Sandro

No one cares.

Fucking hell, Drogba what a free-kick. So close.

Was terrible against Porto even if only played 30 minutes or so. Terrible first touch, looked clueless in the middle of the park.

How? Wigan and Blackpool keep their leads and Blackpool win, the gap is four points. It would things a bit uncomfortable for us. A lot of Blackpools I see.

I fully agree with you that Messi is not a complete player, but by that line of reasoning, neither were Zidane. If Messi lack what you describe then surely Zidane must lack the pace/agression/goalscoring virtues that messi possess? Not trying to be clever or anything just genuinly want you to elaborate on what you think constitutes being a "complete player"? Maradona was never a complete player either ffs. Could he head the ball? Could he score with his both feet? Maradona had an immense technical ability but calling him complete is an overstatement. Pele was complete, Pele could do just about everything there is in football, also he stopped a war, won 3 WC, 32 career titles, scored 1000+ goals, and above all this man had no referee to protect him. He was physically raped every single match, but he stood up and kept on playing except in 66 when he got enough. With that said, Messi ranks behind all of these until he wins and does more, but theres no doubt he's the best of this generation.

IMO Zidane wasn't better than Zico. Agreed, and not because I'm Brazilian, I'm actually a huge fan of Zidane. But Zico was just deadly from anywhere. He was an attacking midfielder who scored goals for fun. He finished 2nd in the top scorer behind Platini in his first season in the Serie A but played about 5 games less than Platini in that season too. He helped Udinese grow as a club. A playmaker who would score goals all day long, after all in his first season he scored 19 in 24 for Udinese while Maradona scored 14 in 30 for Napoli. Not comparing them two, but says a lot about his goalscoring abilities. Not once did Maradona score more league goals in the Serie A or La Liga than Zico did in his first season in the Serie A. Also Zico scored 52 goals in the national team in 72 matches. Maradona scored 34 in 91. Zico is very underrated for a single reason, never won the World Cup and same will go for Messi. He better win it if he wants to be remembered up there with the greats. Messi needs it to at least be close to earn the same respect as Diego Armando Maradona earned in Argentina.

Agreed. Pele, Maradona, Best, Eusebio, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Puskas, Garrincha, Zico were just immense players who were much better than their opponents. Zidane was very good, but not to that extent as these guys really, however I have no problem having him mentioned with these guys as Zidane is the best player of the last generation. And the next person who says 'But Zidane/Ronaldo/Messi would be so much better if they played back then.' Should just give up.

I'd rather us sign Sturridge.

Harsh Figueroa and McCarthy are good. McCarthy is good sure, but not yet there. And Figueroa is ok. Would still be deadlast without NZogbia and Rodallega.

That last smily didn't fit in. Sorry.

He shall be signed by NUFC

Falcao. Crazy.

If he heard that he'd kill himself. White-ass name.

Falcao close to a 4th there. Porto should be careful, would suck to concede a second at home.

Helton WTF was he doing there?

what is his obsession with having his name printed on everything? Because he has the coolest name in the world, coolio.

Rodallega and N'Zogbia are the two only players in that team who do anything. If it weren't for them they'd be dead last.

wonder how much it would take. hulk looks to have improved massively, when i saw him a few years back he was quite unimpressive. Really exploded into life this season. Been one of the better players in that league for couple of years, but him and Falcao are just dominating everything this season. And he's only 24 too.

Villarreal coach really lost the plot when he took out Borja and Nilmar. Hulk has been immense and Falcao even better.

One of the worst attempt ever of playing the other team offside. Terrible defending.

Falcao! Hahahaha, fuck me!

He's shit.

This really.
