Back to Macca he is a top class shot stopper,
BUT
His faults are he does not leave his line to cut out crosses and if a shot is from outside the box he does not perform as if  it was from short range,

So he is a very good L2 keeper no more,

Unless Hurst gets a L1 job and needs a keeper,

If so Macca will not let him down.

Have you seen much of him this season Pete, he looks a bit better under the high ball, keepers who play against us often look good at coming to claim our corners, not because they are any good it's mire that we are crap at taking corners.

Well , Pele, who was possibly the best footballer this world has seen, said it was the greatest save he had ever seen and he didn't know how he did it - that's good enough for me. But then again you might think Pele was overrated as a footballer!


If that was a header by Joe Bloggs saved by Joe Schmoe, it wouldn’t have been remembered the next season, let alone until the end of time.

Maradona should be in the mix. He virtually single-handily dragged an unfashionable team (Napoli) to their first Serie A title.  He also captained them again to another title.

He captained Argentina to a World Cup win.  He was a massive reason for winning the Cup.  He also scored at least one breath-taking goal.  You have to hand it to him.

Maradona delivered for both his club and country.  What has Messi done for his country over the years?

With Maradona you have to ignore all the bad stuff that distorts his many brilliant achievements.

Is taking an ordinary Argentina to the final not enough?

Messi has been consistently amazing for the last decade. I don’t think you’re saying he’s bad but I don’t see how they come close imo.

All these top players look great on the ball with all the clever touches and control, but thats because no one is allowed to tackle them, why do you think they spend all their time receiving the ball facing their own goal, they are poncy prima donnas, even the supposed hard players nowadays are a bunch of pansies. Bring back Bobby C and and Diddy Gilbert, real footballers of both genres.

Pele might have been the greatest world footballer of a generation and maybe the most famous ever, but he's plainly not the best footballer the world has ever seen.


But he scored 36345 goals.

Never said he was the best or the greatest , just possibly one of them.


'Possibly the best' you said.

He had a fantastic left feet.


The trouble is he had two of them.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

I see what you did there.  

Will always be a tainted genius for me.
