yeah that stuff is a good point too - the contradiction of club vs national teams. I will say though that I feel a lot of people don't feel much connection to their national team. I know a guy from Manchester who supports United who said he could never support England because he'd have been...

But I think if someone is genuinely a Barca fan they won't want Messi's PSG to beat Barca without Messi. In that case they're a Messi fan, not a Barca fan. If they originally got into Barca because of Messi and Messi means more to them than Barca, then they're what I describe. Like Catalin and...

Also, probably been a bit harsh on @Temptation constantly referencing his Lewy love when he isn't even online to respond. However, I don't know what it is. I have just never been able to wrap my head around being invested in a footballer off the park as well as on. It's something I am trying to...

Just to address Maradona - that is because I rate him highly as a footballer. If he was playing now I'd love watching him but wouldn't follow him from club to club. Also, my admiration for him is solely as a footballer - I acknowledge what a deeply flawed and abusive, toxic man he was. You will...

He was brilliant, but above Xavi and Iniesta? Come on. I saw that article months ago btw, where he came third in best players of the 21st century. Clearly cos it was by ESPN and he works on American TV. How is he better than Xavi and Iniesta when they ran every game at every level against...

Didn't he once say Lisandro Martinez was a top 5 defender in the world and that he rated Harry Maguire? :lol: You can't trust a word Pep says - he trolls everyone. He once said Nathan Redmond was a great player... Also, the source is bollocks. Sounds like a load of made up pish to me. And even...

To be fair to you, you have criticised him at times. I seen that and noted it a month or so ago (though you seem to be straying into militant defence of him). I am talking about the wider world - many on here have their eyes open on Lewandowski's limitations. But in the outside world, people DO...

I disagree, it is very modern fan to move from club to club as your favourite player moves there. Especially at your age - you are way too old to be fanboying over footballers young enough to be your son - no offence. The original idea of football clubs was to support the club in your local...

Never said there's anything wrong with liking him or rating him. He's a very good striker. But the hysteria around him - as both a footballer and a person - is WAY out of line with his actual ability. His fans on on here treat him like he's the greatest striker ever, had individual trophies...

Also, this is a Barcelona forum. Messi is the greatest player in the club's history. Many people (not all) love Messi because they were originally Barca supporters and drawn to him for what he done for the club. Whereas you are the opposite - a Lewandowski supporter who doesn't give a fuck...

No, there is definitely a cult around Lewandowski. Everyone acts like the sun shines out of his arsehole. Even if there is a cult around Messi, it is well deserved as he's arguably the best player ever, or at least top two with Maradona. Lewandowski is inferior to many many players in history...

All those cunts who mocked anyone like me who said Haaland isn't all that have been looking clueless for ages now. The guy's all around game has always been a tragedy, but now his scoring his fallen off a cliff too. The guy is an absolute donkey of a footballer. I have been proved right again.

What really makes me laugh is idiots call Messi 'Eiberman' etc, as if Lewandowski was scoring against Sacchi's Milan and Michels's Netherlands every week in the Bundesliga... Do we honestly think if Messi had been in Lewa's position - scoring multiple goals in the Bundesliga - people would have...

Made the same point before. When these two played and linked up with Messi and Busquets, that four was unable to be passed off the park. It was just amazing to watch top teams with top players COMPLETELY concede to Barca's superiority and park the bus. Chelsea, Man United and Inter as examples...

I decided to finally vote, and it was Xavi by a hair. They're the two best midfielders I have seen in the last 30 years, though.

Messi did much worse at PSG than Lewandowski did at Barca? Only if you go by goal stats. No Messi didn't 'rob' Lewandowski - he was far better in all metrics of the game except goalscoring. He is, was and always will be an infinitely better footballer than Robert fucking Lewandowski, who isn't...

The people who think this guy was ever better than far more talented players like Benzema and Suarez must be high on glue. It is so obvious that he is absolutely finished for fuck sake and people here are writing essays on how to get the best out of him? IT WILL NOT HAPPEN, EVER. Barca will win...

Two things can be true at once - the players can be poor and Ten Hag can be a mediocre coach. For myself I never said it was one or the other - in my opinion it was both. They should have finished about 15h last season and that is a combination of their poor squad and Erik's moronic tactics and...

@delancey let me give you an example. Antony cost United 80 million, Andy Roberston cost Liverpool £8 million. Even adjusted for inflation, is Antony 10 times better than Robertson at football? No, I would argue the opposite. He's pish and Robertson has been far better. But according to your...

This just isn't true though mate - at all. I notice sometimes you seem fixated with how much teams spend. There's no correlation between how much you pay for players and how good they are. Loads of people in football are clueless and vastly overpay all the time. United are among the worst for...
