Zlat Attack!!!

Okay let's not beat around the bush, Zlatan Ibrahimović's 'worldy' goal for Sweden in his four goal demolition of England has got the footballing world spinning on its axis. In what could have been a routine mundane international friendly match, the game marked another significant occasion with the England captain Steven Gerrard reaching a milestone and earning his 100th cap for the national side. 

With Sweden christening their brand spanking new national stadium with a 4-2 victory, and England taking heart with a positive team performance for large spells of the contest, particularly from those in the starting lineup making their debuts, we as always discuss.  

New Blue

After a two week break various international qualifiers and friendlies, the FA Premier League is back. Riding high at the top of the table is Roberto Di Matteo and his new look Chelsea team which to some degree have slipped under the radar in possible title winners come next May. Off the field news seems never to far away at Stamford Bridge, and in recent weeks such situations have not diminished. However, with an impressive 4-2 over the weekend against Spurs, a current four point lead against the more fancied challengers of Manchester City and Manchester United in the league, and the Blues going well in the Champions League, how far can Roberto's revolution go come the end of the season. We as always discuss.
