba i također se sa svakim od njih okitio naslovima.
Istakao se i u reprezentaciji, za koju je odigrao 32 utakmice i postigao osam golova, od kojih se najviše pamti onaj na Wembleyju, kojim je Italija prvi puta u povijesti svladala Englesku u gostima.
Igračku je karijeru završio 1980. u Milanu i to baš u sezoni koju je obilježio Totonero, do ove godine najveći skandal u calciju. Zbog namještanja utakmica radi dobitaka na ilegalnim kladionicama, te su godine kažnjeni brojni nogometaši i klubovi, od kojih Milan i Lazio izbacivanjem iz lige. Ironijom sudbine, 26 godina kasnije, još je jedan važan trenutak u Capellovom životu povezan sa skandalom i kaznama – prekid s Juventusom i drugi odlazak u Madrid. Naravno, ni u jednom slučaju njegovo ime nije se spominjalo među sumnjivcima; Fabio Capello puno je prepametan da bi se upletao u prljava posla!

There’s a bad moo on the rise
To be a successful bettor, you have to understand probability. If you toss a coin in the air there’s a 50% chance that it will come down on heads, throw a dice in the air and there’s a 16.6% chance that it will land on a 6, throw a cat in the air and there’s a 100% chance that it will be a right good laugh.
But occasionally, even if you’re an expert in the field of probability theory, with an encyclopedic knowledge of football and the greatest staking plan since ‘The Bride of Dracula’, you can still do your proverbials if poor value teams like Italy keep on winning.
Amazingly, the Italians are a short as 4/6 to lift the World Cup, and that’s the most ridiculous investment since the wife had the cheek to pay for beauty products. The French have the necessary tools to lift the trophy; at odds of 11/10, stat nerds, value hunters and football anoraks will all be eating cheese, snails and various frog appendages, in a show of solidarity for our French brothers.
To say that the Italians have had the luck of the draw throughout the competition is like saying that John Motson is annoying; it’s so obvious that clarification is not just fluous, it’s superfluous. The French are good things to wrap the game up in 90 minutes at 23/10. Correct score bettors need look no further than a 2-0 scoreline at 14/1, but perming 1-0 and 2-0 together at 7/2 is a little bit safer/camper.
You can sum up the difference between the teams in two words, ‘Thierry Henry’. The Gallic genius is the most complete player in the tournament, although the Spanish would probably call him a complete tart. Henry missed the final in ’98 even though he was their top scorer at the time; if patience is a virtue, then Henry is on the path to righteousness. It’s time for King Henry to ascend to the throne; it’s 6/1 that he bags the opener.
The Golden Shoe may sound like an item that one of the WAG’s would buy, but it’s actually the award for the competition’s top scorer. (Personally, I don’t allow the wife to go shopping for anything other than cleaning materials, but i’m far more flexible with the girlfriend.) Thierry Henry needs two more goals to potentially grab a share of the coveted award (the wife will also be receiving a shoe on Sunday); Henry is a 13/2 shot to net two or more goals.
If all the rumours are true, Juventus players just have to turn up to win matches in Italy, which might explain Paddy Vieira’s indifferent season. It’s great to see Vieira look back to his thundering best, another commanding performance from the resurgent Vieira will see the French ease to victory. Man of the match betting is available, I’ve seen worse 10/1 shots that the mighty Patrick Vieira.
The Italians have constantly surprised me throughout the competition. Their transformation from an over-hyped collection of show-ponies to an over-hyped, lucky collection of show-ponies has bordered on the extraordinary. The same accusation has often been thrown at Zinedine Zidane, but the reality is that Zizou remains the definition of greatness. A bet on the sublime Zidane for the ‘man of the tournament’ award (The Golden Ball) at 1/2 is money for old rope.
Luca Toni had a massive reputation for his Serie A goal scoring exploits, but looks to be suffering from a serious case of Lamparditis, he couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo. On a related note, I once tried to hit a cow’s arse with a banjo, at least that’s what I told the police officer, although the lack of the banjo aroused some suspicion. Toni will not score, the French have a clean sheet in Le Bag, help yourself to 6/4.
