There are different kind of ediots in life:
The ediot that knows he's an ediot and is willing to change

The ediot that doesn't realise hes an ediot.

You are the worst of them all, ediot that tattooed his ediocy all over his face like a Mexican gangster.

You've gone from Modric made Madrid win UCL to Marcelo, Lukaku, Kane etc.

How many assists does Modric have in UCL? His highest ever tally in a single season is 3.


Modric has not made more than 1 UCL assist a season since 2013, but he's more important than the top scorer in the competition every year since 2012


Ororo is a 5 time WPOTY for scoring goals. Kane and Lukaku are nowhere near his level. Infact, Ororo has more league goals in Spain alone, than their combined career totals


Comparing Kane and Lukaku to Ororo is literally proof that as a child, you aspired to be a Balon Dor contender in the industry of stüpidity. Congratulations, take your award.

please stop quoting me. I don't even know how you managed to rope me into your insane rantings in the first place. It's not as if I was even discussing Ororo's exploits.

You can quote me again when Modric drags Asensio to UCL or World Cup final

Inasmuch as this is your opinion, I have a problem with this logic not only because it is prejudiced, but because it does not also make too much sense.

Here's why.
1st, you make it sound like Barcelona did Messi a very huge favour by signing him. Completely disregarding the fact that it has been a very symbiotic relationship. Messi has reciprocated the faith the club had in him, by deciding to play his entire football career at the club.

2nd, you seem to suggest that Messi's ability to perform in the EPL should be judged on his performances against small teams in the said EPL. If this makes lots of sense, then it means that Cristiano Oponunaldo's last 2 Ballon dor's should not have been awarded to him because he didn't decimate a very defensive Sassuolo on a cold night, he instead scored a controversial penalty against Juventus, Serie A's very best. In fact, he should have been denied the Ballon d'or because he didn't score a hatrick against Hoffeinheim in the semis, instead he scored
a hatrick against a Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga's very best.
You seem to have forgotten that FC Barcelona decimated a team coached by Sir Alex twice, in which Messi won MOM both times. In case it skipped your knowledge, Sir Alex's Orthodox coaching is the very epitome of English football (defend, run, run, cross, and score). I say this with all due respect.

You seem to forget Messi's single handed ruthlessness against Assnal, Man city, Chelsea, and recently Tottenham.

And more importantly, Barcelona has not played possession as much as we used to in the days of Pep, Xavi, and co. But Messi's relevance to the team has not reduced when we play direct football. Lucho, and Valverde are proofs that Messi can play in a team that plays direct football and still be relevant. In fact, since barca started playing less possession, Messi has been the focal point of our play. Hence the tag, pass to Messi Fc.

How then is it logical to conclude that all of these performances against EPL's best teams should be neglected, but instead he should play against a relegated stoke city coached by Mark Hughes?

I am embarassed for you Lord Adam.

And finally,
Messi is the reason why Barcelona is still relevant in Europe till date. Something no other player can boast of! His fiercest rival, Oponunaldo has done well to prove himself in Man Utd, Real, and now Juve (All respect to him). But these clubs have done just well after he left.
Man Utd only started to fall apart after Ferguson's retirement, Real Madrid will do just fine without him. In fact, they became only relevant in Europe due to Zidane's management which was simply to get the ball to oponunaldo in the 18 yard, while all he had to was tap in. This is not to discredit his hardwork, I'm just stating the obvious.

Remove Messi from this barca, all you have left is Marcelo Bielsa's Atletic Bilbao;

LordAdamX:
Dude he beat those clubs playing for Barcelona.

Messi in Barcelona could give a masterclass against Pele's Brazil.

He's played all his life there. Go over to an English club with their preposterous long-ball game and he'd have a tough night against Stoke. It's not an exaggeration.

It's like saying Messi would tear teams up if he went to Italy. Technically he could as Dybala was Juve's highest goalscorer last year, but who's going to give him the space knowing what he's capable of?

Why does Messi choke up in the latter stages of the champions league? No one gives him that space to operate. Giving Messi space to operate is like having a bunch of 5'5'' defenders mark CR7 when crosses are being whipped into the box.

You guys pamper Messi like he needs that sh*t. Of the top 5 GOAT contenders, he's the only one fans like to make excuses for. Pele played as a goalkeeper in some matches (seriously go watch the videos) and was prevented from the leaving Brazilian league by the government at his prime. Maradona played for Napoli. CR7 went from a dominant Man U side that had gone to two UCL finals to a RM side that was struggling to make it to the quarters of the UCL, then left after B2B2B to go win the UCL for Juve at 33. Zidane had to come back from retirement at 34 to play in the 2006 World Cup and led France to the final.

But Messi gets to play from the age of 13 in one club playing one style of football and that's somehow proof he'd cope well in another system, in another league, with a different playing philosophy. Get the f*ck outta here!

That's how he was forming boss against Chelsea last year and his fans in the media were buzzing, then he forgot how to run against Roma and same fans were afraid to pummel him for giving up too easily.

Vector art.. you can call it *Illustrative Designs* too....falls under cartooning

Adobe Illustrator is the perfect software for it, if you're good with CorelDRaw you can also do it.

Before you consider learning these are things you need to have in mind.
You most be a very patient person, cuz it requires a lot of time.

you most know how to draw, without a perfect sketching you'll be frustrated cuz Illustrator can't do it alone.

optionnal one is... you'll need a pen tab for a perfect and less time consuming vector art

LordAdamX:
Maybe it's best if we keep this in the CR7 thread. He may have made the settlement as a Madrid player, but he's not our problem anymore.

Still a huge fan of the guy, he's the G.O.A.T regardless of outcome, but I think we're dealing with enough sh*t in RM right now to want to add some psychotic allegation started, championed, and sustained by individuals with an axe to grind and are looking for a pay day about a legend who doesn't wear the all white anymore.

Guy, you really need to spank your "kini-kan" for always allowing opportunists to have their way

Before this event happened, I have been doubting the authenticity of the Word of God and all I believed was that Christianity is a fake religion due to the great commotion in it. For example, the Holy Bible is filled with lots of contradictions, lies, errors, blasphemies and confusions. How can a true Word of God contain all these dear brothers and sisters? I was woken up from my unconciousness this morning by my mum and was surprised when I saw many people around me looking sadly and many were having snakes on their heads, some had horns and many more were spitting out fire!

I ran away from the crowd but sadly people around began to say am mad but am not I know what I 've seen!
