Can Aaron Ramsey Maintain His Blistering Start To The Season?

While Aaron Ramsey had had a terrific pre-season to add to his incredible closing stages of last seasons, even the most optimistic Arsenal fan could not have predicted at the beginning of the season the immense scoring form that he would be in.

Top 5: Premier League's Most Impressive Players - Includes Manchester United Double

Yesterday, out of sheer fun and boredom, I sat down and tried to come up with a list of the top five players in the English Premier League. I found out that due to the immense quality of players currently plying their trade in the English League, that it is VERY hard to be able to muster such a list without any hitches in the decision making process along the way. Below is my results (which I am sure will garner a few moans and groans, if not swears):

Southampton Have Proved That They’re The Real Deal

Avid Premier League watchers might have dismissed Southampton’s top-four surge as a merely good form, especially having seen recent similar surges fade away as the season progressed - examples of this may include Newcastle and to some extent Hull City before them. However, this season, it seems as if Southampton are here to stay.

Opinion: Why Reus Is The Perfect Man For Arsenal

For a long while now, it has been said that Arsenal need a world-class centre-forward who can either replace Olivier Giroud, or in some instances dovetail with him. Certainly, Arséne Wenger’s attempt to loan Chelsea’s Demba Ba on deadline day as well as his continuous pursuits of both Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez seemed to confirm that he had the same thoughts. So, who would be the perfect player for this role? Robert Lewandowski? Jackson Martinez? Luis Suarez? Not quite, for me.

Egypt Fail To Accomplish The Impossible

Going into the second leg of the Final World Cup Qualifying Round against Ghana, the Egyptians knew that it would need a triple miracle if they were to stand any hope of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1990, having been comprehensively beaten 6-1 in the first leg. However, as is usual with these brilliant people, many of them were still optimistic, they still believed!

Why The Upcoming Period Could Make Or Break Arsenal’s Season

Arséne Wenger’s Arsenal side has surpassed all of their expectations this season, so far. The Gunners entered the season with pundits and rival fans all claiming that they would be a failure, and that their lack of significant signings would surely lead to them falling out of the top four in favour of their arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Indeed, the Gunners’ shock opening day 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa seemed to confirm that it would be a season of doom for Arsenal, but lo and behold, it would turn out to be a whole different story.

Player Report: Is Arsenal Target Juan Cuadrado All He's Cracked Up To Be?

I have to admit that having seen overly-hyped players from leagues other than the Barclays Premier League arrive and either flop miserably, or fail to show their previous form such as Gervinho, Marko Marin, and more recently Jozy Altidore, I currently tend to be a bit more skeptical when it comes to believing and hyping players who I haven’t seen enough of to judge well. However, after seeing some bits and pieces of the mercurial Juan Cuadrado, as well as some games he played in, I have come to believe that this is a player who has all the necessary qualities to be a huge success in the Premier League.