Franck Ribery may look like something that Dr Frankenstein knocked up after a heavy night on the ale, but it’s not physical looks that make the footballer (otherwise I’d have 150 caps under my belt), pace, skill and grace are the key attributes and Ribery has all three in abundance. The youngster has improved from game to game and the 9/2 on offer for Ribery to score at any time should attract support.
Whoever wins, I’ll be walking in to the bookies with a big smile, asking if they’ll pay me out on Argentina, as they’re the moral winners of the competition. Although, there is a valuable lesson to be learned here; sometimes in life, it’s not the winning that’s important, it’s the taking apart the betting shop if they refuse to pay.

The same accusation has often been thrown at Zinedine Zidane, but the reality is that Zizou remains the definition of greatness. A bet on the sublime Zidane for the ‘man of the tournament’ award (The Golden Ball) at 1/2 is money for old rope.
Luca Toni had a massive reputation for his Serie A goal scoring exploits, but looks to be suffering from a serious case of Lamparditis, he couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo. On a related note, I once tried to hit a cow’s arse with a banjo, at least that’s what I told the police officer, although the lack of the banjo aroused some suspicion. Toni will not score, the French have a clean sheet in Le Bag, help yourself to 6/4.
Franck Ribery may look like something that Dr Frankenstein knocked up after a heavy night on the ale, but it’s not physical looks that make the footballer (otherwise I’d have 150 caps under my belt), pace, skill and grace are the key attributes and Ribery has all three in abundance. The youngster has improved from game to game and the 9/2 on offer for Ribery to score at any time should attract support.
Whoever wins, I’ll be walking in to the bookies with a big smile, asking if they’ll pay me out on Argentina, as they’re the moral winners of the competition. Although, there is a valuable lesson to be learned here; sometimes in life, it’s not the winning that’s important, it’s the taking apart the betting shop if they refuse to pay.

Long Road Ahead For Asia
Asia should be thankful for Australia – though Japan may find it difficult to find any gratitude – and the fact that the newest member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) was the only one of the five representatives to progress past the knockout stage.
Suspicions in Europe and elsewhere that Japan and South Korea’s 2002 success was helped hugely by home advantage will not have been allayed by the fact that the traditional big four Asian nations, were, as the saying goes, “home before the postcards”.
More serious is the fact that even with Australia’s presence in the last sixteen, there is sure to be at least some pressure from other confederations to reduce Asia’s current World Cup allocation of 4.5 spots. Any decision to do so would be have a profound effect on the continent’s football scene and with Australia looking strong, one or more of the traditional powers will miss out in 2010.
It is natural that there will be postmortems as to why Asia’s traditional ‘big four’ didn’t make it to the second round and earlier this week, the AFC’s President, Mohamed bin Hamman, pointed the finger at the standard of the continent’s domestic leagues.
It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that Asian domestic leagues have to improve and not just for the sake of future World Cups. However, nobody should forget that European nations have long and rich football traditions and it is only relatively recently that leagues such as Korea’s and Japan’s became professional – Korea was the first in 1983.
Asian fans shouldn’t then beat themselves up about the standard of their domestic set-ups, it would be truly miraculous if their leagues could even be compared to those of even average European nations and it is a credit to Japan that, in terms of professionalism and organization at least, the J-League can.
The problem is that during the World Cup, they are compared with the best by people watching all over the world simply because that is the nature of the tournament. Sat in Leipzig’s Stadium before the Korea – France clash, a quick glance at FIFA’s team sheets revealed the size of the challenge facing the 2002 semi-finalists. Players from Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and Suwon Samsung Bluewings were facing those from Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus and Bayern Munich -it is to Korea’s credit that they came away with a 1-1 draw.
Bin Hamman said that Australia succeeded because their players play in big leagues but what he is forgetting is that those leagues are not Australian. He can’t have it both ways – praising a nation who fielded just one or two A-League stars in the World Cup while telling others to improve their domestic set-ups. International experience is good for players and national teams but a strong league provides a much stronger foundation for continued success.
