Review of the BPL(3rd Week)

Not as many goals as the last two weeks but this time around,Shocking results were more of the criteria With Wigan being trashed by the same team last season by 9 goals to 1 shock everyone with a solitary goal to win it against Tottenham.But that is just kids talk..What really shock everyone even me,And i tell you i'm always cool with shocks.Was the big spending Manchester city with all that money spend on a star studded team against a team who barely even hit the 10 million mark in summer signings! Beating them 1-0!!! And just last week,they trashed a stronger Liverpool side!

Arsenal,Chelsea And Man Utd kept thier 100% percent clean record with Chelsea not conceding a goal just yet!So that's good news for the top 3 clubs in the league last season.Some injuries most notably Injury to Robin Van persie And the silly sending of Bolton's Goalkeeper Jussi For slapping his opponent in a hot tempered match.(Or so i heard it was).

Blackpool ending thier first game at home in the premier league with a respectable point against a team of Fulham's Structure.So overall,A good week.Expected more goals! But well this is football! The most unpredictable sports in my books!

Review:Chelsea Vs Stoke City

A game where you can quite certainly say 'A mismatch',With Chelsea Having not let in a goal since Mid April And Scoring goals till i already lost count.20 or more? I don't know.And we go to Stoke who Last met Chelsea and Ended the game with a scoreline where you better just quiet the game and have yourself a fruit farm to retire with.With already 12 goals in two games,Was this going to be another whitewash?
Chelsea vs Stoke Player Ratings
First half,And Chelsea Looked like they were about to go on a rampage again As An Early Strike by Ashley cole From the Left just flash past the post.Right after that,Stoke came back and were almost Rewarded With some nice skill From Ethrington to past Ferreira before releasing a cross to find Walters in which what appeared to be a miss shot caught the goalkeeper but not enough to deep under the bar.And well,Unfortunetly that appeared the last real chance for Stoke in the half As It was All Chelsea after that.All the persistent looked to have paid off,When a precise ball to Malouda Into the box Was dealt poorly by Shawcross and brought down Malouda for a penalty! Up step Lampard,The player which can score even by closing his eyes now with only 2 out of 29 missed from the spot.Can't blame Sorensen if that broke his self believe,But he did believe it was going to the left hand side And Made a good save to condemned Lampard to finally his third miss.Great start from Stoke!

It was later Drogba turn to try,Good to finally see his name.As A powerful Free kick was able to beat The wall but comfortably punch away from the keeper.AND FINALLY!!! It all finally paid of in the 32rd minute as A good pass through the middle By Of all people 'John Terry' Which actually summarize the whole Stoke quality of Attack in that half for Malouda in where he perfectly whislted the ball into the net past the out rushing goalkeeper.1-0 in the 32rd minute!Goal frenzy time? And it was almost two later with Ashely cole Connecting with a perfect volley but Slammed off the Crossbar and back into play.Thanks to a Smart cross by Drogba!
Chelsea 2 Stoke City 0: match report
Music to Stoke Ears,As the first half whistle was blown And time for Them to Reshuffle thier attack against a team which already didn't bother About the Strikers especially Record Signing Kenwyne Jones look like some player they were forced to take from the reserves.Start of the half,Chelsea continued to Dominate with A cross from Anelka connected to Drogba's head but straight into the keeper's hands.Finally,Something to Excite Stoke as Sub Whelan prove to be a great change as he made a good run into the Chelsea's half before slamming the ball which apparently hit the bar! Would have been a goal as keeper was All over the place with that strike as he already knew he couldn't do anything about it.It All started from A interception from Obi Mikel.

florent malouda
Finally,both Managers couldn't be pateint anymore but to take out the players of thier's that flop during the game,Jones coming off For Fuller While Kalou on Lampard who i received news he was injured even before the game!Minutes later,Cross from Drogba To Anelka in what seem to be an Easy interception by the goalkeeper turn horrific as Mistiming caught Anelka who was dashing with all might for the ball and any simple contact would have done enough.Second penalty of the game,And with Lampard of the field,Drogba could get his name on the scoreboard and Sorensen bailing Shawcross out,Can he bail himself out this time?....Not to be! Drogba good penalty in the middle giving Chelsea a win in the bag in the 77th minute!

