SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Who wouldn't look awkward with Messi running at them to be fair? Oh sorry yeah apparently he's just in a good team...hmmmmph Why do you always misquote everything? I believe the conversation was that he wouldn't look as good in a team that didn't have all the midfielders feeding him the ball in all the right places. He's obviously a talented lad, but we were talking about whether he was the best in the world. I think there are far better players. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'd enjoy finishing above the chicken botherers this seasons. We ain't getting close to the play offs just just having a good run, playing some entertaining football and giving a couple of the kids a run out will do for me. Quote

You do But for 3 years on the run he was voted by professionals, coaches and involved media as the best of the best. In fairness some votes are political, however: I'd give it you I you just said Ronaldo is better But "there are far better players" implies 2 things: There are a number of better players And they are much better Both are complete bollocks I'm beginning to think you are either menkul, or just difficult for the sake of it Or both Quote

Sweep Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Go on Snoopster. Such as who? Gonzalo Higuain Quote
DazBob Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Gonzalo Higuain Well, that's obvs. I meant apart from him and CR7. Quote
frank_spencer Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Well, that's obvs. I meant apart from him and CR7.Zlatan? Does being batshit mental get you bonus points? Quote
gonzo Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Had my dinner with Steve Thompson on Tuesday. He's very bitter about the way it ended at Blackpool. Got few irons in the fire including Fleetwood town. Just enjoying his time with the family for now. He Loves Bolton. Quote
Zico Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Zlatan - very good, top 5, but better than Messi? Thinking not well, skill wise, they as good as each other going off honours, goals etc- messi has 2 CL titles where he scored in the finals neither have done much at a world cup Quote
Carlos Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 In this country, Zlatan before Messi. He's perfectly suited to the Spanish game where people don't tackle. Quote

In no way does it imply more than two. Edited March 13, 2014 by MalcolmW Quote
Traf Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Messi? CR7? This kid will do for me. Cracking pass to him, too. Who was it? Quote

Zico Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 In this country, Zlatan before Messi. He's perfectly suited to the Spanish game where people don't tackle. if we use stats for a moment: http://www.whoscored.com/Statistics the highest tackles per game on average by a PL team this season is Palace with 22.3 per game, Liverpool 2nd with 22.1 A Madrid, A Bilbao, C Vigo, Espanyol, Malaga and Valencia all average more 5 of the 7 lowest tacklers across Europe are in the PL - Cardiff, Fulham, West Ham, Norwich, & Swansea Bayern Munich are actually the second lowest which was a surprise #malcolmw i think it's more a case of they can't tackle him cos he's a tricky fucker Quote
Carlos Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When I say tackle, I mean tackle properly and challenge for the ball. Whereas in Spain, the moment you go near them they are over for the free kick and waving an imaginery yellow card in the air. Quote
Zico Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 i think that's what the stats are on about too, but they don't clarify here's a good video "Lionel Messi - Dirty Tackles" (takes about 30 seconds to get going) and in the interests of fairness "Lionel Messi Diving, Being a cunt" Quote
Casino Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Messi? CR7? This kid will do for me. have we all seen his effort for motherwell in case you've not, this is some hoof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byK2oBB_ucQ Quote
