“Messi is already the best player in the world, but he can become the best ever.”
He might have a point. As things stand, that particular “greatest ever” crown seems to belong to either Pele or Maradona by consensus, although no one will ever quite agree on which. The Spoiler tends to lean towards Maradona, but would happily throw Michael Laudrup, Zinedine Zidane, and Garrincha into the debate too.
But what do YOU think? Is Messi the greatest ever? Does he need to win a World Cup first? Let us know with a vote and a comment.
Everyone has been going Rooney bonkers in the last few weeks, and rightly so. Finally, England seem to have a player capable of winning big matches on his own. But, without wishing to urinate too heavily on the nation’s chips, don’t forget that Argentina have been churning out the things for years - Ardiles, Maradona, Batistuta, Ortega, Veron, Riquelme. And above is the best player in the world right now. Fact.
No one likes a tune-changer. No one. You know the type - old women with prune-faces, whistling merrily one minute, regaling you with all that is well with the world, then furiously scrubbing mud from their front step the next, muttering something about bloody young people. With their motorbikes.
Anyway, one such tune-changer appears to be Arrigo Sacchi, the former AC Milan manager - now 63 - who has reportedly been stroking Zlatan Imbrahimovic’s precious ego with one fist, whilst simultaneously delivering an almighty blow to the underpants with the other.
He said this, on the popular Spanish radio station, Onda Cero Catalunya:
Those who regularly visit inner city pubs will attest to the fact that short people are not to be messed with. Yes, they might be funny at first, with their cute little legs, and lovable hamster hands. But, five lagers in, and if you so much as sneeze at the wrong moment, they will brick you in the face.
Hence, the robed gentlemen at Man City better beware, because the word from today’s Daily Mail is that Shaun Wright-Phillips is on the warpath, demanding more money.
It’s been another big day for the investigative journalists on the Cole case, with Cheryl’s spokesperson, Sundraj Sreenivasan, finally putting everyone out of their misery:
“Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time.”
The popular Spanish daily, Sport, has been busily speculating again about who might be drafted into the Nou Camp over the summer, with reports suggesting that Barcelona will be looking primarily for an attacking midfielder, a zippy player on the left, and cover for Dani Alves at right back.
Of course, it being Barcelona, all the talk is of big names like Fabregas in the middle, either Ribery, David Silva or Angel Di Maria on the wing. Then, erm, John O’Shea at right back.
John O’Shea.
Not Glen Johnson. Not Sagna. Not even his Man United team mate, Rafael.
John O’Shea.
Question - is John O’Shea really Barcelona material? Let us know with a vote and a comment.
