Interesting! U wan start another baseless debate...


Lampard is not Xavi's mate when it comes to Mastering the Midfield...

I thought someone would mention Scholes, Pirlo and co. There can be a debate because they are also generals of the midfield. But when you start bringing the likes of Lampard(a very good player & legend of his club) to the same sentence with Xavi I can see the reason he couldn't answer me himself.

bigkesh:
Pedro >Robben??
Pique >Stam??
Alba > Carlos??
Iniesta>Maradona

Now I know why you could not answer my question sir.
You will never see any barca fan here or anywhere in the world talk about what you typed. I mean nobody!

dmcdad:
As in ehn... Even at his peak he was not taking his deserved glory, but rather attributed it to an unknown and unproven genius.

Baba Dinho... I still struggle to see any footballer as selfless and as humble as you.

Talk of a legend!

bigkesh:
Greatest CM of all time?? Continue

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.

Happy birthday legend xavi. The greatest midfielder of this century



Here's a throwback pix of him admiring the ucl trophy; a trophy he'll later come to win 4 times

#respect

My all round best player(both football wise and character) of all time in the world!

"If football was a science, Xavi would have discovered the formula. With a ball at his feet, no one else has ever communicated so intelligently with every player on the pitch.”
Jorge Valdano

People ask me every year who [I'd] take out of the Barcelona team to give us a better chance of winning and every year I tell them the same: Xavi. His control and use of the ball make him their best player.” Iker Casillas

Xavi is eternal. Even when he is not at his very best level physically, he plays a kind of football that gives oxygen to a team, play, speed. It makes me sad to think that I won’t be able to watch Xavi [in Europe] for more time. He’ll always have that level. He is football. He is one of those players that has made Barcelona what it is today.” thiago Alcantara

He is the best Spanish player of all time and the finest midfielder of his type I have seen. Growing up, the midfield orchestrators were Lothar Matthaus and Frank Rijkaard. More recently, we have marvelled at Juventus’s Andrea Pirlo, who will be trying to ruin Xavi’s send-off on Saturday night. We don’t make players of that type in Britain. Xavi, however, is on another level." Jamie Charragher.

Happy birthday to a living legend, a milli-metric passer, my greatest CM of all time.
Sebod!

lol i stopped doing that when i found out those guys still keep grudges over some trollings that happened 50 yrs ago


well am back on this thread but things are going too sweet for me to post here

Na so we see am ooooo. Our dear team keeps spoiling us with brilliant performance here and there. The team's poor performance by our standard is the best others are even craving for. Nobody dey even analyse play again.
Talk about the best club in the world!

nonsoroyalty:
i miss krasid and his childish comparisions

The same way we miss you and your wahala with Chelsea fans you don even carry your tent go pitch for Chelsea thread

calculator123:
u seem to forget the father who i believe like money die.

He would have joined Madrid instead of Barca if money was the driving factor considering how much Madrid tabled before him.

calculator123:
barca the surest club at thr moment....neymar going to mamu or RM which of which?

Neymar is going nowhere. You don't have to believe every speculation. Even Messi has been linked to many clubs all these while.

calculator123:
i hope and pray.by the way,wherr is suarez

Their headache!

dmcdad:
As much as some of their players mess up, especially Walcott. But na Ozil own pain me pass. The guy just dey play wrong passes like say him dey drink water.

Them play the first half without intent. E just be say na Chelsea them play, else e for be total extinction.

I believe they will step up come February with all their best legs bringing their A game because I can't afford to watch a one sided affair.

calculator123:
our next game against ATM will be tough knowing fully well their defence has been super impressive.21 games and conceded 8 that just brilliant.hope MSN comes to the party.

Trust the big guys to always show up when it matters. Neymar is their tormentor while Messi is their nightmare.

dmcdad:
Really? Maybe my eyes deceived me then. But, are you sure Hazard ain't giving him some of those invisible pills he has been taking?

dmcdad:
I heard Zidane didn't feature Ronaldo in that game. Why would he leave him out in such crucial game especially as they needed a vital goal?

Really? But I saw a guy in jersey no.7 either falling down in the box, running endlessly or taking a shot at sight from any range.

dmcdad:


Or as sebod said, ANNIHILATION

I just dey pity them as I dey watch the acclaimed best players in their individual positions.

homesteady:
Atletico Madrid have only conceeded 8 goals this season? and we scored 2 of the goals oh.

Then during that their stupid award, they would give Ramos best defender again! Rubbish.

