The Legend lives on........... this is very true. Long after the Emperor's retirement he is still remembered and ll still be remembered as one of best formula 1 drivers.

He is a person who created a revolution in the world of Sports and especially in the world of Formula 1.

Micheal's last race was at Sao Polo in Brazil in the year 2006. I would surely rate his last race as one of his best. Even though it was just another day at the office for him, he was at his peak on that particular day. Let me take u through the proceedings of Schumacher's final race day.

Schumacher needs ten full points to get the championship and thats not it, his rival Alonso must not get a point in the race. It certainly was a tough ask. Filipe Massa had clinched the pole position and he had a huge task of helping his team mate on his last race. Alonso just needed 1 point to ensure that he retained championship. Micheal was starting from 10th position in his last race due to a fuel pump failure. Micheal has started 3 times form 10th position in his career. But his best finish from 10th is just a 5th place. One good news is that he has won the race once after starting at 16th in the grid, and in Schumacher's case predictions are of no use cause we should always expect the unexpected from the MASTER.

Race starts its a total of 71 laps and a boom!!!! there is crash in the first lap both the Williams hit each other and the safety car is out. race starts after 3 laps Micheal jumps top 6 th place while Massa sticks to his first position. 61 laps more Micheal over takes Giancarlo Fisichella and there first disaster strikes. As soon as Micheal over takes his left rear tyre gets punctured. Micheal takes a pit stop changes all his tyres, rejoins the race at 20th position.The race continued with no big changes for the next few laps. 47 laps more Massa takes his first pit stop and rejoins the race in 3rd position and Micheal is far behind at 17th place. Alonso is the new race leader followed by Button. All drivers start going to the pit, Micheal climbs to the 13th spot. Massa has a good stop and now he is back in front of the race. Button makes a good pass to overtake Raikkonen, tat was a very close pass.

Half way down the race Micheal Schumacher is at 11 th place an Massa at 1st. Micheal starts accelerating more and he reaches 8th place in no time. Micheal over takes Kubica to get to 7th place by a sweet pass on the inside. Micheal is having a very tough day at office , with his car giving him loads of problems. 29 laps more for the race to end. Micheal comes for his second pit stop when there is just 24 laps remaining and rejoins at 8th spot, Barrichello is in front of him.

Battle between two old team mates Barrichello receives a message from his team " Micheal behind u and ur racing him". but Micheal is speeding away. This one of the one of the best team message i ve ever heard. Micheal overtakes barrichello in th straight section of the 20th lap and waves at him as he passes,wow tat was a wonderful sight. All the drivers start taking their second pit stop.19 more laps to go and Micheal is at number 6. Massa takes his final stop he rejoins at 1st, Alonso is back on 2nd place button is at a close 3rd. Can Ferrari claim the constructors?. 14 laps more Micheal still in 6th can the master pull out something miraculous. Just 8 laps to go Micheal over takes Fisichella to move to 5th place. Now the battle is between Micheal and Kimi. Kimi is going to replace Micheal in Ferrari next year lets see if Micheal can prove his dominance over Kimi in his last race.

6 laps to go there is a crash and the safety car is out, Nick Heifield has crashed due to a suspension failure. Micheal is loosing precious time. Race resumes 5 laps to go Micheal is right behind Kimi ans Massa is enjoying outstanding lead right at the first position.2 laps more, and we see a fantastic move by Micheal. He pulls of a mind blowing pass right on the inside at the straight section to move ahead of Kimi. Both the cars had just a few gap between them they were going wheel to wheel and eventually Kimi gave way for Micheal cause that was the only thing he could do!!

The crowd roars seeing this sight, the Ferrari team mechanics are ecstatic what more can u ask from a person on his last race?? but Micheal is not finished yet. Alonso gets a radio message "I ve got good news and bad news for you, good news is there is only two laps to go and the bad news is Micheal is coming".Micheal goes on to make the fastest lap in his final lap but that was not enough for him to move up in the rankings. Micheal finishes fourth Massa takes his second career victory, Alonso finishes second and comfortably claims the championship for the second consecutive year. Alonso is really happy but sad tat he is leaving his team Renault with he he has won his two titles. Alonso is joining Mclaren Mercedes next year.

This is the final top 5

1 Fileppe Massa
2 Fernando Alonso
3 Jenson Button
4 Micheal Schumacher
5 Kimi Raikkonen

I surely feel Micheal was a very satisfied man at the end of the day and this was arguably the best race of his formula 1 career. He had driven his car in the best possible way he can and with a few mechanical problems he surely did commendable job to finish fourth. I am sure tat his fans ll keep on loving him forever no matter if he is in the sport or not, his 16 year long career ll always be remembered by all.. I salute the master for being such an entertainer and wish him good luck for his future endeavors.

Have u ever seen one person talk good abt another ? tat too in EPL ? No then just scrol down

Cesc Fabregas believes Emmanuel Adebayor has grown into "one of the best strikers in the world" - and admits Arsenal could not "live without him" right now.

Togo's loss in failing to secure qualification for the African Nations Cup has certainly proved the Gunners' gain, as in-form Adebayor took his tally to 19 for the season with a first-half strike in the 3-0 win over Newcastle at Emirates Stadium last night.

It was a result which lifted Arsenal back to the top of the English Premier League over Manchester United, who host Portsmouth on Wednesday, and ensured there would be no hangover from last week's Carling Cup semi-final defeat to arch-rivals Tottenham.

Adebayor, 23, has now netted an impressive nine goals in his last seven appearances, scoring the opener in three successive league games.

Manager Arsene Wenger hailed the 6ft 4in African as a "dream striker", who continues to go from "strength to strength".