It is tough to find a balance. Immediately after Korea’s loss against Switzerland, Dick Advocaat told his soon-to-be-ex employers that the K-League has to improve. At the same time in a different part of Hanover’s World Cup Stadium, Lee Chun-soo, perhaps Korea’s best player in Germany and the 2005 K-League MVP, was telling reporters that he wanted another try in Europe.
Just days after giving his advice, Advocaat is getting ready to take two of the K-League’s best players, Kim Dong-jin and Lee Ho, with him to his new club Zenit St. Petersburg. It is a little like going to a friend’s party, telling them it’s boring before taking some of the best music and drinks to another party. The experience in Russia may improve the players and therefore the national team but what about the K-League?
It is hard to blame the players especially as they are usually encouraged to head overseas by media and supporters who are proud to see their home-grown stars strutting their stuff on a weekly basis in such strong leagues England, Spain or Germany.
France’s second division couldn’t be classed as such though that is where one of Asia’s brightest stars Masashi Oguro chose to play – a decision that shows there is still much work to be done.
The striker was one of the successes of the 2005 J-League season and his goals helped Gamba Osaka lift a first-ever league title. He broke into the national team and helped Team Nippon qualify for the World Cup. Instead of staying with Gamba, one of the biggest and best teams in Asia, to defend their title as well as participate in the Asian Champions League, he instead chose to join mid-table French second division team Grenoble Foot38 with an average attendance of only 5,000 ..
While it is welcomed that there seems to be a renewed realization that matters need to improve, it will take time, patience and a good deal of administrative will. Attention shouldn’t be overly fixed on the World Cup, a target of competitive domestic leagues is not a means to an end but an end in itself and the AFC, the respective domestic organizations, the media and the fans must be in it for the long haul.
If that happens then, despite the disappointment of the past month, there is a glimmer of hope that the 2006 World Cup may eventually seen as a watershed in Asian football.

Filippo "Pippo" Inzaghi Profile
Filippo Inzaghi
"Opet sam Superpippo!"
Temperamentni Milanov napadač Filippo Inzaghi u pohodu je na zadnje raspoloživo mjesto u talijanskoj momčadi za Svjetsko prvenstvo. Ako su sigurni Luca Toni, Alberto Gilardino i vjerojatno Alessandro Del Piero, za četvrto se mjesto nadmeću Christian Vieri i Inzaghi.
Dvije i pol godine od svog zadnjeg nastupa među Azzurrima, Inzaghi je napokon povezao nekoliko mjeseci bez ozljeda i zaredao pogocima u svom snalažljivom, eksplozivnom stilu.
U veljači i ožujku ove godine Inzaghi je zaigrao tako dobro da je na Milanovu klupu smjestio i skupocjenog Alberta Gilardina, što je odličan predznak da bi se mogao ugurati i u ekspediciju koju će Marcello Lippi povesti u Njemačku.
- "Zadnjih mi tjedana sve vrlo lagano ide od ruke. Čini mi se kao da mi noge lete," - rekao je nakon što je protiv Bayerna postigao svoj povijesni 50. gol u europskim kupovima - jedan više od Alfreda Di Stefana.
Tisak u velikoj mjeri navija za Superpippa, navijajući za njega u hipotetskom dvoboju protiv Christiana Vierija za mjesto u momčadi za Mundial.
Nakon dva pogotka protiv Bayerna, u Corriere dello Sportu prozvan je "neumoljivim ubojicom", dok je Gazzetta dello Sport napisala da je "Superpippov show morao Lippija oboriti s nogu."
Gazzetta je intervjuirala bivšeg velikog Milanovog i Juveovog centarfora Josea Altafinija da se izjasni o svom favoritu u dvoboju Vieri-Inzaghi. Brazilac je rekao: "U ovom trenutku, Inzaghi zaslužuje reprezentativni dres više od Vierija".
