LINTUNE: what has 7 ballondor Don for the team, how has it benefited the team as a whole...Messi has outlived hmhis purpose in the world of football, let him resign and perhaps go into coaching,he's a big flop and a waste of resources to any club that has him in her team..
By saying 7 ballon dors i mean Messi is bigger than PSG.

lol See this one!
Because Ronaldo has what?
12 goals in 28 games?
He scored a hatrick and all of a sudden he's the saviour of football!
Nonsense!
*Just pray Ronaldo wins the champions league for Man U. *Just pray Ronaldo takes Man U to 4th spot. *Just pray Ronaldo qualifies Portugal for World Cup.
Since he is the one who is still useful to football.
If he does not do all these ehn, i will find you..
LINTUNE: if you have nothing else to say,y not STFU, what do u mean, do u know the number of legends psg has produced..the amount Messi and Neymar collects weekly is enough to pay the salary of a whole team for a year, so definitely more is expected from them, by u can imagine the disappointment...if not for mbampe they won't even have hope of winning the ligue 1.
If not for Mbappe?
Now tell me;
How many shots has Mbappe saved in the post? How many tackles has Mbappe made? How many crosses has Mbappe made? How many times has Mbappe assisted himself to score?
Mbappe is not a defender or midfielder for PSG. He is PSG's striker, he is put upfront to score goals for the team.
24brains: messi was brought in to make a difference and help them win this season. But all the hope and expectations on him was a mess. You are Just like buhari blaming goodluck for the failures of 9ja.
We voted him to make a change. PSG bought messi at a high price to make a change. "he whom much is given, much is expected"
This one thinks that football is like impregnating a woman.
PSG bought Messi so all other big teams like Bayern, Madrid and City will just go to sleep!
Never happened with Barca fans...I remember saying this last few days that Messi seem lost playing for PSG... I think Messi should reconsider his decision about playing for PSG...
I think Messi will see out his contract regardless.
And i think he might get a year extension, then probably play in the USA or Argentina.
And as for his output; fans would always be fans. Some always supportive, some always idiotic..
Most of them never kicked a football and so don't know what it's like to play at a club for 20 years and then transfer to another club. They don't know the psychology behind that. 20 years not 10!
A lot has happened to him in the last 6 months;
*He's switched clubs after 20 years plus at Barca. *He's flown to and fro South America at least 4 times for international duties. *He's caught Covid 19.
Despite all that he's been okay, the only thing really lacking in his game for now is goals. He's been creating, assisting, dropping deep, passing. He's been unlucky and hit the post many times, even today he made a superb run and his curler hit the post.
Even today he was the chief creator of 2 of PSG's 3 goals without even having the assist to his name
And he's not PSG's point man, Mbappe is! And Mbappe being the great player he is, would naturally take the shine cus he's the point man upfront.
I think he should be professional and not make any farce of it. I don't think there's any player who hasn't been booed by his own fans. If my memory is right, i think he was once booed at the camp nou by a small section.

The truth is that so many factors didn't qualified Tinubu to become apc presidential candidate. One of them is be a Muslim and also South West, moreso, be perceived generally as a corrupt man and many more.
Lol
APC would be very foolish to zone their ticket to any other place other than the South West.
There are many ignorant people in the South South and South East who would rather vote for a Fulani man in PDP than vote for an Ibo man in APC. There are very many of them! Trust me.(they think they hate APC to that extent).
The APC leaders know about that sentiment.
APC cannot leave South West (where they have 5 governors) and go South East (where they have 2 governors who were only out there by the courts) or South South were they have no single governor.
VULCAN: [s]Reading your post I suspected you were an APC urchin.
One of the ways they quickly identify themselves is how they surreptitiously defend Buhari and his failure of a govt.
So I decided to go over your past posts just to be sure.
What did I find.
Nowhere have you expressed any anger at how this country has been ruled for the past 7yrs.
Nowhere did you blame the current party for their rudderless leadership.
Nowhere did you condemn Tinubu for his colonisation of the wealth of Lagos State and his sonsorship of Agbero politics.
But you have condemned just about every opposition figure in Nigeria.
Like this post you have consistently blamed Nigerians for their woes.
