RB:Rod Fanni

My Favourite XI
My Favourite XI By James Shaw
Sorry Joe, you didnt quite make the team
Goalkeeper – Carlo Cudicini (Tottenham)
As a victim of the Russian revolution I have always been sympathetic of Carlo. Without doing anything wrong, his role at the club switched from key-player to back-up when Petr Cech was signed from Rennes. People forget that the Italian made 210 appearances for the club, won the 2001 Chelsea player of the year, and recorded a clean sheet total bettered only by Chelsea legend Peter ...

Team of World Cup 2010…so far
Minus some obvious additions, such as Messi, Robinho and Rob Green, I have put together a team of players that have impressed me in the World Cup so far. Feel free to disagree.
GK: Diego Benaglio (Switzerland & Wolfsburg)
Very tidy against Spain. Some might have panicked at the sight of Villa, Xavi and Iniesta, but he kept his cool to earn his team a clean sheet.
LB: Fábio Coentrão (Portugal & Benfica)
Against North Korea Mick McCarthy commented that his price had increased by 4 million ... Continue Reading →

11 Premiership players to look out for next season.
GK. Shay Given
Yes. He is better than Cech AND Reina.
DL. Kieran Gibbs
Could beat Clichy to the number one left back spot, looks like the next Ashley Cole but hopefully not as twatish.
DR. Glen Johnson
Has cemented his England place and will be looking to prove that outrageous 18.5million price tag.
DC. Thomas Vermaelen
Cost about the same price as that useless Argentine at Newcastle, but because Wenger signed him and not Dennis Wise i make him 58 times better.
DC. Sebastian Bassong
I’ve put ... Continue Reading →
