Mikes team of the week…
This is my CPOS team of the week, Yeah all the headline makers are in there so I’m going to write about some of the others.
Adam: He has been in and out of the Stoke side for a while and does have it in him to get a silly card but he was brilliant, moved the ball well and ran the middle of the park with his wand of a left foot.
Bertrand: He has settled at Southampton and it’s paying off. No loans, no bench, just football week in week out and he is starting to show what a good player he is.
Ospina: Had a good World Cup and arrived in England under the radar and just got on with things. He is now having a good run of games at the right time of the season. Arsenal needed a decent Keeper in pervious seasons and I think now they have got one.
Mata: If you listen to the podcast you will know my feelings towards this great player, if you have not I suggest you go back and listen.
This we the gang are feeling petulant, and it shows. The Premier League is dissected in full with (surprisingly) Villa and ManU heavily discussed. Also, have Chelsea won the League, who’s going to bag the champions league spots, and Poyet has left the building. There’s also a bonus mention of Peter Ndlovu. Which is nice. Do a listen here:

Bolasie – Involved in all the goals and used his pace well. A constant threat. Ramsey- Injected tempo and drive into Arsenals midfield. Kept Possesion well and a goal. Hazzard – Quiet first half but constant threat in the second. Carrick – Kept Utd moving forward with incisive passing.
This week with only a smidgen of Premier League the gang also discuss the FA cup, and have lots of disagreements. Specifically about diving, pitch invasions, & Angel DiMaria. All the quarter finals are discussed as well as Spurs v QPR, and that’s not to mention the usual’s like stat attack and predictions. More football than you can shake a cat at.

Here’s Ollie’s midweek Premier League team of the week.
GK: De Gea (Man Utd) – several crucial saves with lots of different body parts, characteristically solid.
CB: Terry (Chelsea) – England Calls.
CB: Wollscheid (Stoke) – typically strong German, adapting well.
CB: Can (Liverpool) – DEEP deep playmaker.
CDM: Henderson (Liverpool) – Goal Glut, the man of the moment.
CDM: Blind (Man Utd) – Spread well to Young and Valencia and punched holes.
CM: Delph (Aston Villa) – Drove the team forward.
LW: Hazard (Chelsea) – Most fouls on him don’t matter doe, good finish for goal.
RW: Gutierrez (Newcastle) – Obviously.
ST: Agbonlahor (Aston Villa) – Super pumped for the derby , got a goal. Would be nice to see him play to his full potential every week.
Ten men because Alan Hutton got sent off.
The gang are back with more Premier League than you can comfortably stuff in your ear holes. An oasis of irreverent football in a white noise of serious analysis. Plus Ollie once again sings this weeks stat attack which is in no way incredibly weird and uncomfortable. gis’ a listen.

Here’s Mike’s team of the week!
Result of the weekend has to go to Crystal Place so that’s why Dann, Jedinak and Puncheon are in my team, all three of them played a big part in the victory and you can see the team being formed around them.
As an Aston Villa fan not only am I sad at the state of the club but I also hate it when one of our former players has a fantastic game and Mr Young did! United were poor but Young was the bright spark on the day, so we’ll done him through greeted teeth.
As you can see we have a sub this week, one Jonas Gutierrez and it’s good to see him back in the fold and heathy, also brings home the fact that Football is just a game (note Newcastle beat Villa sad face).
This week the gang do maths and stumble upon the equation Toure + Man City – AFCON = Win. Ollie, inexplicably sings the whole of this weeks stat attack, and we all get side tracked about the standard of refereeing. Oh, and we talk about the Premier League.
