Big wow. It was 1-0 when Kirkland made an error for Chelsea to get back in the game... Big wow. Playing with a man down is a bit of a hinderence. You might have noticed following Rangers lately. Blackburn beat Villa today after going 1 man down at 1-1. You really can't blame it on going down to 10 men, considering they werent winning when they had 11 anyway.

They are currently losing 1-0 to Everton, doing everything they can to not score.

He did win the Champion's league, albeit with a helping of luck, and the European Championships - has to count for something? It doesn't. Playing in a better team doesn't make him a better player. But Schmeichel was a better player... Just my opinion ofcourse.

I was talking about, the best partnership I've seen, not nessesarily saying it was the best of all-time. Puskas and Di Stefano by the looks of it were 'the greatest partnership of all-time'. Last week Pele called Di Stefano the greatest player of all time - many including me, think that honor should go to Puskas Ask any of the older bears who were at the European Cup Final in 1960 at Hampden when the 2 of them scored 7 goals between them in a 7-3 win over a Frankfurt side who had beaten us in the semi 12-4 on aggregate lol That Real Madrid team are in a lot of peoples opinion the greatest club side to ever play the game The guy calls the best player of all time a differnt guy every week. I remember when he said Nick Barmby was going to become one of the greatest players of all time, and before you ask "nick who?..."... exactly.

Without a doubt.

REALLY REALLY PEEASH.

Maradona and his shadow.

He did, did he not? He turned around with his arms out to the ref as soon as he hit the floor. He was quite obviously jsut saying sorry. I think he went for the dive, but a milisecond after started it decided what a bad idea it was. Personally, I say keep him for the small teams.

I've only been roaming the internet for about 30 mins today, and already seen this joke 4 times It's not even any good as we all know refs don't play any extra time when Man U are winning... 2x

Barca

Did you jsut read this off the guy above you and take it as factual truth? The internet is a wonderful place!

Can see it 100% on the video but it looks tight! It wasnt the goalie that kicked it to him, it was the guy that tackled the goalie.

No, he is overrated because he is english If you think Rooney is overrated, you're just thick. I think he's under rated. Everyone think's he's shit, I jsut think he's average.

5-2 final score for anyone who's interested. And can the people who voted ROOOOOOONNNEEYYY!!!! over Messi please watch that game.

Depends what half of Glasgow you're from

No, he is overrated because he is english rooney is far from being overrated. That's because everyone knows he's not very good.

nice input dito

Ronaldo is a winger Rooney is a CF. This isn't a Ronaldo vs Rooney thread though. Messi is a winger, that can play upfront. Rooney is a striker that can play on the wing. I would make my decision on where you would play them. If both were to play in their natural position, messi would be the clear winner Imo, you can't compare them if Messi is playing as a winger and Rooney as a striker. They are two different positions. You wouldn't compare a goalkeeper to a central midfielder. That is a poor analogy imo. They are similar enough positions to compare. They are both "fowards". Striker is used to score goals, winger is used to provide chances for the strikers to score goals. Two different positions. A striker is a position?

No offence to some members of this site, but this is why I go to Redcaf for football knowledge that's not Bears orientated

Is the OP baiting? And who's Rooney?

Good to see he might eb able to ignore they way he was treated when he was a player by a good majority of Scotland fans. It was brilliant seeing him win the EUFA cup with Liverpool and winnign MotM after what happened.

Incase you didn't already know, Rangers are a Scottish team.

Far too much hype on a player who could have well easily turned out pretty average.
