It's not just that, but AVB is dedicating a player to cover the LM/LW position. Last season, Bale would start out left and then just drift in, with nobody to cover. Credit must also go to Bale, who has worked hard to develop his game allowing him to have more of an impact centrally. He still has...

I was shocked by Muller's strength on the ball when I saw the highlights last night. I knew he was tall but didn't know he had the strength to hold the ball up and shrug off defenders as well. The guy covers every area of the pitch of the attacking side of the game, CF/SS/LF/RF/LW/RW/CAM. Add...

From a Spurs fan, for what it's worth: Bale often annoys the hell out of me, because he can often goes quiet when we need him most, and is always trying things that he can't quite yet pull off, which ends up leading to nothing. What he does bring however, is a player that can capitalise on the...

You can get odds as high as 9/1 now on Ronaldo. Worth a punt if you want to cushion the blow should the unthinkable happen!

I know betting sites change based on who's betting what - but over here the favourite is Messi, followed by Iniesta and then Ronaldo. It would be a crime IF Ronaldo won it, but then anyone who doesn't have RM/CR7 blinkered specs on will know that. You don't set all the records Messi did, score...

It's not just him that does this during free kicks, but I've noticed before that his first step is to the side the wall is not covering, before he's even judged where the ball is going. The advantage is that he obviously has the head start if the free kick goes that way, but if it's going over...

You can't be the best in Europe when you finish 6th in your domestic league. I'm a firm believer of the CL only being available for CHAMPIONS of each league, but I doubt I will ever get to see that.

6 in 4 against Arsenal 2 in 4 against United Let's not forget his 2 assists against Chelsea, and 1? against Arsenal. Fact is, any player would struggle to score against 10/11 players in the box.

Someone has been editing Pele's stats on this :lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_association_football_goal_scorers_in_a_single_season

Incredible stats. I assume that it only takes into account direct assists?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_association_football_goal_scorers_in_a_single_season Haven't got verification on Stark & Deak. If Messi managed 70+ he'd hold the record without any possible dispute. Edit: Forgot link.

It's not just goals scored though, is it? It's how you score them and what else you bring to the team. I'm not saying this as a direct comparison between Messi and Pele as I've never seen Pele play, but Messi scores unbelievable individual goals, and when he's not scoring he's usually...

I'm happy that the press are reacting to this like they should, but still a little annoyed it's taken them this long. Madrid have done stuff like this in nearly every game against us, and just because Mourinho has come out crying about something he felt shouldn't have happened the press focus on...

Was Cristiano even there?

Loving Messi's suit!

To say he's the most overrated ever is a bit wide of the mark, he has a trick in his game and can make space for himself as he's done many times before. Speaking as a Spurs fan though, he is in no way a good LB (defensively). It's his better position in terms of getting forward as the space...
