Nicolas Anelka: Prolific Striker Or a Lucky Get?

Anelka, Chelsea's still new signing is leading their scoring charts and has indefinitely been Chelsea's main goal scoring asset. However, can this experienced Frenchman in his old age, an ancient football guru, actually score a decent goal?

From what we've seen of him at Chelsea, that superb goal scoring technique has simply been wiped from his football boots, removed from his game and replaced by his new found way of shooting, the lucky tap in from three to four yards.

Is this what thousands of cheering fans come to see, if they're not silent at Chelsea as per usual. No, I presume it's not. Who wants to see a lucky tap in when you can see A Geovanni strike from outside the area. So, in other words, a little tip to all you Chelsea fans. Leave London and go live up in Hull. Your new team may not be top of the table, but at least you'll see some great goals.

After finishing this short article about Chelsea's Anelka we decided to interview Anelka asking him if he was still that prolific striker OR just a lucky get who taps it through the goalkeepers legs.

He responded with, "Is this some kind of joke, 'Low it man, it' not f***ing right, is you dizzee or summit, just f*** off yerrr!?". The kind words of a footballer? An inspiration to youngsters all over the country? I think not!

    Really good article, Anelka is undratted. Even when he has good runs of form people won't admit that theres got to be something about him consiidering how successful he has managed to be at the catalouge of clubs he has already been at.

    He was decent enough during his spell at Arsenal. Didn't impress at Madrid, but still a good striker overall.

    The best strikers in the world score any way they can, that's what makes them so valuable. He is getting up there in age (29) and for a guy whose primary assets are pure speed and powerful type shots he will understandably lose some efficiency if he can't get the separation he is to getting on the ball. That being said he is still a world class striker.

    Firstly i agree with the title, but not your resoning behind it. Anelka has scored lots of tap ins as they are being put on a plate for him - but you have to be in the right place to score them. and dont worry about spectacular goals we have plenty of other players to score them

    Secondly, mock interview was "interesting" - - if you ever heard him interviewed you would realise he is french and therefore has a french accent (actually much easier to mock than the route you took) - but i guess you may not understand that up north... people of different cultures and all that....

    finally i think you mean lucky git - not lucky get.....

      Firstly, I wrote this as a joke, (that's why it's in the humour section), after recently watching Adulthood :P So I made him speak like the typical chav porttrayed in Adulthood
      Secondly, I'm not a northener! How insulting! aha :P
      And I meant to write get by the way. Sounds better than git in the title
      Last-ly lol, the occasional elipsis, hoping you know what an elipsis is by the way, does not make you intelligent, it makes you a prat
      Happy writing! :D

    I think he would of been far better off developing a bit more at Arsenal but he listened too much to his brother... still he's not a bad player

    ha ha, touche Nel - not sure elipsis is the right word, but very fancy nonetheles.....

    the title actually does hits on a good discussion which i think your mate (nyall??) touched on... but you just keep writing the comedy, i think you have a real talent for it ;-)