Različito je mišljenje ponudio Roberto Boninsegna, legenda Intera i Juvea, naglašavajući da je Vieri nužan Azzurrima, kao jedina alternativa pravom robusnom centarforu kakav je Luca Toni. Međutim, Vieri je jesenas izguran iz Milana i posuđen Monacu, koji je ipak - druga liga u usporedbi s crveno-crnim vragovima.
Zašto Lippi šuti?
Zasad se Lippi ne oglašava, mada je uživo svjedočio nekima iz serije Inzagijevih golova u prvenstvu i Ligi prvaka. Neobična je ta izbornikova šutnja, kad se zna da mu je Pippo dobro poznat iz dvogodišnje suradnje u Juventusu između 1997. i 1999. Zajedno su osvojili prvenstvo 1998., a Inzaghi ga nikad nije iznevjerio što se tiče golgeterskog učinka. No, kako podsjeća Corriere dello Sport, njih su dvojica imali nikad dokraja razjašnjenih razmirica dok je Lippi bio trener Juvea.
Inzaghi je izrastao iz talijanskih nižih liga, stekavši reputaciju lovca na golove, što je ponajviše opravdao 1996/97 u Serie A u dresu Atalante. Tada je s 24 pogotka u 33 utakmice podijelio prvo mjesto na ljestvici strijelaca s Giuseppeom Signorijem i zaradio zvučni, 14,5 milijuna eura vrijedan transfer u Juventus.
U Juveu je zasnovao plodnu suradnju s Del Pierom, a na krilima tog tandema koji je postigao 39 golova u prvenstvu, u Torino je stigla i titula prvaka 1998.
No, godinu potom uslijedila je manja kriza unutar Juvea, koja je dovela do Lippijevog odlaska, a iduće dvije sezone, 2000. i 2001., Staru su damu u prvenstvu preticali rimski klubovi, prvo Lazio pa Roma.
Nakon 58 ligaških golova za Juve, Inzaghija je 2001. kupio Milan za 40 milijuna eura. Bio je to dobro uložen novac, jer je Inzaghi 2002/03 zabio 12 golova u 16 nastupa u šampionskoj sezoni Lige prvaka.
Do prošle zime, sve je ostalo za Pippa bio antiklimaks. Ozljeda gležnja svela je njegov učinak na 14 nastupa i tri gola 2004., kad je Milan osvojio prvenstvo, a nove ozljede gležnja i ruke još su mu više njegovo sudjelovanje u momčadi prošle godine. Skupio je samo 11 nastupa u Serie A, a na zlokobnom finalu protiv Liverpoola u Istambulu nije se ni pojavio. Sada, međutim, proživljava drugu mladost i sve se opet čini mogućim za Superpippa.
Pippo u Azzurrima
Pippo je s Azzurrima odigrao Svjetska prvenstva 1998. i 2002., kao i Europsko prvenstvo 2000., na kojemu je Italija za dlaku promašila europski naslov.
Zadnji je od 22 pogotka za reprezentaciju Inzaghi postigao u listopadu 2003. protiv Azerbajdžana, dok je izbornik bio Giovanni Trapattoni.
U kvalifikacijama za Mundial u Koreji i Japanu bio je vodeći strijelac reprezentacije sa šest pogodaka, no ozljede su ga izbacile s Eura'2004 u Portugalu, nakon čega više nije bio u konkurenciji za plavi dres.
S bratom Simoneom, tada igračem Lazija, nastupio je u prijateljskom susretu protiv Engleske u studenom 1999.

Dairy goes again
I often panic over nothing. When the wife trapped me into producing little gambling gurus, i did worry that they may end up with my intelligence and the wife’s looks, which would have narrowed down their future career prospects to ‘circus attraction’. Luckily, they’ve ended up with the wife’s brain, and curiously, the milkman’s looks. I say curious, as the wife and I are lactose intolerant; we have absolutely no time for lactose, and we’re not shy in speaking of our displeasure.
