Steven Gerrard admits 2010 may well be his last chance to win the World Cup with England.
The Reds midfielder is desperate to qualify for next summer's finals in South Africa and feels that if they do, it could prove to be a defining moment in his international career.

"Will this be the last chance to qualify for a World Cup? I would say so," he said. "If we qualify I'll be 30 when the finals come around.

"For me it will be the last chance of doing well at a World Cup. Maybe by the time of the next one I might not be in my prime. That is a big motivation for me.

"We've now got two important qualifiers coming up and if we want to play in the finals we've got to get two good results."

The news of trainer Christophe Daum’s departure may have been a shock, but there is some good news for 1.FC Koeln with key defender Pedro Geromel deciding to sign a contract extension…

According to the latest reports coming from Italy, Lavezzi has accepted an offer from the Bianconeri following his rift with the Azzurri.

:sad:

Fat geordie bastard better prove himself.

It's true what Niall Quinn said though:

"Steve knows more than anyone what football means to people of this region, and I'm confident that he will be able to instil into our players exactly what it means to play for this football club."

And you can't start next season any worse than you ended last, the only way is up.

Steve will do a great job..

Sport.co.uk understands Arsenal have completed the signing of AFC Ajax centre back Thomas Vermaelen for a fee believed to be in the region of £10 million. According to sources inside the club, the deal for the Belgian international will be confirmed in the next 48 hours.

The 23-year-old moved to Ajax in 2004 from Antwerp outfit Germinal Beerschot and has since played 85 times for the Amsterdam giants as well as accumulating 21 caps for his country.

The news comes only hours after former Arsenal captain Tony Adams revealed that he had watched the player on behalf of Arsene Wenger but hinted that despite his obvious quality his physical attributes may let him down.

"I think Thomas is a very good player but I don’t think he’s ready for the Arsenal," Adams told Setanta.

"I don’t think the punters at Arsenal would like another small one.

"I don’t know whether he’ll end up going for a bigger player. We’ll see how much money we’ve got first.

"I have been looking at the Dutch league, but to be honest with you it’s been decimated.

"It’s a poor league at the moment, there’s one or two players but they’re leaving too early as well."


Wasnt sure if it had already been posted.

Fulham set to land former Arsenal striker for £3million?
03:00 PM 03 June, 2009
Fulham Football Club have been tipped to sign Jeremie Aliadiere.

The 26-year-old French striker is expected to leave Middlesbrough this summer, after the Teesside club lost their battle against relegation from the Premier League this season.

A host of clubs from around Europe, including Italian duo Roma and Fiorentina and Spanish side Villarreal, have been linked with the former Arsenal player, but Fulham have emerged favourites.

As Roy Hodgson looks to bolster his squad ahead of the Cottagers Europa League campaign next season, reports suggest he is willing to pay £3million for Aliadiere.

Is he a Liverpool player?
