Martín in Mendoza Province, Argentina. They currently play in Zone C of the Torneo Argentino B,

'Tis the season to lay down the law, so big boys UEFA and bigger boys Belgian FA have laid down
some serious justice in the wake of some serious crimes. Have you heard about the Eduardo dive? No?

So the big boys have joined the rest of England's many, and are now starting their quest for the

winners a passport to [.
Top 5 teams in the English Premier League Table: Chelsea, ManU, Liverpool, Man City, Aston Villa.
Sounds familiar right? It seems the few surprises that we got in the start of the season, were just
that, surprises.
This weeks most impressing win was took by Arsenal, after 2 weaker games, team resumed to their
level and took 4-0 over Wigan.
Four games into the season, and some pundits are already musing that Liverpool's dreams of bagging
a maiden Premier League crown are all but shattered.
Rafael Benitez's men have kicked off the 2009-10 campaign in see-sawing fashion, with two losses
(against Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa) and two wins (over Stoke City and Bolton Wanderers).
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored eight goals in six games for Madrid but his third coach in 6 months
didn't want to have him training with the big boys. As the new AC Milan striker, he wants his
starting position in Oranje back. "I've got to show it again." He is stoic and
Much has been made of the demise of Leeds United AFC. We are all familiar with the tale of gross
overspending, Ridsdale's goldfish, and a descent into the third tier of English football. Football
supporters have little sympathy for a club that reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League
in 2001 and are now playing in League One due to its own negligence.
Europeam heavyweights and 1998 World Cup champions France have a battle on their hands if they
want to qualify for the tournament in South Africa next summer. They drew with Group Seven
leaders Serbia on Wednesday night leaving them four points off the Serbians with just two games
left. It now seems almost certain they will have to face a play-off tie to qualify for the
tournament but Barcelona striker thierry Henry is confident his national side have what it takes to
get them to South Africa in 2010.
With yet another exciting Premier League weekend in the books it's time to review this weekend's
winners and losers.
Winners Robbie Keane
Robbie Keane emerges from this weekend as the biggest winner. The Tottenham striker has had a
relatively quiet start to the season, oftentimes playing second fiddle to the red hot Jermain
Defoe.
Another week of Premiership action is now in the books, and Thursday means one thing: it's time
for the Thursday Throwdown from A to Z. Here we go...
A is for Anelka. Chelsea fans should be counting their lucky stars that both

There were many points proven in this weekend's Manchester derby. Man Utd proved they really do
never give up, City proved that they can play amongst the big boys even when not deserving it, and
Mark Hughes proved that without realising he is already becoming a manager in the ilk of his
opposite number on sunday.
By that I mean POINTS!!
Another away game for us then, but thankfully not too far for the team to travel tomorrow so no
excuse for fatigue or stiff muscles after getting off a ten minute coach ride
Three points tomorrow and we are right back up with the big boys, and that is exactly what we
need to be tomorrow evening – Big Boys, with a big performance.
Seven goals, seven minutes of added time, seven players from the Big Four in the team of the
week. Yes, the big boys claimed back their rightful place at the top of the Premier League table
last week, the pretenders of Manchester City & Tottenham slotted firmly into their place. Wins for
Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool & Arsenal meant it was a good week for the star names, as
well as a few lesser ones too.
I'm not talking about Cristiano Ronaldo. Not talking about Kaka. Not Benzema and not about
Raul Albiol and Xabi Alonso.
I'm talking about Arsene Wenger. Scratch that, I'm actually talking about Manuel

than any other.
