Here is this week's extract from Steffan Chirazi's "Jumpers for Goalposts" blog:-
BEST PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Jimmy Bullard, Ryan Giggs, Danny Murphy
All three should take a bow. Bullard has been sensational since returning from such a horrible injury, and his drive, enthusiasm and sheer character continued to shine during Fulham’s great escape. Giggs speaks for himself. A legend. A tireless worker who despite winning virtually every honor remains insatiably diligent and hungry. Plus he scores vital goals. As for Danny Murphy, well, it’s all been a bit of a pig’s ear for him since being forced out of his beloved Liverpool, but on Sunday, his small, boney balding head provided salvation for Fulham and vindication for a talent who had been wayward for too long.
WORST PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Manchester City
Look, their performance was obviously tainted by the recent actions of their buffoon of an owner, but it cannot be allowed to excuse them from a horrific dereliction of duty on the pitch. Professional it wasn’t. Not even schoolboys get it that badly wrong.
