Hero of the Week: 

There were many heroes this week with their being so many big performances by the likes of Palace, Liverpool, and Swansea. It's hard to chose one so I'll pick two and they are Sterling and Speroni. Sterling didn't score as Liverpool crushed Spurs 4-0 but was instrumental in everything Liverpool produced in a game that could be crucial come the end of the season. This victory put Liverpool two points clear at the top of the table for the first time since Christmas and they may well have hit form at just the right time. Who would have thought that Liverpool could be Premier League Champions so soon under Rodgers? They've got a group of fantastic attacking players and Sterling is a perfect example of a player who is still learning his trade. The form he's in should have him not only getting in the England squad for the World Cup but starting on the right wing. Take a look at his performance below!

Speroni was also a hero for Palace as they pulled off their biggest win of the season against title challengers Chelsea. Palace managed to scrape a 1-0 win against an under-par Chelsea team and could have won by more. However it was Speroni who made sure the Blues didn't get an equalizer with some fantastic saves particularly the two involving Eden Hazard. Speroni has been a loyal servant for Palace and is currently their longest serving player, with performances like this Palace will hope he never leaves.


Oooooh Speroni

Oooooh Speroni

Nipple of the Week:

There  is a total of 11 nipples this week and they all play for Newcastle. They were diabolical against Scum on the weekend and deservedly lost 4-0. Actually make that 12 nipples because how could I leave out that knob-head Pardew who is still banned from the dugout? Now I hate Southampton, everything about them but they dominated a Newcastle team that looked like it would have been ripped apart by a League Two team. Only one shot on goal all game and that was a tame effort by Cisse. Players were bickering among themselves as they tried to scramble from the blame. They have been poor for awhile now and that is down to Pardew no doubt about it. After headbutting Meyler a few weeks back Pardew has been banned from stadiums let alone dugouts and it's clearly cost the Magpies. It has potentially ruined their run-in for the season which can make or break how well the overall season is. As a manager Pardew has failed his team and club, what a nipple.
