Sorry, I watch Dortmund all the time so my brain was automatically "everyone knows who this is".

Aubameyang, he's obviously fast, you see him run fast all the time but THAT fast I had no idea.
 
Auba is well regarded as one of the fastest players out there.
However, that acceleration does look scary fast! Big debate on there as how fast he is compared to Bolt :D I think they determined he's 82% as fast as Bolt.....whatever that means :p
Wish they did more official stats in football like they do with NFL.
Who has the official fastest 40yrd sprint etc
 
No idea why this was on my FB page this morning.

What's new, Arsenal always have a big injury list :p To be fair it's usually the same people i.e Wilshere, Ramsey and Walcott.

They get on fine, the problem is people like the Secret Footballer or hacks with 'inside info' write whatever pops in to their heads and readers believe it without doing any resaerch of their own -
Fabregas said:
"He is the best coach in the history of the club and the best we can have," Fabregas told Radio Marca.

"Personally, he helped me in a very complicated moment of my career and he gives me confidence.

"I will do whatever he asks. In man-to-man situations he helps me a lot and I respect him for that.

"Mourinho is different in person from when you see him on television. I know because I've experienced it.

"We (Chelsea) are not well, but we will do better. We have the best coach for the club. People have not forgotten that five months ago we won the Premier League and a cup - but we have to change the situation fast and soon."

It's like when people harp on about him 'losing the dressing room' they think that because that's what they want to think, if they were to actually look in to it they'd see that at least 8-9 1st team players have spoken publicly about how good he is and how he's the man to get them out of this mess etc.

Terry ruined Savage in his CL press conference today. Can't seem to find the clip, but this gives an idea:

Start @ 22:25


Terry went on to respond to comments made by former players working in the media of late.

‘I’ve come under criticism individually from certain players, individuals I’ve looked up to and played alongside, and I’ll take that on the chin 100 per cent from the likes of Rio (Ferdinand), (Jamie) Carragher and (Gary) Neville, we’re talking about the very best I’ve come across in the game,’ he explained.

‘I’ll sit there, listen, take it all in and try to improve. I don’t take that in a negative way. When certain other people speak, maybe not, maybe I don’t listen or take it on the chin from players who haven’t had a career or have played at a really bad level and then come for me after what I’ve achieved in my career, Robbie Savage being one. He’s done it a couple of times. I’ll take it all day long from the very best but other people, no.’
