Though i never stated ramos was the greatest defender of the millenium , what i can deduce from your post is that we should ignore barcablood post, it reeks of stvpidity.

It takes someone with class 2 recognize another. U can't give what u don't have. I don't expect u 2 recognize xavi's class as ur useless club have never produced a midfielder that comes anywhere close to him.

Again, xavi is the greatest. Deal with it

bigkesh:
So Iniesta is the diff between a team that was eliminated in the R-16 and a team that won the tournament.... lmao.

Lampard scored,he showed his Class

So Iniesta was a passenger till the final....No goal,No assist...just making the team sheet

Yeah he is. Laugh all u want, doesn't change d fact. What better place 2 influence a game if not d final. Iniesta turned up on most big occasions that's why he is the legend he is today, something lampard would wish he did more often. Goals scored in the semis and more importantly finals are more important dan irrelevant goals against local league oppositions


It is what it is

airmark:
Now i understand you are joking. Bravo



I quoted you because you are the one spoiling these neophytes with your nonsense legend beer. How do you explain a sane human being saying xavi is the greatest midfielder ever?

Xavi is the greatest

Deal with it

bigkesh:
So Iniesta is the difference between England and Spain... He is also the difference between Barca and Chelsea


Iniesta played with better teammates

Excuses

Iniesta played with the likes of capdevilla, arbeloa, pedro, fabregas, how where they better than Ashley cole, glen Johnson, defoe and gerrard?

The class Iniesta has is clearly the difference here, if lampard's teammates weren't good enough, y didn't he show his own class

airmark:
How barcablood got liver to say xavi is the best MIDFIELDER ever is still a mystery to me. Even the dumbest barca fan wouldn't have said this. It's high time dmcdad stopped giving all these underage boys beers to drink.

He is the greatest

His influence on d biggest stage makes him the greatest and he would hav won the ballon d'or in another era

Deal with it

Debroslink:
Are you saying Lampard never scored against Barcelona? Don't lemme school you here. The point is the value of those goals and assists he had against my team can't be compared with Iniesta's last minute goal against Chelsea.

You said Lampard is the highest midfield scorer in NT. True. But he is not a legend for his NT. All those goals are meaningless when you can't qualify your team to a semifinal of a tournament in your entire career.

Pathetic

Very pathetic

bigkesh:
It easier to be named the second best if your team wins the treble or the World cup.
Lampard did none before he was named the second best,it was clearly individual brillance

Lampard has played with terry, robben, drogba, j.cole, gerrard, beckham, rooney, defoe just 2 mention a few. Aren't these quality enough ? Sometimes d player himself is d difference and Iniesta is an example of such player. It is what it is

10Dove:
not only did he come 2nd, he came 3rd n 4th too, that's a consistent midfielder! won uefa best player of the yr, formerly known as d balon d'or! yet he is unproductive? what shall it profit a man to score 2000 goals n still b watching d like of zizou, platini, pirlo, Andres, xavi(to mention a few) as gods

I wonder oh. Scoring against local teams and winning local titles when d don is writing his name in d history books with his goals and performances on d world stage

bigkesh:
Since Iniesta's career highlight is the goal in the final and the one against Chelsea...Noting his figures which are eyesore, shall we call him a passenger all through the group stages and Knockout??

Zlatan didn't win the UCL at all,a failure?

Gotze scored in the WC final, with goals and assists already more than Iniesta's...
Is he better than Iniesta?

Well ure d one who labelled a football legend like Iniesta a disgrace cos of his goal tally; dats football blasphemy. And yes zlatan can be labelled a failure in d ucl contextually as long as his many goals hasn't won him d medal

I'd rather a Iniesta who scores important goals in d semis and finals of ucls and wcs, that steps up on d highest stage in my team than a lampard who scores majorly against teams in the local league and fails to rise when it matters most. Goals in finals put u up there among the echelon of football greats and yes Gotze has earned himself a place there with his goal against Argentina in the wc final but he still can't be compared with Iniesta cos d latter has a euro cup medal and 4 ucl titles, let him try 2 match that

AdeLaNa1:
"earning reviews from fans and pundits"??


I no know say Arsenal don turn movie wey IMDB and Metacritic go dey give review. Ontop match dat u lost o....

U see, this is the failure and mediocrity we've come to love abt Arsenal and its fans.

One team went home with all 3 points. Another went home celebrating reviews from fans and pundits. Chai! Failure is a fûcking bâstard!!!!

Hahahahaha frm d manager down 2 d fans arsenal fc are a bunch of deluded clowns I must say

iPopAlomo:
And by that same burukutu logic... We still pressed Chelsea up their own half... earning reviews from fans and pundits alike... but when Tico presses barca at Camp Nou...?! with two man deficit... questions need to be asked about your coach...

Wining ugly is not Barcelona's philosophy...

