Sofia so good

Regular readers of this site will know that I have always been a staunch advocate of Didier Drogba...Last night, his hat-trick in Sofia gave us the win, while Barca and Bremen drew in Germany.

He has started the season like a steam train, helped no doubt by the new found ability to stay on his feet, and because he is playing as part of a front two, with the unselfish Shevchenko.

The Ukranian goal-machine hasn't been scoring much yet, but he will, and his play has still been superb. Shevchenko is definitely a factor in Drogba's level of performance this season.
