The names of our usual suspects were to be found on Saturday's score sheets - Richard Sadlier (Millwall), Richie Foran (Carlisle) and Owen Coyle (Airdrie) - bringing their combined tally to a not unimpressive 29 goals this season, but our much cherished "player of the week" award will have to be sliced in to three because that's how many players we reckon deserve it.

First, Graham Kavanagh. Yesterday the man we call "Kav" scored what, in his book, would be categorised as a tap-in-a 30-yard missile strike of the Exocet variety. So? Well, he scored it against Wrexham. Now, we don't claim to be experts on Welsh footballing rivalries but we do know that if you score a half-decent goal for Cardiff against Wrexham (helping them to a 3-1 win) you attain the status of a demi-god, a status oft only afforded to the likes of Tom Jones and Charlotte Church. Nuff said.

Our other players of the week? Dean Kiely and Mark Kinsella, both of whom played a not insignificant part in Charlton's highly entertaining 4-2 drubbing of Arsenal at Highbury yesterday. Indeed, Kinsella left the ground with a magnum of Champagne in his kit bag, having been named man of the match for making Patrick Vieira (genuflect, if you please) appear mere mortal-like. A repeat performance against Iran next Saturday will do very nicely, Mr Kinsella.
