Messi is better than either of them.

The best player of this generation, by far! For me, he's already up there with Maradona, Pele, Cruyff & Best Ronaldo too.

Drunken mistake. Apologies.

..awkward

Agreed

Tbf.. In this game, there wasn't much to do. He made 2 actual saves. Defence was good and Celtic lacked any attacking movement.

Great player to have. Total b/s though.

Tbh, what would happen (if those 3 made up the midfield) is something like.. Miereles - Ramires ------Lampard

Good post, but there's no way Lampard has the defensive capabilities or positional discipline to play as a holding player

I don't think that's true. Like I said, it's because Vidic does a lot more positive than negative which is why it seems that way. However I've seen many times on MOTD & SS, his negatives being scrutinized. Especially with that handball last season v. Arsenal or whoever it was. The only reason David Luiz's mistakes are more noted on is, because he's knew. If Phil Jones made similar ones, they wouldn't go unnoticed either. For many, the first impression of David Luiz (for most media) was his - lucky - missed red card, which then punished United further with that goal.

So THAT'S what Torres is doing wrong! He forgot his bat!

You've really downplayed Vidic's abilities there. Most centre halves are quite dirty, even JT isn't innocent. The only reason David Luiz's errors are highlighted more is because he doesn't play that often, so it doesn't give many people a chance to see more positives. That will change as the season goes along. Vidic is one of the best defenders in the league imo.

Good work mate!

loved that digg!

He & Athletico are playing tonight in the Europa League vs Celtic. Should be a cracking game.. Leti have a very good squad with Courtois, Falcao & Arda joining them. Game will be on ESPN (for UK members)

Chelsea avoid legal wrangles by choosing Juan Mata over Javier Pastore http://www.guardian....-javier-pastore Considering we pay the most in agent fees, this is a positive step in our change in direction. In terms of negotiations.

That maybe normal there, but here it is not. There's only so many price increases you can take..

This begs for an excellent background image.. Any of your graphics specialists feeling creative?

Touché

Yeaah. He made some silly comments, but he's still a quality player. Has hard a hard 2 or so years though.

Islam Feruz is the "new Rooney" ..We have the black Pele

A fellow JC fan? :')

He hasn't been ripping up players. He has worked hard and he set up goals in 1 game.. I know you like to be an optimist, but be realistic too. I want him to succeed and I do also believe he did very well last night. But he's hot and cold too often, and need to maintain his good form game in, game out.
