PATO
Originally posted by SlayReally? I mean, he's good but he has only played 16 professional matches. Not counting the games he's played for Brazil U-21.
Have you watched him play, his skill, speed, movement off the ball, oversight?
He is something very special, it may be a bit to soon to make this statement and Ill get roasted for it but;---
There was Pele, Maradonna, Ronaldo, Zidane, and Ronaldinho (maybe) who were extra class, I think Pato will join them eventually.

would you put rivaldo in that group?
That one about the best on current form:
.......................Howard
Hutton.....Laursen.....Lescott.....Clichy
.....................Diarra.......................
..........Ronaldo..........Ballack..........
...Adebayor.....Berbatov.....Tevez...
PS. Pato looks the bomb, but I still think Messi is all that and a bag of chips.

**** off. 2 games (1 against Derby) isn't form.
Pato would spark Messi aht.
Why do people assume Arsenal are the ones who need breathing room and not Man Utd, who until recently, were behind, then level on points? This is the kind of psychological bias that is quite bs.
People have said; "It was an emotional day for Man Utd, maybe that's why they didn't play their best.", whatever.
Almost all of those players have near enough zero emotional ties that go far enough back to be that affected by the Munich incident.
They lost cos they got outplayed, again, by Man City. Arsenal are top because they're playing the best. Hopefully they'll get the win tomorrow, although Blackburn are always fouling idiots who cheap out a draw or something.

it probably was an emotional day for man utd... but its not excuse. something like that should inspire you to play better for the memories of those lost. arsenal are looking good and they'll take some beating. chelsea could ave caught up but drew to liverpool who are simply not anywhere near the top three to where a lot of teh "experts" place them.
i wonder who'll win on the weekend. if i was a neutral my money'd be on arsenal right now, but i dont know. maybe thats what man u need to spark some life into their game.
after ronaldo scored the hat trick against newcastle hes taken a huge dip in form. if arsenal win tomorrow and beat man u at the weekend i can see it taking a big effect on manchester as far as getting results go.
but then again we all know thats not going to happen.

I was implying that Arsenal is now pulling away from Man Utd, not that they've been under constant duress and they've finally got out from under it. Sorry I didn't clarify.

Because Man U have been whooping Arsenal lately.
It's not even a league game, so I couldn't care less really. Would be nice to win, but don't mind if we lose. The league is my concern, that ain't new, baybehhh.

yeah, a double would be nice, but i suppose id settle with the league as well.honestly though, i think arsenal are going to take care of business tomorrow. the way their playing i wouldnt mind if they took the title this year, wenger deserves it for what hes done with that team.
Unfortunately you don´t always get what you deserve in football.
I think Arsenal have a big advantage over most teams, especially when 3/4 of the season has passed and the injury's and tiredness starts raising their heads.
Arsenal play a short passing system where any player can score which is very effective. This is obviously trained intensively, so they won´t have to rely totally on individual brilliance of top players to win games.
Other teams tend to imo, if C.Ronaldo & Tevez were out for a few weeks Man united would miss them in a big way.(lets face, most teams would)
Some will probably disagree, but thats just my opinion.