In what was not all that,Drogba again with a nice up field ball into the Stoke defense which dealt very badly to clear the ball and allowing Kalou to get through but not for the keeper who did brilliantly to redeemed himself by blocking the shot.So,Another easy win And that makes it 14 goals Scored and none Conceded For the blues this season so far.But there is Constant in the dressing room after that as John Terry appeared to have injured his foot after a head to head collision on the ground with Rory Delap And Also Frank Lampard who Ancelotti said had a problem which i have not gotten a clue of.For Stoke,another Lost which makes it three out of three now for the team.Time to get cracking!.Overall,Florent Malouda,Drogba And Anelka Really played well in my books! They controlled the game really well! This means bad news For Teams if Chelsea Continue their 'Unearthly' Performance

Man Utd vs West Ham Review

It was to be a game where two teams HAD to win With West ham Having to win to not equal the record losing two first games in a long long time which takes us back all the way to 1977,I wasn't even born yet at that time..And Man Utd Not wanting to drop points after last Week Draw Against a Weakened Fulham Side..And well It was Man Utd who avenged that defeat to Inflict West Ham to a record they didn't want.
Battle hard: West Ham defended well early on
It was a equal game to say in the first dew Minutes with both Teams having an Equal Amount of Possession But Slowly and alright i mean fast.The game started to turn onto Man Utd side as they got into the flow As prove when Nani first time Strike Hit the bar from a poor parry from Robert Green In the Early stages,And From there all seem to go down the drain.Man Utd showing that Brilliant Slick passing and play which showed they are still there to be the best in England!

Even the Oldies like Ryan Giggs And Paul Scholes Countinued where they leave off With Brilliant Performance yesterday with Scholes Controlling the middle And Giggs Showing that old legs still can do it!Am I going to much to the Side of Man Utd now?..Alright to be fair,Players Like Kieren Dyer 'WAS' a Treat in the early stages with some good skills and Parker doing what a defensive player always do! Oh yeah And Don't Forget the Man Utd Defence Who played brilliantly Notably Nemanja Vidic Who made two great last ditch tackle during the game on Charlton Cole
Paying the penalty: Jonathan Spector brings down Ryan Giggs in the box





And finally all that attacking paid off As A Step in By Ryan Giggs into the box was poorly handled by Jonathan Spector who had no reason to go for the Challenge as there were still team mates handing some backup.And up Step Wayne Rooney in what seem like An eternity with his last goal taking back all the way to the 3rd month of the year in the 33rd minute.That could hand in some Confidence and the feeling which he was used to before.And from there,The word 'beautiful' had a real meaning,6 minutes later Fletcher Had a go with a sweet right foot that Forced Robert Green into a brilliant save that might have just put a smile on Cappelo's Face.
Relief: Wayne Rooney's first goal since March gave Man Utd the lead at half-time
Then it was the Apple of Fergusan's eye Ryan Giggs who again tore the badly bang up Opposing Defence when he made a clever jinx Before Putting in an Excellent Cross into The path Of Berbatov Which shot got deflected and when back to him but failed to pouch on the rebound as it aimlessly when into the crowd.It was finally Almost the end Of The First half and Probably West Ham were just waiting more of the whistle Then actually playing And for man Utd? They hope it could go for hours and they wouldn't mind.Suddenly! Out of nowhere once again,this Time a superb Cross with precision into the feet of Nani who beat the offside trap And everything.He just had to put the freaking ball into the net!And what happen? He flunk the opportunity by putting the ball over the bar.

FINALLY! Half time,Maybe it was Time for Abram Grant to put in the tactics he had back at Chelsea.So,the start of the Second half! Nothing change.Man Utd continued to press forward And just minutes into the game.Man Utd Scored thier second goal,Off a brilliant passing show involving Nani to Scholes to Rooney And back To Nani Who burst into the Defence And Might have scared Gabbidon abit as he lost his footing and basically from there he was Blacking his Dignity from going down by flapping his legs And making Nani's Work easier by putting full force into his strike to make it 2:0 In the 49th Minute to end the game! Thanks for watching folks! Game Goodnight!.What? Oh yeah sorry we still got half of a game to go...oops!

