Goal Keeper:I was going to go for Hart but in fact I am going to go for Vorn from Swansea. Hart has established himself as a top keeper over the last few seasons and it was nice to see somebody knew impress everybody so quickly, especially with amazing penalty saves!Defenders:Baines, Kompany, Coloccini, Kyle Walker. All of these have impressed over the whole season. Midfielders:Valencia, Dempsey, Yaya Toure, Silva. The only real person here that could cause debate is the inclusion of Valencia. I think ...

What defines an era...?What defines an era?What defines a player of a generation?This season we have witnessed the brilliancy of Ronaldo VS Messi, a fantastic Manchester race for the Premier League title and so many different styles of football (Swansea players having a higher pass completion ration than Barcelona players!)It had me thinking, whose generation is this? After speaking to several 16 year olds about past teams of recent greatness, AC Milan, Chelsea, Valencia, Lyon and Greece, I asked them if they knew of the great legend of Italian defending, total Dutch football, the glory days of Liverpool and the exciting full backs of Brazil (Cafu and Roberto Carlos).

We open with a thought that should encourage all to play sports!! Diabetes and High Blood Pressure, now that the casual average Asian illness has been covered and everybody has thought for that split second to become healthy, we can swiftly move on!
