This booty scratching nonce again. How many times am I gonna tell you to stop quoting me? It seems you have got death wish. Keep fcccking till you and yer mum gets killed. Don’t quote - post yer shiiit without me and fark off! Just because the game evolved a few years ago with attacking midfielders becoming false 9 - that doesn’t negate the traditional position in football. Wingers are more of forwards than a traditional no. 10 that plays behind the striker.

Farrrrk off, you nonce.

Yes, Totti and Del Piero were forwards just as Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard were. LMAO. Fccking bellend.

on topic, i don't think mike was dissing messi, dude is very respectful, i think he was sending messi a message he, as argentine, would appreciate. even messi thinks diego is the goat

[Chinned]

What does he know about football?

R.I.P Maradona - the best I ever saw. Ronaldinho and Brazilian Ronaldo (the real Ronaldo) are the next two.

Messi and Ronaldo era was the weakest era in football - the standard is going up again with all the young talents coming up.

Ronaldinho is the most exciting player I've ever seen, an incredible player and the best in the world for a few years but his ability to win football matches again and again and again isn't on the same level as R9, CR7 or Messi to be honest.

Still my fav player ever outside of my own team. CR7/Messi don't have a weak era - that is ridiculous. They do play in more stacked domestic teams though, since the sport has changed and now the best players always gravitate to the top clubs. The rule change RE transfers impacted things greatly.

I just had to throw that in since you mentioned that he said Gravesen is a warrior. So if he actually watched football and knew about the exploits of bald Dane on the pitch - then he should know Michael Laudrup since he's Denmark's greatest footballer. And the Laudrup brothers played in Tyson's era.

I think Tyson got to know Gravesen outside of football. The man is stocky, bald and built like a tank - so he's most likely a Tyson fan, hence they got to meet. Gravesen was an average footballer at best - there was absolutely nothing warrior-like about him. LMAO.

Both Messi and Ronaldo are a tad overrated and they dominated an era where there weren't really great standout talents. The fact that Pirlo and Xavi were worshipped in that era when they were in their 30s but were rarely talked about in previous era when they were in their prime, tells you all you need to know, lol. Pirlo was NEVER better than Del Piero and Totti when they were all active.

Until Messi takes a pedestrian Argentine team to the finals and win the world cup - he'll never be appreciated there. Argentines thought they were done after Kempes - then the football genius, Maradona, arrived and changed the world. Imagine Batistuta was in his prime at the 90s world cup or Maradona didn't sniff too much coke to fall off the cliff at the 94 world cup - they would've won it 3 times. Messi has a lot of great Argentine footballers to play with, yet he hasn't won anything.

Fair enough on Gravesen, although I'm also inclined to think there was Gravesen who played for Denmark and Tommy who played for Everton, if you see what I mean? Perhaps Toffee and/or RJJ GOAT can let me know if that's true or not.

Messi and Ronaldo overrated...I don't know. Personally, I'd take Ronaldinho over the pair of them but if we're taking longevity and stats into account, it paints a different picture.

As far as rivals go, there was Zlatan, Eto'o (criminally underrated imho), Drogba, Torres, Villa, Rooney, Aguero, Benzema, Higuain, Cavani...I'm sure you'll take issue with a few of those names, I do myself, but in the end they've got the numbers to back them up.

Good point there.

State of this c***.

Any respectable football database recognises both Totti and Del Piero as forwards. Cause they were...

You actually know less about football than you do about boxing.

I can’t believe you were born in the 90’s, I was convinced you were some teenage kid, the fact that you’re close to thirty makes it even more embarrassing. Did you get the special bus to school and that? Cause you’re mental age is that of a child.

Get a life and hand the laptop in you sad little nonce. We’re on to ya....

I rated Gravesen for Everton, he could blow hot and cold but we were a very poor team at that point and I always felt he was as one of our better players. Even if you didn’t particularly rate him at us, I don’t think he was that much better for Denmark.

That **** Em fella doesn’t know sh** about football.

Messi and Ronaldo are both ATG’s the only indictment on their greatness is their failure to deliver in the latter stages of the World Cup. Both Top 10 all time in my book.

To say they played in a weak era is again laughable. Barcelona from 2008-2012 is an all time great team. As was Real Madrid from 2014-2018. They would hold their with any club side in history, as would Spain from 2008-12 on the international stage aside from maybe Brazil in 1970.

[satiev1]

I doubt he watches football. For him to diss Messi who's better than Ronaldo and the closest thing to Maradona you'll ever see despite lauding Maradona should tell you all you need to know.

If he claims he knows Gravesen, I'd like him to tell me about the Laudrup brothers and their career at Ajax, lol. That was the golden era!

Prime Ronaldo who played in Zidane era is better than messi. PRIME FOR PRIME. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[Monzon99]

Mike will diss people he does not like. He must have some inside info on Messi. Mike totally dissed floyd not long ago, calling him a scared little man. Because floyd can't go in public and take his kids to school without having bodyguards to protect him. He said greatness means the public embrace you, don't need bodyguards like floyd. Tyson clearly detests floyd.
