Premier League Barometer

Who's Hot


Gianfranco Zola

His team might have been wearing two rubbish school sports day numbers on their chests, but everything else was stylish about West Ham's performance.

Paul Robinson

The fallen England goalkeeper was in superb form as Blackburn edged Fulham 1-0, making game-winning saves from Simon Davies and Andrew Johnson.

Michael Chopra

Wasn't it a good weekend for players who have battled gambling addiction? Chopra and West Ham's Matthew Etherington were among those getting on the scoresheet.

Ji-Sung Park

Last time Manchester United faced Chelsea - in Moscow last May - the Korean wasn't even in the squad. This time round he was not only a starter but a goalscorer to boot.

Arsene Wenger

Monsieur Wenger usually doesn't like it up at the Reebok, but he emerged with a smile on his face this time after a superb performance to overcome those brutes from Bolton.

The Blue half of Manchester

A new dawn has indeed broken at Eastlands. You know things are looking up when Stephen Ireland doesn't look out of place mid-samba with Robinho and Jo.

Who's Not


Robbie Keane

The Liverpool striker's goal drought showed no signs of ending against Stoke. Is the Irishman ever going to score again?

Stuart Downing

After hitting the crossbar with a penalty against Stoke, some would say it was brave of Downing to step up when Boro won a spot-kick versus Sunderland. Brave or stupid.

Nicolas Anelka

The Frenchman could have thrown away Chelsea's four-and-a-half year unbeaten home record when he missed an open goal - but Salomon Kalou bailed him out.

Stuart Attwell

The baby-faced referee's chances of taking charge of another Premier League game took a nose dive when he allowed a Reading 'goal' that clearly didn't cross the line. It wasn't even close.

Juande Ramos

The Spurs boss knows how to spend money - lots of it - but two points from five games suggest he is not quite as proficient at turning said cash into success.

Keith Andrews

Nul points for the Blackburn midfielder's attempt to maim Jimmy Bullard during Rovers' 1-0 win over Fulham. And Brett Emerton's efforts were hardly any more acceptable.
