KALINIĆ FINALLY ON THE BOARD



With hit post after hit post haunting him recently like he was bitten by the 'bad luck' bug, 22 year-old former Hajduk Split star Nikola Kalinić has finally lifted the weight of the world off his shoulders by scoring his first goal in the English Premiership. Kalinić started for the Blackburn Rovers Wednesday night against Wigan Athletic continuing with his usual ways- hitting the post in the fifth minute with a right footed shot.


With the match tied up at 1-1 in the 76th minute, Kalinić finally broke his bad luck streak with a game-winning header off a corner kick. Kalinić has scored Carling Cup and FA Cup goals this season, but he now has a Premiership goal to his name. We can only pray that he repeats good performances like today's throughout the rest of the season and his English career.


So, has Kalinić finally broke out of his slump or was it just a fluke goal? Prva Generacija, what do you think?

MODRIĆ SCORES FUNNY GOAL


In Tottenham's 3-1 win over Wigan in FA Cup action on Friday, Luka Modrić scored one of the funniest and most unorthodox goals I have seen in awhile.


You can judge the video for yourself, but Modrić jumped over the shot before he tripped. Can you say "Right place at the right time?" Luka now has 3 goals in the past 5 games. Check it out and enjoy!

EDUARDO TO RETURN AGAINST WIGAN?


The Sun today has reported that Eduardo da Silva has fully recovered from injury and is possibly three weeks away from a return. The Croatia international suffered a horrific leg injury following a challenge by Birmingham's Martin Taylor in February which was expected to keep him out until Christmas.


Eduardo Injury : Eduardo



Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger sounded more than optimistic on a quick return for the 25 year old Croatian international. "Eduardo is three weeks away from playing competitive football," Wenger told Arsenal's website. "What I mean by competitive football is joining in completely with a normal training session. "After that he has to come back to match-fitness - but he is ahead of where we expected him to be and that is fantastic news."


Hopefully, Arsenal will not try to force Eduardo into an early start. After suffering one of the worst injuries in English Premiere league history, it is safe to say that Eduardo isn't expected to make a huge impact on an already heavily talented Arsenal squad. Eddie, take your time buddy. We need you big guy. However, we are waiting patiently for your return!
