Very very good !!

I think that Yaya Toure is a better player than Messi or Ronaldo as he is a more versatile player but they get the accolades as they score more goals...to each their own...

Regarding Giggs, Maldini and Totti...all very good players and one team their entire careers...never went out of their comfort zone so we never know how good or otherwise they would have been against different opposition...

Difficult to compare across generations as the pace of the game has changed...

To compare to cricket, I don't think that Bradman was the best of all time...only played in England and Australia and most of his test innings were against England...greatness is about testing yourself in all conditions against all opposition and still being able to maintain an exceptionally high level of performance...

You entitled to your opinion just as I am to mine...neither are right or wrong as there is no way of knowing independently with certainty...

Ya Ya Toure better than Messi ?????
It's taken me ten minutes to reply,I've been pissing myself with laughter..

Glad to have made you laugh...your opinion of a great player and mine differ and I'm fine with that...I get nothing from any of them so not bothered that you find mirth in my opinion...
Enjoy the football whoever (players or teams) you may support...

I didn't notice him either but that doesn't make him any less of a player...there are times when all players have lulls...I remember Messi having a similar spell not too long ago and there were all sorts of excuses as to why...

In the whole scheme of things, they are just football players...nothing more, nothing less...

unfortunately I cannot comment on last nights match as I was watching Juventus tear Dortmund a new arse hole. What a performance by a team playing in the useless Italian league. :lol:

PSG 10 men for 92 minutes at home and you still go out.

Bradford City in league 2 at home and you got thumped. So a bit rich suggesting that Dortmund are only 10th in the best league in Europe

Correct,but you forgot to mention league cup winners and Soon to be PL winners..
And we won those fairly,no little backhanders for the refs..
Most corrupt team,league and officials in the history of European football,that is the team you support.
Am I wrong chicken?

I definitely wont say that you are wrong, but that was some years back. New players, new owners, reshaped stadium. Now lets talk about Chelsea. How did the owner get all of his money? A coach that eye gouges another person whilst standing behind his bodyguard. A captain who bangs his team mates partner and lets not forget what happened at Loftus Road re Anton Ferdinand. A team that dives looking to win matches at any cost. A team that surrounds the ref trying to get other players sent off. Classy club.

All unsavoury,not sure about your Abramovich slur.Who knows how he got rich.
The others were and it's not an excuse,were heat of the moment.
Your club went out to buy titles and they succeeded.
