Places Three to Six in the Championship have had an amorphous look all season and while the
occupants of the automatic spots have an ominous aspect, few would bet on the four currently
browsing the magazines in the promotion foyer to be the exact same four come May. We said this
about Burnley last year of course, but what are the chances of the current quartet hanging on to
those lofty perches?

Okay, I know, 3 posts in one day is a bit excessive. But one was part of a planned thing, the
other was new injury news, and there are several things here that I thought you find
interesting.
First, and most importantly, Kieran Gibbs did not break his foot, only suffered brusing, and is

Among the performers who have lit up this burgeoning Championship campaign are some familiar names.
Michael Chopra has so far justified every last dime of his weighty fee, Kevin Nolan has buckled
down and rehabilitated his reputation as an all purpose midfielder-cum-forward, and Adam Johnson's

EL PRIMER GOL DE ARQUERO EN EL FÚTBOL ARGENTINO
Pibona Alterio, arquero de Chacarita y tío de Héctor "vale la pena" Alterio, fue el primer
arquero en convertir un gol en el fútbol argentino: lo hizo de penal a Tigre (1931), en un partido
que terminó 3-3. No fue muy difícil. El arquero de Tigre, Savarro, se quedó parado junto al
poste en señal de protesta por el cobro del árbitro.

So, there, Cummins is gone. Duane Rollins thinks his leaving won't account for much, following his
convincing argument the other day for Trader Mo's dismissal as sporting director.
Fine Cummins out, so can we stop the ex-lower level Luton/Newcastle parade now? These are the last
of clubs in a long line of Graham Taylor-Watford-Wimbledon eighties style Charles Reep football,
and follows a "we need this part to fit in this cog" line of thinking to work properly—you have
to have two centerbacks and they both have to be big, you need a poacher near goal with a runner in
behind him, and you need a classic lined up midfield to grease that 4-4-2.

Marlon King was once infamously described as being a £60m footballer by Watford, what with him
being their key to Premiership involvement. Turns out he was neither the key nor was he worth that

According to Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney, Watford and United States National Team defender Jay
DeMerit will need surgery to repair his injured left eye. DeMerit was returning to fitness from a

While he was honored as Estonia's best player in the past half a century by the nation's
football association, Mart Poom could not earn even remotely the same kind of respect on club
level. Despite boasting a variety of Eastern European and English clubs on his resume during his

inactive spell as a back-up keeper at Arsenal F.

I have a secret to admit - I love the attitude of seventeen year olds. Cocky? Arrogant? I've
always believed that confidence should exceed talent by a simple 2:1 ratio. When the sun-earth-moon
align, the solar eclipse can blind one with power and beauty. However, in my opinion, there is
nothing uglier than when vision-reach-grasp align.