Few minutes later in the 52nd minute,It was about to be De ja Vu All over again as Brilliant passing play ending with a heel flick into the path Of Wayne Rooney who burst through the defence like a hot knife had to just score pass the keeper but Gabbidon appeared to become a 'man' this time around by making a last ditch tackle to sent Rooney Sprawling onto the ground like A kid learning to walk!
Class: Nani sends Danny Gabbidon to the floor on his way to doubling Man Utd's lead
Suddenly,The manager might have Appeared to offer them a pay rise or something through some Device thingy or whatsoever as out nowhere.3 minutes later they should they could play some attractive football too As This time It was Charlton Cole who made a cheeky flick to Kieren Dyer who was apparently the best player for West ham have his Shot Hit the outside of the post!..Best Chance and only chance as Man Utd probably Just gave a chance perhaps? Upson later had one for his team as Rooney burst pass the defense had given no choice but to hack That pocket rocket down to earn himself a yellow card.Can it get any worst?

Apparently yes,Right after a substitution That welcomed Mexican Barrera for Faubert(Hernandez would be have been cursing at Fergusan for not letting him play).Evra from a Throw in found Paul Scholes who's shot when straight into Paul Green's hands.With Nani and co Increasingly Frustrating West ham who had no idea what hit them,It Was maybe Ryan giggs Chance to score? With a free kick his shot was wasted.Wait,That word doesn't seem to go well with a player of that awesomeness!

And again,i Don't know how many times i have Already Used the word 'Slick' But i got no choice but to put it again as Paul Scholes Made a good pass to O'Shea in which gave a great pass to Nani in the box And with no where to go,He was forced to put in a cross in where Berbatov put His karate skills into play with a perfect Flying volley In Where Robert green And co Could only see in Awe. 3:0 In 68th Minutes And over excitement must have got onto him as he took off his shirt and got booked for it!...Game over now? Well Since rules are rules,We have to continue watching.
Volley joy: Berbatov caps off a fine personal performance by scoring Man Utd's third
And well it was already in the bag And nothing else to do.Fergie Decided to used all this subs by taking off Paul Scholes,Berbatov And Evans in exchange of Michael Carrick,Owen And Smalling respectively.Still Man Utd press forward and they defiantly not taking their foot off the gas. Kieron Dyer comes off as Frederic Piquionne takes his place.Well it wasn't a great Welcome for two out of the three man Utd players as Smalling almost gave the ball to Cole,Own giving away the ball and Also Fletcher having a thick of things all of that in 1 minute!.

And what appeared to be the first sniff of West ham at the Utd Team for a long time But that was all a cheap trill as Once again Vidic(I don't know what he has for Cole) Got his legs Just about enough to Block Cole from making a run At goal. And finally It's a another chance and he should do better, Scott Parker evades Smalling in the box but his shot is awful and it goes well wide of Van der Sar's goal when it shoul have at least hit the target.Not a very good introduction so far For Smalling but his still learning,not easy being in a team of this structure.

Finally,What i have been waiting for,Fans being abit 'lost' And leaving the stadium even before the game has ended without any permission.And it must have been contagious as this 'Feeling lost Infection' Spreaded around quickly.In what seem to be the first time Van Der Sar actually touched the ball for 90th minutes,Piqquone with a thunderous run into the box when straight into his hands.Ah the bliss of touching the ball.
Well beat: Green looks on as Manchester United score again
With two minutes left on the clock,Stanislas Goes on for Boa Morte.Does it even matter already? Must Make a difference perhaps?..Why he came on that late? All those answers,i'm afraid i can't answer haha!Well finally game ends! Phew! Time to go and have myself a coffee..Before that i need to go to the loo!


There you go,Starting of premier leagues,Teams that were on top staying up and teams that were at the bottom still staying there!.That's all for now take care.

Games that are going to be reviewed!

Well since i'm just a human who 'has things that to do like normal humans' :P
I'm can't unfortunately do a review of all the games that are to be played this week


Among the games i'm going to do a review is:

Arsenal Vs Blackburn(Review already did,Down this post)
Man Utd vs West Ham
Chelsea Vs Stoke
Liverpool vs WBA
Bolton Wanderers vs Birmingham City

So yeah! Check those reviews out! :D

Arahvin and the ever improving Walcott to Arsenal's Rescue!