Midfielder Fabregas believes there are few around to match him, as understandably comparisons with the likes of Chelsea's Ivory Coast frontman Didier Drogba begin to be drawn.

"Emmanuel is one of the best in the world, without any doubt," Fabregas declared.

"You can not fault him in any way. He works, he defends, he chases the centre-backs, he goes behind, he can play to feet, he has a good first touch and a good technique.

"He has improved amazingly and for us I don't think we could live without Adebayor right now."

Adebayor - signed from Monaco during January 2006 - is certainly repaying the faith shown in him by Wenger following the summer sale of talisman Thierry Henry to Barcelona, and on current form he looks set to smash the 30-goal barrier sooner rather than later.

Fabregas is glad to see how quickly his team-mate has become the "idol of the club".

"You have to have the capacity to learn, to be patient. He was when Thierry was here. Now he has the chance and he has taken it," said the midfielder.

"That's what a big player does. Sometimes players they have the chance and they don't take it. He took it, he is playing very well, is improving every day and now he is the idol of the club."

Fabregas was also on the scoresheet on Tuesday night, netting Arsenal's third with 10 minutes left.

His midfielder partner Mathieu Flamini capped another impressive display with a stunning 25-yard effort.

Flamini, who almost left the club in the summer, has been a revelation this season, and is in talks about extending his contract, which runs out at the end of the campaign.

Fabregas hopes the 23-year-old Frenchman will remain part of an exciting young side.

"Mathieu has been amazing all season," said Fabregas. "He is hyperactive, on the pitch, outside the pitch.

"He has so much passion for the game. He enjoys it and he hates losing.

"I don't know how he does it but he has so much power. With his encouragement we play better."

Fabregas added: "He is a very big player for us and has improved a lot.

Three weeks after the controversy erupted, the racism charge against Harbhajan Singh was found to be not proven by Justice John Hansen, hearing the appeal, on Tuesday. Harbhajan was instead charged with a Level 2.8 offence - abuse and insult not amounting to racism - to which he pleaded guilty and was fined 50 per cent of his match fees.

With this, the cloud over the immediate future of the Indian tour lifted; the Indian team, which had gathered in Adelaide in a show of support instead of proceeding to Melbourne for Friday's Twenty20 match, has now decided to continue with the original arrangements.

Harbhajan had been found guilty of racist abuse of Andrew Symonds during the Sydney Test in early January and handed a three-Test ban by match referee Mike Procter. The charge was leveled by the on-field umpires, Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson, on a complaint from Ricky Ponting, Australia's captain that Harbhajan had called Symonds a monkey.

During the hearing, oral evidence was called for from all the witnesses to the exchange between Harbhajan and Andrew Symonds - Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Matthew Hayden and Sachin Tendulkar. The witnesses were then cross-examined by Brian Ward, counsel representing the Australians, and VR Manohar, representing Harbhajan.

Justice Hansen said he was convinced that, on all the evidence submitted before him, the charge of a Level 3.3 offence was not proven but that Harbhajan should be charged with a Level 2.8 offence. Harbhajan pleaded guilty to this charge, after which the fine was imposed on him. Hansen is scheduled to provide the full reasons for delivering his judgment on Wednesday evening.

After the hearing the two teams issued a joint statement emphasizing the need to move on and focus on the cricket. Harbhajan and Symonds said they had resolved the issue between them in Sydney and now intend to move on. They have said they intend to make no further comment on the issue and get on with the game of cricket, which is the most important issue for each of them. The two captains also expressed their satisfaction with the outcome.

Cricket Australia's spokesman Peter Young said both the Indian board and Cricket Australia were happy with the decision. Sharad Pawar, president of the Indian board, said the verdict vindicated the BCCI's stand. BCCI was consistently taking only one stand that it was practically impossible for us to accept the racist charges against any Indian player.

Standing back to fast bowlers, he was superb. Even now, in this sudden, dismaying and inevitable hour, it is possible to remember him flying through the air to take glides down the leg side, glove outstretched, landing with a thump and emerging with the ball with the sort of pleasure detected in a child who has found a plum. At these times he transformed innocent glances into remarkable snares.

Doubtless it helped that he is a left-hander but then his work in the other direction was not much worse. He was a capable, as opposed to gifted wicketkeeper.

Standing over the stumps to spinners, Gilchrist was reliable. Over the years Shane Warne had less reason than he imagined to regret Healy's departure. Until the last few rugged months, Gilchrist did not miss much. Often he'd wear a helmet to counter the Victorian's prodigious spin, and his work behind the pads was admirable. He holds the world record for Test victims. He must have done something right.

Others may reflect upon his thrilling innings at the top of the order in fifty-over cricket, not least the dazzling hundred in the last World Cup final. But then, he attacked because he must. In Test cricket he attacked because he could. He refused to be bogged down by bowling or inhibited by pressure, and did not allow a frown to cross his brow except when an injustice has been observed or an uncharitable remark had upset him, and then he spoke his mind with the same directness that marked his batting.

Gilchrist was a magnificent willow-wielder. Released from worry by his work behind the sticks, he was able to express his temperament at the crease. Fortunately he had the range of strokes needed to meet the occasion: the swing of a swordsman, an ability to assess the length of the ball in an instant, plenty of power, and a wide range of strokes off both feet. Always he looked for opportunities to score, giving ground to defence only when every alternative had been removed. It took fierce reverse-swing or probing spin offered early in the innings to unsettle him. Otherwise he was not easily troubled let alone dismissed.

Above all, Gilchrist was a sportsman. Nothing held against him would have raised a murmur from someone else. Cricket will miss his smile and sense of fun and also his panache with the bat. Australians will miss the sight of him walking through the gate when the team was in trouble or else when quick runs were required. Everyone will remember the dynamic hundred struck in Perth against England.
