  1. But it wasn’t. Taking 3 points while underperforming is what has won the scum a few titles. Sometimes you just need to take the win
  2. I’m not ruling it out, Messi is one of the greats for sure but I’m just a Maradona fan. I think he virtually won WC86 by himself. Messi was great this year but others played a big part ,like the goalkeeper who was just about as vital to the win as Messi. Maradona also took a Napoli team who had won almost nothing in their history to 2 titles. Messi was the top man at Barcelona but they were already a huge side.
  3. Bollocks. Messi has been at the top for longer but I haven’t seen him do anything Maradona couldn’t do. Can’t rule out Pele either and they done it when gifted players didn’t have the protection from refs they get today.
  4. You may want to read this if you think the Falklands go against Argentina https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17256975
  5. Smaller than us yet produce players we can only dream of these days. It just proves it’s not about population size but all about skilful players not developing in the thuggish hoof ball that passes for a game in Scotland.
  6. Fuck off. If you think those cunts will have only one shot at goal in a whole match against us you’re fucking delirious.
  7. Wouldnt make any difference anyway. The only way he’d be that far off his line at a corner was if somebody picked him up and threw him.
  8. We need defenders to sort the defence. Two midfielders and an out of position kid isn’t going to cut it
  9. Any reason we have no centre half on the pitch but have one on the bench?
  10. No argument Messi is an all time great. Mbappe could be. I don’t think Ronaldo would be in that category if he hadn’t joined Madrid so what Mbappe does next could decide whether he achieves that. If in 10 or 12 years it turns out he has joined a Madrid or Barcelona and won multiple champions leagues , world cups and scored hundreds of goals would he not be up there ?
  11. A World Cup winner , possibly twice, by 23 and his achievements are nowhere near. Not how I see it
  12. Probably not but he could win several before that age. Plus as I said already I don’t think Messi has been exceptional this tournament. Yes I agree he is one of the greatest but not necessarily “the greatest”.
  13. I think MBappe would have done the same if he had joined Madrid.
  14. My whole point. He has the potential to be one of the greats. I get the Messi thing and said already he is exceptional but I think it’s hard to compare players from different eras and continents. Players from less recent times achieved what they did despite thug defenders kicking them all over the pitch. These days they get far more protection to showcase their skills.
  15. MBappe is scoring at a faster rate than Ronaldo at his age. Who’s to say what he will achieve over the years . In a week he could have 2 World Cup winners medals at 23 years old.Sure the French league isn’t the top but it’s still considered in the big 5 and it’s hardly the spl. Come back to me in 15 years and we’ll compare records
  16. MBappe is more of a Ronaldo type player than a Messi type so if Ronaldo can be considered in the running for greatness then no reason MBappe can’t
  17. Possibly. Too early to say as nobody knows what MBappe will do over the next 10 to 12 years.
  18. Anyway I’m off to bed. Been working all night and need some sleep
  19. Better at scoring yes, better all round probably not. Ps I have no idea what zoomed or TikTok is. Simple internet is as far as I go.
  20. I’m not convinced Messi was many peoples pick for beat player in history back then. As I said I think he is exceptional but not unique. I’m still voting for Maradona
