Don't look now but 'Arry Redknapp and QPR are starting to win games and make up ground on the 19 teams ahead of them in the table.
You often see a nippy individual stuck up front to utilise the space behind the sluggish defenders, and these lot did exactly that to earn their wages, arguably, throughout their career.
Real Madrid weren’t the only team due to play in the CL this week who tasted victory over the weekend. On Saturday, their opponents, Manchester United, cruised to a 4-0 victory over Norwich thanks to a hat-trick from Japan international Shinji Kagawa and a last minute goal from Wayne Rooney.
Tony Pulis has recently gone on record saying that Michael Owen will definitely be staying at the Britannia Stadium until the end of this year when his contract expires.

Well, I think it may be dying but not quite dead yet and the defenders below are who I think are the best left in the Premier League.

Last season was the first time in Stoke’s premiership life where they failed to improve on the previous years efforts, a result which led to many starting to raise questions over whether this was the beginning of a slide for the Potters.
Having recently signed a scorer of 90 Premier League goals, Accrington Stanley have acquired a man with a wealth of top level experience to help them in England’s fourth division.