I bring this to your attention because little Goliath is quite bright; he’s trying to remember animals by associating them with football. Whenever Ruud Van Nistelrooy comes off the bench for Man U, he shouts ‘horsey’, as Peter Crouch heads wide he cries ‘donkey’ and when Chelsea are playing, he shakes his head and murmurs ‘cheetahs’. It seems that everyone has cottoned on to Chelsea’s lack of sportsmanship, referees will be next. Any Chelsea player to be booked for diving / simulation against Birmingham is an 11/2 shot.
Amongst all the theatrics, there will also be a game of football. You’ve got to fancy Chelsea to take three points home from St Andrew’s, but 1/3 does not represent value. Playing the correct scores can solve this conundrum; Chelsea to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 is a 5/4 shot; now we’re cooking.
Phil Neville scored a beauty last week, unfortunately, it was an own goal, against Liverpool. His brother must have been literally seething. Everton are the lucky beneficiaries of a home fixture against Sunderland; they’re 3/10, certainties doesn’t really cover it.
You can’t get rich backing Everton, so taking an interest in a bookings market may prove to be a profitable play. Duncan Ferguson is a fearsome character, like Jason Donovan, he’s done a little bird in the past. Big Dunc took only nine minutes to find his name in the book last week in the Merseyside derby; he’s a 7/2 shot to have his name taken again.
Bolton’s Reebok stadium is a genuine fortress, but Manchester United have a tasty army. Wayne Rooney missed a couple of golden chances against Birmingham last week (If they were chicken legs, he would have put them away), but remains a class act. A rested Van Nistelrooy is back in favour and the talented wobbly-legged Ronaldo has already helped himself to a pair against Bolton earlier in the season. United are available at 10/11, its time to go to war.
Unfortunately for Villa fans, Milan Baros has a get-out clause in his contract that can be triggered if a bid is received for £7 million pound or more, virtually ruling out a potential transfer. The poster declaring ‘We’re not fickle, we just don’t like you’ sums up the supporters’ frustration towards O’Leary’s inability to motivate; an Aston Villa divided amongst itself can not possibly survive at Highbury. Arsenal may rest a couple of players with one eye on Wednesday’s 2nd leg against Juventus, but in all honesty, I’d back Arsenal’s reserves at 2/7 at home to the Villa.
Jermaine Jenas didn’t enjoy his time at Newcastle, he compared his time there to living in a goldfish bowl. On a related note, it’s a fallacy that goldfish only have a memory span of a few seconds, Rio Ferdinand may have, but that’s a different kettle of fish. JJ is set for another disappointing trip to the North East, Spurs will have to settle for a draw, an 11/5 shot.
It’s been said that Middlesbrough’s Emanuel Pogatetz could start a ruck in an empty room, and still finish runner up; but don’t tell him who said it. The Austrian defender has either been booked or saw red in 14 matches this season, it’s 6/4 that he sees another card when he faces Joey Barton and Co. Man City have been depleted by injuries and suspensions, the Boro are the weekend nap at 11/4.
The weekend specials:
“Two halves at the Rovers” - Blackburn to score in both halves 2/1
“Come in handy” - Drogba to score two or more goals 4/1
“Cruising” - Stelios to score at any time 5/2
“April, Pool's day” - Liverpool to win with a clean sheet 6/5
“April, Mule's day” - Van Nistelrooy to score two or more goals 5/1
Quote of the week:
“Sometimes I dive, sometimes I stand.”
Drogba’s half right.
Stat, you’re a liberty:
If Bolton had held on to win all the matches where they had taken a lead, they would be 2nd in the Premiership.
Acc of the week:
Man Utd, Fulham, Liverpool and Middlesbrough tick all the right boxes, an acc on all four will pay 18/1.

Match Special:
Craig Bellamy to score at any time 5/4
I bring this to your attention because little Goliath is quite bright; he’s trying to remember animals by associating them with football. Whenever Ruud Van Nistelrooy comes off the bench for Man U, he shouts ‘horsey’, as Peter Crouch heads wide he cries ‘donkey’ and when Chelsea are playing, he shakes his head and murmurs ‘cheetahs’. It seems that everyone has cottoned on to Chelsea’s lack of sportsmanship, referees will be next. Any Chelsea player to be booked for diving / simulation against Birmingham is an 11/2 shot.
