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...

Ok Birdy, that was an overreaction originally - I apologise and deleted the post. I still maintain though that you have a know-it-all air and that it wasn't fair of you to try to devalue my opinion with the anti-United stuff, especially when they have only proved me right every step of the way...

In fact, forget it - sick of your know-it-all attitude towards other posters and you have really pissed me off saying my judgement is clouded because I hate United (when actually I have been proved right every step of the way). Putting you on ignore for now.

How does it 'cloud my judgement' when I have been right every step of the way about United in the last 10 years? If they were good I would say so, like I did in ferguson's day. There's no ulterior motive - when I rate their players I say so, when I don't I do. I rate a few of their players but...

I don't know what Birdy sees in this guy - I have watched him most weeks since 2016 and he's an absolute nothing player. The amount he gets talked about you'd think he was Messi, though. Poor first touch, poor technically, only good at running in behind high lines or cutting in and shooting...

The problem is most of his goals come on the counter-attack and he's poor against a low block. Also, praising Rashford for his goalscoring is a dangerous game as he's a moments player and generally hides his total anonymity with one moment in a game. Barca tend to play against low blocks so...

Yeah he likely wasn't as good as Pele - that's probably romanticism. But he probably was better to watch in many ways. Yeah Best and Garrincha wouldmove higher if it comes to pure talent, and less about longevity etc. I tend to think longevity is overrated and a very modern thing anyway - a lot...

2nd anniversary of becoming a world champion.

Yeah lots of these players fit into different styles of playing, such is their genius. Pirlo as a deep-lying playmaker maybe. You could consider Beckenbauer as he was a libero and controlled games from deeper. But likely goes more in defenders. Get Jammy back (the other Jam) and we can have...

Didi (Brazilian midfielder) is a good one for generals but before all of our time. Gerson is another and he was a little later. Rijkaard another good one if you consider him a general. Or Gullit even if you consider him that type.

A possible top 10 for me: 1) Messi/Maradona 3) Pele 4) Cruyff 5) Di Stefano 6) R9 7) Beckenbauer 8) Platini 9) Cristiano Ronaldo (I'd have him lower on talent but hard to ignore his accomplishments) 10) Zico or Van Basten It could change every day. Feel bad relegating the likes of Puskas...
