It's basic phonetics. Hans cannit spell for shit but I'm sure knows there's nee n in there just by saying his name.

What's your problem? Why is it such a ridiculous statement? Because Zidane was obviously better. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Why was Zidane better? What does he have over Iniesta apart from the mythical 'aura' and hype machine. Zidane was an elegant player, he was a player who no one could touch. Chosen three times best in the world says everything, IMO. He wouldn't be getting those awards if he was playing during this era, though.

Ronaldinho is the most entertaining players to ever play the game. Even Messi can't come close when it comes to skill/flair, although his goalscoring and outright directness more than make up for it. Clearly never saw Rivellino. twice the player Ronaldinho was. The bloke is 65 - of course we never saw him.

Messi is already well ahead of Zidane at his peak. Always better to judge these things a few years after they've retired anyway. At one point Zidane was the best eva!!!!!, but he wasn't even the best ever Frenchman, before him it was Ronaldo, who's peak was way too short to be considered and after him it was Ronaldinho, who wouldn't get in the top 50. That's a bit much like. Short lived peak, but it was a bloody good peak. He had all the talent to keep going if he wanted to.

Completely agree. I think he's still my favourite player to watch, ever. I like watching Barca now because they're the best team I've ever seen, I watched them back then to see one player.

3 Prem games on telly tomorrow? Get in, I'm gonna have a productive Sunday. Barca on at 10:30am too.

Bit harsh on Cheick that line-up like, christ. He's already had one whole season playing CM on his own...

Statistically maybe, but he wont ever come close to Ronaldo in terms of ability and performances at the biggest stage of all.

Actually, I'd have Ronaldinho just behind those 2 I mentioned. I reckon players feared him at his peak as much as they do the current 'big two'. Atleast those two are cogs in functioning systems, Ronaldinho was sheer unpredictability.

Nah. Iniesta > Zidane.

:lol:

Come on, I've hardly called him shit. His goalscoring record is phemonomenal. Then so was Gerd Muller's, but I've never heard him compared to Pele or Maradona...

He clearly is. But he's a level below Messi and the other Ronaldo for me - who are the 2 best players I've seen in my life. I put him on the same level as Xavi and Iniesta tbh.

Completely agree. I can't believe people are happy with our strike 'force'.

Madrid will win the league like. They are so good but in a weird way not good enough at the same time. They seem to be better at pulverising the weaker sides, has to be said. That might be enough even if they lose the next Clasico. Same as the winners of any league tbh. Only need to look at Man U last season as prime example.

Yep.

Yep. Imagine his on the ball abilities next to Colo, he should die of embarrassment.

Cronaldo back to shafting the rest of La Liga after his chronic display last week. I think the term is flat track bully.

This thread's fun.

No idea why he didn't come on today.

Just go back now. Maaaan that was frustrating. Toothless second half.

As far as I can tell that team is pretty much first choice except for Richards in for Rangel and Routledge for Dyer.