Arsenal Finally huffed and puffed to carve out a narrow win away At Ewood park! With goals by Andrey Ashavin And Theo Walcott who both scored in last week trashing of Blackpool doing the damage to Avenge defeat against Blackburn at the same ground last year with the SAME Scoreline! Giving them a perfect undfeated record in three games although there is going to be a little worry of Dutchman Robin Van persie who finally just came back from Injury! And I'm quite worried with the form of Laurent Koschielky to as he didn't perform as i expected so is Ces Fabregas who still seems off pace!...Is it still because of the transfer case?..Hopefully not...Well anyway,this was the official line up of the teams:


Arsenal XI:
Manuel Almunia
Bakary Sagna
Gael Clichy
Laurent Koshielhy
Thomas Vermaelen
Alexandre Song
Cesc Fabregas
Abou Diaby
Robin Van Persie
Theo Walcott
Andrey Arshavin

Subs: Lukasz Fabianski,

Maroune Chamakh
,
Kieren Gibbs,
Emmanuel Eboue,

Jack Wishire
,
Thomas Rosicky
,
Carlos Vela

Blackburn XI:
Paul Robinson
Michel Salgado
Ryan Nelsen
Christopher Samba
Gael Givet
Mame Biram Diouf
Phil Jones
Morten Gamst Pedersen
El hadji Diouf
Vincenzo Grella
Nikola Kalinic

Subs:
Mark Bunn
Pascal Cimbonda
Martin Olsson
Brett Emerton
David Dunn
Steven Nzonzi
David Holliet

As expected from some previews,Changes were made from the team that beat Blackpool last week,With Robin van persie Coming on for Maroune Chamakh and Cesc Fabregas for the injured samir Nasri in the starting 11 as they were considered fit to play...And Also the welcoming back of Defender Laurent Koschielky who was suspended for a game after being sent off against Liverpool in the first week And Alexandre Song getting back his preferred position at the heart of midfield.While Maroune Chamakh And Jack Wilshire who impressed last week sitting on the bench! But with Blackburn known for their aggressive and dirty Tactics,Well it seem alright to put players who have 'been there' in the heart of things...Anyway,it was a great start From Arsenal as they didn't seem to have any problem As Abou Diaby(Best player on the field for me) almost getting on the score sheet but just whistled out...



Theo Walcott


With the game getting more pacey plus with the torrent of rain falling on the grounds of Ewood park! Arsenal took the first blow of things with Theo walcott got at end of things to Score his 4th goal in the 20th minute! The goal caused by a good ball from Robin van persie to find the Pacey hot pocket who manage to beat the offside trap and slide the ball in.,

That wasn't the end of things as Arsenal countinued pushing forward..But with all the pressure it was Blackburn who equalized with on loan Mame Biram Diouf from Man Utd Scored in the 27th minute...With Arsenal's Defence falling to Contend El Hadji Diouf Who manage to open up space for the Young player.
BPL - Blackburn Rovers vs Arsenal,El Hadji Diouf and Laurent Koscielny (Getty Images)

The Second half started with Both teams not giving in as They continued to play that type of game which was there in the first half! But Six minutes into the game,Andrey Ashavin got Arsenal's lead back With a cross from Bakary Sagna that Was found by Cesc Fabregas which was blocked well by the defense but unfortunately found Arshavin who made no mistake to beat Paul Robinson for the second time of the match on the 52nd minute.

Arsenal Later made a few changes with The introduction of Thomas Rosicky And Jack wishire On for Cesc Fabregas and Goalscorer Andrey Asrhavin.The change prove delightful as both players added some energy and influence in the game.And Perhaps Jack Wilshire could have even scored and make it 3-1 if he hadn't slipped at that point.

Well the game finally Ended,With Blackburn Failing to Stop Arsenal from Thier great start to the League.But as Earlier said,There would be Worry for Arsenal As thier top Striker Robin Van Persie who got injured for the latter of last season seem to be injured again.With possibly an ankle injury,We would still need confirmation from the Physios back at the lab.

Well I'm still also really worried about Cesc Fabregas as that transfer case doesn't seem to have be forgotten cause he really seem out of place earlier with lack of ball control which we saw last season.One player i really loved was Abou Diaby Who For this three weeks,Haven't really Not impress me..With his slick passing and dribbling.He would definitely be on top of the list if he continues to play like that.Unlike Cesc Fabregas,He really did well to control the heart of the field.And Also Theo Walcott And Andrey Arshavin who both have been the main reason why Arsenal are up there,With Walcott Already Scoring four...Don;t forget Arshavin who also has collected 2 goals!But what particularly pleased me was the hair do of Alexandre Song who kinda reminded me of Abel xavier :)

For Blackburn,They really showed they got the quality to be among the top up in the english league as Players like Samba And Compatriot Nelsen really Controlled the movement of Chamakh and co who in fact would have attacked more if not for their Defensive skills. Plus with El Hadji Diouf Pace and skills did indeed give Arsenal some scary moments as seen in the build up to their only goal!

