Malouda adds the 2nd...game over...
was a very good move...especially the pass by Lampard...
Chelsea do look good without being very entertaining...& even though I want United to win the Final...my gut says Chelsea 
Malouda played well...I somehow like him better on the left than kalou...
A great perice of news[not for arsenal fans]
ESPNsoccernet - England - AC Milan confirm capture of Arsenal's Flamini
Lets see what arsene does now...he HAS to buy a midfeilder now..
moreover flamini was the only one he was trying to keep in the squad...rest are a bit more settled I think...so all he has to do now is bring new faces in....lets see...

Chelsea are on a roll 
Hope Chelsea go on to CL and win!
The title seems doubtful - hope it goes on goal difference
and what is with the chelsea players having strifes? ( read carvalho and terry).
And, a bit of personal good news - got meself a JT tee from UK! Best news I had all week!
Cheers!
p.s: flamini leaves for ac milan!
p.p.s: roy keane ( not shankar ) is apparently furious for the 22 games sunderland lost this season! talk about high standards!

Carvalho got his back injured while defending and wanted to get off the field the very instant. Terry was requesting him to stay on the field till the substitution could be made.
Carvalho walked off anyway.

Couldn't update my team, which is the reason for this amazingly dismal showing.
BTW, there are 2 more players. You've put up the top 10. Do post it. It's not opening on my end. 
Cheers!!

Announcing the football club awards...
As the season is coming to a close..I think we can have football club awards..
All those interested in the idea, press the thanks button, else we'll scrap it in a few days
I am writing the categories below. Any removals/additions to the categories can be made by you guys. 5 people agreeing to the same suggestion will result in inclusion/removal of that category
Categories will stand finalized by this sunday..ie 11th
Now , voting will be on these lines :
1) Only 1 vote per category.Extra votes will result in cancellation of all the votes for the category
2) Only 1 post for all the votes, that one post will count at the end. so we can edit the post till the final day
3) The final day of voting is 22nd May, the day after UCL ends
4)No reasons for the votes will be given in the main post, instead all reasons & discussions will be done in other posts.(discussions are the important part, we should have lots )
5) Final result will be done by simple counting
6) I'll be forced to make a change to a rule if 5 people ask me to do so
7) We' ll also have the best voter award for the one who has the maximum hits to the final awards in his nominations.He has to give an acceptance speech for his Football acumen award
8]Heated discussions are encouraged while discussing the nominations
(but name calling is not)
SRK[our very own mod] carries the power of 5 in making me change something above
All changes in rules/categories will be reflected in this post
General Awards(across all leagues)
Player of the season:
Team of the Season:
Underdogs of the Season:
Coach of the season:
Goal of the Season:
Save of the Season:
Worst(or most hyped) Player of the season:
Youngster of the Season(Player who had his debut season):
Oldie of the Season(player with 5+ years in the same team):
Revelation(unexpected)Player of the season:
English Primier League
Best Goalkeeper:
Best Defender:
Best Midfeilder:
Best Striker:
Best Buy:
Worst Buy:
La Liga
Best Goalkeeper:
Best Defender:
Best Midfeilder:
Best Striker:
Best Buy:
Worst Buy:
Serie A
Best Goalkeeper:

Best Midfeilder:

Worst Buy:
I am taking only 3 leagues as they are the most followed, else we'll have too few votes.
Hope we have a lot of fun discussing the season that has passed..
Cheers...

I'd like to ask if we can add best upcoming player or player with the greatest potential for each of the subdivisions...

7) We' ll also have the best voter award for the one who has the maximum hits to the final awards in his nominations.He has to give an acceptance speech for his Football acumen award
|
Also i think this can be checked individually for each league coz i don't stand a rats chance if other leagues are involved too... 
I was thinking about how people seem to read the holy books a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me . .
they're cramming for their final exam...

1)1 vote means that in front of (eg) player of the season...one can only write kaka...& not kaka,messi,ronaldo...(people do this sometimes)
2)only one post means since we wont be able to think of all the votes in 1 go..we can 1st vote for those categories we are sure about...then edit the post to vote for the other categories too...& not make multiple posts..
As for your other two suggestions, if 4 more people agree to it, we'll have them incorporated...(i personally think having the voter award across all leagues will show the breadth of footballing knowlege the winner has )
cheers...
PS : the srk rule was just in place to have the mod's approval, nothing too serious...im sure he wont misuse it