Like I said barca's philosophy is to win, playing good football then comes next. Or what's d essence of playing good football without winning? Arsenal might be content with that but definitely not barca, we pride ourselves in great things; winning. Not earning great reviews after going a man down and still end up losing. If that's ur clubs philosophy then its no wonder u lots can go 9 seasons without a major trophy and still keep d same manager

winning is all that matter in football and win we did against atletico. D rest are irrelevances

iPopAlomo:
I don't expect you to reason logically... but I'll ask you a simple question... what is the philosophy of Barca you fans are always quick to wipe our faces with...

If Chelsea plays like that... it is expected... it surprises no one... but when the supposed best football team in the whole word start to park the bus... wahala dey...

Barca's philosophy is to win at all times, whether against a 11-man team or a 9-man team, and win we did. I dunno which match u watched but when u claim barca parked d bus against atletico @ camp nou, den d alomo u pop in ur moniker must b really affecting ur sight

bigkesh:
Zidane outscored Iniesta right? Zidane's figures are respectable Unlike a dummy like Iniesta that went a while year without a goal or assist in LA liga....

How can you put such a AMF in the class of Lampard and Zizzou......

Zizzou figures are normal,Lamp is an abnormal guy with goals...I don't like using goals but when you bring a guy with very very very low figures into the equation then I have to bring it in..... .

A year without a goal or assist in LA liga....Let that sink in
Fucking disgraceful

Since ure using goals 2 judge then lampard > zidane by ur logic, no need shifting posts. Lampard played at the top for so many years, top competitions 4 club n country and he could only help his club win the ucl once. And u have d guts 2 label Iniesta's contribution a disgrace when lampard is nothing but a local champion. Nothing 4 his country too btw, if that's not disgraceful I don't know what is. Iniesta's goal in the world cup final is more important than any goal lampard has ever scored in his career

coded01:
Great you served him with his own half-cooked yam...

Don't mind d dude. He even called Enrique a useless coach. Fifa world coach of the year

pelvicky:
laugh wan kill me o


so passing the ball around in d last 10 min is your own scare of attacking.... do u even watch d match?


let Wenger deploy deploy d tactic against us

...barca scare of attacking even a real Madrid and Bayern fan won't say this

take a bow

Delusion is so synonymous with these arsenal fans. Their long years of trophylessness musta been d cause

iPopAlomo:
Those ineffectual buffoons fans of barca... always rotating this thread... them get problem for their own backyard... nah arsenal dem carry for head like say nah trophy... Tico... with two red carded players... left with 8 outfield players nd a goalkeeper stood their grounds at Nou camp... Enrique no be coach at all... you're playing 9ine players and you seat deep... who those that...?!

Watch other teams employ Athletico formation against Barca... You're 2-1 up and scared of attacking... attacking 9 players... so tay... for where we dey watch ball... people dey ask... who dey home...?! the red card no show at all...

Granted... you guys won... but it's all down to players brilliance rather than tactical depth.... I rest my case...

Bwahahahahaha what a clown this guy is. Is the essence of football not winning? No wonder ur useless club is d bïtch of every big team it meets; always being bullied. Did your useless club not get a red card in d first half against Chelsea just last week? Going by your burukutu logic Chelsea should have walloped your team. 3 points is all that matters in footie, whether u score 1 goal or 10 is immaterial

sebod:
I think you are the one that really needs to chill. If you read through all the post, you would see when I said he was never denigrated but rather made a reference point of the argument. You guys praise your players at every slight opportunity whenever they play good albeit not winning much,and you expect Barca players who have won it all both at club and national level not to be praised. You were the one that jumped on this thread to assume Alba is the greatest, Pedro >Roben, Masch >Lahm all because we said Xavi is the greatest CM. I have not seen or heard any Barca fan call Busi the greatest here or anywhere, but you guys are quick to remind us how poor and average he is when ever we praise him for his influence on the team (hence the best in his position). If we praise Suarez as the best striker in the world, does that suggest we mean he's the greatest striker ever?If your media could so much praise Wilshere, Bale and co as the best even when they never achieved anything, if the Arsenal fans could be praising Ozil, Monrealn Bellerin and co as the best in your league, if Mikel was praised as the best passer in one season then all because of his numbers of side and back passes (guys who are yet to win any), and you expect those who have won it all to always be over looked. No one but only you have called Busi, alba, alves the greatest here all because you wanted to score a point. All your players you once rated above these Barca players have been all cursed and brought down by same Chelsea fans after they could live up to expectation. Where is Hazard? Where is Matic? Bro, na you we go beg to chill!

Dat dude oozes jealousy thru and thru. Just loves to dance around semantics. I dunno who here called alves/alba d greatest rb/lb or claiming mascherano>lahm

marqueetim:
Any how you see it, We have seen Xavi dictate the game even when Zizou was playing. I remember him scoring a beautiful winning goal in 2005 at the bernabeu and dictating the game in the 3-0 thrashing in 2006 just before the world cup. Xavi and Iniesta are in the midfield class of best ever, respect them or not!

