Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[Rassvet]

Legs are gone. His dancing is declining.

Relax, he's saving himself for the World Cup

 

[KingLeo10]

while being indifferent to or even against Barca,
ON A BARCELONA FORUM?

If you're referring to me, you've got the wrong guy here.

I know you and Rassvet are buddy buddy these days, but you should probably be cognizant of his actual history on this forum. And how his latest anti-Messi stance is nothing more than a trolling attempt, similar to how 6 months ago he was the number 1 twerker for PSG on this forum (of course, that was trolling too).

And Messi has contributed about an infinity times more to Barcelona than anything you or Rassvet will to Barcelona in your lifetime (or me for that matter so you don't think this is personal). Supporting a player (not against Barca but IN GENERAL) who gave us 1,000 G+A is not a crime and if you want to shame people for supporting Messi in general on a Barcelona forum, you need to do some serious re-evaluating.

1) I am not a footballer, mate.
Your argument is dangerous. It's the "you are not allowed to criticize someone unless you can do it better than him"
Apply this to all domains of life, and see where it leads

2) I honor Messi as part of Barca history, and respect everyone who does the same.
What this has to do with supporting the current Messi in his endeavors away from Barca and at other clubs?
Prob Nothing

3) I explicitly said supporting Messi now AND being indifferent or worse hostile to Barca atm.
There are many like that still here.

Criticism is different than calling Messi a retired player after he just topped Copa America in all statistical attacking categories 3-4 months ago.

If people here claim this current Messi is prime Messi, I would be the first to call them deluded. Is there actually anyone who thinks this? I legitimately cannot name 1 forumite.

No, it's criticism. Why is it different when folk say the exact same thing about Pique for instance?
Maybe it's a kind of criticism that many fanboys don't like, but that's a different issue.
You can't police what is criticism and what is not like that.

Then, there are many who behave as if prime Messi is around, without explicitly saying so
And if you have noticed anything about me in this forum, blind fanboyism is my red flag

There's a difference between constructive criticisms such as him walking in the pitch and not contributing enough defensively and disrespecting/hating a Barca legend such as "retired footballer, who does not even realise himself he is retired"

There's nothing wrong with constructive criticisms when used correctly.

I have typed down your first line of constructive criticism tons of times here.
Pique is also a Barca legend and many of us 'disrespect' (although I would object to the use of the word) him every day here.
What's the difference?

The constructive criticisms that you posted about Messi, I'm fine with.

As you said, it's a totally different issue and posts like those I just usually ignore unless they are really warranted.

Just because many of the users 'disrespect' the legends, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

L M A O

at the pathetic messibois engaging in the most elaborate mental gymnastics to try to deny/run away from messi's steeeeeeep decline not only this year but since like 2017...he has more champions league humiliations than CL trophies at this point, no goals against Real or Atleti since CR was in Real LOL

eibarman gonna eibarman doe, right? except not even because he cant deal with the FRENCH LEAGUE LMAO


maradona the all time GOAT
CR the modern-day and CL GOAT


messi's legacy? crying at half time in Anfield. losing every KO for 5 years in the most pathetic and humiliating way possibe

meanwhile the GOAT cr taking CL trepeats which NOT EVEN prime messi could have DREAMED of

also lets not forget messi didnt win a single CL without the real Barca GOATS xavi and iniesta lmao, whom he robbed of ballon dors

lol imagine picking out 4-6 games in June and colouring the entire year according to that standard. substract 1 match from that actually because messi was trash in the final. meanwhile january-may messi lost the league for the second year in a row, scored noooooooooooooooooooooo goals against top La liga team (messi has for years been Real's biiiiiiitch in the league, a non-factor), won the copa del rey (LOL), had mbappe emasculate him in the camp nou and participated in yet another 5-2 CL humiliation, then from september to December complete and utter inability to influence anything in France to the point now that the french media cant stop attacking his shit performances


copeeeeeee lmao CR goat, older and playing in a league that is actually competitive

 

[BarcaOG]

the hilarious thing is that the messi boi squad here will go to untold lengths to deny the obvious and abundantly clear fact that messi is more than well past it. ibrahimovic is being more impactful in a stronger league and hes 40, lol.

also hilarious how every day you prove my point that most of you arent actually barca fans, only messi fans who happened to support the team he played at. so much so that that absolute clown catalunitz is making posts hoping a PSG player scores like its his religious duty, lmao.

imagine simping this hard for a player thats not even part of our club