Well Overall It was a great game...Not to many goals but this is the greatest league in the world! We have to expect toughness ;)

My man of the match:Abou Diaby

Fifa world cup 2018 In England?

Well! Did i get you excited with the title? Well yeah! THIS ISN'T A JOKE! Although i can't guarantee you yet till the results come out but Fifa delegates with a tight schedule did turn up to inspect a host of potential World Cup grounds! Coming in a presidential helicopter...The Senior Football fifa delegation first stop by at Sunderland's Home ground 'Stadium of light' where they were Welcome by 2 time World cupper Neil Quinn who's now the chairman of the club! And perhaps they also did have some fun by having a 'world cup type penalty game' Although Neill did miss the target but he insist he got the more important goal on target!
Later on,they took off 12 miles up to NewCastle utd grounds 'St james park' Who just came back to top flight football! With regularly catering to over 50,000 fans per week! It's not only the World cup Stadium but also what is to offer?..Looking good? yeah i know! ;)..After just over two Hours!

Man Utd and Man City which are the 2nd and 6th largest stadiums in England! With just half and hour Flight and been taken by a cabbie to the stadium!Before being greeted by City's Directors(Yeah just look at the great hospitality of The English!,Do other countries do that to?)..Later it was to the home of Man Utd where Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand where there to talk about their World cup bid
Well,After all those discussion and crap...The Fifa Delegates Went to a reception in london later for another discussion! Before moving on to inspect joint bidders Portugal and Spain! The final Decision will be made By 2nd of December!
What do i think? Well It would be a great great Contribution as it will get to offer jobs,Economy and etc! Plus,Where else wouldn't be better but the home of Football?!(Yeah England were first to invent football,so don't go around making stories!!!)...
And I think the Stadiums that are being looked at is just amazing as this Stadiums were not only made for Games and accommodating fans,this stadiums were also made for Comfort as well! You could easily get a coffee during the break,And the comfort like i said is just top class! This stadiums have everything for fans to be as comfartable as possible.So i think it's really a important factor in England's bid!Do Fifa have to be persuaded more then they already have?...
They for me,were looking for the Infrastructure of the club! And this stadiums and clubs have got that! And also The English premier league is the the most watch league in the whole world with An amazing range of World class players coming to the league says it all!

This words would mean nothing now as Fifa has the power To make the decision! Hopefully the octopus is right or else his becoming my supper!


Let's all pray that It will come back to the land where football is the way!..And kick out Russia who seems to be the heaviest treat to England's hope now!

What a sight! So lovely...So...so BEAUTIFUL!...No wonder The girlish guys like Christiano ronaldo play this crap! :P...

I think i can finally put something ahead of girls for the first time!..And yes I'm straight! :O...I think i'm falling in love with 'someone else' hehe....;) Hello sexyyyy! XD




What the..What the heck?!,,Oh geez! His really going to get screwed for that! What the heck he think this is? Somekind of action scene show!..Well i gotta admit that he is kinda good! LOOK OUT WORLD! A new Prodigy is in town!...Bye bye Drogba looks like your going to get sent off! HAHAHAHAHAHAA

Alright yes we all know you got a square and some nipples! Enough with the posing and sent him off!..Alright i'm serious! Stop it!...STOP IT!!! DAMMIT REFEREE!!!! Stop tauting me with that pose!!! SENT HIM OFFFF!!! What the hell that was a foul??? Drogba isn't off??! Scre you referee!!! That's it somebody give me a gun!!!

Hey thanks alot! you just pissed me off! TAKE THAT! Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!
HANDBALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! RED CARD FOR SURE! Sent him off ref! Oh i forgot your dead oops!! You Freaking asss!!! Just one shot could kill you!!!!??? Oh well,Only one conclusion!..That player got into 'to much' of the game till he became gay ;)..OMG! football is producing gay players!!!!...Want prove?

Have i prove my point yet..yes? GOOD!


Well sorry about this random post cause i basically got nothing to post about right now!!! And yeah! The beautiful game isn't so beautiful anymore with players like the one's up there Ruining the game!..Catch up with my next post and this time it's something more 'unrandom? ;)

Champions league update(English teams involve)

Going to watch Tottenham game against new Boys later! Currently Behind by 3 goals to 2 but i think they will go through! Come on Supurs! No harm giving some support to a fellow english club right? ;)

We love you arsenal we do..OH ARSENAL WE LOVE YOU!

Arsenal just being stunning! And theo walcott showing you don't have to be big to fit in!



