A special midweek bonus edition:
1. Drugs in the game. We all know about Adrian Mutu, Edgar Davids, Jaap Stam, the recent story about the 3 England internationals and if we travel back in time we get to people like Maradona, Frank McAvennie and others. Do you think that it is a very very small pondry, or that it is a big issue that seems to be covered up by clubs or the FA who have had their stars fall under the narcotics spell?
2. Ruud van Nistelrooy. True European great as suggested by Slur Alex this week, or man in the right place at the right time?
3. The transfer window. Is it really doing the job it was supposed to? i.e make the whole transfer system fairer by giving all clubs the same amount of time to buy and sell players, or is it a hinderance? i.e smaller clubs cant sell their best players when it suits them and other clubs cant delve into the transfer market to cover for injuries, suspensions etc?
4. Premiership player of the year. Who gets your vote at this stage?
5. The Uefa Cup. Any point to it anymore? Have Uefa done the right thing, with trying to copy the hugely successful Champions League format? Or has it totally destroyed the the F.A cup style competition?
