I agree about Abidal's intelligence and speed. However I also think that he is by far the least skilled player in the Barcelona first team squad, and you can't rely on him for anything more than running, the 80% good tackle, and the clearance. But he's also very mistake-prone (hence the frequent...

That makes me really glad he's gone. I don't miss him one bit, although before anything concrete comes out about this suing business I won't judge him regarding this matter.

I've always suspected that he qualified for goal.com, this is no surprise then...

Not really, 60% of the time his free kicks hit the wall or go into the stands. 20% they're off target. 10% they're saved. 10% he scores.

Yeah me too. Although both are great!

No I'm just pointing out that the point you made about the CL is void, because you said Arsenal put 11 men behind the ball, which isn't true cause they didn't have more than 10 in the first place, and also Messi was given a much more difficult situation to shine since Barca were down to 10...

Yeah I know that's exactly what I was saying in my post, that Xavi was also injured. But then again if you think about it, it's not really true that he dind't have the same quality of players - now we have Abidal, Maxwell, Busquets, Piqué, Chysus, Márquez etc etc these are all the same sorts of...

I fully agree with your statements about Ronaldinho's passing but about turning games around not so much... Since Dinho played quite a while ago now, I can't actually give precise examples of him turning games around - or failing to do so. But what I can say for certain that when Messi comes of...

I personally don't think that watching La Liga highlights alone would give someone an accurate chance to create a TotW like this, but it would be a good idea for entertainment's sake i suppose.

Ronaldinho could do insane tricks with the ball, but he was never as fast as Messi, and Messi is more effective as a player. I think that Messi can turn a game around or a win a game alone more and better than Dinho could. However I will always watch videos of Dinho during his prime, because he...

Now I can say that he is better than Ronaldinho ever was. I had to wait for last season to end, and then I've thought about it - now I've decided. Ronaldinho perhaps had more creativity with the ball, but as a player Messi's better and more effective.

Do you mean like the best players from the Liga into one Team of the Week? So players from various clubs making up 11? I don't know if this would work because I don't think any of us on the forum have enough time to watch all 10 matches.

Hahahah come on look at the way a good footballer stands when he kicks or anticipates this ball, whereas Fontas looks so unco his hands and legs are really all over the place. If you photoshopped out the ball and the kit, and you showed it to someone familiar with football and unfamiliar with...

We made Pathetico live up to their names. Zlatan and Messi have great goal/game ratios. We've made a better start to the season than last year, and if we could add to that the same string of amazing results...

Yeah I agree with what you say, but no matter what a player who leaves in 6 months isn't a settled player, irrespective of who sends him away from the club. Although i do realise that my point is sort of invalid, initially it was just meant to be a silly joke ;)

Barcelona.

I would disagree - he may have had great stats, but that's because he's a quality player. However all that fitting in stuff didn't work at all, because in 6 months time he was off to Italy, so he didn't really fit in and call Madrid his home...

:lol::lol::lol:

I'd love to be Messi for a day. Take the money and run!

HHAHA that's funny, perhaps he needed those gloves to do something to uuuhhh... relieve the pressure off the boys in the back, especially Piqué who had just come off the pitch...