Show your kids...Or your kids..kids? yeah show the whole world! :P

Can Machester City Actually do it?..Will they be the next Chelsea!?

Well i know,I have been talking about Manchester City so so so so -takes a breather- Sooooo much! If you have been following this blog lol...Anyway I'm bored so yeah! Time to evaluate if ManChester City will succeed with the Sheikh's money and gosh! last game against liverpool Really showed the strength their team have! everything was just perfect! well it's easy actually(Just have a whole lot of money and bam...players will be rushing to your team as if your a top club like Arsenal ;D)...The sheikhs were present on that day! Might have given abit of determination to the players to perform for the guy who's are basically setting them for life!
So,is that just a short term,Long term,Can they do it?...Or won't they?..All this questions been asked over and over again...For me Honestly,IT'S A NO! Yes i'm not kidding! It's a no!..And yeah i'm sure it isn't an typo error! Well alright they have all the talent already in the team,But have they gel well together and are they really playing for the passion of the game!? Ever seen small unknown clubs beating top clubs with star studded players?...Why? Because this players have build that passion even though they don't get much and that never die attitude which Every team needs!..

SECONDLY
,yeah i bold that word just To give more colour to the topic :P..Anyway,have they got the experience of there on top? Like basically there's times where teams which when on top drop to second because of the lack of experience!...For Arsenal,Man Utd,Liverpool And Chelsea...They have been on top of that pile before so leave that out..Of course you all would be thinking and saying that they got Tevez,Toure And etc...But what about the rest? AND LAST

AND FINALLY
,The important factor..Teamwork!? Right now i haven't actually seen them working together 'fully'..This probably happens due to the fact that all of them got talent(No denying) BUT!..can they change that to teamwork?.....SO YEAH!!!! BASICALLY AND SIMPLY MANCHESTER CITY FOR ME,HAVEN'T GOT THE 'SKILLS' YET!....TO WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE :)

TEAM OF THE WEEK!

Well starting from this week i will make a weekly update of my team of the week selection!

GK: Joe Hart(Man city)-He for me has been sensational! Without him I'm pretty sure Man City wouldn't be undefeated now! With already 2 clean sheets! His certainly a top jewel for not only Man city but the English national team who have been criticism for their Jinx in producing error prone goalkeepers like Paul Robinson and Scott Carson to name a few







DEFENDERS/Wing backs: Gareth Bale(Tottenham)-I don't know what got into him last week but he was just super amazing at left back and he even scored all of Spurs goals and who could have forgotten that screamer of a goal to put them 2 goals up! Amazing week! his in my list for sure!




Bacary Sagna(Arsenal)-He has always impress me! Although he hasn't scored like forever in the premier league but his influence for Arsenal is amazing! He just controls the Right wing for Arsenal with some amazing crosses into the box at times too! Influential in their last game! He even made an Assist for Diaby to score the 4th goal for Arsenal!






Defenders/Full back-Kolo Toure(Man city)-Man city didn't buy him just to see thier money fly way from Arsenal and to believe he was a striker before! Played just about well enough to Put him in my team! Don't forget about his Contribution to other then Joe Hart's Heroics as he gave quite a resemblance of protection to the keeper against Liverpool!




Thomas Vermealen(Arsenal)-Although he didn't get really tested at the back but he did well when needed! Sorry,but his in the list ^^



Wingers: Theo Walcott(Arsenal) We was just absolute Stunning for Arsenal! Scored a Hat trick to relieve the great memory of him scoring it against croatia in a Qualifier! I expect more and more things to come from this little pacey man! He was the toast of the Arsenal team! Well patience is a virtue after all!





Saloman Kalou(Chelsea)-Another small pacey man who like Theo walcott...Didn't fail to impress as he was in hand with two goals in the 6:0 win!




Strikers:Andy Carrol(Newcastle United)-If he wasn't in this list then i was either An idiot or This list is rigged! Many predicted him not to score even a goal but he came back with something more special...A HATTRICK!!!...He has proven he can continue the famous 'Number 9' Shirt in Newcastle! Would love to see Fabio finally make one freaking correct choice of putting him in the England team!






Nicholas Anelka(Chelsea)-Probably still remembered for his brawl with French manager Raymond Domenech in the World cup camp! But this performance maybe...just maybe have silence a certain group of people as like Saloman Kalou,Scored two goals Himself! Looks like he doesn't give a prob about the Case going on With the French association!
