So, the month is over and the guess are in, lets see how you did in the End of September Quiz.

1. Who is the tallest player to have appeared in the EPL this season?

While Peter Crouch stands at a massive 6ft 7, Birmingham Citys towering new signing Nikola Zigic rises high above him at a mammoth 6ft 7 and a half. Not much in it I know, but always nice to start with a question that ignores the obvious.

2. Who is the shortest player to have appeared in the EPL this season?

Must admit this one confused me. I always had it in my mind that Shaun Wright Phillips was the smallest, but no fellow England winger Aaron Lennon is just half an inch shorter at 5 ft 5 inches.

3. Name the two players to have scored against Chelsea this season?

Bit of an easier one this, obviously Carlos Tevez scored the winner for Manchester City against the Blues at the weekend, and earlier on in September, Scott Parkers delightful chip broke Chelseas unblemished defensive record.

4.Who is currently the EPLs leading assist maker?

Manchester United winger Nani finally looks like he is coming of age this season after an impressive start. The flying Portuguese star already has six assists to his name so far this term.

5. Who has committed the most fouls in the EPL?

This award goes to Boltons Kevin Davies who has committed a remarkable 24 fouls already this season, seven ahead of Newcastle Uniteds Andy Carroll.

6. Dimitar Berbatov scored a hat-trick in Manchester Untieds 3-2 win! over Li verpool. Before then, when was his last EPL treble?

A tricky one this, but Im sure some Spurs fans will remember the Bulgarians remarkable four goals in Tottenhams 6-4 victory over Reading in late 2007.

7. Who has picked up the most bookings so far this season?

Premier League fans who listen to the commentators and pundits will have surely picked up on this statistic. Newcastle United defender James Perch set a new league record by picking up five bookings in the first five games of the season.

8. Moussa Dembele made a great start to his Fulham career, but whom did they sign him from?

It was a bit of an up and down month for Dembele who after scoring the winner in Fulhams win over Wolves, was stretchered off in their Carling Cup game at Stoke. Dembele is now set to miss most of October, not the start he wanted after his singing from AZ Alkmaar.

9. Who was the first player to be sent off this season?

Some of you thought Lee Cattermole would have committed the most fouls in the league this term, well the fact that he has hardly been on the pitch has probably prevented him picking up that honor. Cattermole was sent off in Sunderlands opening game of the season after just 44 minutes.

10. Owen Hargreaves returned to Manchester United training this month, but when and who against did he last make a Premier League start?

Okay a hard one to the end the quiz. Do you remember Uniteds 4-1 victory over West Ham that took them on the brink of the title in 2008? Well Hargreaves started that game at right back, and that was his last Premier League start way back on May 3rd 2008.

So all in all another exciting month of Premier League football. My personal moment of the month was Evertons dramatic comeback against Manchester United, while my player was of the month was probably Dimitar Berbatov, just simply for his stunning display against Liverpool.

What are your thoughts? Who ex! celled i n September?

    Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

    Image
    The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

    England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

    Image
    One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

    How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

    Image
    Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
