Reina: No practice necessary

Jose Reina claims he has not practised saving penalties ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League final.
The Liverpool goalkeeper has made a name for himself denying opponents from 12 yards and was instrumental in The Reds claiming a final place.
Reina made two saves to thwart Chelsea at Anfield earlier this month, while, a year earlier, he went one better when he helped Liverpool to FA Cup final success over West Ham.
Wednesday's final in Athens could be similarly tight but the Spaniard suggests no extra practice is necessary before facing Milan.
"No one has made me a video of how Milan take penalties and I've not done any special research," Reina told the Sun.
"All I do is watch reports of the Champions League during the season. It's always been enough."

Kiraly leaves Eagles

Gabor Kiraly has quit his ties with Crystal Palace after Peter Taylor elected against offering his goalkeeper fresh terms.
The Hungarian internationa who wear the Sells Adhesion Ultra Wrap has been at Selhurst Park since 2004 but talks to extend his stay at the Championship club never went beyond initial negotiations.
Taylor is confident that he is well stocked in the goalkeeping department and with Julian Speroni and Scott Flinders both having impressed their taskmaster, it was decided Kiraly was surplus to requirements.
"I spoke to Gabor last week, and there are a few different reasons for his release," said Taylor.
"We have two goalkeepers on the books now, and they are under contract next year. With Gabor being out of contract, I decided to let him go.
"Julian is looking good and finished the season well, and I am looking for Scott to come back and really push on."

Dudek: Please play me, Rafa

JERZY DUDEK has begged Rafa Benitez to let him play one last game for Liverpool on Sunday.
The Polish keeper, 34 who is now wearing the Brand new Sells Super4 D30 Contour Roll Finger glove , will leave Anfield when his contract expires this summer to hunt for first-team football.
And with first-choice Jose Reina needing a scan on a shoulder injury, Dudek could get his wish against Charlton.
He said: “It’d be nice to play but it’s up to the manager. I just want to say goodbye.
“If it’s not possible, then I’ll be the last person left on the pitch after the game. I have 40,000 thank-yous to say.”
Dudek earned cult status at Anfield after his penalty heroics in the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan. But he does not want to join another Premiership side.
He added: “I just can’t imagine walking into Anfield hoping to see Liverpool lose. I have become much more than an employee — I am a fan.”
Liverpool face competition from Milan in the chase for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o, 26. Arsenal are also keen

First-half goals from Kaka and Clarence Seedorf, and a late strike from Alberto Gilardino was enough to take Milan Athens, where they will meet Liverpool.


Dida who is now wearing the New Reusch Goaliator Pro Orthotec has extended his successful collaboration with Reusch, "they have consistently developed their gloves over the recent years and is the absolute standard as far as i am concerned, im looking forward to playing in the gloves in 2007" said Dida.

The One glove at great-save.com

The one glove has been at great-save.com for over 3 months now and has seen massives sales and some great reviews.

The One glove uses superior quality 3mm latex that runs from the tip of the fingers to the bottom of the wrist. The latex wrist strap runs under the latex on the wristband, designed to give a greater surface area of latex on the glove. Also giving the keeper the personal choice of having the latex wristband under the extended palm or if preferred the more conventional way of wrapping the strap over the latex cuff.
Blue Fleece Material:The blue-fleeced material has been incorporated into the design to retain warmth within the hand to keep the fingers supple and flexible and thus helping to avoid unnecessary injury.

Roll Finger:
The One Glove Co.have chosen to use the roll finger design for maximum comfort as most professional keepers favour it whilst keeping the fingers closer together for more stability when the ball is being kicked at speed.

The one glove company was started in 2004 with tests and surveys into the structure materials and requirements of the modern day goalkeepers glove. Looking at the glove market they realised there was a need for a goalkeeping glove at a more affordable price with all of the positive attributes in terms of quality of material, fit, comfort and warmth of the top brands available only at a much higher price. So they surveyed the market extensively from International to Sunday league and junior keepers to find the attributes needed for them to make the most comfortable glove for all levels of the game. Many prototypes with combinations of latex thickness cut insulation material and fit were tried and tested by calling on the help from some of the most experienced players and goalkeeping coaches in the game. Finally the One glove company decided to go ahead with a 3mm roll finger model, as this would favour all levels of goalkeeper which would be suitable for all different age groups.