Amongst all the theatrics, there will also be a game of football. You’ve got to fancy Chelsea to take three points home from St Andrew’s, but 1/3 does not represent value. Playing the correct scores can solve this conundrum; Chelsea to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 is a 5/4 shot; now we’re cooking.
Phil Neville scored a beauty last week, unfortunately, it was an own goal, against Liverpool. His brother must have been literally seething. Everton are the lucky beneficiaries of a home fixture against Sunderland; they’re 3/10, certainties doesn’t really cover it.
You can’t get rich backing Everton, so taking an interest in a bookings market may prove to be a profitable play. Duncan Ferguson is a fearsome character, like Jason Donovan, he’s done a little bird in the past. Big Dunc took only nine minutes to find his name in the book last week in the Merseyside derby; he’s a 7/2 shot to have his name taken again.
Bolton’s Reebok stadium is a genuine fortress, but Manchester United have a tasty army. Wayne Rooney missed a couple of golden chances against Birmingham last week (If they were chicken legs, he would have put them away), but remains a class act. A rested Van Nistelrooy is back in favour and the talented wobbly-legged Ronaldo has already helped himself to a pair against Bolton earlier in the season. United are available at 10/11, its time to go to war.
Unfortunately for Villa fans, Milan Baros has a get-out clause in his contract that can be triggered if a bid is received for £7 million pound or more, virtually ruling out a potential transfer. The poster declaring ‘We’re not fickle, we just don’t like you’ sums up the supporters’ frustration towards O’Leary’s inability to motivate; an Aston Villa divided amongst itself can not possibly survive at Highbury. Arsenal may rest a couple of players with one eye on Wednesday’s 2nd leg against Juventus, but in all honesty, I’d back Arsenal’s reserves at 2/7 at home to the Villa.
Jermaine Jenas didn’t enjoy his time at Newcastle, he compared his time there to living in a goldfish bowl. On a related note, it’s a fallacy that goldfish only have a memory span of a few seconds, Rio Ferdinand may have, but that’s a different kettle of fish. JJ is set for another disappointing trip to the North East, Spurs will have to settle for a draw, an 11/5 shot.
It’s been said that Middlesbrough’s Emanuel Pogatetz could start a ruck in an empty room, and still finish runner up; but don’t tell him who said it. The Austrian defender has either been booked or saw red in 14 matches this season, it’s 6/4 that he sees another card when he faces Joey Barton and Co. Man City have been depleted by injuries and suspensions, the Boro are the weekend nap at 11/4.
The weekend specials:
“Two halves at the Rovers” - Blackburn to score in both halves 2/1
“Come in handy” - Drogba to score two or more goals 4/1
“Cruising” - Stelios to score at any time 5/2
“April, Pool's day” - Liverpool to win with a clean sheet 6/5
“April, Mule's day” - Van Nistelrooy to score two or more goals 5/1
Quote of the week:
“Sometimes I dive, sometimes I stand.”
Drogba’s half right.
Stat, you’re a liberty:
If Bolton had held on to win all the matches where they had taken a lead, they would be 2nd in the Premiership.
Acc of the week:
Man Utd, Fulham, Liverpool and Middlesbrough tick all the right boxes, an acc on all four will pay 18/1.

European Leagues Statistical Review
Dinamo's defence toughest in Europe
Dinamova nepropusna obrana
Sedam primljenih pogodaka u 18 kola, od čega devet gostovanja, uključujući Rijeku, Varaždin i Split - to je trenutna obrambena bilanca zagrebačkog Dinama. Dok se mnogo mjeseci Dinamo mogao dičiti apsolutnom najboljom gol-razlikom u Europi (po čemu je i dalje među prvih pet), danas se ponosi najčvršćom obranom u okviru državnih prvenstava. Razumljivo je da ovaj statistički podatak ne stavlja modru obranu ispred Juventusove ili Chelseajeve, ali odlično zvuči i govori o vrhunskoj ozbiljnosti u igri Kužeove momčadi.
