Andres Iniesta is the second best player in the world. Why oh why do the media insist on brainwashing themselves that this isn't the case? :iniesta:

Is it just me, or is he, like, way worse than Ronaldo now? :lol:

4-2 to barca.

This is something (tv replays) that annoys me a lot. A few other points: ~With goals they will show only (with the odd exception) the few seconds leading up to, and including, the goal- even if a great play (be it an amazing tackle, piece of skill, pass etc) happened to kick start it, but it...

True, he pressed well and wouldn't leave us alone on the ball. However, it was a bloody disgrace he wasn't booked. There were 3 or 4 blatant fouls, checks or pull backs that were clear yellows- and then the persistent fouling all round. At times I got more pissed off of what he was getting away...

Sanchez?? You guys confuse me sometimes, he had a decent game- but not top 3. And bugged me to no end with diving and simulating. 1. Iniesta (By miles) 2. Puyol (Only a decent first half hour, but overall was amazing) 3. Alves / Messi (Messi involved in everything, underrated performance...

Apart from the goal Cesc was pretty 'meh'- and gave the ball away often, and disrupted rhythm. Iniesta Xavi Pique HM for Messi - had an average game, but credit for an equalizing goal in stoppage time to salvage a point- IMO always more impressive than a hattrick (penalty included) during a...

^ It was me... Cuz we're best friends. Thats right, Leo Messi is my Best. Friend. I mean, I didn't hold him at gunpoint or anything... and it certainly wasn't right beside my Messi Shrine. >> <<

Pfffftttt Pepe of Real Madrid, clearly. How can you not see he is the best player...like...evar?!

As one of the greatest. As up there with the greatest. I just don't think we'd be saying Maradona is the greatest. Honestly, I know that sounds mad. It's simply true that football is harder in this era, due to the increase in quality of defenders, strategy etc. Also the quality of players as a...

@Bilal Khan I love that Iniesta/Xavi hybrid picture. And actually, if I can go all gay a moment, I think Xaviesta is a rather good looking man! @Henry, I agree. As great as Pele etc were, I think the quality of football has dramatically improved and (I may be setting myself up for ridicule)...

I've said it upteen times, and just thought I'd pop in to say it again. Has the second best* pure ball control (ie, control, dribbling, ball manipulation etc) in the world. Is one of a trio of greatest passers in the world. Is one of the most creative players in the world. Is perhaps the most...

Xavis off the ball movement and positional play is the best in the world by miles. This is average xavi during a game, over about a minute (while almost always constantly moving, analyzing play and moving accordingly): *glance left* *glance right* *jog a touch back into more space* *glance...

....it looks like a dwarf in a Barca kit is trying to climb up Gerard Piques anus. O_O What is that?

This somewhat depicts how I feel. We have so much versatility now. Messi can play as a Fake Striker/ CAM behind either Villa/Pedro and Sanchez, or all three of them :O (Which would leave either Xavi or Iniesta on the bench, as Busi would be vital for defensive stability). With our new...

2-3 years? How awesome would it be if he was with us long term? Like, a 10yr+ managerial term :D

Busquets is an underrated player- and as a player a love him. His on the pitch personality leaves a lot to be desired though. He's dirty. There I said it. Simulation, diving etc ie cheating. Wish he'd tone it down a bit. Both him and Alves. However, he's a great freakin player adn deserves more...

Ah lol. Absolutely agree on the hardworking thing. Credit where it is due. I know he still goes clubbing and that, but of course that doesn't mean he's drinking there.

Whos carefree? o_O Anyhow- I repeat: ronaldos physicality is at the center to his effectiveness as a footballer. (at the center, not the only thing, so dont jump on me and fanboys out there lol ><) Players whos effectiveness are based majorically on skill, ability and intelligence are always...

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree. I just think he last that wee bit longer than people think. If he can learn to adopt his game when the times comes, even longer- but he's not a player I really believe could do that efficiently. Its absolutely correct that ronaldos physicality is at the center to...
