Excellent work from Aguero to lay it for Balotelli. Drew the entire Everton defense there...

Because it contained foul language. But since you brought this up. Who is Young anyways? Where was he all these years? (he is 26 mind you) No England caps until very recently, no fuss around his name whatsoever. He is utilized as a system player by SAF, has a few good games against mediocre...

Well there is nothing wrong with comparing leagues if you ask me, and the EPL is the strongest atm. But the arrogance, hyperbole and ignorance of its fans is more than shocking.

Yes, but you forget that the even more excellent Rafael owns all and sundry when it comes to the RB position.

You have never seen Aguero play (until he took the EPL by storm) and then you want to claim knowledge and authority in a forum that deals extensively with Spanish football. Then you accuse others of being inane. WTF?

You have named 5 players that play for 2 teams in order to maintain that the EPL has great players outside the top teams. Both those teams are former top 4 teams (pool and spurs) and one of them will return there this season. But now, let's take the players you have summoned one by one...

what is it with the basketball analogies? Let's be serious.

The off-side trap!!! Just: :rofl1: That's a reply on its own to all those who complain about the state of football today.

Let's simplify things Moose. If you had to choose between Messi and Rooney, who would you pick to be on your side?

With a full squad and at peak condition, that is a very real prospect.

They are not merely comparing...they are either implying or openly stating that Rooney is better than Messi. As they were doing two seasons ago.

Because there were suggestions that he is better, more complete and the like. Have you missed what Fowler said?

Probably the best post I have seen on this forum. Brief, clear and absolutely correct. The final line of argument presented here in the form of Huddlestone and Xavi is exactly what I had in mind as well, but the choice of players is simply brilliant in making the point. Well done.

Rooney is exceptional, but he is no Messi. This is just something that you have to accept.

Agreed. I was just replying to another poster that posed the question of the possibility that Xavi would have been out of that game.

I would agree that he is complete, probably the most complete player today. But that is very different from being the best. You can have knives, pistols, machine guns and mortars in your arsenal, but the other guy may have a nuclear bomb.

Got obliterated? By whom exactly? By you and Meta? The most loyal United fanboys to have ever typed a sentence?

Then he is retarded and should never speak of football again. By Royal degree.

Not a terrible argument that one. He did not play shit, but had 1/5th the impact he had in the other games against horrible teams if we are being honest. He is an amazing player, but the tendency of Mancunians to hype him at slightest conceivable opening as the best in the world really makes one...
