Jesus ****ing wept that boy Ronaldo is quite good.

[barrybueno]

Not as good as Messi tho, and never will be :-D

Very good goal. People are going way OTT about it though.

Yes, an overhead kick when you have teed it up first is definitely easier than timing one from a cross 30 yards away :jesuswept:

In recent memory there’s also the Zlatan one against England and the one when Rooney shinned it. I prefer those two.

Eidur Gudjonsen (sp?) as well

High foot. Dangerous play. Free kick.

I'd book him, as well.

Not sure why anyone bothers paying much attention to Ronaldo. Everyone knows what he is very good at but personally I don't find him a particularly enjoyable player to watch, even not considering his preening and self-obsession.

I'd rather watch KDB. :shrug:

KDB isn't exactly an exciting player to watch, not to say he's not a very good player. Functional.

I refer you to my earlier comment about you knowing nothing about football

[World's End Stella]

Hmmm, I strongly disagree. Watching KDB is a joy. He does so many subtle things so well and some of the balls he plays are worth the price of admission.

I suppose I'm just partial to midfield creators/destroyers. I like to watch players that 'run the game' as the cliché goes. Between his two goals last night Ronaldo was virtually invisible. Not that that denigrates him in any way, of course, he just isn't my preference.

Gundogan at City is another I could watch for hours.

[Tony C]

My problem with Messi is that he should’ve achieved more with Argentina imo

[Tony C]

That and the fact all he does is Zigzag in straight lines constantly....big fkin deal.

And of course tee-ing it up with your chest is a piece 'o p1ss now ain't it you cantankerous old soak.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

If I was a ref I would send him off every match for being such an inveterate swallower of the cock. My contacts tell me he is something of a receiver c.

I have little doubt that his ringpiece is a ruined, battered piece of muscle over which he has no control whatsoever.

Not at all but just footballing basics that hitting the ball first time is a more difficult skill than after controlling it first

Apart from Carlisle and spurs fans, does anyone really give that much of a toss about International footy?

REally? I think he is an amazing player to watch. Takes the ball absolutely everywhere, all over the pitch. Always free, and as responsible in his own third as he is brilliant in the opposition's.......perhaps not quite as spectacular as some others, I suppose.

It pains me to say it but I am not sure City are getting quite enough credit for what they are doing this season. They are absolutely outstanding.

Functional is more than a little harsh.

Elneny is functional.

He's Belgian mate. You don't want to encourage them. They might breed.

Okay, I'll clarify. I wouldn't pay money, specifically to watch him play.

I dont carry the same prejudices with me as you seem to. Its all just humanity to me.

Apart from the bloody jews, obviously*

Well, yes....goes without saying. Was the only thing in recent years that peaked my interest in the National side. I will of course watch the WC, but shall be keenly listening to his insight on the wireless

I hope he is better than Pat Nevin - was listening last night and it sounded like he had had a few (NTTIAWWT)
