Both brilliant and two of my favourite players of the last 20 years. But my brother would say Griezmann easily. He really does not like Eden, lol.

It seems to be going well. I quite like Benfica and I have a friend from Lisbon who supports them, so not really arsed either way who wins the CL tie (though I guess I hope you guys since I post on here). I will probably watch those games. The 5-4 was staggeringly entertaining the other month...

Still going very very well. In the top 0.03 percent in the world. 20th place out of about 74,000. My mate said this: 'Btw, your Superbru PL score is amazing. Now that score is freakish lol. How is it even possible for a non-bot to be so high. Will be good to see where you finish at the end of...

Fair point if that is your criteria, but I would argue leading a decent but not great Argentina to the 86 world cup and nearly doing it again with an awful team in 1990, and winning the UEFA Cup and Serie A (when it was the strongest league ever arguably) with a good but not great Napoli side is...

Lol putting Ronaldo in with those three is ridiculous, mate. What makes him better than Cruyff or Beckenbauer or Platini or Zico etc? Other than the fact those guys are all dead or forgotten in the year 2025 and he's a massive celebrity? You just seen him keeping up with Messi in goalscoring and...

I didn't watch the video, and have no inclination to watch amateur tacticians spout bollocks. All I will say is that Pep's football is the most entertaining football I have ever seen - and I marvelled over brilliant players in the 90s. It's also funny how you are the advocate of all that is...

I know this is Barca forum, but I am still not convinced by Flick. I just don't rate him much as a coach (I don't rate Xavi either before you say that). I think Atletico or Real will win the league and Barca will falter somewhere in the CL too. Hope I am wrong but I tend to take @malvolio's...

Yeah I wrote that wrong, tying myself up in knots now. Was there not another game where Dortmund were leading going to the Bernabeu? That might have been another season. In fact I think I am thinking of the year Lewa scored all those goals (the season before) and then Real won 2-0 in the...

Yeah, just checked official UEFA team sheets and you are right. Usually I make sure I am right when I make a point, even if I am sure I double check it. My apologies for that, to you and to Ronaldo for doing him a disservice.

Yeah I remember the 0-2 was in Bernabeu in second leg. Just could have sworn he was on the pitch that night. But like I say, it's been 11 years.

The guy was an extra terrestrial in terms of football talent. As talented as Messi I'd say, - the only player in history who could realistically claim that (if he was still alive) - though obviously had a worse career all things considered.

You sure? I normally remember most of these things. I could have sworn he played that night, I watched it live but it was 11 years ago. If he didn't then I retract that oversight.

They're not actual 'hardcore' football fans then. They follow football like I follow tennis. They probably have a very rudimentary, superifical knowledge of the game's history and tactics. Not saying I am David Goldblatt either, but I like to think I have researched more than the average bear...

Yeah it was a good spot by me lol. I am quite good at that if I may say so myself - seeing contradictions in people's arguments and pointing them out. I could retort the rest of what you have written, but I already covered it above. Plus I don't wanna argue with you as you are one of the...

I don't necessarily mean Neymar. I know loads of great pro players have zero clue about the history of the game. I am more referring to fans who think they are hardcore football men yet are making excuses about not knowing a famous player like Hagi. Fans don't have Neymar's excuse of dedicating...

And again, Messi has loads of good games where he doesn't score. He has scored fewer CL Finals goals than Ronaldo, but all three of his finals piss all over all 6 of Ronaldo's performance-wise (sans maybe 2017 for Ronaldo). There's also other examples like Messi playing at the Etihad that time...

Lol it's desperate times when you bring up a penalty in a shootout after a game he was abysmal in. Also this is what I am talking about - you are talking up Ronaldo for 2014 final - ffs he was the worst player on the pitch, finally found his bollocks when the game was over in the 120th minute...

True, I was just replying to malvolio. Different position and styles of player but Greenwood much more talented than rashford for me.

Came across this from a decade ago - Neymar not knowing who Gheorge Hagi is Fair enough Neymar is ten years younger than me and couldn't watch the 1994 World Cup live (Hagi's biggest worldwide exposure) like I did, as he was only two, but anyone with the remotest interest in football history...

I get your point, I really do, but excuses like that made for them is what allows the parasitical United players to survive. They know they can play rubbish and people will just blame the coaches, or how rotten the club is. At some point there has to be some accountability for their own...
