  1. Actually enjoyed the moment the goals came. Everyone in their jackets ready to leave the stadium and then we score twice in couple of seconds. Amazing
  2. Tell em' they can't mess with me Mike! I feel like a condition of your release was that you weren't to be left unattended near any god damn fantasy leagues.
  3. Hopefully he'll learn that two strikers is the way to go.
  4. Dani Alves keeps being involved in goals even at Juve. 2nd goal of the season and has two assists as well I think this season.
  5. Everton and Chelsea going out would be great.

    Did Pele ever play in Europe? I'm sorry like but Messi is pissing the game and the standard is well above what Pele played in. I'm not saying he wasn't good, I'm not saying he wasn't great but he's not Messi. I'd argue that Maradona was better than Pele too. Why would Pele play in Europe when Santos was well and truly ahead of every team in the world back then? Not going to argue the rest however, that's up to opinion. I'm not sure what this is code for. Are wishing to buy a pencil? Might be Happy Birthday Thought it was a birthday thread for Ronaldo poster. :lol:

    Nedved? The France Football Balon D'Or? I'm talking about the FIFA one. Even Owen won the Balon d'Or. Wasn't a real thing until it combined with FIFA's. The Balon D'Or was always more prestigious than the FIFA Award. Yeap, hence why FIFA bought the rights for it. Aye it did, but it was also journalists who voted for it, unlike the FIFA one where it's been players and managers. Only players that played in Europe that could win it as well, hence not a real thing. Or are you guys going to suggest Pele never deserved to win it? Honestly, I've no problem with the award but always thought the FIFA one was a fairer representation. Don't think Sheva, Owen, Nedved ever deserved to win it. Shoehorning Pele and Brazil into another debate. I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win it, the point is that the Balon D'Or was and is the more prestigious award, whether you or I or anyone else likes it.

    Are you saying Ronaldo only did it for 3 years? He was the best player on the planet three times despite having a two year injury between two of those. Ridiculous to suggest Henry was something else. Even Rivaldo won a world player of the year. Henry didn't.

    Ronaldo scored 47 goals as a 21 year old in his first season in a new team in a new league. He was the best of the ones you've mentioned, and by a margin. Only Messi is ahead for me in terms of talent. Hmmm... I think you might have missed out on one important piece of information there, fella. That he was playing for Barcelona? No. Sir Bobby?

    I do as well. You summarized it perfectly.

    Romario was great no doubt, but he was not on the same level as Ronaldo which says it all. Romario was better than all of those you mentioned earlier and he wasn't even in the same league as Ronaldo.
