Lionel Messi

[Steveapps71]

2 goals tonight makes him Barca leading goalscorer of all time
he could make it into our squad probably!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He's no Dagger.

 

[Art Vs Science]

.................with only 8 years at the top end of his career left......he has scraped it.

 

[Weststander]

And has beaten the relentless thuggery of the likes of Marcelo, Cavalho, Pepe; and similar at most La Liga opponents.

Amazing achivement for the little wizard.

 

[Art Vs Science]

Getting a hat-trick against a 2nd rate tv channel is hardly world class though is it

 

[Big G]

Errrrrr.........after my drunken outburst last time I think I'll say nothing about this guy this time!!!!!!

Here's to sober NSC posting!!!!!!!!

Vicente is the player Messi could have been

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Heres a stat: Fernando Torres (3 in 36), Andy Carroll (5 in 31) and Luis Suarez (10 in 36) have scored as many goals in a combined 103 league matches as Lionel Messi has in 7

 

[Stat Brother]

He'd need to be Gus'ed and a bit of time on the bench first.

 

[Uter]

By my reckoning he has scored in his last 8 games for club and country, winning them all and amassing 20 goals in the process. His scoring sequence is 1, 4, 1, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3.

Hope he gets injured then people might say that he's not interested, his career is over and that it's all in his head. A certain free transfer to the Albion.

 

[perseus]

How could Messi ever play at the Amex?

Ten years to get into the Premier, work our way up to a third place finish (or fourth and qualify), draw Barcelona (long shot) in the league stage of the Champions League, or come second in the league stage and get drawn against Barcelona?

Jesus don't. I can barely contain my excitement about Vicente, even wildly dreaming about this will cause me to explode in a gooey mess.

We already have played Barcelona.. don't you remember?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

It shows what a mickey mouse league La Liga is if any striker can score that many goals - the opposition for this last match were Granada for fudge sake! It's like the SPL but with better weather.

That is some stat. Says a lot about LM as well as Torres, Carroll & Suarez.

You clearly didn't see Bilbao absolutely THUMP the best English team last week....

Ah yes Athletic Club Bilbao....who last won La Liga in the 83/84 season.

I'm confused? So you're saying they're a poor team in what you call a Mickey Mouse league, yet they can thump the best (or certainly one of the best) team in England? What does that make the English leagues then?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Lionel Messi is the best player in the world at the moment, but if he doesn't win a World Cup in his career. Like the great Pele or Maradona did, yes I did say Maradona. Then he will never be called one of the greatest players in the world. IMHO.
