Aye, shame about their defence. Got no idea why they haven't upgraded one of the 3 CBs. Aronica is a disaster but Fabio's brother has been giving him a run for his money tonight.

5 dodgy CBs = goals. Great game.

Awesome name too.

The backline looks suicidal at CL level tbh.

Arabs are going for European clubs now. Cheaper than buying established Prem clubs and easier to make a dent domestically.

Looks like a naff stock photo.

Tbf, look at the poll. Only 2 on the entire forum support the idea.

He's looked good IMO

Looking forward to the Napoli - Chelsea game tonight. Predictions?

Aye.

The lack of another centre forward is ridiculous. Gives them no flexibility formation wise.

Yep.

We need to contain Matt Jarvis though

Yep. Embarrassing if we let Ben Arfa go yet keep Ryan Taylor around the first XI next season.

Only 2, Zenit and CSKA.

That was my first thought too (although I only got through about 20 seconds.) Does anyone on here do this stuff? Genuine question btw. This one is alright mind... 4-0 AC Milan VS Arsenal UEFA champions league commentary + highlights

That is a brilliant quote. I actually remember an article in FourFourTwo around that time, probably around 2004/2005 actually when Ronaldinho was at the peak of his powers saying that Messi will be much better than him. Can remember me and my mate laughing it off as ridiculous at the time, I mean Messi looked great the moment he broke into the team but never would you have thought he'd go on to become what he is now.

I'm a bit stunned he's even in this poll.

Bump.

Pathetic.

Must be big and strong to be good at football!111!! LESS OF THAT PASSING AND DRIBBLING LARK AND MORE BULKING UP SHANE!!!!

Our squad players haven't been disasterous but to argue that they're the reason behind our success is ludicrous. I can't think of many good sides that have a bigger disparity between key players and the squad players than ourselves. We've basically got a few players who could legitimately claim to be the best in their position in the whole league and a number who are barely top flight quality. We've been carried this season by heroics from our best players.

From the country where Kevin Kilbane has 110 caps and still gets a game

alpal doesn't even watch La Liga but comes marching into this thread to post stats when he fancies it. Pro tip = watching footballers play football is better than stats Spends his time criticising people for admiring the best footballer of his generation while bitterly and pathetically trying to put him down at every turn. It goes back years, he's posted rubbish about how Messi couldn't cope as well in the Premier League and isn't as good as Rooney in the past. Rabbid, embittered fool.

there's a reason there's usually an absolute consensus about who the best player is, and there's usually a reason why some bellend is sat on the sidelines throwing insinuations and bullshit stats about to try and prove otherwise messi is the best on the planet, that's the end, numbers don't really matter...and if they did, he has better numbers than anyone else anyway No because if you by goals over just the last 3 seasons, but discount all competitions except the league then Ronaldo is better!11!! alpal criticising people for selective stats use while doing it himself =
