Don't get too used to it.
Messi needs 65 goals to be the top scorer in La Liga history, should happen by 2014.
Oh yeah Victor Valdes had a son yesterday, congrats to him
He should cherish the moment. It's about the only time he'll ever hold onto something properly.

Not sure about the amount of goals but he would be amazing, without a doubt. This kind of question is something you usually hear from British people, not just about Messi but almost all of the top players not playing on the island. I´m pretty certain that not only him but Ibra and Falcao also, would completely rip it up in PL. I see them as a step above all in PL(for messi, make that a couple of steps)

You want to forget because of the diabolical display of City in the CL
Phil Bardsley is one of the worst footballers in the league. His pass completion must be less than 50%.
No need to get so touchy
Unbeaten in 7! A clean sheet vs Wigan! It's all changing, we're marching up the table!!
2 weeks later... we're fucked, going nowhere, this isn't working we need to change something
edit: does that count as a shot on target?

I did watch Barkely as well, and yes he could offer great things in the middle, however, the problem is not whether he will play for us, but the problem is Moyes and his love for Neville in the middle. We do have other people to play in the middle for us, but he keeps insisting on Neville for some bizarre reason. Yes, Barkely is exceptional, but truth to be told, if he comes back, he will just rot in the bench.
I can see him play full time, when Fellaini leave, though.
3-3. Liverpool blew a three goal lead!

Being a beast at 15 doesn't mean much if he doesn't keep developing, so yeah he might very well never play for Chelsea, but it's certainly not impossible for the youth to break into Chelseas squad, Terry and Bertrand on the team right now should be enough evidence of that.

I remember reading about a clause in his contract which prevent him to be fired or something, is that true?
3 matches in a row where we are robbed by the ref :\
The defence in the premier league is pretty poor, too. Manchester United are second in the league and their defence is fucking wank, and they consistently concede, yet often win the match regardless. Doesn't always work, as Norwich showed yesterday, but long gone are the days when we can talk about the premier league as some bastion of cultured defending. It's bollocks.
Not getting touchy whatsoever, genuinely had no idea what you were on about. I don't think the second half of your hypothesis works, either. We haven't been getting results all season but we've not called for major changes because the system's progressing each week, and on many occasions it's large slices of luck or lapsed concentration that have cost us, rather than structural faults.
And there's also an element of 'fuck it, let's just get to January' about us.
Oh, and I'd like to banish the myth that Wigan are a shit team, they're better than many teams we've played this season. Say, Newcastle, who were hopeless.

No idea but yeah I read that too. Lo Monaco might be able to keep him secure, but Zamps will no doubt go for blood.
I am not saying he would be bad and I am certainly pro-PL as some people aroudn here. But when you consider the leaps Barca and Real Madrid have over any other team in Spain, one have to wonder if the quality is there to actually test Messi.
He would be undoubtly be amazing in PL and would tear the league apart like he always do, but would he score like 4 goals every game or so?

What day is the City vs Madrid game?

Either Tuesday or Wednesday

Thanks.
I agree, but to get to that level he definitely needs a full season of game time. If he's recalled, and spends a good portion of time on the bench, he won't be ready next August.

I think he would score just a bit less, just a bit, surely CL is tougher than EPL right? Well he has been top scorer in that competition 4 seasons in a row too.
And if he can score 4 against Arsenal in one game, twice against ManUnited etc. I am sure he could do it against Newcastle, Reading, Wigan etc.
Of course depends what team he would be on too.
People were saying the same thing about Torres, Mata, Silva, Yaya, Cazorla, Michu, Aguero etc. Yet they seem to cope just fine in the premier league. Well Torres did, lol not anymore.
edit
Also not 100% sure but he doesn't score 4 a game, more like 1 or 2. Last time he scored 4 or more was against Leverkusen in the CL I think, where he scored 5.

Yeah the same amount would probably be hard to reach, i'll give you that
I'll also have to say that there are a couple of teams besides Barca and Real that I think could be really good contenders for CL spots in PL when they are having a good year, Athletic and Bilbao comes to mind in the latest years.
But the fact that Real and Barca are so superior to them shows that it can be really easy to play for Barca and Real if you fit into the system and Messi does without a doubt, so yes he probably wouldn´t be as good.

My favourite scene overall is when Ross, Chandler and Joey play the inaugural practice game of Bamboozled, with the silly rules and conditions

FPL?
I know, he's chatting some shite. Saying the ref could have been lenient as well. I'd have been livid if he'd done it against us and stayed on
Don't worry Viva, everyone has him in their FF team.

True, unlike Big Bang Theory, Friends-hate on GAF is pretty unjustified. (imo lol)
:lol must have been airing world wide.
They've got to him though. All the Fulham players will have to do now is fall over and get a free kick

I don't think he is too reliant on his favoured system. He hasn't really implemented it yet. We've been playing 4-2-3-1 as opposed to the 4-3-3 he favoured at Porto. I expect that is why he wanted Joao Moutinho. When he took Defoe off against Wigan I think both Ushojax and I said it was the right decision. As for Rodgers, I remember people here questioning why he was using a certain system when it wasn't working. He makes a tactical sub and changes it and he's a genius. AVB changes it and it's a result of media pressure? I'm not buying that. That compact 4-4-2 was working great against Arsenal. You can't always go out and play exactly how you want when you're away from home and lacking the players to facilitate it.

Friends was good fun but they kind of ran out of stuff in the last seasons, it was like all characters became parodies of themselves. Also Phoebe was terrible from start to finish, but I'm going to assume this is a very accepted fact.
