A TRUE TALENT:CESC FABREGAS

Although for the past eight years Arsenal's star has been Thierry Henry, but after he has left for Barcelona they still have a talented star in Spaniard Cesc Fabregas. He has propelled Arsenal to title fighters in the Premiership by putting on some incredible displays and scoring amazing goals. Bought from Barcelona as a teenager he was always overlooked by Arsenal fans as a young player because of the huge talent of Thierry Henry but now he is the club's most talented player and is hugely popular. With a strong left foot, a knack for dribbling and a great passing range he is a perfect striker. And he is still quite young.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER

Although they were defeated in the final, the hugely talented Brazilian womens team were by far the best team in the 2007 Women's World Cup. In an interview before the tournament an
English player quoted "the United States, China and Germany are favorites but anything can happen". But nobody thought of Brazil. They beat the Chinese calmly in a stunning 4:0 display. Brazil then demolished Denmark and New Zealand who where dealt with 5:0. They then overcame a talented Australian team to come face to face with favorites and tournament giants the United States. The United States underestimated the powerful Brazilians. They were crushed 4:0. In that game the United States scored an own goal early on. For the rest of the game Brazilian star Marta took the stage scoring twice. Then as overwhelming favorites in the final they lost crushingly to Germany's aging team. But although they didn't win the Brazilians had played hugely entertaining soccer and played extremely well.

AC MILAN COLLAPSE!

After winning the Champions League last year, few expected that soon afterward the Italian league giants would be struggling to get a win. AC Milan are a team of global superstars like Brazilian midfielder Kaka who ended the Champions League as top scorer. They also have one of the best defenders of all time, captain Paolo Maldini.
Struggling in ninth place in the Italian league with terrible home games such as a recent 0:0 draw with Torino. Although they crushed Sampodria 5:0 away they have lost at home to Italian push overs Palermo. A humiliating 1:0 loss to Italian rivals Roma in Milan has taken things from bad to worse. If the Italian team hope to participate in next season's Champions League they need to play better and win a few games.

AMAZING PREMIERSHIP GAMES!

Manchester United finally lead the table after crushing lowly Middelsbro 4:1 in old Trafford after a spectacular display of attacking soccer. Now ahead of Arsenal they might be able to retain their trophy. Carlos Tevez scored twice, Nani scored an amazing goal and Rooney scored. But there victory is nothing compared to Chelsea's 6:0 crushing of a tough looking Manchester City. Didier Drogba scored twice and Andiry Shevchenko scored his first goal this season which sends them to fourth in the league. Arsenal's fate is in Liverpool's hands for the moment who will play them tommorow at Anfield.

UNITED CRUSH ASTON VILLA!

Today in Villa Park a tough looking encounter with Aston Villa was turned into a show of Manchester United skill. Wayne Rooney made a large spectacle as did Ryan Giggs who scored a goal. After going behind on twelve minutes United Dominated and when Wayne Rooney scored superbly most thought of a draw, but Rooney scored again to lead the Red Devils to victory by halftime. Then in the second half they dominated completely Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs scored to make it 4:1. Even though Aston Villa defended admirably Manchester United, still unbeaten fully deserve this victory. They draw ever nearer to beating Arsenal and retaining the premiership.

CHELSEA IN TURMOIL!

Chelsea are struggling in the Premiership. In a lowly seventh place finish, they are threatened by the loss of the talented Ivorian striker Didier Drogba and the loss of coach Jose Mourinho hasn't helped matters. A terrible draw with Fulham in which Didier Drogba received a red card, a humiliating loss to Manchester United where there strike force was nonexistent and a draw with Blackburn have been very discouraging for a team of global talent. The loss of Dutch play maker Robben over the summer could have effected things but his replacement, tricky French winger Florent Malouda is truly just as talented. Most who hoped they would win the Premiership have now switched there faiths to Arsenal who are first. There mysterious downfall is strange for such a talented team.
