Some people seem to think I am making a knee jerk comment based on RVP getting a hat trick against Southampton. I have called RVP the best player in the league for a while. I have seen him for the last 3 years and he has just been incredible. He literally saved Arsenal so many times. He has done it against the top teams in the biggest games. Anyway we will see over the course of the year. No point going around circles. For me he is the best in the league, for some people here he is not even the best striker in the league and others still not even the best striker at his club.didactic said:supercrystal7 said:alky313 said:Yaya Toure is better than RvP. As a footballer, person and has the credentials to back it up. Everything you describe RvP as (passing, dead ball, creating space) we have in a holding fucking midfielder.
You seriously calling Toure a holding midfielder? The guy is a complete midfielder. One of the best in the world in the very literal sense. Xavi and Schweinsteiger might be the only two better in the world.
When Van Persie scores a hattrick against Barca, Madrid or us I will call him better than what we have. Not against tired legs that were playing in the Championship and a clueless manager who cannot defend set plays. Tevez can score against ANY team as can Aguero as can Yaya can Van Persie?

Did Arsenal win the league ??
stop flapping you lot.
I think some of the overreactions are ridiculous but that's just not true though is it? For a start Rooney was 2nd top goalscorer behind Van Persie last season.
It's clear they are trying to blast teams away with firepower and they'll probably succeed against most who are shit scared and roll over like Southamptom did in the last 15 today. What will be interesting is what they do against the better teams. Personally I think they'll sit back and try to counter with Valencia, Rooney and Van Persie the way they did with Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez. Whether it'll work nobody really knows. Anybody who looks and says "their midfield is weak they can't compete" is being very naive although they're right in saying their midfield is weak don't think for one minute Taggart hasn't got a strategy in mind that will at worst see them there or there abouts in every competition.
Call me a rag if you like, just think it'll be another tight one.
There's not even any such thing as "luck". There's nobody hovering over the stadium with a magic luck wand waving it on certain teams and not others.Blue Tooth said:LoveCity said:People who say the rags won't be that lucky in future can't have been following football long?

The Bish said:Lol. Don't worry blues. Scraped a win there. Total shit. Papering cracks to be honest. Any team with half a backbone that doesn't tense up as half as they did today will beat them..........but to be fair RSVP bailed them out, and well worth the monies

"Luck" is something people blame when things don't go your way and do favour someone else.
It's as real as fate, destiny and the like.
In football, the reality is, someone isn't doing their job properly and others take advantage of that.
Or maybe we just think it's better than playing Carrick at centre half again. Personally I thought Evans played pretty well last season and I also think Smalling could do a job in future. Guess we'll know more about Ferguson's preferred back four when all the defenders are fully fit.AntiUnited said:ElanJo said:AntiUnited said:How shit does there defence even thought there "two top defenders " came bak . not to mention zanadine cleaverly. they will get smashed by any proper team.
