You don't have to ''have heard of it''. Just do what lots on here seem to do and pick a derogatory word for his personality and run with it.Actually if he does behave like that — and I admit it's the first I've heard of it — sometimes that kind of behaviour can be symptomatic of someone knowing they're inferior. And resenting it.
Tbf my use of the phrase cheeky little shit only applies if it's true. Wish I'd have gotten hold of 'gimp' before it was snatched up though. :-)You don't have to ''have heard of it''. Just do what lots on here seem to do and pick a derogatory word for his personality and run with it.
You can't have, arrogant, miserable, twat, little shit or gimp, as they are already taken by the mindreaders of bluemoon.
I never said any such thing,
I said declaring him the greatest is an insult.
The Facts are there for anyone to see. Pure footballing merit, skill, talent, longevity, impact, integrity and as a human. like it or not, Messi has it all.
Diego, for all his natural talent was a disgrace a lot of the time and was not around at the very top anywhere near as long as Messi. That’s just facts.
Let’s not forget that his self proclaimed ‘hand of god goal’ helped them to the 86 World Cup! He’s a cheat and a blatant one and in no way can he be compared to Messi. His lack of integrity throughout his career alone stops that.
And as for football knowledge?
Deary me.
Fred over Cristiano surely??1. Messi
2. Maradona
3. Pele
4. Cristiano
5. Gerd Muller
I'm a bit to young to have witnessed Pele, what I have seen on TV he was outstanding, but he didn't really play in the top leagues In his careerThe greatest footballer of all time is Pele.
Anyone else is in a contest for second place, possibly third behind Duncan Edwards.
I think Harry Maguire may be better in the air than MessiI think Pele was bigger, stronger, faster and better in the air than Messi. This is based on the limited footage that I have seen and the books that I have read. Whether this makes him a better player or not is debatable.
Before he arrived Napoli had never won the Scudetto. Not once.Lying about what happened at Napoli doesn't make your argument stronger. No one will every accomplish what you described again for the simple reason it never happened in the first place.
Napoli were in the UEFA cup in 1983 after finishing 4th in 1982 and 3rd in 1981. They weren't a bottom of the table team in Serie A.
He went to Napoli because they broke the world record to sign him, and then they spent the same amount again on players to go around him. In modern day spending it's the equivalent of dropping £350m in one window.
More like Chelsea 2004/5 than Leicester City.
Sure it was a great achievement, but it certainly wasn't the story of a global superstar deciding to go to the worst club in the league and single handedly carrying them to victory.
As for the greatest side in Europe, they lost in the first round of the European Cup the one year he played in it for them, but did have an impressive win in the old UEFA/Europa League.
All this while his off field was a mess.
So players are ok to cheat as long as it’s not in a big match?Blatant cheating,
However it didn’t directly lead to a career defining World Cup win. Then there is the failed Drug tests and bans from football and his thuggery on the pitch. For which 2 clubs wanted rid of him!
lance armstrong won stuff too you know?
This is black mark in Messi’s career if you like.
It hasn’t defined his legacy though.
He hasn't spotted the second goal yet.The handball didn’t define Maradona’s legacy. His 2nd goal, the semi final and the overall Mexico 86 tournament did.
You're right, it's not a contributing factor.Why do you keep adding this, as if being a woman beating cocaine addict up to his neck in gambling debts with the mafia and on the run from governments for avoiding tax is some sort of contributor to his claim to greatness?

You sound like those boring cunts Peter Shilton and Terry Butcher - still banging on about something that happened nearly 40 years ago.
