    I get that - but they really are starting to bore me now.

    Messi’s away to a team where everycunt wants to be the big I am, you’ll be lucky to see Messi playing 5 brilliant games a season at PSG.

    Ronaldo - I genuinely couldn’t give a flying * about him now, he’s just an ego maniac who has turned himself into someone who stays in one area to try and score as many goals as he can for his own record.

    Ronaldo will play for longer and will probably beat every record under the sun, but he’s no longer as interesting as he once was.

    What other 37 year old is producing at that level and that athleticism is what interests me still. Messi 100% has the better natural ability but ronaldo has created a monster in all senses of football as he wasn’t that naturally gifted originally.
    This is why I can never understand why ronaldo isn’t the one all players should aspire to perform or live like. As messis natural ability is completely unachievable

    Good stuff.

    Me personally, I couldn’t give a * about the self-centred egomaniac selfish * - on the park of course…

    Wasn't naturally gifted? I'd argue differently. He was naturally more gifted than the majority. He just worked even harder to become the very best. I could put in 18 hours a day hard football training/gym etc and still never become a professional. Hard work can elevate your gift. He was certainly gifted to beginwith.

    Ronaldo comes over as if he loves himself deeply but always preferred him to Messi.

    Yep..

    I've barely taken any notice of either since their moves..

    I've never been a Ronaldo hater, although Messi is the greatest for me, but he seems to be more of a * now, in a team surrounded by *. Same with Messi's PSG, a side with so many * i hope they fail as well..

    He scored 8 in one match and was at the match when Dixie Dean scored 6 in one match. He said he thought Dixie was going to break his record.
    He also has the British all time record of 55 hat tricks 48 in league and 7 in cup comps.

    How football is now, that record will never be beat for us cos anyone scoring 200 for us would be away to Southampton. So I’m surprised we haven’t readied a statue of sorts for him

    Just wondering if Messi will play long enough to overtake Pele as top South American player in World.
    Pele on 747 competitive goals
    Messi on 727 competitive goals so far
