| Arsenal striker Robin van Persie and Fulham's Roy Hodgson have been named Barclays Player and Manager of the Month for October respectively. Van Persie has scooped the award after an electrifying month that saw the 26-year old score five goals and set up another two as the Gunners went through the month unbeaten. He notched up his first goal in the 6-2 demolition of Blackburn Rovers at the Emirates Stadium, drilling a low shot beyond Paul Robinson after fine work from Cesc Fabregas. This was then followed by the opening goal in the 3-1 win at home to Birmingham City. The flying Dutchman was again instrumental in the 2-2 draw at West Ham, scoring the opener before delivering an inch-perfect corner for William Gallas to nod in a second for the Gunners. Van Persie completed his impressive month by netting a brace in the 3-0 victory over North London rivals Tottenham, taking him to seven Premier League goals for the season. This is the second time that he has won the award, having previously claimed the prize in November 2005. The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans. Hodgson picked up October's gaffer gong after guiding the Cottagers through an unbeaten month despite a tricky fixture list. His charges kicked off the month with a 2-2 draw at West Ham and were only denied three points by Hammers striker Junior Stanislas' last-gasp equaliser. This was followed by a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Hull City before the team came back from two goals down to secure an excellent draw away at Manchester City. Fulham completed the month with a fine 3-1 victory over Liverpool, a win that saw the club move into mid-table and away from the relegation danger zone. This is the third time Hodgson has won the award and comes almost 12 years since he last scooped the prize in December 1997, while manager of Blackburn Rovers. He also won the award in August 1997. |
Well played :good:

probably your best post on here, just wish Hodgson was few years younger as he has made Fulham play some attractive football and get some good results against the big teams with limited resources (despite having the original sugar daddy), would have loved to see him at Arsenal.

Hodgson seems to me to be the most similar of character to Wenger of all the English Managers. He is a class act and he has really turned Fulham into a team I enjoy watching.

I still remember Hodgson going absolutely mad on the touchline when he used to manage...(blackburn? I think *shrug*)
Always cracked me up

hopefully he can inspire other english managers, especially the new lot, to be less hoof it and see.
CK's Korma - November 7, 2009 10:15 AM (GMT)
He's got the experience of managing abroad and that sets him apart from the typical English manager, and he's better for it too.
I don't think English managers have the bottle to go abroad anymore.
Woy. :bow:

Indeed, I don't think it's a coincidence that he's one of the only ones to get the call at one of Europe's elite (along with Sir Bobby).
Got a lot of time for him and he's done a fantastic job.

He has been superb. He has to prove that this isn't just a purple patch and perform this way right through the season. I think he will. :good:

He's doing pretty well I read though.

RVP is our best striker and is crucial to our success, well done. feck the haters!
Darth Vela - November 7, 2009 02:55 PM (GMT)
I agree, feck Adebayor, he's the only guy that hates him, right?
He's been incredible the last few months, I'd resigned myself to him not reaching the potential he showed but he's just getting better and better, one of the best around if he keeps this up.

| Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is set to become Holland's main striker after displaying some scintillating form with Arsenal. Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk has decided to appoint the Arsenal front man as Holland's main striker at the expense of Real Madrid forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, placing the former Manchester United star's international future in doubt. Van Persie has largely found himself deployed on the flanks during his international career thus far, however his recent displays as have prompted van Marwijk to reconsider the Arsenal man's position. Holland take on Italy and Paraguay next week as they prepare for the World Cup in South Africa, and van Marwijk is said to have consulted the Premier League star on the subject "I've spoken to Robin about it and it's all about what's best for the team,' Van Marwijk told the Daily Mail. "There's a big chance that Robin is going to play as a striker for Holland from now on, as he's doing a fantastic job for Arsenal and we are not blind to this in Holland." With van Persie to be dispatched in the striker role, injury prone Ruud van Nistelrooy's international future has been cast into doubt. |
I thought RVN had retired?
