He got 29 last year, he's also got more assists over both of the last 2 seasons than Drogba. They're both awesome players, but I still think Ibra has more technical ability that Drogba. However it has to be said Drogba does turn up in the 'big games' more than Ibra.

I think Drogba is actually more talented than Zlatan, but his performance don't reflect that. I know the player I'd want on my team. I actually think it's the other way round.

Since when did Lorik Cana become Loritzana?

Class

According to Blackburn fans he's their best 'footballing' CB, can play the ball out of defence and actually pass. Makes sense that Sam's getting rid of him.

I don't actually mind Gezza that much - joint highest assist contributor last season, and how many games did he play? Just putting it out there.

Yeah I chanted it from within the womb. Then listen to the voice of experience Haha, I agree with you mate, we were always gonna lose games and I'm confident we'll bounce back on Saturday, aslong as the right team is played. Also, am I the only one who gets pissed off that the next game isn't immediate after a loss?

Yeah I chanted it from within the womb.

Ah seriously, Lovenkrands is utterly wasted on the wing. He's our only striker with pace and movement upfront, we must play him there. Just because a player has pace shouldn't mean he is crowbarred onto the flank, it doesn't work like that with him, proved at Rangers and proved every time he's played there with us.

Nice comfortable win and a draw in the Boro-WBA clash please. Have to go 4-4-2, and no more Lovenkrands on the wing, upfront only.

Whether he played respectively tonight or not means nothing. We have all seen more than enough evidence to suggest he really is utterly useless.

FYP.

Most of the arrogance is actually in jest, there's a good documentary in Swedish on him and he appears far more humble. Some of his quotes are great though: Zlatan - “First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog.” Reporter - “You’ve got some scars in your face, Zlatan. What has happened?” Zlatan - “Well…I don’t know…you’ll have to ask your wife about that” On the question what his girlfriend got when they got engaged: "What she got? She got Zlatan."

2nd best player in the world flukes a 4th for Real.

Writing's on the wall for CSKA. Not bad, although it took me a second

Martins playing for Wolfsburg today. They're 3-1 up against CSKA, Grafite hattrick.

Go on Zurich!

... but the best player in the world No.

Who's that, out of interest? Villa-Silva-Joaquin? Villa-Silva-Mata. All on the scoresheet today, Joaquin not the player he was I'm afraid.

Our games clashing with the CL games, this is a new experience.

That misplaced pass means I cannot dislike Chopra I'm afraid.

Valencia's triumvirate are awesome. Seriously, 40/1 for the title is worth a punt.

In absolute stitches, this thread is pure gold I would contribute but my attempts wouldn't be up to much.

Yeah wonder where Haris is?

A. Young, Walcott and Lennon? No one fancy taking a left footer? Aye, Joe Cole should certainly be there if he's not crocked. Has been one of England's most consistent players in recent years. Joe Cole's not left-footed, man. Fuck, really? We don't need one then, fuck Downing.
