Fair play to Messi to be honest, not as good as CR

Ok

Neither as good a footballer as Maradona (although he was also a cheating tw@t). Ronaldo the better of the two for the last couple of seasons but Messi clearly edges it over their entire careers to date imo.

This. Maradona and Pele are a class apart. Don't like messi the cheating little wanker.

Couldn't give a fuck. He isn't Ronaldo and never will be

Thanks for clearing that up

Dear me

In an ideal world where we could choose one for a season long loan I'd go for Ronaldo as he has done it over here before.

 

[Zaragoza]

Has he completed his tax return yet?

Funny as fuck one of them playing in our team, cue the 'They'll not reach double figures in Poyets team' posts.

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!

Class player. One of the top 5 footballers of all time.

You must detest Ronaldo then, as he is ten times the cheat Messi could ever dream to be.
Built like a brick shit house yet spends more time on the floor than my 1 year old nieces.

I've rarely seen a player as talented as Messi protest so little for all the living and fouls that are given against him. And I've never seen his throw a tantrum or have a hissy fit like CR.
