Sol the second fastest player? :shock: :? Yeah right - only if it's in a race to scoff down food (Kolo obviously wins that one!! :lol: ).

Next thing you'll be telling us is that Mrgnu has the longest penis of all forum users - including ds!!! :shock: :roll: :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

top speed dont mean shit - how quick are they over 10, 15, and 30 meters, acelaration gets you to the ball first and i would bet my house theo is the quickest over 15 meters

I think you'll find that it's not mph, it's minutes to get injured. Undoubtedly Theo is the quickest!! 8) :lol:

Perhaps it is a mistake and it's actually Fraizer Campbell at Sunderland, I think he is quite fast.

possibly extrapolated from quick movements over short distances
(which is meaningless - over those short distances reaction time is everything)

maybe Walcott should run for us in 2012