On Endsars you blamed the protesters even more than the govt whose actions led to the protest.
You implied Desmond Elliot was right to hold contempt towards the protesters but was not circumspect in making public his feelings. He should have kept shut according to you.
So based on these findings...
I must ask, Are you an APC urchin?
They are characterized by support for this present govt at all cost due to the fact that either they or their benefactor is benefitting from the status quo. Like you have been doing.
They attack or at least undermine anyone who criticises the govt.
Some of them even try to pretend to be objective and attempt to play both sides of the gallery. Like you have been doing.
The saying goes, If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck.
jpmoriarti: The only time I have actually commented about Messi's performances were the number of times I watched him against Madrid and ManCity. I never watched him play against any other team. You can go find my comments. I never comment on things I didn't see with my eyes.
Like I said before, I don't like PSG as a team or a club. Unfortunately, Messi joining them haven't been enough to sway my love. So altogether, I have watched Messi 4 times since he left Barca. Twice each against Madrid and ManCity.
jpmoriarti: I am not arming any troll. I wanted PSG ( a club I detest so much) to win against Madrid yesterday but they went on to throw away a substantial lead. A win yesterday would have given you all the armour needed to defend Messi.
You have to accept that Messi, just like any human being, will reach their career end sooner or later. There is no champion forever. Yes, there may never be another player like Messi but you can see he is no longer the force he once was.
Even Barca that you predicted will take 3 to 4 years before we recover from post-Messi era, is actually looking to spring back to life barely a year after his departure.
Can you beat your chest that this Barca squad cannot challenge for Laliga next season and even more than hold their own in a UCL knock out match?
Your last 2 paragraphs are not part of the discuss but i will answer.
I said it last time that the improvement i see is rather quick and and unexpected but t's a good thing. The energy and pressing is top notch. Let's hope they don't get burned out quickly.
TBH this team i see is still very very much in progress. We can challenge for La Liga of course.
jpmoriarti: Leipzig, Club Brugge?? Like seriously?? Does PSG need a peak Messi to beat these small teams? I only watched their game against City and I was more interested in ManCity winning. And ManCity on that night, deserved to have won but Messi's goal was majestic, not so much his overall performance.
Save yourself from searching. I didn't comment anything Messi.
Well there you have it. It doesn't have to be a big team for you to praise him.
When he performs badly against a "small team" you come here so quickly and eagerly to explain to us how Messi is now a shadow of his old sef..how he needs to step up..., how he has become so tired..
But then when he does well against the same "small team", you do not come here to tell us all about it, how to performed well because "after all it is a small team". Wow..
jpmoriarti: No. It's not about that. I love Messi just like everyone here. My frustrations with him have are all been well documented here.
But you see yesterday match, I wanted to see more. He was in the periphery of the match, with the best plays all passing him by.
To his defence, perhaps he's yet to recover mentally from his sudden departure from the club. Maybe that exit hit him more mentally than we thought.
I don't have any agenda against Messi. I believe I have been fair to him in all my analysis here. I don't also watch the French league. My only chances of seeing him play is usually in the UCL. And I'm yet to be impressed with what I have seen.
Okay no wahala. But i need to confirm something.
On 28th September, 17th October and 9th December, Messi actually had excellent performances against RB Leipzig, Man City and Club Brugge.
Lemme goan check those dates and see whether you commented about his good preformances here.
Benny6944: how far has man utd gone without RONALDO in the past?
Same RONALDO that fired them to the knockout stage with his late goals.. what impact has MESSI made so far in PSG if not defeat and defeat? netting only 2 goals in 19 apps in the league.. lol
and how was PSG without MESSI lol... if it wasn't mbappe goals they would also be struggling in the league lol
jpmoriarti: Them win common one match yesterday, na here everyone of them come occupy, like they played against Barca. You know they have too many kids over there. It is difficult for them to remain in their thread to celebrate. Trolling is like food for them
Bro you sef dey surprise me.
I noticed that whenever Messi probably has a bad game at PSG, you talk about it here, trying to act concerned or objective.
But when he has a good game you don't even talk about it. You don't even remember it.
I just cant understand your agenda with Messi.
Is it that you want to prove that you were right all along that Messi wasn't useful to us??
