I could score 8 goals in 10 games for Barca whilst spinning on my cock.
When you have Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Keita etc giving you service, it'd be impossible not to score a hatful.
Best in the world!? Pfffffft. Torres or Drogba would already be in double figures if they were in that Barca side.
By that theory then, Messi is RUBBISH, yes?
Same goes for the likes of Kaka, Benzema, Ribery and all the other overrated players kids are obsessed with because they are good on Fifa.
Y'know what, i do actually think Messi is pretty average

I'm sure you are all fishing, but
You can find stats to back up any argument.
If Messi played for an English club it would be at the level of Wigan or Everton at best.
I think (and someone might be able to confirm) that Ibrahimovic has won a championship winners medal in the last SEVEN consecutive seasons. Coincidence? Er, no.
Why so quick to dismiss coincidence?
Then again a lot of the English media did decide that Messi was average when he didn't perform against Chelsea last season, so anything's possible.
