Lionel Messi

[Steesafc]

Has a double for Barca tonight to make him the record goalscorer in the history of the Spanish Primera division.

Beating the record of Telmo Zarra (251 goals), who was pretty much a goal a game striker for Athletic Bilbao in the 40's and 50's.

Love Messi or hate him, to break that record at the age of 27 is phenominal.

Make that a hat-trick for him!

Whatever record he breaks. He still isn't as good as C Ronaldo.

Both exceptional players that we're very lucky to witness play in the same generation. The whole who is better thing is boring as fuck, both should be appreciated for their own individual achievements because in any other generation they'd be the best player by a distance.

He's nee Jozy

Yes apart from all those numerous records and awards Messi has won instead of Ronaldo he isn't as good. Let's just face it your boy Ronnie is forever in Messi's shadow

Please
Both are clear the best 2 in the world and to say one is better than the other is down to opinion. There's not much between them and to say one is in the other ones shadow makes you look stupid.

Starting to hate the pair of them, every thread about them ends up with the same argument!

I prefer the Ronaldo threads. Much better.

The fella who held the record before Messi played fewer games which is phenomenal considering the rate messi has banged them in.

That's not their fault They aren't logged on here arguing (I don't think)

Not as good as the Messi threads back in the day but at the moment Ronaldo's threads are the best due to the Messi threads not being quite as good as they were.

An incredible player, lucky to be able to watch him every week

I reckon the threads in the 70s were better. Much more difficulty in getting online. Threads today have it too easy.

They're @SAFC 2012 and @Fabulous Falcao iirc.

Did they not play 2-3-5 then?!

No doubts

Yeah but those threads from the 70s wouldn't be able to do it on modern day forums. The Internet speed is much faster etc.

 

[Craggsy-SAFC]

Messi > Ronaldo IMO

 

[nelford_safc]

Has anyone mentioned Messi not proving himself in the prem yet? Cos I have to admit, can't see Messi scoring against Burnley

 

[SAFC 2012]

They're @SAFC 2012 and @Fabulous Falcao iirc.

Im not getting involved
