Gameweek 5 gives us yet another batch of Fantasy Football excitement as ManU and Chelsea go against each other in English Premier League. Before we get to that, though, let's see what went on in GW 4.
Fantasy Premier League once again showed us, that having player from a team that has a lot of great players is not only a blessing but a curse for players of Premier league fantasy football.

Yes, I have faltered in the blogging TFC world in recent weeks. I was so discouraged by the August home game against San Jose that I stopped thinking and writing TFC for weeks. I had relatives in town, my beloved uncle from Los Angeles. He has been a soccer fan since his childhood back in England. We talk soccer all the time on the phone and get together annually - usually to watch the big games.

If you thought the opening weekend in college soccer was a good one, well buckle up because the Labor Day weekend slate is possibly even better. A couple more high-profile match ups headline this holiday weekend as we once again have a #1 v.

The three-day weekend is over and the scene in college soccer is a little different after a few big games over the weekend rearranged the top of the rankings. For the second weekend in a row big crowds came together at a few college venues to watch some top programs take on one another.

A trip to a usually hostile Reebok Stadium probably isn't the ideal way to return from and international break, one which United headed into with great momentum, having put 8 past an abysmal Arsenal side and 3 past Spurs.

From the side that did so well last season, Bolton missed Elmander, Sturridge, Steinsson, Holden, Muamba and Lee, bringing in City loanee Boyata as an uncomfortable right back, Klasnic/Tuncay/N'Gog as poor replacements for Elmander and Sturridge, both of whom left Bolton without a penny coming in, and Eagles, Reo Coker and Mark Davies filling in for injured or unfit players in the midfield.

AVB has spoken of his decision to select Fernando Torres as a substitute for last Saturday's game at Sunderland and is happy to see players being unhappy if they aren't playing.
He said:

"Any player that is not part of the squad, or not part of the selected players is not happy.

Morning,
Welcome to the blog on this glorious Friday. In the office there is this bloke who feels the need to use this auspicious day to play that terrible song.
It was one of few pieces of music that was universal panned and it honestly could remove paint from walls, if needed.

The University of Connecticut just got to the top of the Fox Soccer/SBI NCAA Top 25, but the Huskies could lose their No. 1 spot this weekend if they aren't careful.

No. 11 St. John's will be looking to knock UConn from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Kuyt Determined to Regain Place

Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has today spoken of both his disappointment at the loss of his regular first team place, and his determination to win it back. Kuyt started 103 of Liverpool's 114 Premier League games in the past 3 seasons (a staggering 90.

Arsene says there are no easy games. We have heard that often enough. But I am not sure the manager is very concerned about this game. Despite his statements to the contrary, I think Wenger uses his key players in big games as much as possible, not always but more often than not, even at the risk of aggravating an injury.

Although many would love a go at managing Tottenham, Harry Redknapp's current predicament is unlikely to arouse much envy at the moment. Tax evasion allegations aside, the gaffer's biggest headache regarding the club is a great deal more positive, yet still troublesome.

The problem in question is that of deciding who, out of all of the fantastic players the club employs, gets the nod in the first team in the Premier League, the Europa League, and possibly even the FA Cup, if Harry decides to give it a real go.

It's not just Michael Bradley and Chievo. The Serie A season is just starting heat-up.
