So, did anyone see Messi's free kick tonight?

There was one from Japan at the World Cup that stood out

Stood out so much I can't remember who took them or who it was against mind

It might have been Honda?

Gratz Kill, you found the *worst* camera angle of that free kick on the internet. You, sir, suck.

It was half 2 or something, I wanted to get into bed and watch some TV. You still saw the goal didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!?!

*sighs* My work is unappreciated.

Looks like the keeper should have been able to gently walk across and stand in the way of that honda goal. What was he doing or is that angle horribly deceptive.

Not sure, from that angle it looks like dodgy keeping but it might be the angle. He scored another, better one if I remember the World Cup correctly.

That Honda goal was insane. I really would love to see him in the Premiership, his work ethic is superb.

Anybody find a link for the Messi goal?

Found a better one.

I wish we had a free kick specialist in our side. He's got a good boot on him RvP but his conversion rate isn't great.

Then there ish no pleaaashing you...

Fabregas perhaps?

Greenlizard0 · 12 Jan 2011 at 09:45

Doesn't convert enough. See if Arshavin could at least take these..

He's linked with a January move to Juventus. Don't see that happening myself.

I'd take the money for Arshavin, he hasn't offered anything for a long time.

jakeke · 12 Jan 2011 at 11:14

Arshavin is awesome, always scores or assists, one of the most dangerous players in the league in terms of end product

Arshavin is having a terrible season.

It was a good freekick but I feel the wall wasn't set up in the right position, if they were shifted to the left (from Messi's perspective) by about a foot, no amount of bend would have get around it.

He has more goals and assists than anybody else in the squad, I'm not sure where people are getting this myth from. He's had a few bad games, but the amount of killer passes he's made this season is astonishing, I think he has the highest amount of key passes in the league. Don't confuse being lazy with having a bad season, he doesn't run as much as most English fans want (me included), but the quality is there.

AGD · 12 Jan 2011 at 14:10

Arshavin definitely drifts in and out of games but he still creates a fair few assists and goals. I wouldn't sell him.

Rec · 13 Jan 2011 at 01:45

it's definitely something I noticed about him when he first signed for Arsenal he makes some great assists.
