The Little Wizard and his Class Act

Cesc Fabregas

Is this boy a little wizard?
He is definitely coming of age at only age 20. What a fantastic showing against cross borough rivals Tottenham.
Now Tottenham have just got to be the most psychologically deficient team when it comes to derbies. Not this side of the century will they believe that they can actually beat Arsenal.

Not to take much away from Cesc.
Good thing he is not going to Madrid, what a waste that would be. The Professor has conjured up a miracle worker from the centre of the midfield.

Cesc has VISION.

The Barcelona factory definitely does churn out some mega stars.
Cesc could not get into the team there ... Giovanni dos Santos is just getting there, Iniesta, despite his excess skill, still only command coming in from the bench. Messi, until recently was also a bench warmer.

How The Professor managed to pry Cesc from this factory at such a reasonable investment - amazing!

Goals from Adebayor were off the hook, Fabregas' goal? What more needs to be said? You have to bow down to the class.

Darn it all in the end, the Arses are top of the Premiership, this means Anfield has moved from our 'dizzy' heights.
We'll get there again!!

Winners - Man United? You gotta be kidding me!

As usual, all the Mancs could think of is how much their luck could have gotten them.
I agree, they're darn lucky.

As usual my friend Big Ben was quick to text me after Chel$ki's draw that the winners of the weekend were ManU.
Still struggling to understand how he came to that conclusion.

Everton away is an extreme task, just ask any Scouser. We were praying that our cross park rivals would help our situation.

ManU definitely took advantage, but the winners of the weekend? Doubt it.

Man City and Arsenal - top the table against some solid opposition. They were definitely the winners on this weekend!

ManU, Liverpool and Chel$ki will still be looking up.

Rafa the Rotater

Rafa, Rafa, Rafa ... as much as the world will complain about you rotating the stars - Valencia, Istanbul and Cardiff are testaments that your policy does work.

They will always speak about the zonal marking system, but Reina's - Barclays Goalkeeper of the Season 2006/7 will be testament that the zonal marking system will work. [Still not sure how P.Cech who let in all those penalties and goals last champions league outing managed to get the UEFA Most Valuable Goalie award!]

Up until now only 2 penalties have constituted the goals conceded. And what a stop by Pepe Reina. I think he's going to drive fear into a load of the Premiership players just like the Portugal goalie does.

Hah Hah.

Walk On Through The Rain.

You've pretty much said it all, Edu...Arsenal are showing great character coming from behind to win games against tricky opposition..that Cesc chap is on another level and Adebayor finally managed to hit the net and not Row Y right in the stands...

Rafa confounded me this wknd with his rotation politics..policy. Pompey have always been a feisty customer at home and we needed to go in there breathing fire..instead Stevie G and Torres were benchwarming...how now? Yeah, there's Porto tonight but I think we need to win these games that are normally headaches for Liverpool and let the C.League take care of itself.

If anything, he should have brought the key players in (and not to take anything away from the rest of the guys..akina Crouch, Pennant & Benayoun), scored, subbed them and closed the game down. At fulltime, we managed to keep a point but lost 2, thanks to Rafa gaffing..I was seething more than a running bull somewhere in Pamplona..

I feel your pain.

We should have closed out Pompey first to give us the boost to go into Estado Do Dragao.

We can't afford to leave those points for Arsenal to take on.

To make it worse, we still played like we wuz tired at Porto anyway. Not sure what Pennant was trying to accomplish flying in for some definite no hope balls ... getting free yellow cards.

Well, he has fought his way to the bench now!
