red devil Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Re. Messi...a lot of paper talk abouth whether Messi is the greatest player ever...I think it's futile to compare players from different eras, the game is continually evolving, all you can be is the best of your era, and Messi is certainly that.

That Telegraph article has just grabbed one bit and blown it up in to a "story".He has been quite open about things, and the way Liverpool handled it all.

It was also his 8th hat trick of the season! Unbelievable.

POAK Salonika if my memory serves me correctly and I was there too. We were playing with kids throughout the whole competition. We weren't interested in the Europa League.Just got to mention that I thought Stevenage were fantastic last night but class prevailed in the end. Defoe has got to play more often. He scored another two fabulous goals last night and a superb backheeled 'goal' that was disallowed for offside. Also feel deeply sorry for Michael Dawson who was carried off in the 3rd minute with ruptured ankle ligaments. It's another bad one for him after coming back recently from another horrible injury.

El Pibe Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm glad you got to enjoy the nidge last night Jah.We've had a good few cup runs in the past, though now that we're suddenly in the dizzy heights of league one it's looking slightly less impressive than in our conference days (not long behind us, conceivably not long ahead of us as these things often go).I do hope we can bed down in League one, and try to build momentum for a stab at the championship. We've played some pretty good footie down broadhall way over the years and even seen a couple of our players in World Cups (remember the bandana clad Nigerian Efeter Sodje anyone?).Not to mention the mighty Barry Hayles, or non-league Ian Wright as he was known before being propelled, somewhat mystifyingly, into the premiership with Fulham.

Alan Medic Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 .....and I doubt that he did as the ref in an attempt to diffuse any possible situation changed the running order. Instead of MU walking down the line of Pool players as is usually done when a team is at home, the reverse happened. Evra is hardly likely to have known that the night before.

God enough already!), as Evra definitely drops his hand when Suarez gets to him - I think it was more instinctive (as I said before - a playground thing) than planned but it is there.

murphy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I can't believe that the powers that be at Liverpool haven't just told everyone not to comment on the Suarez issue. I think Liverpool underestimate how much damage to their reputation the Suarez affair has caused. Palace fans have a poll running for the most unpopular manager at the moment and Dalglish is miles ahead of all the other managers (apart from Fat Sam who has had a few digs at Palace), no history between Palace and Liverpool, just how he acted over Suarez.

Otta Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 ?The evidence was Luis?s word against Evra?s,? argued Johnson. ?I?m not sayingEvra is lying but it?s his word against Luis?s,isn?t it? So how did it all turn out to be sostrong in Evra?s favour? I work with the ladevery day. There is no way he said that. That is exactly how I've always felt about this case, and I think GJ comes over as quite mature. Whatever happened on the day (WHICH NONE OF US KNOW) if there is an accusation of racism, it tends to stick, whether proven or not.Anyway, cheers for bringing it up again RD, I can hardly wait for UDT's inevitable input.
