MrDuck Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Messi has scored more hat tricks this season than Torres and Carroll have scored goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Martinez talks a lot of sense. Yet his teams are shite. Created a successful Swansea side that he got promoted and was then the basis for a second promotion to the Premier League. Keeps one of the smallest, lowest budget teams in the Premier League 2 years running. Not sure how you define those teams as shite? He's no Mourinho but relatively speaking he has done incredibly well with the resources available to him imo. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Martinez talks a lot of sense. Better pundit than manager ;-) Certainly a big improvement on Paul Ince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Martinez talks a lot of sense. Better pundit than manager ;-) Not sure what this is based on, he lead Swansea to a higher level than they had ever played at. At Wigan he has maintained their place at the top table despite having no money and no supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2012 I dont get people, everyone watches him score 5 goals 4 of them were world class and after about 2 minutes of dust settling the first maradona comments come out, then the hes nothing till hes won the WC, then the hes nothing till hes played in the prem and then finally hed be average at stoke Easily the best player of my generation, hes 24 FFS its crazy to think what records he could end up with, CL record scorer and winner, la liga scorer maybe even european top league scorer But because he didnt have money problems and have to move to napoli and win them the league he wont be the best ever? Bore off And FWIW i dont think he'll ever even come close to leaving barca, him, iniesta, fabregas, pique etc will all finish there unless something crazy happens That's what I was hearing from a guy on facebook last night! He's not as good as Maradonna because he plays for a great team. h'es never won Serie A with an average team. What?! What kind of argument is that? No he doesn't play for an average team, he plays for one of the best club sides of all time (arguably) and is STILL head and shoulders above his teammates It's not like he's a big fish in a small pond, he's a big fish in a **** huge pond and he's consistently raping all the other fish.

Voinjama Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 All the x players and some current ones are saying the same thing, the greatest of all time. I think he will improve too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 They're both great players. It's always going to come down to a personal preference. Maradonna still edges it for me but that is probably down to sentiment and the saturation of football on TV today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One being unintentional on the part of the poster What Martinez has done for his 2 previous clubs in their respective situations is nothing short of remarkable. He's a very good manager.

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I must say Simao Sambrosa has just just scored a cracking effort for Besiktas against At. Madrid. Losing 3-1 mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Athletic Bilbao are playing some wonderful football especially considering their football culture is similar to British football.

Great to watch and proves their is some good teams in Spain without top 2 Aren't Athletic considered the 3rd biggest club in Spain?

I think it'san era thing. I'm too young to really remember Maradonna when he wasactually playing.

Imagine Villa only signing Midlanders? Also never relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 They've been incredible. Their second, even though it was offside was magnificently worked and taken. This is probably one of the most enjoyable games I've watched in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
