Did you see his 2 assists btw? Wtf, how can he be so good.
He needs 3 to break it. 65 goals and 30 assists... fucking insane.
That is why I love Messi.
Cristiano scores a lot of goals against lesser teams in the spanish league, but He scores less in other competitions. And He gives half assists that Messi (Messi give lot of Goal Assists to the team). And 1/4 goals from Cristiano are Penalti.
Most of Ronaldos goals in La Liga come against the top 6 teams, most of Messi's come for the bottom. You're right about Europe this year though.
Yea thats right Ronaldo's scored over a third of his goals against the top 6 so you cant say he scores most of his goals against lesser teams in the league atleast. Even his assist count isnt far behind Messi either, thats probably a pretty big reason they are winning.Infact hes barely scored any against the bottom 6. Most of Messi's dont come from the bottom though. Just about a 4th.
Really the only major difference has been Europe. Thats whats really jacked up the assist and goal count

Well, look at Nasri and cesc both out of the champions and 1 is out of the league hunt. RVP will sign with us again. If we sign top players like Verthogen from ajax and m'vila or Javi Martinez. Hopefully, we sign Belhanda what talent that guy is. We already signed podolski according to the daily mail. We make some good deals like these in summer we will become a contender on all fronts next year.
I still don't see a strong enough squad. Yeah, we've been unlucky with injuries (as usual), but the quality, and most importantly the depth just isn't there. And the players we're looking to sign over the summer are not that good either. We just can't financially compete with a host of other clubs, and Arsene's repeated attempts to unearth talent has gone wayward over the past 5~7 years.
As for Van Persie, him delaying the talks over his contract until after the Euros is a bad sign for us. It's clear he wants to wait & see if he can further impress potential suitors at the tournament.
Stop being a pessimist, ugh with wilshere and arteta coming back from injury and new signings we get this summer. RVP will surely sign for us. Where would he go not city, Madrid wants aguero, only destintation is barca and with all crap happening in barca i doubt it. His family loves London and he has both of his children in the arsenal program. He probably just wants to finish this season off and see who we sign before he commits to a new contract. This has been a pretty remarkable season with abysmal start and the talks about arsenal is a mid table team blablalba and look where we are now 3rd in the league. Captain VanTastic is here to stay!
Psh, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Gervinho, Walcott...what a nice set of youngsters to build your team around.
Not really. Ramsey hasn't been the same player since he came back from his leg break. He's very loose in possession, tends to be hesitant in front of the goal, and his passing often gets sloppy as the match goes on. Maybe he just needs more time to get back on the right track, but I'm not holding my breath (see what happened to Eduardo). Ox definitely looks a promising talent, but he has expressed his desire to play in central midfield, and I'm not sure how that'll turn out. I think he should focus more on being an out-and-out winger and work on his ability to go past players and deliver a good ball. We need good wingers more than CMs right now. Gervinho, I'm not really sure about. He's a decent player, but I still haven't seen anything particularaly noteworthy from him. And we all know Walcott is a very mixed bag. Blindly fast, yeah, and he can finish well, but is very inconsistent. He is also very poor at taking on defenders and going past them, and is very injury prone (which fits Arsenal perfectly lol).
Perhaps I am being a pessimist, but I'm just calling it as I see it.
You see Wenger is signing quality players with podolski now then M'Vila later. We have to optimistic or else we turn into spur fans ugh.

His performance level at Koln has been about the same level as maybe Gervinho was when he signed (stats wise). Hes a beast in the German setup. Flopped miserably at Munich, dont know why. Maybe someone does (aside from the injury).
He is however young and extremely experienced for his age which is great. If Arsenal play the way they are playing these days I see him scoring some goals. More so than what Walcott and Gervinho have been providing anyway. He seems the kind of player that can provide an impetus when you need a goal against league lowbies. (then again they I felt the same about Chamakh and Gervinho).
manchester full of pissed united fans and coppers, standard
and as an aside, paul scholes is 11/10 (yes that is ODDS AGAINST) to get a yellow card in this game. biggest value bet of the season there, thank me later

Nope.
Didn't think so.
I don't want City to win but there's something in me, some ancient, bitter grudge drilled deep into my soul that prevents me from hoping United win. I have flashbacks, standing alone in my lilywhite kit on the playground, surrounded by smug, jeering, mud slinging children, all in red shirts.
Basically I fucking hate United and I hate them winning again and again because it's boring and I never heard the end of it from my nearly exclusively United supporting schoolmates.
I have no idea why fergie plays for the 0-0 in huge games.. its not how we do things.. we have been bossed the whole half so far.. not even good to watch..
EPT
couldnt care who wins but will be a great games of football!!!
