nna na wa o. abi na from im village?

ddippset:
there is only one round of voting, after which the top 3 are revealed just for the sake of invitation to the podium. there's nothing like final voting.

dmcdad:

Zubi has to go. Imagine a doctor giving a warning signal for him not to purchase that guy, but he was adamant. I guess because the club belongs to him and he does whatever he likes.
I no dey even bother myself count Vermaelen as our player sef.

ddippset:
i was very optimistic when he was signed, but now its not funny any longer o. this means we are one defender less. we are stuck with just pique, bartra and mathiues. not good at all.

Austeenx:
seriously, i really don't understand zubizarreta.
out of all the defenders in this world, why vermaelen?

[size=36]Doubts surround Telmo Zarra’s goal tally[/size]

Messi broke the Athletic Bilbao player’s record on Saturday. After studying eight sources of historic information, Zarra’s league goal total’s range from 242 to 265 goals. It’s almost impossible to determine the correct figure.

Leo Messi broke the league goal scoring record of 251 goals held by Telmo Zarra last Saturday according to official LFP data. However there are eight other sources who cite the Basque player’s goal tally as anywhere between 242 and 265 goals. The question is, how many goals did Zarra really score? Is the official LFP figure accurate? To try and cast some light on the matter Mister Chip studied each season in depth, consulting and contrasting with the eight different sources.

The first conclusion is that Zarra’s total is definitely between 242 and 265 goals. It’s absolutely certain that he scored at least 242 goals. There are however 23 goals where discrepancies lie amongst the various sources. After a detailed analysis of all the data connected with these particular goals where doubts prevailed, it would appear from the findings, that the correct figure would appear to be 253 goals. The same figure that Messi has reached after scoring his hat-trick on Saturday against Sevilla.

Some may ask, how can there be so many discrepancies? There are various motives. 1) Until 1948, players didn’t use numbers on the playing shirts which provoked confusion for those recording match details at the time, especially in identifying players from the visiting team. 2) At the time there was no uniform criteria in assigning goals with goalscorers, each chronicler had his own idea on the matter. 3) The differences in criteria surrounding possible own-goals. However in the case where there is sufficient detailed information in describing the goal, then we can make more accurate deductions in the adding up of Zarra's league goals.

I don't even know what to say again..

Congrats to messi for being la liga all time top goalscorer.It took him 10 years to achieve this feat.

dmcdad:
Respect!

Did you see that? "...You conquered us all with your humility and talent" Humility, a trait lacking in Ronaldo and that's why Messi will forever be king! Ii said this sometime last year that the best of this dude is yet to be seen. Most players who lost their crown was for lack of humility and they allow their successes to get into their head. Same can not be said for Messi. The only thing I am not so cool with is the news that Messi smokes. Which may affect him in the long run. I am not certain whether that is true anyway. You tell me as a Barca fan.

Messi has got talent... Ronaldo has got struggling/fighting spirit, both are on different levels.

messi smokes?

dmcdad:

Messi smokes? Nah nah nah... If that were true, I guess I would have read it somewhere. Afterall, the media come up with things (both the ones he did or is guilty of as well as the ones he didn't and would never do), and of those things I have never read anywhere that he smokes. That should be false most definitely. Moreover, Mathieu that came just some few months back is well confirmed to be a smoker. Can you imagine Messi being a smoker and the media haven't done justice to him all these years?
Anything Messi is news, and a case of smoking should be more news than news (lol) because they just can't leave La Pulga alone. He is that good!
So, from my own knowledge, that is most definitely false.

This your Statement can be called Fallacy of Argumentum ad Ignorantiam and Argumentum ad Verecundiam....

Bro, I heard it from someone and I didn't really believe it and that was why I quoted dmcdad requesting that he enlighten me on the veracity of that claim or allegation. I wasnt really happy on hearing that he smokes because Messi is a genius whom I love.

I love football but I don't follow what happens like you guys do. So, forgive muy ignorance for almost accepting what I was told hook line and sinker.

So, base on what you have said here, I will take it that he is not a smoker and my heart is much gladdened.
