BOF Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2013 why im waiting for Messi to join Villa to prove his greatnessI think the Villa powers that be should use that rationale. HairyHands, get it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah that makes sense. On the Maradonna force issue, my favourites are the people who say "Yeah but you never saw Maradonna play" when they also never saw Maradonna play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting to where it means admitting to being of a ... 'certain vintage' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 And weirdly, lack of success at the world cup seems to be a criticism of Messi's claim to being one of the all time greats, but never seems to be used to criticise Ronaldo. but thats no true before Ronaldo made his debut in 2003, Portugal were a footballing nobody and had only been to 3 world cups the same as Ireland and less than Scotland. Since Ronaldo joined they have qualified for 3 straight World Cups and have got to 2 major tournament semi final and the Euro 2004 final 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongotastic Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Great player. Given the amount of posession City had against us earlier in the season we were very lucky he was injured for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
