"What is today but yesterday's tomorrow." Very profound is it from some Athenian aristocrat may be it came from the great halls of Thebes or could it come from the tales of the Orient and no I don't mean Leyton. Inside football joke. No it came from the most unlikely of places. Nickelodeon and their marquee cartoon Spongebob. The words echoed from the frame of my favourite character Mr.Krabbs. What I guess he is getting at is that time is really irrelevant I can go a step further and say that time is only relevant when it is in use. Well I am on the time power trip because I am a tad late on my updates which I can't apologize enough for but better late than never and I will have to side with that dumb cliche this time.The football is flying and I am loving it she is gathering steam and soon we all shall be steamrolled. Their have been some guys really making the headlines with their style of play and that all important effort. This is where I come in, team of the week looks at those high rollers lets make a move.Match Day 3
Formation: Well we are going this week with my favourite formation. I use it all the time on FIFA (the video game). It is the 4-1-2-1-2 aslo known as the diamond. Let put these fools in their place shall we.
The Team Of The Week
Goalkeeper- Thomas Sorenson
Left Back- Patrice Evra
Center Back- Franck Queudrue
Center Back- William Gallas
Right Back- Glen Johnson
Central Defensive Midfielder- Abou Diaby
Left Midfielder- Luis Nani
Right Midfielder- Aaron Lennon
Central Attacking Midfielder- Kamel Ghilas
Striker- Wayne Rooney (captain)
Striker- Jermaine Defoe
Why?
Thomas Sorensen- A very unheralded figure for years now. The Dane certainly played his part in their 0-0 draw with Birmingham City. Brilliant saves and the lack of any tremendous goalkeeping this week sees him take the spot.
Patrice Evra- One of the great fullbacks in the game it was only a matter of time before the Frenchman infiltrated this team. Excellent mix of offensive and defensive play against Wigan over the weekend.
Franck Queudrue- Continuing with the French theme sees Franck make the team at the coveted center back role. Franck must be said is not a steady competitor but he did enough this week to make this role his. Consistency Franck, consistency.
William Gallas- Willaim Gallas so far this season has more goals this season than his Arsenal team mate Nicklaus Bendtner who by the way is a striker. The lad is in a goal scoring run maybe he does deserve the No. 10 on his back.
Glen Johnson- Second week in a row he has made the team and for a second time he has battled and his teammates have failed him. His side loss again but yet a again Johnson was the sole beacon of light.
Abou Diaby- Cracking goals over the weekend, silky play overall. Nuff said.
Luis Nani- You know what this young man is starting to convert me to Nanism. He is starting to prove me wrong. He was absolutely amazing, who needs Ronaldo when we have Nanito.
Aaron Lennon- The young Englishman is part of a red hot side at the moment and in this premature season has found the goal on more than one occasion. He's quicker than Hermes, you should probably google that.
Kamel Ghilas- He was born in France but plays for Algeria. Don't know much about him but for one he is exciting. Doesn't hit the target alot but has nice link up play. Hull has a real gem there.
Wayne Rooney- Look I know people say that he does not score as much goals as he should but give the guy a chance. Although I am anti- Man U I know he is great and the way he inspired his team to victory recently earns him the armband on this team. Wayne is the quintessential Englishman. Loyal and a fighter.
Jermaine Defoe- The second Spur in the line up and he deserves to be. Jermaine is playing his way into the England starting line up, the league top goalscorer, he is a problem.
Five Frenchman, four Englishman a Cape Verdean disguised as a Portuguese, I see you Nani and a Dane. The cosmopolitan that is the EPL. Since we have so many men from Gaul, lets all watch them in action. Arsenal might as well be France.
GUN HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
