I'm not having a go at you Rowen, but you still cannot deny that there is not much different in defense from both leagues, yes the PL plays with more pace and pressure but not too much different from the other sides. I mean, Messi playing in the PL would be great to watch, but he is on top of his game in La Liga and he is making every defener look like shit when facing him.

Can you please re-read my posts?
This is like having a conversation with someone in the past. It's completely out of sync.

why did you say that Messi is a little girl and that you like little girls?
why Rowen? Why?
And what's with everyone calling me Rowen!?
I'm not sure Rwen, I'm really not
and neither is Messi

because i can't move my fingers properly
sorry, i thought you where one of the fanatics that think that a player doesn't prove to be good untill he succeeds in the Premier League
like Alan Shearer did
Of course but we were having a silly discussion about what a player could do if not doing what they do best...
My point isnt that Messi wont be less effective, of course he will but my only point is/was that without goals Messi could still be a world class player, be it winger or playmaker. I said he would play left wing, not on the right and all you would say is, get to the byline and whip a cross in. He'd do it better than anyone probably but of course you are right in what you say but it wasnt exactly what i was getting at, or in the same context.
The performance everyone was talking about, enjoy if you didnt see it already.
It's good that he seems over those injury problems that plagued his early career.
Some goal that first one. Bizarre defending for the 2nd, just showing him onto his left foot. Suicidal.

What a ridiculous performance that was.
Messi is god
That's got to be one of the best hattricks of all time, surely? The agility and ball control for that first goal, in particular, were absolutely out of this world. Football fans harp on about the supposedly weaker defences of La Liga, but there's no defender on the planet that is capable of dealing with Messi when he's playing like that. It's just stupid how good he is - that video is pretty much 9 minutes of him taking on player after player....in one game!
Playing Messi is amost cheating, the manager can just put his feet up and enjoy the show. A touchline ban is useless to Pep with Messi around.
2 more goals so far tonight. 2nd one was quality
Messi>MARADONA+PELE+Zidane +Infinite add 1,
Anyone still disagree?!?!
Anyone still disagree?!?!
He wins the ball near the half way line, turns a few players inside out and then inside out again and fires it into the net. Unbelievable.
Best player in the world. I don't know how anyone can dispute it. What a goal. What a player.

I don't think there's any arguments anymore, no player can be this good.
Messi sits at the throne with Wayne and Cristiano feeding him grapes.
I do. Best player in the world, yes. Best Player ever, still some time to go.
I'm only joking, but he can go on to te be the greatest. Look what he's doing to football at 22.
and a 3rd now
Of course he can. Never said that. If he maintains this for a large part of his career, then why not. Not now though.
What a goal, another Hat trick!!!!
The scary thing is that even Rooney - playing his best football in his career - is nowhere near this good at the moment. When I say nowhere near, I mean nowhere near.
Hattrick now.
Hattrick now.
Little fecker is too good.
Getting a bit ridiculous to be honest.
Did you see Zlatan's miss??!!
Messi.......what can I say?!?!?!!

He is
Trust me to start that thread as Messi decides to take it up another notch.
Absolutely unplayable today.
If he carries this level of performance into the World Cup, he'll be mentioned in the company of the very best players ever, without question.

He's outscored Rooney now..
What a time in the season to hit a purple patch. Arsenal must be shitting themselves.
Nothing wrong being second best to this guy, or third to him and Ronnie.
Just wow

He already is mentioned there for me, it's now about overtaking them
Is it 8 goals in the last 3 or something mad like that. Geez.
Let's hope he's worn out by the time we play them.
It's not even the goals, he controls the play, nobody gets more touches of the ball, he does it all.
It's unfair really...I mean come on, even in Play Station it's more difficult than what he's doing right now.
I know you're WUMming.
Surely..
But at this level, he'll be up there with them in no time at all - needs a great World Cup for it to even be a possibility.
