I raise a point and you come back with a "witty" smb response.
:eek: I never saw that coming.

Youve done nout but talk shite ffs, youve seen video footage

If youve concluded di stefano and puskas were btter than messi by watching videos of the quality they are in then youre easily pleased

You looked at there goal records and decided didnt you?

It's about differing opinions its a forum you f***ing numpty.

Oh yeah because i was going on goals scored that the conclusion I'd come to because messi's scoring record is shite :roll:

Funnily enough, I'm coaching a group of 9/10 year olds at the weekend at present and one of them is Argentinian.

I speak to his dad regularly after the sessions and only the other day asked him who was better in his opinion. Messi or Maradona?

He didn't even think about it. 'Diego....easy. Almost single handedly won leagues and cups in Europe and Internationally.'

For mine, I still say Maradona edges it, but let's face it, both outstanding talents that we are fortunate enough to have been able to see.

Messi will stay at Barca for the rest of his career. So we can never know if he could win leagues, cups etc by himself. In my opinion Messi is the better player.
 
There are many great players in history and both Messi and Best come in the category but there are far less I would put in contention to be the greatest of all time. Messi would be in contention but in my opinion Best wouldn't.

Fair enough
 
True but he may well have been ordinary without the drugs, remember that goal against England when he went on that so called fantastic run, I'm convinced that goal would never have happened without drugs. A total cheat who i don't recognise as a superstar and never will. Just like Lance Armstrong if you like.

You are off your tits.

Been whooshed to fuck here haven't I.

Can some of these old timers tell me how many full 90 minutes games they seen Best play in please?

Over the past 5 year I guess someone could have watched Messi at least 250 times live with his every move covered by 10 different cameras,, everything good and bad thing he does annalisyed over and over again. The olden day football never had to put up with that sort of scrutiny thus you only tend to remember the good bits or the compilations knocked up on youtube

And for the poster who said Messi would not have hacked it in Manchester in the 60's. Its bordering on madness to suggest that imo

Fully agree
 
Everything was different about the game in the sixties. Messi would have not got the protection from referees he gets today and the pitches were far worse in those days. The football has changed significantly as well.
Best could do it all, two footed, tackle and head the ball and in those days the good players were more evenly spread around the league.
Has to be GB for me.
 
I'm too young to have seen Best play but from growing up watching games on TV and live the best players of my generation in my opinion are Platini, Laudrup, Zidane, Messi, Ronaldo, Fat Ronaldo, Hagi, Stoichkov and Baggio - all unbelievable footballers but Maradona trumped the lot of them
