Iniesta or Zidane?

[Red_Polo]

Yes, you're right, I was. And I've outlined why I think that's a reasonable hypothesis.

I'd hardly be arguing that my recollection of consistency is a priori better than yours. I realise others might but we both know that's not arguable and I wouldn't do it, just like you wouldn't, even if what I said could be read that way by the less than charitable.

Selective memory cuts both ways Neil. On that basis it was read just as it was - nothing more than patronising guff. Anyway if you're going to start with the thinly veiled insults, I'm out.

[Neil Young]

Come on RP, it wasn't a thinly veiled insult. The only insult here that I can see is that you think I'm asserting my memory is better than yours. I realise it cuts both ways, do you want me to find some examples where I've said that explicitly?

My point was that consistency is one of the hardest criteria to use because we recall highlights rather than detail. You may well not agree but I'd be interested to know why.

[Red_Polo]

If it cuts both ways, it doesn't serve your argument any more than mine. Unless you believe you're immune to selective memory relative to me. Which is exactly why it reads as patronising. That's not the view of someone who is uncharitable, just logical.

Anyway I'm really not interested in going into pages of you chasing your tail, one minute saying yes it furthers your case for Zidane, the next saying you were only making a point about it being a difficult thing to assess. It's too uninteresting and remote from the original discussion, so have it as whichever of those two you will.

Wow, nice.

And wrong. Or illogical, if you prefer.

Thanks for making the effort to understand the point I was trying to make. Not.

He's certainly on the same level IMO. His impact is just diluted because of Messi, and to a lesser extent Xavi and the rest. Zidane was wonderful, magical, but his genius was more apparent because he played in less brilliant sides.

Iniesta is a faultless footballer. As an attacking midfielder he is perfection.

WTF man

Im not sure if your playing up to my Madrid love here...but look at the players he was with at Madrid. Ronaldo, Figo, Beckham, Raul, Morientes and he outshone them all.

That Juve side wasn't to shabby either

[Harv]

I will never consider Zidane as one of the all time greats because IMO he used illegal drugs at Juventus.

Great player but also a cheater IMO of course.

What do you base this opinion on? Hearsay?

You can easily get sued for making slanderous accusations like that...

I didn't say those Real or Juve sides were **** - I said they were less brilliant than Barca and that's exactly what they were.
