Machine.

Since he returned from the ban he is only 4 shy of Messi in terms of the G&A combined. Messi who is deemed the greatest ever - Suarez for the past 3 years is almost on a par with him.

Oh and has anyone ever mentioned it......he is NEVER injured.

When you take into account he was out so long and it took a little bit for him and Messi to start clicking together....

I think it was about 7 or 8 games before he got his first goal also and added to that another mad stat is that only 3 players have ever got 40 or more goals in a season for Barca - Messi, Ronaldo and now Suarez. He has also got more goals at this stage of the season than Messi has when he got almost 70.

The mancs at work don't like the fact I use the phrase real ronaldo (probably more the use of fake ronaldo)

How **** is the rest of the league for players like that to be putting up those numbers each season?

I don't think La Liga is that '****' - the players are just that good! He was doing the same for us 'that' season and he tailed off a bit at the end. Suarez is also ripping up the Champs League. If Barca were an EPL club they'd do the same here I reckon.

Another factor is the 3 of them are never rested, they play virtually every game so that helps their relationship and stats. They are getting to the business end of the season now so lets see if he keeps it up.

Have to say this is true to a certain extent. Would be interesting to see the stats for MSN against say the traditional top 6 teams and then against the bottom 6.

That said I think those 3 would score goals anywhere but not sure the stats would be so spectacular.

I agree that the bottom teams in La Liga are pretty **** (but not worse than Villa, Sunderland, Norwich etc) and I had a glance at how they are doing in the champs league - the three of them are on average at least a goal or assist per game but their group mightn't have been that hard. I don't think we can doubt Messi in terms of getting goals in all games regardless of opponent and in fairness he has got hat-tricks in the Classico, goals in the finals of the Champs League etc.

It's just great that we get to see them and the mad thing with Suarez is that he seems to be getting better (at 29) and he looks like he has plenty of years left in him. We'll see how they go in the big games for the rest of the season starting tonight.

I saw this when looking - it was all of Suarez's goals for Barca up to a month ago:

If it's about the league, then i'd imagine there are loads of other strikers that score over 20 goals each season in that league, which is a top return in the Prem, no idea if this would be right or not, but if it's the league that's ****, there should be plenty on over 20 goals, understand everything is relative, and they don't all play for Barca, but goals should be easy to come by for any half decent striker.
