Why you guys feel like bringing up Buffon everytime someone talks about Casillas is beyond me really. Actually scratch that, it isn't beyond me, it actually reinforces my earlier point about the defense mechanism you guys use as soon as Casillas's name is mentioned :p

Like you wouldn't do the same in our position. It's not your fault you guys have to settle with Chesny. :p

We have Robin Van Persie who is one of the best strikers in Europe, but i don't go off everytime someone mentions any other striker :D

Everyone is mediocre because we have Buffon. That's a fact and you can't blame us Frederique.
meh, the difference between the two isn't as big as you guys make it out to be imo. Sure Buffon on form is better than any other keeper out there, but Casillas is a world class keeper on his own right, he's just unlucky to be playing at the same time as Buffon.

because MANY ignorant (specifically English) fans keep ball-cupping Casillas and dare suggest he is the best in the world.

Fred, if it happens that Ale signs for Arsenal and I hear you criticizing him I will come after you.
DP was great in his time, but i don't want another Arshavin(a player past it, and comes to Arsenal), i very strongly doubt Wenger is really interested in him. I'd be all over it if this was at least 3 years ago, but now.... :p

I don't think that is such a far fetched claim :p

There are certain aspects of the game that I think Buffon is miles ahead of his peers at. Free kicks and one-on-ones. I think we gave up one free kick goal this year but I can't remember the last one scored on him. Also on one-on-ones he always stands up to the last minute. Very few goalies can do this. Only when you get a sneaky SOB like Di Vaio who knows Buffon won't get chipped or beat anywhere but right inside the post, do they score.
