Because of the afore mentioned Messi....i say it everytime i'd love to see how he faired in the Premiership getting kicked from pillar to post everyweek or in a FA cup 3rd tie at a League 2 ground with a big hairy ars.ed Sunday morning centre half chopping him down has he tried to make a run for goal.
I used to say that... Until you watch them in a game against someone **** who tries to do that. Most of the time he gets the free kick and gets back on with it, the rest of the time he's just too quick to get the boot into him. He always claims his success is down to Xavi and Iniesta, so you could argue he wouldn't be as good in another team, but I still think he'd piss it in any league.
Re: I used to say that... Exactly. Best player world has ever seen and we're lucky enough to see him in his prime. Enjoy him while it lasts.
Think its as you say really as in he'd get lumps taken out of him, can just imagine players like Ryan Shawcross facing Messi.... Still love to see him at Man U though....
