Hello again,

I've never doubted the abilities of Newcastle United's
striker, Obafemi Martins. And I was confident he would
succeed at Newcastle when Glen Roeder signed him
from Inter Milan for £10 million.

What I wasn't sure was how quickly he would settle in.
We all know how difficult it is to adjust to life in the
premiership. The pace and power of the English game
is usually a problem for newcomers.

Even multi million pound Chelsea signing Andrei Shevchenko
is struggling to adapt. Didier Drogba was a laughing
stock in his first season but he's the real deal at the
moment. We also remember that King Thierry Henry did
not score in his first dozen matches for Arsenal.

But not Obafemi Martins! Full of pace, power and skills,
he's been an instant hit with the fans of Newcastle,
the toon army. And make no mistake about it. The
"toon army" have watched Alan Shearer (who to me
is the greatest sriker in the premiership ever) for a
decade so they know a good striker when they see
one.

Martin's goal against Totteham was an absolute
stunner. His previous seven goals in the premiership
have been great. Not only that, his pace has been
giving the opposition a lot of headaches.

Ride on Martins. The sky is the begining.

I took another look at Martin's goal against
spurs and I couldn't help but marvel.

It's a stunner.

I had to uplaod it on to my blog.
