What a weekend to round up! Heskey for England, Merseyside derby, Mark Clattenburg... where to begin!

Probably the most entertaining weekend of the soccer season so far including a cracking Mersey side derby, Heskey double, disallowed goals, over exuberant goal celebrations, red cards and Man Utd receiving a welcome hand from Mark Clattenburg! It was about 3 minutes after the final whistle we received this:

Winners

Emile Heskey - 4 goals in 4 games , and none of them have been sloppy finishes! I dont think anyone will begrudge Heskey the chance to show the A-League what he can do! Goal 1 and goal 2 versus Melbourne. We are feeling suitably smug that we predicted he could have a bigger impact the ADP!

Manchester United - Taking all 3 points from Chelsea at Stamford bridge is always an achievement, even if they were on the receiving end of some exceptionally favorable decisions. Watch the highlights of the Chelsea VS Manchester United

Arsenal - not exactly stopping the rot but they got the result they needed. Wenger will be concerned about the teams precision in the final third and struggling to get 3 points against a winless QPR.

David Moyes - After Suarez could have started a riot by swan diving in front of the everton manager, Moyes got the last laugh with Everton coming back from 2 goals down!

Jack Wilshere - England's next next next great thing, was good to see him back on the pitch

The A League - some high profile imports, exciting games, large gates and amazing atmosphere. Is this a new beginning for the A League?

Suarez-An assist and a goal against Everton

Losers

Suarez- theatrical swallow dive in front of the dugout as he celebrated Liverpool's first goal.

Mark Clattenburg - everyone makes mistakes and the referee job is not an easy one, however getting 3 major game deciding decisions wrong is unacceptable! Most managers blame the referee to take the attention away from the team but Di Matteo can justifiably be fuming. Besides that Chelsea are also claiming he used 'inappropriate language' toward the Chelsea players.

Liverpool - a poor poor decision in extra time cost them the 3 points! When things are going bad it's hard to get a break!

Jeronimo Neumann - scored two greats goals (which really should put him in the winners section) but then dived and got Sigmundred carded.

Not a great week for arsenal fans, Heskeys first goal and what do you need to do to get sent off in Womens football

Not a great week to be an Arsenal fan - the shock 1-0 defeat by Norwich then a humbling by Schalke. They entertain QPR at the emirates this weekend the perfect fixture to change things round...... or is it?

Heskey first goal for Newcastle jets


Not a text book penalty


Keeping with Womens football not even a red card


When Linesmen attack

Rumble in an under-13s match in Brazil.

Triple dummy set piece, Tony Pulis, Mata singing the Macarena

Vintage Triple dummy set piece



Lets hope Emile's team mates don't see this(or Emily as Rod Hull calls him)



Chaos in Finland as HJK score against Haka with two balls on the pitch.


Tony Pulis and the curse of diving


"Retrospective decisions are made on a Monday by the FA and they should be looking at this. Give him three games and he will stop falling over."
We 100% agree Tony the punishment for diving should be the same as breaking Aaron Ramsey leg in 2 places! Good work!

Mata sings the Macarena


You have to admire hwo they play on through a tornado

Goal of the week, Fergie time and another goal keeper goal of the season


Definition of "Fergie time"

Man Utd fan - "the last 10 minutes of a match when Man UTD start getting into gear"
The rest of the EPL - the 7 minutes the referee adds on at old trafford when Man Utd are losing.

 Goal keeper goal of the season - 2nd week in a row

A few weeks ago we brought you this goalkeeper goal of the season however scoring a overhead kick in the 91st minute to equalize probably tops it!





Eiður Guðjohnsen still the fox in the box



Good old Salisbury city




Nothing like a 35 yard header



Be Honest you couldn't kick it that far at 21

Del Piero and your weekly roundup of internet goodness

So after having football back in our lives for a week or two the dreaded international break starts.

But there is a silver lining as it means we are a week closer to seeing Del Piero in a Sydney FC jersey! If you are not excited you should be after this:

Premiership Soccer round up - Week 3

Another cracking weekend of premiership football is over and to celebrate the end of Round 3 we have our new weekly feature - The weekend round down!

Goal of the round
Ben Arfa vs Aston Villa - sealed a point for the magpies! Right foot into the bracket!

Winners

Robin Van Persie - 4 goals in 2 starts! Picking up where he left off last year!

Man City - Not playing like champions but still churning out the results! Copy and paste any quote from the past 10 years that this is a 'trait of champions'

West Brom & Swansea - 30 more points and they are safe! But in seriousness they are both attractive to watch and everyone likes to see a fresh face in the top 7!

Steven Fletcher - 2 goals on your debut always helps to calm the nerves!

Arsenal - Before Sunday the papers were already starting the 'worst start since......last season' headlines. It's amazing how one match can change that with Arsenal now looking 'a real contender'.

Abou Diaby - An excellent 90 minutes on Sunday, another 35 of those this year and he could join Hleb, Flamini, Adebayor, RVP and Nasri in the 'I had one good year at Arsenal and then i left' club.

West Ham - Andy Carroll makes an immediate impact for the hammers. Liverpool might be back on the phone to the pony tailed front man sooner than West Ham would like.

Raheem Sterling - With Liverpool's lack of funds, the loaning of Andy Carroll to West Ham and not much competition could make this a break through season for Sterling.
 

Losers

Liverpool - Like shooting fish in a barrel. Going to be a shakey start to the season for Rodgers and the team. After no movement on transfer deadline day Liverpool fans must be regretting giving King Kenny a big pot of gold and poor Rodgers getting a coupon for K-Mart.

Spurs - All managers need time to settle but from the spurs fans I have spoken to they dont see AVB as much of an improvement on the wheeling and dealing Harry Redknapp.

Saints - You have to feel sorry for the saints in their first 4 matches they play last seasons top 3. Against the two teams from Manchester they have led coming into the 70th minute. However they need to start getting points on the board!

Reina - When it Reina(s), it pours (its the best we could steal from twitter)
