Premier League week 5 - Who’s HOT and who’s NOT?
I did not do too bad with my predictions really. OK, I was savagely in the great Chelsea and Manchester United game, but five out of ten correct results is quite incredible for me!

Let the Villains and heroes of this weekend Premier League games;

Hot team
Not much doubt about the price this week. Manchester City is a club that now have the opportunity to challenge the best in Europe. They need to create a team that can do the same. Judging by the way they dismantle a reasonable side Portsmouth yesterday, Mark Hughes might not be too far from what later building.

When they were moving forward to the Olympics, Robinho, Wright-Phillips, Elano and others has been quite spectacular. They look quite so good in the cold and wet winter and whether they will be strong enough when they need to battle, I'm not so sure, but for the moment they were indeed very Special yesterday.

No hot team
Obviously, this should go to Portsmouth, but I do not want to add to the misery of their weekend. I think Tottenham 0-0 draw at home to Wigan say they should always receive the less hot team in the Premier League. A glance at the table will confirm the facts.

Why are Tottenham as a cocktail stick? They both won two points!

Hot Goalkeeper
I had so much stick over the past year, besides being deserves to be fair, but this award must go to Blackburn Paul Robinson.

He has a new chance at a new club and judging by two excellent saves I made to allow Blackburn to keep a clean sheet on Saturday, it seems that it might make the most of.

No hot goaltender
This must go to the man currently in possession of the England number one shirt. It has always been the best goalkeeper England for a couple of years now, but from time to time he has an absolute stench!

David James managed to make almost every mistake in his repertoire of the 6-0 defeat to Manchester City. He reminded us all why we are so nervous every time the ball goes near him, despite the fact that it is fundamentally an outstanding goalkeeper.

Hot defend
For me, this award is given to Rio Ferdinand who once again gave a master class in the art of defense in the 1.1-Unis bring to Chelsea. There is no aspect of The Game that Ferdinand seems to cause major concern. It can tackle, head, pass, move forward properly and his reading of The Game is second to none.

It is time that the inconsistency of his past and his previous crimes to be forgiven and forgotten by Ferdinand and defend well be the great Haile as he is.

Not to defend hot
I hardly much to give this award to one of the best English defenders I have ever seen. Sol Campbell has been torn by the vibrant city of Manchester play forward in a way that Sol Campbell, three or four years would not have been.

It is a shame to see a player who is on the way down. It is still good, but it is far so good as I was!

Hot Midfielder
I'm not sure that there is another player from the Premier League in the absence is felt more than Tim Cahill to Everton. The Everton side with him, it is so much more efficient than one without him. It is a driving force and it is with great goals.

Yesterday, Everton found themselves 2-0 at Hull and it was Cahill who Grabber The Game Scruff by the neck, score the first goal and Everton forced back into it to get a point.

No hot Midfielder
People rave about Stewart Downing at Middlesbrough, but I can not see. I do not go to him is a very good left winger. It's just that some people again and again about it and I do not see him as a player of international class.

0-0 away to local rivals and you've got a penalty. A cool head is needed. Downing measures and sends the ball into orbit!

Hot Striker
He always had the potential to be one of the best but never quite the case for Michael Chopra. He never established himself as a regular first team that his loan spell at Cardiff and her personal problems have been well publicized.

In the last ten minutes on Saturday, he was presented with two chances and that's all. 2-0 at Sunderland. It is a shame that he never fulfilled his enormous potential, but when it happens, it is fair to recognize.

Striker not hot
While everyone is going on Robbie Keane on the lack of scoring for Liverpool, everyone has noticed that a certain Fernando Torres are not exactly prolific? He seems to be well below the actor who started last season for Liverpool.

There is no doubt that it is a great attacker and that the goals will be at a certain stage, but to attract Torres to another blank against a limited but Stoke Rafa defense must be a little disturbing.
