There is only one other goal I have seen in the Premier League this season that can hold a candle to Wayne Rooney's goal for Manchester United against Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday and that is Maynor Figueroa's long range effort for Wigan Athletic at Stoke.

What do either of these things mean if you aren't successful on the pitch?

The ex-Man Utd and Russia star Andrei Kanchelskis watched Arsenal get beaten by Tottenham at the weekend and, as usual, doesn't have nice things to say about Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin. A couple of months ago Kanchelskis bad-mouthed Arshavin saying that he had no idea of how to act as captain of Russia, and did not have [.