Leave em haters. They'll die of jealousy


Xavi is the greatest. Haters should go and die

bigkesh:
Barca fans really behave like deludes clowns sometimes.....
Like we should just leave football for them and give them everything...... How was Xavi brought down in that argument? Just because they mentioned Xavi and his low assists means they didn't insulted their own best ever CM


I used to like reading stuffs here before, but you guys need to chill....really chill
All the best ever is from this generation of their team including Busquet and Alves


Everything won't always be about Barca

Just goes 2 show ur level of hatred 4 barca. U either appreciate the best or talk a walk. Whoever claimed alves was d best ever rb? That was d same way u said jordi alba was d best ever lb? If u watch football well and yet can't see how influential xavi was 2 both barca and Spain in winning all d trophies he has, then u just a jealous troll. End of

airmark:


I hope you know that blanket term ''midfielder'' comprises of attacking midfielders. I rate pavel nedved above your xavi let alone the greatest zizou himself. You must be a regular attendee at night of a thousand laffs

U can as well rate mikel ahead of xavi or even rate djemba djemba ahead of suarez. It doesn't change d fact. Only an ignoramus would even pitch some names together when football legends are being compared


Whatever makes u snore when sleeping tho

marqueetim:
Belletti feels the success of Barca's attacking trident is also a consequence of having a player like holding midfielder Sergio Busquets behind them.
"There's a guy playing behind these three that allows them to shine with his quality delivery and that's Busquets," he added.
"His technical capacity combined with the talent of those three is crucial and that helps Neymar showing his talent."

Airmark finds quotes like this very disturbing. Hope he sleeps well 2nite

airmark:
Frustrated in real life? I am an happy man and just reacting to some of your ninjas here that are all out to join forces against me even when the adversaries were not making any sense. I dont troll, i debunk fallacies that are everywhere on this thread. Happy weekend to you bro.







So you saw it? You may not be lucky next time. Clown.

I think u pride yourself by living in denial of the fact that barca z the best, neymar z better than all Chelsea players, busquets is the best dm who has won it all and xavi is arguably d greatest midfielder ever


Touche bruh

bykebyke:
Don't you think it was luck?

Luck? That aint luck hommie. A gk saves with d whole of his body so that was top notch reflex

Dis airmark dude must be really frustrated in real life. God! What a roach!

bigkesh:
Super Frankie... Any midfielder in your history with half his goals??

Xavi masters the play...OK
Lampard scores and assist...

And from what I learnt from Hazard and Neymar argument, If a midfielder is assisting or scoring then he is useless

Of what use are your goals when they don't win your team the biggest trophies. There z a difference netweren scoring a lotta local goals and scoring and making positive impact with your goals/assist on the global stage


History remembers u when you make ur goals/assists win d biggest trophies. Btw hazard and neymar are wingers who play further up and are expected 2 score goals so its only logical they be judged by goals more than CMs

SIRcumalot:
I watched both of them too ,and probably should've looked away but you said "the likes of lampard" that na injustice.
his on par with the greatest of his generation and am not even a Chelsea fan.

Lampard is a great player no doubt, but when you're as great as both lampard and Xavi your trophies are used to judge you cos dats d essence of playing goals, and xavi shïts on lampard in that regard

SIRcumalot:
Lampard is just as good as these guys and he has the added benefit of superior number.
His a football legend not just for Chelsea.

J J okocha is also a African football legend but his legendary status can't be compared to Samuel eto'o's

bigkesh:
I see.....But when we say Messi should win the world cup to be the best ever you will tell us he doesn't need it

Messi is an anomaly. World cup or not, he z the greatest. How many world cup greats have 5 ballon d'ors? At least he still achieved something for his country, he z still active and can still win d world cup. It is what it is

bigkesh:
Lampard triples Xavi's figures in any Stat...Any stat at all

The essence of playing football is to win trophies; and the biggest ones @ that. Lampard's goals couldn't win him the world cup and euro cup

Lampard is a toddler near xavi. Only beer parlour pundits argue otherwise

bigkesh:
Yes...and Pedro is the greatest winger of all time

Keep hovering around semantics all u want. Xavi is the greatest midfielder ever.

Deal with it

bigkesh:
Na you get be Player of all time
Best CM of all time
Best AMF of all time
Best DM of all time
Best RB of all time


Kudos

We are Barcelona. The greatest are made here
U can either appreciate it or take a walk.

Itz just d way it is

sebod:
I believe you intentionally ignored the word 'my' in the sentence. You are free to also tell us yours as we are always open to different opinions.

No need 4 stories bruh. He's the greatest. His records and trophy haul speaks volume. Haters can go romance a starved rhinoceros
