    14 - Javier Mascherano

    His attitude is great, though if you want to stop conceding goals from set pieces/crosses you probably don't want to persist with a 5ft nothing centre half. He could definitely do a job in midfield, mind.

    And palacio? His expulsion is nothing to do with talent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Every need. Edit: Unless we drop points at Elche.

    Manchester City

    Barry can't be on £100k surely? Everton won't pay more than £40ish I wouldn't have thought. Milner definitely though, I'm a Villa fan and I think we offered him 75 to stay.

    Premier League 2013/14

    Bit harsh. They've just done what Chelsea did years ago, yet they get punished.

    Champions League 2013/2014

    What would concern me is that it essentially proves it isn't about individuals. We could buy the best centre backs in the world, its the style of play that leaves defenders exposed. The one thing it would help is from set pieces. edit: Can't find the quote, was in response to Richard.H...

    Champions League 2013/2014

    Xavi > Kroos, Iniesta > Ribery, Busquets > Schweinsteiger, Messi > Robben (lol). Pep trying to break down a brilliant counter attacking side by playing the same way Barca do with inferior players. Was never going to happen. Almost converted to Tata tactics after half time, despite taking off...

    Champions League 2013/2014

    As annoying as it is that its Real Madrid, it does mildly amuse me that Bayern, a year on supposedly "dominating Europe" are now getting a taste of their own medicine.

    Daniel Alves

    So is it acceptable in Holland? He'd been playing there for years, not like he'd just turned up in England from Uruguay. He should have known better.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    You claimed that he 'goes into his shell' and "He's playing shite because when he isn't being used as he thinks he should be (by the Coach and Teammates)". He isn't the manager. He plays in the position he is told to play and, for the the money he's paid, should be putting a shift in, whether...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Sacrificing this season? That's excellent for us. What happens if he goes all out in the first game of the WC, gets an injury and is out for 6 months? Is it worth it then? Attempting to save yourself is pointless, unless you play at 100% you're more likely to get injured.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I can promise you that isn't the case with me. I'm primarily an Aston Villa fan, and so far our club has had to put up with 10 home defeats out of 16 so far this season. I see embarrassing statements on this forum after 1 defeat in 20. Barca fans have been treated to the best generation of...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Since when has any player in the world ever been able to pick his manager or his teammates. I know you aren't advocating it, I'm just asking the question.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Are you Barca fans or Messi fans? The club don't pay him extortionate wages to 'save himself for the world cup'. That's an absolutely embarrassing statement.

    Not for me, I'm rooting against him because he's from Argentina, I'm from England and they're cheats. :)

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Absolutely. I'm not sitting here blaming all the clubs problems on him. The way we are currently playing doesn't help any of our players, least of all Messi. I'm not sure who in their right mind would decide that the best form of attack is for the full backs to cross the ball to 5ft forwards...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Absolutely. The number of times the ball goes out to the wing and the winger runs at the full back, looking for options, you see Messi stood motionless between the centre half and midfielder. When he gets on the ball, more often than not he's brilliant and makes things happen. The best player...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    If he won the WC this summer, he could retire the next day and be considered the best player to have played the game. That is all he has left to win, so rightly or wrongly, you get the feeling that is his focus. I wouldn't buy this 'isn't fully fit' line, he's been playing regular football for...
