My Monthly Awards

Player Of The Month

It had to go to West Ham Goalkeeper Robert Green who has kept 7 clean sheets, incredible when West Ham have Played 8 games.

Manager Of The Month

Definitely Martin O'Neil of Villa who he has kept in the top 4 all month.

Blooper Player Of The Month

Senderos, with his own goals, clumsy tackles and bald head. Is he Arsenal's new Pascal Cygan?