Let them continue as that's the only consolation they have since they are incapable of winning trophies.

femiti:
....wil b interestn to c aw d 2nd half plays out. I go too sleep well if madrid drop points tonyt

You now have your sleeping pill. Enjoy your sleep.

philfearon:
This was a very tough week in Laliga..
Every other team in the top 4 drew except us. Not to mention the fact that similar fate would have befallen us......... And then there was Messi!
Up Barca jare!

That's what you get when you have the G.O.A.T in your team.

jstbeinhonest:
Its over 1 1 ,hahahaha.....the match was soooo long.Madrid's goal was offside sef.

As in ehn, one would think I was a Betis fan.

barackohandso:
If they can get a draw it'll be like a cup win for them

Yes! They got the deserved draw.

Barca- Madrid =4-0
Barca- Betis = 4-0
Madrid-Betis.= 1-1

Real Madrid = Betis.

femiti:
...aw long cn dy hold off madrid?...time will tell

They have done it in the 1st half, and if they continue the way they played in the 1st half, the best Madrid can get is draw. Not as if Madrid are playing anything special either.

Betis doing me proud now, who saw that jaw drubbing goal against Navas?
I just hope they can maintain the spirit to the end.

Betis doing me proud now, who saw that jaw drubbing goal against Navas?

Our Suarezitooooooooo is 29 years today. Let's wish him a happy birthday




Happy birthday to the world's best striker


What's your best Suarez goal in a Barca shirt? Mine is his winning strike against real madrid in the clasico at camp nou last season. It was ecstatic

Happy birthday to our very own, L. Suarez!
Perhaps the only player not yet tagged average because he's proved himslef in the epl before joining the best club to live his dreams.

I have always had difficulty trying to pin down his best goal for us amid the great and wonderful goals he's scored. Maybe my best three would be;
3. His second goal against Luiz in the. Match vs PSG
2. His match winning goal against Madrid.
1. The bicycle kick against Levante.

Chelseafan1:
This is what we go thru almost every week as Chelsea fans

I feel your pain bro. I believe it's a passing phase. I felt more than you are feeling now in the last days of Frank Rijkaard as our coach.

We had two bad halves, but winning is all that matters. I doubt if I saw Suarez all through the second half. It was just not his day just as every other player on the field.
Thanks to the magic of the G.O.A.T even though I'm not surprised because that's why he's the greatest.

All in all, na 3 points matter and we don put am for bag.

dmcdad:
No mind coded. Doubting Neymar since the days of yore.

Little wonder he was the first to tag him a YouTube player on this very thread. I'm happy the dude is proving him and others wrong as the days go by.

I guess coded would have preferred Bale who is still not worthy enough to lace Neymar's boots.

You mean Bale the most expensive player?
Tottenham would wish they could be producing such players regularly for Madrid.

According to Dayo "kiku ma pa maga mi"

SIRcumalot:
ollah1 and bykebyke don dey see this neyMar issue from my end. he won't remain in Spain same way zlatan was denied a move to r.Madrid.
Dmcdad when is this passing of the torch going to actually take place? Messi na like 27 yes with no sign of decline at all.

If I were a Man U fan, I would also dream of seeing Neymar wearing my adored club's jersey. Who wouldn't want such a marvellous player that was once tagged a you tube player that many believed would flop in Europe? So bro, dreaming is always allowed.

coded01:
Just wait as boys go wake up to come defend am...

So you believe Ney would switch allegiance to Madrid abi?

ollah1:
I don't trust that guy, likewise his dad. I feel he wants to earn more than Messi which isn't possible at Barca. Madrid is tryna use the financial issues surrounding barca coupled with his transfer saga to unsettle him and make him switch sides but if he does he will so much hate himself cos he is still young and the world today is different from the world during Figo's era.

Lol..... relax bro, Ney ain't going anywhere.
He can't be asking for a better pay than Messi as he too knows his idol still remains the undisputed number 1 not only in the club but in the entire world.
If it's all about the money, he wouldn't have signed for Barca in the 1st place as Madrid offered a better and higher package to him. Talking with Madrid is just a way of setting the club on her toes in getting him a better deal, this you would agree happens every now and then.
If Ney wants to leave Barça, it's easier going to other clubs outside spain than going to Madrid. But the question is, why would Ney want to leave Barça when it's obvious he's not money freaked as evident by turning Madrid down in favour of Barca? If you say it's because he wants to be the number one in the world, then I'll tell you the best place to get that is where he's presently plying his trade. He can only be competing against Messi if he leaves and that would not still guarantee him the spot as long as the god is still around. So, the best is what he's currently doing, learning and playing with the master knowing fully that the stage is already set up for him to become the best.
So, relax bro, we are yet to see his best in the best club in the world.
