When it comes down to comparing the great players in the NBA today, Kobe Bryant is someone that
i've always kept as the gold standard because of his ability to compete, desire to win, and proven
track record.
Boston Celtics great Larry Bird saw the Los Angeles Lakers as the enemy during his playing days,
but sees Bryant as the one current player he'd like on his side if he were playing today.

held in July Puma has informed Chesterfield FC that two of their very talented young

Being slightly fearful of numbers, I'm not sure how the old recipe for success of 'win at home
and draw away' stands up in modern times, now we have this new-fangled three points for a win, but
right now it will do for me. As against Man City, against the Pool we stood up to the considerable
pressure exerted by our rivals near the top of the league, emerging with great credit and in this
case a point too.
The best player for Newcastle on Sunday afternoon against Aston Villa was Danny Guthrie. Danny
Guthrie proving he' s very good player for Newcastle Danny got 47% of the vote for Man of the
Match, followed by 17% for Tim Krul and 11% for debut boy and scorer of that wonder goal Papiss
Cisse - and then James Perch is on [.
What. A. Game! If there ever was a marque game for the Premier League it was this one. Great goals,
drama, penalties, a wonderful comeback, and horrible refereeing. A lot of people are of the opinion
that Howard Webb was Uniteds best player of the day, but the "best referee in the world" had an

Let us know who you think Newcastle's best player was against Aston Villa today.
Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has revealed who he thinks the best player in the
world is and it's not a former United great. While many Manchester United fans still name Cristiano
Ronaldo as the best and most complete player in the world, Charlton has hailed the qualities of
Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Fine margins
February and all we've collected from 2012 is a solitary point in the league. Unfortunately for
a club the size of Arsenal and the ambitions that we harbour, that is not good enough. 7th is where
we are right now in terms of the league standings and hopes of staying with the top pack and
clinching that vital Champions League position is not mathematically out of grab.
Let us know who you think our best player was at Ewood Park tonight where Newcastle came away
2-0 winners.

Le Toux talks
It just won't stop.
As suggested by the 130 readers' comments posted on PSP in less then 24 hours since the Le Toux
transfer news broke, if the sadness felt by Union fans at the news of Sebastien Le Toux's transfer
to Vancouver wasn't enough, subsequent comments from Peter Nowak and Le Toux will, for many, see
that sadness turn to anger.

Formed by the Reverend Thomas Ogden as Christ Church FC in 1874, the club changed it's name to

Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs is getting closer and closer to being ready to return to
action. After breaking his hand on January 2nd against the Minnesota Timberwolves, doctors told
Ginobili that he'd need about six weeks to recover.
However, Ginobili appears to be a bit ahead of schedule.
It has been a busy and confusing few days for Union fans. Kerith Gabriel has an updated story on
the Faryd Mondragon, Seba Le Toux and Roger Torres. So with the latest information, here is a quick
rundown of where we are at:
Sebastien Le Toux rumors (Rumors = no confirmed sources)
- The Union's all-time leader in goals, assists, minutes played, and hilarious goal dances will
not be moving to England's Bolton Wanderers.
Outside of Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski has been the best player this year on the New England
Patriots. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Gronkowski is unlikely to be 100% during the Super Bowl
due to a high ankle sprain. In fact, it's uncertain at this point whether he'll even play.
Over the weekend, Gronkowski was seen wearing a walking boot.
It's been 7 days since the beginning of the Dragon Year – and here we are 7 points ahead of Barca
in the league table. Our 3-1 over Zaragoza and Barca's 0-0 (their first scoreless game in 15
matches) made sure of that. In a league where the margins of error between a league title or a
bridesmaid finish is a hairline, 7 points is gold – it gives us that all-important precious
margin for error: to account for that somewhat inevitable match that will see us drop points
against a Levante, Sporting or.
Video: FA Cup: Everton/Fulham
And so it was. In the English matchup of American titans Everton bested Fulhman 2-1, led by the
efforts of a Man of the Match-worthy Landon Donovan, who assisted on both goals for his side. Clint
Dempsey may have found success where Donovan never could, but in this match, at least, Donovan
hushed his frequent teammate.

Newcastle went down 1-0 in the 4th round of the FA Cup.

