Three of the Premiership's finest

1. Ronaldo. Simply, without question, the best player in the league right now. Scoring goals and providing assists for fun, terrorizing defenses across the country with his trickery and skill... simply brilliant. This is coming from an Arsenal fan, so believe you me this is hard to swallow; accepting the Mancs have the best player in the league. Nonetheless, nobody can question that fact. When Ronaldo first joined Utd, people accepted the sheer brilliance of his tricks and flicks, but many questions his end product. Too often, his crosses would go astray, or his shots would be miles off target. He was thus nicknamed a "show boater" in the media circles. Despite the rocky start, he has proved everyone wrong this season and could be in line for the Ballon D'or....

2. Dider Drogba. Some People might raise eyebrows here, but I think he has been Mr. Consistency for Chelsea since day one. I vividly remember his last gasp winner at Everton, where he half volleyed an impossible strike into the top corner from nearly 40 yards, as his best (and most important) goal of the season. Time and time again he has come up trumps for Chelsea. I also feel he had added more to his game this year, he tracks back and completes defensive duties for Chelsea, heading away dangerous balls from set pieces and corner kicks. But more importantly, this year Drogba has grown mentally ; it's not just the physical side of his game that has reaped rewards for Chelsea. People have short memories, but I have not yet forgot his "quit threat" last year on Chelsea when he was being lambasted in the newspapers for diving - that explosive confrontation between Mourinho and Bryan Robson might jog your memory! Back then, Drogba gave serious thought to leaving Chelsea, he was emotionally distraught, and people were questioning the $25 million tag he was carrying around with him. But now, few could argue that the Ivorian has set the league on fire, and scored some crunch goals for the blues as they are in pursuit of a record equaling third successive title.

3. Tomas Rosicky. Some people might say, "why not Fabregas?" Or possibly Adebayor - who in turn has had a prolific season. Nonetheless, I selected Rosicky because he has blended an attacking pulse into Arsenal's play which was missing last season. Fabregas is incredible, don't get me wrong, but Rosicky has the ability to inject urgency and a lethal streak into Arsenal's attacks. He is also capable of playing anywhere across the midfield, and behind the striker as an advanced attacking midfielder. He also, like Drogba, is not afraid to fulfill his defensive commitments and this was typified in his epic display away to Bolton in the FA Cup where the Czech was simply on fire ; playing a key role in engineering the opening goal. The highlight of his Arsenal career, so far, came at Anfield. Liverpool had not faced defeat there, domestically, for nearly 6 months. But Rosicky tore Liverpool's porous defense to shreds with his movement, passing, and shooting accuracy. His two goals that memorable night summarize his importance to Arsenal, the ability to get forward from midfield, reek havoc, and score spectacular goals which devastate the opposition. He really is Robert Pires in disguise.....!!!!!!!
