F**k Arsene Wenger, Says Noel Gallagher
The lead guitarist of Manchester rock band Oasis has launched a stunning attack on the Arsenal manager, and has given his backing to the Kaka transfer...
Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist of English rock band Oasis, has added his two-pence to the Kaka transfer saga.
Kaka's father and agent, Bosco Leite, is currently engrossed in talks with Manchester City director general Garry Cooke over a world record £108m move to Eastlands.
“Looks like the Sheiks are starting to put their money where their mouths are," Gallagher wrote on his personal blog.
"It looks like Robinho was just the start. Huge amounts of money are being talked about. Obscene, some have said."
Gallagher has attacked Manchester United and Arsenal managers, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, due to the opposition to the transfer. His attack on Wenger is certain to cause a huge stir.
“Ferguson's face was a picture in his press conference yesterday though. That in itself was worth £100m. He looked shell-shocked,” Gallagher continued.
“Bring it on, I say. F**k morals. F**k Arsene Wenger and his socialist football nonsense.
“F**k all that ******** about the club losing its identity. What identity?? The fact that we've been skint for 30 years?”
Gallagher's group Oasis are famous for a string of worldwide hits, including Wonderwall, All Around The World, and Champagne Supernova.
Gallagher is close friends with Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero.

A bit low on the list, but still the only Milan keeper on the list.

A bit low on the list, but still the only Milan keeper on the list.I never noticed that part. Still, considering the disregard for Brazilian GKs in general, and that the list contains 70 names, 14th isn't all that bad as he's in pretty good company. OT, but I think Cech was rated too high, as he hasn't accomplished a whole lot in terms of team success on the club and international level.
Cech and van der Saar have gotten a bit of extra hype. Not entirely unwarranted I must confess. But I do believe Frey is as good if not better than the Dutch.
@Miz: Among Brazillians I think Julio Cesar has certainly earned a rep for himself.

There's also the small matter of senor Claudio André Taffarel, who's at 10. 
Cesar is the only other Brazilian in the Top 73. I agree with the choices, but not with the rankings.

A bit low on the list, but still the only Milan keeper on the list.Sorry, but this just isn't true (or did you mean the only present Milan keeper on the list?)!
47 - Seb Rossi (!?)
27 - Jens Lehmann
Anyway, what kind of list is this? Chech 8th, Seaman 10th and Barthez 11th??? Pagliuca over Peruzzi? Zaki, Howard, Villar, Nigmatullin??
But no Olmeta, no Tacconi, no De Goeij, Mondragon, Keller, Song'o? Hmh,...
This also inspired me to make a small comparison:
This year -- Till approx. 2000
Milan - Dida (BRA)-- Pazzagli/Rossi (IT)
Juventus - Buffon (IT)-- Tacconi/Peruzzi (IT)
Inter - Julio Cesar (BRA)-- Zenga/Pagliuca (IT)
Roma - Doni (BRA)-- Cervone/Konsel/Antonioli (IT/AUT/IT)
Lazio - Carrizo (ARG)-- Orsi/Marchegiani/Peruzzi (IT)
Fiorentina - Frey (FR)-- Marreggini/Toldo (IT)
Genoa - Rubinho (BRA)-- Loria/Tacconi (IT)
Sampdoria - Castellazzi (IT)-- Pagliuca/Sereni/Ferron (IT)
Napoli - Iezzo (IT)-- Taglialatela/Mondini (IT)
Parma - Pavarini (IT)-- Taffarel/Buffon/Nista (BRA/IT)
Notice the change?

Sorry, but this just isn't true (or did you mean the only present Milan keeper on the list?)!
Yeah, the present keepers from Milan.
I was comparing Dida and Abbiati, thinking that Abbiati may be in the top 70 something. Kalac isn't good enough. Besides Lehmann only played a handful of matches. Rossi however did.
Say what you will about Dida's form going down the tubes over the past few seasons, but it wasn't till after he became one of the top GKs in the world that the majority of Brazilian keepers were no longer considered pond scum and finally started catching the attention of European clubs. Nowadays we have J. Cesar, Gomes, Helton, Doni, Rubinho, and the list goes on, so he deserves a little nod for that.
Anyway, here's the actual reason I came here before I got distracted (thanks, acid).
I know goalkeepers everywhere would like to catch Buffon fever, but this is ridiculous.

Juve felled by flu epidemic
Tuesday 20 January, 2009
Juventus have a crisis on their hands after Gianluigi Buffon's flu spread to both substitute goalkeepers, Tiago Mendes and Olof Mellberg.
The World Cup winning goalkeeper was meant to make his Serie A comeback last Sunday against Lazio, but was ruled out on Saturday evening by a bout of flu.
Now Buffon's illness has spread throughout the team and Coach Claudio Ranieri has very limited options for next week's crunch match with Fiorentina.
Worryingly, substitute goalkeeper Alex Manninger is one of those hit by the virus and third choice Antonio Chimenti has preliminary symptoms, so Juve could well be without all three shot-stoppers.

Agree about the Dida bit, he's been under a cloud ever since he made his debut. Few, if any, have acknowledged his talents on the worldwide scale. Part of it is maybe him being black, I think he's the only black keeper that made it to the top in Brazil in what, 50 years?! They always prefer the white bread for the Selaco spot.
Still I don't give a hoot about it all, a half decent performance from Dida topped with an impossible save or two, is all I need for my Dida fix.QUOTE (MizNelson @ Jan 21 2009, 02:00 AM)

I read on some site that when Dida made his Brazil debut in '95, the match commentators didn't bother hiding their surprise at seeing a black GK in net.
Back then, he was the first starting black Brazilian keeper in half a century, and the first and only starting GK to go by a nickname (others used just their last names: Peres, Ceni, Taffarel, etc.). He was also the first black GK to even start, let alone play, for Brazil in a World Cup since Barbosa in 1950, and one of only two Brazilian goalies ever to wear the captain's armband (Emerson Leao the other).
In 2003, he became the first Brazilian keeper ever to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. In 91 total caps, he conceded less than 70 goals, which is quite impressive, and winning the WC in '06 would've solidified his legend. *sigh* However, he was never entirely liked in Brazil because of his personality.
During his Milan career, he was the only black GK in Serie A, though I'm not sure if that's still the case nowadays. Only one other Afro-Brazilian GK in Europe I know of is Helton, who plays for Porto.

To arms, then, Captain. Get your sword out. Our battle will be legendary!
Other than that, an excellent history lesson, Miz. I knew every bit of it, but all said and done, pound for pound Dida has always been one of the top keepers in the world. It's only his mistakes that take a bit of the gloss off, but even those were down to his confidence levels, not technical abilities.At the end of the day, I've always enjoyed the full Dida pacakge. Still do.

I hate to get in the way of romance, but there were a couple of items of note in the disciplinary commission's findings on Tuesday:
1. Inter got a 20,000 fine for its fans having thrown rockets into the Atalanta fan sector - one Atalanta fan had to go to hospital.
2. Lavezzi got a 1500 euro fine for diving and Hamsik got a 2 game ban.
3. Sinisa Mihailovic got a 1-game touchline ban for saying naughty things to the 4th official (so he'll be in the stands this weekend).
