Arsenal may be strong favourites to win tonight in Belgrade but the Emirates side should be wary of Partizan’s Brazilian-born striker Cleo. The 25-year-old is a particular talent for smashing home bicycle kicks Mark Hughes style. With Lukasz Fabianski back in goal tonight for the Gunners, can you see one of these strikes hitting the back of the Arsenal net? After all, Cleo has scored 8 goals in Europe already this season!
Tired of referees being too whistle happy and not playing advantage? Well spare a thought for Belgian defender Ken Leemans who scored smashed home a 35-yard wonder strike for Dutch club VVV in their Dutch top division match with De Graafschap at the weekend only to have the Referee blow up for an earlier foul. Fortunately, the relegation battling home side ended a 4-match losing streak with a 1-0 victory. Perhaps next time Holland’s Refereeing answer to Stuart Attwell will wait a moment before blowing up!
Every day we will ask a famous footballer a very very silly question and wait to see if they respond. This is in part to satisfy our rather dubious sense of humour as well as to see if today’s footballers are up for playing along. Today’s victim/contestant if Darren Huckerby. Yesterday’s tweet to Leon Knight was in fact answered, which is a first. Well done Leon who replied with a simple LOL.
Jermaine Jenas is something of a ‘marmite’ player to Tottenham fans, they either love him or hate him and in truth the midfielder is more vilified by the Spurs faithful than praised. However, recent performances for the club suggest he may still have a future at White Hart Lane despite constant links away.
