    Not sure I think that's slowly becoming myth. last year out of Messi's 91 goals both them together only assisted him 10 times. They do help Messi but him as an individual is unbelievable really he scores some great goals and is the major reason behind Barca success. At the minute he's proving why he's the best in the world doing it for club and country. Last year he scored 12 goals in nine games for his national time and i think he's joint top scorer in the South America qualification group.

    I'm not denying his greatness, but the team matters a lot. Maradonna was and is the only one who is a one man team.

    Hmm i doubt that. I admit i haven't seen Maradona in action that much, mostly because i wasn't even born when he played. But from what i have seen and heard, i guess Messi is at least just as good as Maradona.

    Well, a lot of strikers aren't much without midfielders and other players to back them up. Messi is one the rare exceptions though.

    Nigel Adkins sacked! What on earth? That makes even less sense than Chelsea's dismissal of Di Matteo! What a ruthless business football can be.

    What! that is a very big surprise! back to back promotion 3 points clear of the drop and after that result against Chelsea in your first season back at the top to get the sack doesn't make sense. I think they just made a very deadly mistake one that they won't recover from, I can see them going down now after all it took a couple of months for them to get used to the premier league and by the time a new manager comes in puts in place his style of play and maybe bed the players they get this window it maybe just to late. Sadly a stupid decision I feel that will cost them and they have no one to blame but themselves.

    Also sky sources claim Walcott agreed to a new deal at Arsenal, bout time though I think he's still not going to be the big player Arsenal need

    With managers of teams like that, he'll probably go to something like Norwich.

    I dunno how bad that guy was doing as a manager, but clubs seem to fire their managers awfully fast these days. Like Di Matteo of Chelsea. He won the Champions League last season and was fired because of dissapointing results in the next run. Sure they can't prolong their title but they can still try to do well in the cup matches and competition?

    Just a question for all of you: Which clubs do you think will win the leagues? My guesses are Manchester Utd in England, Barcelona in Spain, Bayern in Germany, Juventus in Italy, and PSV in Holland. Most leagues aren't as exciting as last year, for example in Spain and Germany where Barca and Bayern are comfortably in the lead position. Same goes (kinda) for the Premier League. The Dutch and French leagues are pretty close still, though. So who do you think will win?

    Completely out of the blue and at a really strange time too. If the Southampton board was going to sack him, it should of been a while back when they were letting in goals left, right and center! Atkins was their best hope for survival after putting in some good results in recent weeks. This is almost comical.

    Pretty much all your predictions are what i predict too though I think Man City may win the title instead seven points is still an achievable gap. I think PSG will jut scrap it and win the French league though I wouldn't be surprised if Lyon pull through. I think Benfica will win in Portugal and I know its obvious but Celtic to win the SPL.

    And though its prob pointless to almost everyone else but I see Clifonville to win the Northern Ireland league, just felt I should include my local league

    It was unbelievable. Three strikers in front of the goalkeeper barely 3 meters from the goalline and they STILL can't score the damn goal! One of the players received a red card and smashed his hand through a glass window. He's in the hospital now. But damn... We were in first place and lost 1-3 to the 14th ranked team. If PSV keeps up this performance they can forget about the championship.

    I guess Real Sociedad read my comments about Barcelona in here, so they gained self-confidence and beat Barcelona 3-2.

    Too bad for them though to add insult to injury Erik Pieterscut himself after punching a window after being sent off and on his return to action after nine months out.

    Yeah. I can understand why he did it, but it wasn't very smart. Oh well, Vitesse lost and Twente played 0-0 against RKC so PSV didn't fall behind too much.
