Barca...........

[Baracus]

Maradona and Best where playboys of thier generations. Pele could not get it up. Is Messi someone who goes out on the pull?

[lfcred]

Dont think he is but he has a fit bird!!

he's ****.

Great player of our generation, like a Puskas, Best or a Garrinccha. Not comparable to Pele or Maradona yet. Needs to do a whole heap more than playing against a bunch of part time footballers for 2/3rds of the season. And internationally.

And what league do you suggest he does that in?

You chat about the Spanish league like it's the Scottish or something. You'll be hard pressed to find a better league anywhere, and you definitely won't find one that he can play good teams on a weekly basis.

Tell you what I love the most ...the Messi haters. Saw some idiots on Twitter yesterday ridiculing him, saying he can't play without Xavi and Iniesta practically putting his goals on a plate for him, hence his under performance for Argentina.



One of these people reckons he doesn't deserve to win the Ballon D'Or.....Casillas does

He's the best I've ever seen, there's no debate for me now.

Someone texted into BBC yesterday saying Rooney or Van Persie would score the same amount of goals playing in that Barca side. Both class players, especially Van Persie, but absolutely no where near Messi's standards.

Messi is one of the main reasons why Barca are SO great. Take him out and they arent quite as good. Replace him with Rooney, well....

And who did Pele do it against 90% of the time ?

Pele counted goals in friendlies. And probably training too The daft, impotent sod.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

Didn't Maradona almost single handedly (no pun intended) win Argentina the world cup in 1986?

[Craig_H]

Yes he did. How old are you?

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

I don't like talking about my age.

[Craig_H]

You pansy.

PM me it then, you little wuss.

Romario did the same didn't he? Literally every goal he ever scored no matter what age/competitiveness?

[Craig_H]

If he did, i didnt hear of it.
