Adios Alonso,Arbeloa

I KNOW I said it's OK to let Xabi go if he really wanted to go but still.

It's a great loss.

Why Xabi, why? You aren't even sure if u actually get to play at Real Madrid.

(talk about sour grapes)

I'm at home now, in Malaysia for a 2-week vacation. I'd like to write more, I'd like to pour down my whole emotion here, I really do, but I hate this 14-year-old keyboard. My Abah got this keyboard in 1995 when he first bought a PC. Since then. no keyboards worked except this ancient,sclerodermatic keyboard. Others would be of use for a few months then they would eventually break down on their own account. And I can't figure out how to connect my laptop to the internet. Buta teknologi.

With Alvaro Arbeloa also gone, Liverpool are back to the same condition we went thru last season, if not worse. Worse, as far as central midfield position is concerned, and same,as far as right back position is concerned. We're back to one right back and we lose one central mifielder. Lucas will be able to do the work to a certain extent, but only to that certain extent, if you know what I mean. Does this mean Stevie will be pushed back to central midfield and Torres be given a striking partner that is Voronin? Or will Yossi be given more shots at central midfield where he does best? We probably may not see Stevie in his most lethal form next season, as a second striker.

And then there is an issue about that old prick again. Is he losing his mind? The season has hardly started and he has already started to bicker with Rafa Benitez. If you wanna know my take on this, I think this whole 'mind game' is hillarious. Who is Alex Ferguson to question Rafa Benitez's achievement with Liverpool? That senile old dickhead probably doesn't even remember his own history!!
