The ESM Team of the Month section of World Soccer's magazine is something i usually avoid viewing. The most recent issue however at least consists of one player in the team of the month out of a so-called "big club". I read through the line-up consisting of Casillas (Real Madrid), Maicion (Inter), Evra (Man United), Ferdinand (Man United), Essien (Chelsea) then i let out a massive yawn. After my eyes dried following my massive yawn i read on and..... what? Tymoshchuk (Zenit) hooray i yelled. But my surprise then returned to boredom in an instant .... Ballack (Chelsea), Ronaldo (Man United), Ribery (Bayern), Toni (Bayern), Del Piero (Juventus).
I am not indicating that these players did not deserve their placings, but heaven forbid, do these journalists venture anywhere else but to see "big clubs" in action?? Sport-Express (Russia) voted recently for players from Chelsea, Bayern, Real Madrid, Inter, Roma, AC Milan and Juventus only. Gazzetta dello Sport (Italy) faired no better. There is a whole spectrum out there to explore, not just to make paid trips to the Bernabeu, Old Trafford and the San Siro for example then return to work to announce a most predictable team of the month... another massive yawn.

If they were going to pick a Zeit player, I can't understand why it wasn't Arshavin, who was outstanding in the UFEA Cup final.

You took the words out of my mouth mate. We are reportedly after the lad, reallisticly or not, he would be a great capture.

I thought possibly Carlos Cuellar might of got a vote somewhere along the lines. He may of said he is happy to stay at Rangers but we won't hold him for long

Stephen. I here you on this, really i do but surely the idea of the Team of the month as with player of the year etc is that those that have been best in the biggest of games will always be at the front of the queue. (Hence almost always from the bigger clubs)
