Even this early on into the current EPL season viewers have witnessed nearly every team have at
least one or two surprise if not shock results. Often these so called ‘blips' have been
accompanied by a dip in form, or at the very least results that have meant the table from top to
bottom is as intriguing and open as perhaps it has ever been before.

Elizabeth Lambert is a college football defender playing for New Mexico in the Women's Mountain
West Conference college tournament. In the game against Bringham Young University (BYU), things got

Eduardo's back heel onto Arshavin, who runs and takes the ball and finds the pass to Diaby, who
sets himself up and scores.
That my friends was the goal of the night and the fourth for Arsenal against AZ Alkmaar. The
football recently played by Arsenal is nothing short of phenomenal, offensively of course.

This week saw the news that Chelsea have joined Newcastle United in openly stating that they
are considering selling the naming rights to one of England's  most established stadiums.
Opening myself to accusations of being overdramatic I believe that if today's announcement
to tinker with the name of Stamford Bridge for commercial rights goes ahead it will be one of the
biggest events in the clubs history.

Sergio Aguero inherited the mantle of star striker at Atletico Madrid from Fernando Torres and
on Tuesday night he showed exactly why, scoring two excellent goals in a 2-2 draw against Chelsea
in the Champions League.
Aguero has been the subject of intense transfer speculation in the last 18 months, and there
were claims by Atletico Madrid this summer that they rejected a £42m bid for the Argentina
international.

The news that Gael Clichy is out for up to two months is unfortunate and may harm Arsenal's
trophy ambitions. When he first started his career at Arsenal, he was very injury prone, with
continuous operations on his broken metatarsals. He always seems to get injured at an awkward time

Champions League View: Bayern Munich and Liverpool FC could get 10 points and still not
qualify.
An entertaining set of Champions League games threw up some unexpected results, great games and
the odd ninja (but not a very effective one). Almost all of the big names have a chance to reach

difficult for themselves.
