Lazio are definitely not throwing the game. They're just too bad and lack the quality to take a point from Inter. The players are trying their best, but the fans are absolutely retarded; when Inter scored the crowd celebrated as if Lazio had just won CL or something. XD And they boo'd everytime Lazio had a decent attack.

It's easy to forget how good Cronaldo still is. He's outshined by Messi in the same way Flash outshines JD.

Villa is 28, it's not that old.

C.Ronaldo is being outshined since he doesn't pass often enough. Less egoistic and he could be a really great player.

He is a great player. I hate his guts, but the kid is awesome. I would love to like him.

Lazio's entire offensive strategy is ''Give the ball to Zarate and hopefully he can score on his own''. Fail.

the commentators are saying Lazio is one of the most racist teams in the world and they actually sign Hitzerlsberger because of Nazi-Germany.
wow wtf?

Ronaldo is probably the fastest player on the planet right now who is also skilled and just a very very good player

( just in case someone comes up with stating a few very fast players who arent really good except for their pace i added the skilled ;D )

cronaldos still pretty amazing and hes not whiny anymore + he isnt as egoistic as people want him to be

walcott is very good in general

and ridiiiiiculously fast

I read recently that he had ran a 100 meter in I think 10.30 or so.. the last norwegian championship was won by someone running 10.5 or thereabouts (granted, the fastest norwegian wasnt running.. but he'd still be the second fastest sprinter in norway.. )

I read recently that the fastest players were 1. Ronaldo 2. Robben and 3. Walcott. I think it was some german magazine that reached that conclusion with the help of some statistics.

La Liga will die completely as a competiton if stuff like Villa to Barca happens. It is already 99% certain that either Barca or Real will win it the next season the way things already are (Real is what, 20 points ahead of #3?) and if the big 2 keep buying all the good players from the other ''top'' teams, then it will be Scottish League 2.0. =/

Italian football can be so retarded at times. The SS Nazio fans actually hate Roma more than they love Lazio. Great.

Serie A - the dirtiest, most corrupt league in the world!

Gabriel Agbonlahor is probably the fastest player in England. Walcott is a decent player but he doesn't seem very talented technically.

quoting this for posteternity!!

also googling around quite a bit it looks like different tests and measurements yield different results, ive seen both ronaldo and walcott listed as fastest, as well as sol campbell listed as the second fastest player in PL (which is obviously wrong)

but when walcott was 14 he was equally fast as the currently fastest sprinter in england.
and the goal article lists ronaldo at 20.88 mph, whereas one of the links I found had "Using data captured over the last two seasons, Castrol have calculated the top speeds of every Premier League player and Walcott came out on top reaching 22.72 mph."

so meh I still think walcott is fastest.

ronaldo obviously better though.

Well you have to consider acceleration, topspeed, speed with ball, and speed without ball. So just talking about "fastest" isn't really doing us any good.

its very possible that ronaldo is the fastest with the ball.. his speed is pretty much unchanged whether he's running with a ball or not. but I can't see anyone (at the top level) beating walcott in a 100 meter sprint.

Henry used to be a track runner before he decided to put all his attention on football, explains his pace lol.

Henry has ever since been one of the fastest and trust me I saw so many clips of his fastest runs..
Now that hes aged he slowed down considerably but at his prime he was definitely one of the fastest players out there..

I remember him stating '' Im the fastest Arsenal player '' and when asked if he raced with Walcott he said '' I didnt race with him yet but he's very very fast ''

But tbh I have the feeling Cronaldos STYLE of running fast is just so good. Almost like a trackrunner..