Thank God, It's over, that definitely was the reaction of every Barca fan once they heard the
final whistle. I don't remember that in recent history we coming out with such a reaction towards
the end of any match. That was the way we performed in this match, may be that's how they
performed.

George John has yet to make his debut with West Ham United, but he soon could after putting
together a strong showing in his first match since joining the club.
John, on loan from FC Dallas until the beginning of March, starred in his first game for West
Ham's developmental squad on Tuesday, putting together a strong defensive outing while scoring a
goal in the Hammers' 1-1 draw with Gillingham.

Having found himself in the middle of the Andrei Arshavin/Arsene Wenger booing controversy at
the Emirates at the the weekend, teenage winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has apparently now played
himself into Fabio Capello's plans for the Euro 2012 finals.
Henrique: still off to QPR?
São Paulo director, João Paulo de Jesus Lopes, says that the door has not been shut on forward
Henrique's transfer to QPR. The Morumbi club say that contrary to earlier reports, Henrique has not
been denied a UK work visa. "The truth is the visa wasn't turned down.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Remember on Sunday afternoon? Against Manchester United? When Robin van Persie mouthed the words
'oh no' as Arsenal's most enterprising attacking threat was substituted off for Andrey Arshavin?
Apparently that was a thing.
There are many critics who love bickering about the downward spiral of Italian
football but at least they have the equivalent of a glamorous Oscar
night! Finally, Zlatan Ibrahimovic silenced his entire phone-book of haters last
night and won the title of Serie A's 'Best Player in 2011′ while Edison Cavani's
Udinese were announced 'Best Club'.
Swedish international and AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been named Serie's A's best
player for 2011. This comes as no surprise bearing the season he had with the Rossoneri.
The annual award ceremony which was held in Milan, is voted for by Serie A players and
recognises the best player, best coach, best club and the best referee.

It was the 74th minute when Arsene Wenger went from mere arrogance to sheer incompetence.
Replacing Alex Oxlade Chamberlain with Andrey Arshavin. The Ox had been Arsenal's best player on
the pitch providing the side with desperately needed speed, ambition, and some quality skills.
Arsenal fans who argue that Arsene Wenger should not be sacked can only come up with one reason
"He's our most successful manager ever". Others might also point to his unearthing of talents like
Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira. The theme here? It's all stuff from an increasingly long time
ago.
Everton Boss David Moyes has praised the maturity of Ireland U21 International Shane Duffy after
his home Premier League debut at Goodison Park yesterday against Blackburn.
Speaking after the 1-1 draw Moyes said "Shane Duffy had a terrific game. He was arguably our best
player today and he's a young boy; we just needed a lot more in every department.
This game was so utterly predictable. The unpredictable part of it was that young
Oxlade-Chamberlain started and was arguably our best player, also that Nico Yennaris came on at
half time for the hapless Djourou, this also swung the game in our direction. These two good
managerial decisions were then more than negated when the Ox was take off and replaced by our lazy
fat Russian.
That's how we all feel mate...If i walked into a club, thinking
and acting like i was better than everybody else, i'd most probably, within an hour and a half or
so, get battered. Which is exactly what happened to Liverpool on Saturday. They walked into
Bolton's club, acting like they were better than them, like the three points were theirs before
they'd kicked a ball and then, they were battered.
For today's introduction we are going back into the mists of time, when men were men and not
floppy overcooked strings of spaghetti like Busquets, Nani and Pepe.
England were World Champions and Man Utd had recently won the European Cup. For
the younger reader who has grown up in the Sky era, there can be no understanding of the excitement
and national pride that both events stirred.
Apparently, the best player in the world debate is fat from over judging from the recent
comments made by Argentine football legend Diego Maradona. The Al Wasl coach claims that old age is
starting to affect Pele's Judgement.
Now, it is starting to get amusing watching these fromer greats tearing into each other verbally
concerning the best player in the world so to end this debate once and for all (however impossible
that may be), we are asking for your opinion.

So is this what FSG feared when appointing Dalglish? A manager that should be, hopefully, exempt
from criticism, but there has been so much to criticize in tactics, personnel, and transfer
dealings lately.
