would they keep the one big star and add a little star next to it?
 
Wow, Ronaldo was in classic form yesterday... That Man United form. Didn't see his 30 yard bullet, just saw the FK yesterday. :smokin :eek

To those who really play footy and have been playing since a child, isn't Ronaldo's form or his approach when he hits the ball really unorthodox, maybe somewhat wrong? I wish I could bring up the video from that goal yesterday but I'm on my phone.

I've always wanted to ask this but I always forget.
 
I've been playing for about 6 years, but the way he stabs the ball when he hits it is weird. It's easier for me to hit it with the big toe region to make it curl. I've tried doing it the Ronaldo/David Luiz way and mine never really dip

From what I'm told, you can try to place the ball with the valve facing where your toe will meet. That's apparently what helps get the dip...

I can strike the ball like Ronaldo (well as close as I can get) but I usually get better dip when the ball is moving as oppose to a dead ball. It's weird.

Wenger said he could potentially injure himself hitting it that way, back when CR was at United. Although I'm pretty sure it was just after the CL game where Ronaldo scored from about 40 yards from a free kick, so he was just salty I guess :lol
 
So as mentioned yesterday, there were a bunch of scouts from top clubs at Ousmane Dembele's Rennes game yesterday where he really showed out, so much so that apparently even Barca want to sign him soon...

City getting the win this weekend was nice.
That liverpool penalty though ehhhhhhhhhh
United losing
A draw was fitting for Spurs Arsenal.

No real take away for me this week. Leicester's to lose still no Europa no Champions league they can rest and stay focused. I don't see City being so inconsistent climbing into the fight. If i was to bet i think Spurs look the hungriest if Leicester slip up.

Wenger would say some **** like that, while injuries have plagued his squads for years :lol


But I know what you're saying Hegs, Ronnie shoots it way better when the ball is on the move too. He's been missing so many FK's these past few years that I wish some reporter or someone would ask him "why don't you just finesse the ball in? The knuckle or dipped ball isn't always the best choice in certain situations.

Nonetheless, when the ball is moving, he strikes it well - this was classic. Plus he's so acrobatic doing so :lol. If I have a son one day tho, I'll probably tell him to keep it simple :lol

So it seems we're being accused of doping our players :lol :{ :rollin

So the story of Leicesters season has a new chapter

August - Early Days
September - Just carrying on from last season
October - They haven't played anybody decent yet
November - They haven't played anyone decent away yet
December - Pure luck
January - Been lucky with injuries
February- They lost at Arsenal they've blown it
March - They're 5 clear, it's obvious their players are on drugs


:rollin