Neposredno iza Dinama su dvije momčadi iz Gruzije, Lokomotiv i Dinamo iz Tbilisija, te ukrajinski Šahtar iz Donjecka, što govori o primatu obrana u zemljama bivšeg Sovjetskog Saveza. Od zapadnoeuropskih klubova, ističe se Bordeaux sa samo 12 primljenih golova u 26 kola, dok je Chelsea svoj izvanredan postotak, koji je bio niži od 0,50, pokvarila s nevjerojatnih 0:3 u Middlesbroughu. (O. Podnar)
Najmanje primljenih golova:
1. Dinamo Zagreb 7/18 0,39

European Leagues Review
Who's the best away team?
HNL: Naslovi se osvajaju u gostima
Dinamo drugi najbolji gost u Europi!
Sedmom pobjedom u gostima i ukupno 13. u 16 kola Dinamo je zadržao 11 bodova prednosti ispred drugoplasirane Rijeke. Sa sedam pobjeda (od čega šest uzastopnih) u osam gostovanja, Kužeova je momčad u vrhu Europe po broju gostujućih pobjeda. Ispred nje zasad je samo kijevski imenjak, koji je dobio svih osam utakmica izvan svog stadiona, a Dinamo dijeli drugo i treće mjesto s također ukrajinskim Šahtarom.
Kao domaćini, pred Modrima su pali Cibalia (0:4), Inter (0:6), Slaven (0:2), Zagreb (0:4), Međimurje (1:5), Rijeka (0:1) i Varteks (2:5), a jedini je pošteđen ostao Osijek (1:0.)
Prošlu je sezonu maksimirska momčad završila sa skromne tri pobjede na strani, čime je izjednačila svoj najlošiji gostujući učinak, onaj iz 1992. Najviše je gostujućih pobjeda Dinamo imao 1996/97 (13) te 2002/03 (12), dok je Hajduk najbolji učinak zabilježio 2003/04 (11).
Nevjerojatno, međutim, zvuči podatak da je Dinamo na matematičkoj sredini tekućeg prvenstva postigao ukupno onoliko pobjeda koliko i u cijelom prošlom prvenstvu - 13. Da bi paradoks bio još veći, od skromnih 13 prošlogodišnjih pobjeda, Dinamo je tri ostvario u Ligi za ostanak, dakle među slabijim suparnicima. Modri su, recimo i to, sada samo za tri pobjede "kraći" u odnosu na Hajdukov ukupan učinak od 16 pobjeda u cijeloj sezoni 2004/05.
Pobjede u gostima
Dosad je deset puta prvenstvo osvojio klub s najviše pobjeda u gostima, dok 1994., 1995., 1999. i 2002. uspjeh na strani nije donio i naslov prvaka.
U ovom pregledu donosimo broj pobjeda u odnosu na broj odigranih utakmica u gostima te konačni plasman momčadi s najviše pobjeda na tuđim terenima.

Najbolje gol razlike u europskim ligama
Dinamo u europskom vrhu!
S omjerom od 22:2, zagrebački je Dinamo u ovom trenutku najbolji europski klub što se tiče razlike pogodaka, računajući sva bolja europska ligaška natjecanja, dok su u apsolutnom poretku ispred Dinama samo slovenske Domžale s fantastičnih 26:4 uz jednak broj odigranih utakmica (osam).
Domžale je na vodeće mjesto svrstala pobjeda nad Rudarom iz Velenja od 8:0, rezultat s kojim se ni ovogodišnji Dinamo ne može mjeriti. No, i momčad koju vodi Josip Kuže ima se s čime pohvaliti: gostujuće pobjede nad Interom (6:0), Cibalijom i Zagrebom (po 4:0) te uspjeh protiv Rijeke u Maksimiru (5:1) čine današnju Dinamovu generaciju najuspješnijom po gol razlici u povijesti 1. HNL, što se tiče prva dva mjeseca sezone.
