Definately getting better.
With reference to people saying a little bit of movement would be better, you are missing the point. This is not motorcylces, where 1/125 will get you movement in the wheel. Go out and buy a newspaper, you dont see the dailys selling images of Gerrard, Lampard, Crouch, Rooney etal with a little bit of motion to add the the shot. This is frozen action photography - as such these are great.
1 and 9 are the stand out shots - but I would loose the border, they do nothing for the images.
Finally, personally, I think football is the hardest sport to shoot. I simply does not lend itself to the camera.
