No worries. I'll just content myself with raiding XMG's basement.

Sorry didn't realise you were the forum police and you decide who posts or not. Ironic considering you were angry that my opinion was different to yours.

No I'm not the forum police, and I wasn't saying who should post and who shouldn't, I was saying if you don't want to hear reactions to your posts the don't post. But what I'm saying is if I go on a United forum for example, and then say "In my opinion Lescott and Komany are better than Vidic and Rio" of course that will generate a pissed off response, and then I can't turn to those people and say "I wasn't asking for your opinions".

Anyways, I apologize if i came across as rude or angry, the koscielny remark was stupid and heat of the moment thing. it just pissed me off to see a flurry of posts from non Barca fans bashing Puyol and Pique. Again sorry if i was rude at any point.

IMO the only Man U player that would go straight into the Barcelona team is Hernandez.

I mean Vidic, Rio etc etc would all compete well to go into the team, but for me Puyol is a better big game player than Vidic and because of his injuries, Rio is not as good as he once was and as such not as good as Pique.

But I have a feeling man u will win 2-1 anyway Just got that feeling. I think Hernandez is the key player.

Discounting injuries and loss of form, if you take each and every player, on form, firing on all cylinders, then Evra, Rio, Rooney and Hernandez would all have a very good chance of getting into the Barca team. Vidic would be unlucky to miss out but I'd edge Puyol ahead of him.

What about Van der Sar? Obviously VV is more suited to the style of Barca, but VdS is still World-Class at 40 - Top athlete.

No.

 

[FiReFTW]

Yeah but its the same if you flip the coin. Messi and Xavi, would walk into our team, after that your really struggleing to see how anyone else would fit. Its not even a case of who's best, just who fits better into which team.

Iniesta, Alves.

Raids normally occur without the permission of the land owner, L-dizzle.

FWIW, England are fucking crap. Player's like Scholes, Giggs, (I know he's Welsh and I like Wales) and Ferdy should have been born Spanish. Spain probably would been Champions 10 years ago. IMO.

People in England think Gerrard and Lampard played to higher standard to Scholes.

agree on that lampard and gerrard have nothing on scholes and giggs

Top class keeper so yea there's an argument there. I really really rate Valdes though. I think he's one of the most underrated players in world football.

vv is class, i think what's kept him from being put in the same bracket as casillas or buffon was that he had some major cock ups in his time (one too many), though i'm glad to say he's been one of our best and most consistent players for the past 3 years running...

 

[Unbiased United]

Iniesta, Alves.

Whilst I don't dispute their worth I would have to disagree, not for United. Iniesta is class, but I wouldn't touch any of our wingers, and with Messi and Xavi in the middle it leaves no room for him, (I'm assuming 4-4-2). Alves is another close call, but taking all things into consideration I'll stick with Rafeal. He's only 20 and has been quality this season. A little warrior, who is always running up and down the wings all game. Loves playing for United (as does his brother) and I think they will both be our full backs for many years to come.

That the positive about Van derSar, he just doesn't make mistakes, he's so reliable. People say he's our best keeper since Schmeichel, but I disagree. I think he's our best including Schmeichel. ...gutted its his last season. Not taking nothing away from VV though, who is also top quality.

 

[Messi10]

Ferdinand is world class and both he and Vidic IMO are better than Pique/Puyol.

Urrm pique and puyol have won the world cup together. They are better