U ostatku Europe, najjače "praši" nizozemski lider AZ Alkmaar, s +18, dok nije loš ni drugoplasirani u tom prvenstvu, Feyenoord, s +12. Vodeći škotski klub, Hearts, nakon sedam uzastopnih pobjeda ima izvrstan omjer golova od 20:4, dok se slovački lider Spartak iz Trnave diči omjerom od 18:3.
Uzmemo li u obzir snagu prvenstava, najbolje stoji Chelsea, koji vodi u Premiershipu s fantastičnih 12:0. Iz Liga petice, s Chelseajem se može nositi samo Bayern, sa svojih 14:3. Najbolju razliku pogodaka u Francuskoj nema vodeći Lyon (+6), već petoplasirani Lens (+8). Talijansko i španjolsko prvenstvo dogurali su tek do trećeg kola, pa nijedna momčad nema zapaženu razliku pogodaka (Juventus +6, Inter +5, Getafe +3).
Najbolje gol razlike 2005/06
(do 19.9.2005.)
1. Domžale 8 26:4 (+22)
2. Dinamo Zagreb 8 22:2 (+20)
3. AZ Alkmaar 5 21:3 (+18)
4. Hearts 7 20:4 (+16)
5. Spartak Trnava 9 18:3 (+15)
6. Dinamo Kijev 9 20:6 (+14)
7. Šahtar Donjeck 9 19:5 (+14)
8. Dinamo Bukurešt 6 17:4 (+13)
9. Anderlecht 6 18:6 (+12)
10. Feyenoord 5 15:3 (+12)
11. Chelsea 6 12:0 (+12)
12. CSKA Sofija 5 15:4 (+11)

Opaska:
Brojevi na tablici označavaju broj odigranih utakmica, omjer golova i razliku golova. Nismo uzeli u obzir lige koje počinju u proljeće, zbog nesrazmjerno velikog broja odigranih utakmica.

S omjerom od 22:2, zagrebački je Dinamo u ovom trenutku najbolji europski klub što se tiče razlike pogodaka, računajući sva bolja europska ligaška natjecanja, dok su u apsolutnom poretku ispred Dinama samo slovenske Domžale s fantastičnih 26:4 uz jednak broj odigranih utakmica (osam).
Domžale je na vodeće mjesto svrstala pobjeda nad Rudarom iz Velenja od 8:0, rezultat s kojim se ni ovogodišnji Dinamo ne može mjeriti. No, i momčad koju vodi Josip Kuže ima se s čime pohvaliti: gostujuće pobjede nad Interom (6:0), Cibalijom i Zagrebom (po 4:0) te uspjeh protiv Rijeke u Maksimiru (5:1) čine današnju Dinamovu generaciju najuspješnijom po gol razlici u povijesti 1. HNL, što se tiče prva dva mjeseca sezone.
U ostatku Europe, najjače "praši" nizozemski lider AZ Alkmaar, s +18, dok nije loš ni drugoplasirani u tom prvenstvu, Feyenoord, s +12. Vodeći škotski klub, Hearts, nakon sedam uzastopnih pobjeda ima izvrstan omjer golova od 20:4, dok se slovački lider Spartak iz Trnave diči omjerom od 18:3.
Uzmemo li u obzir snagu prvenstava, najbolje stoji Chelsea, koji vodi u Premiershipu s fantastičnih 12:0. Iz Liga petice, s Chelseajem se može nositi samo Bayern, sa svojih 14:3. Najbolju razliku pogodaka u Francuskoj nema vodeći Lyon (+6), već petoplasirani Lens (+8). Talijansko i španjolsko prvenstvo dogurali su tek do trećeg kola, pa nijedna momčad nema zapaženu razliku pogodaka (Juventus +6, Inter +5, Getafe +3).

Opaska:
Brojevi na tablici označavaju broj odigranih utakmica, omjer golova i razliku golova. Nismo uzeli u obzir lige koje počinju u proljeće, zbog nesrazmjerno velikog broja odigranih utakmica.
