Why does Messi have to “prove” it in the premier league??? Do you really think he would struggle against Burnley, Hull, Stoke, Wigan, Everton, Portsmouth, Wolves, West Ham, Villa, Birmingham City etc???? Hes already proved he can destroy United (when they had Ronaldo)…. and was MOTM against Chelsea in 3 champions league games out of 4.

Its not like he would be out-muscled… ive never seen him knocked off the ball. Ronaldo spends far more time on the ground.

I honestly cant think (apart from free-kicks) of any element of his game that Ronaldo is superior at over Messi. Good player tho, he is obviously is.

i know we’ve had this argument many a time, but Ronaldo has been class for Real, unlike Kaka, who is in my opinion one of the most over rated players in world football today. When ever I’ve watched him in a Real shirt he either falls over and lays on the floor as if he’s been shot or he tries to beat 3 players and loses it.

Back onto topic though, who would would you rather have in your team? Messi or Ronaldo? Until Messi does it in the Premier League I’d have to say Ronaldo. The bloke is worth every penny of his 80 million.

A very poor attempt at trying to make me take the bait, Darren.

I will give you a mini bite.

Ronaldo can take a free-kick. No doubt. However, he is a mere mortal when you compare him to everyones favourite little Argentine. (who also scored a cracking free kick in midweek). Hence why Messi won the Balon D’Or by a record amount.

mmmm, I doubt it somehow. As much as I hate United you have to respect them. Their injury list is worse then Arsenals, yet they keep winning. It’s very demoralizing for the rest of the league.

Did anyone see Ronaldo’s goal in the Champions League this week? What a player, without a doubt the best and most exciting player in the world!

Once again…. forget about Owen. Leave him be. We didnt win anything with him in the team for the best part of a decade… why bring him back when he is a shadow of his former self.

Man Utd have an injury crisis at the moment, no doubt. But so have Everton (all season), Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Birmingham at varying points. It will be interesting to see how they cope.

I know they have Vidic back but they have the mighty Villa this weekend and i can see a comfortable 3-0 for the claret and blue men at Old Trafford. The likes of Gibson et al, will be shown up for what they really are… mediocre journeymen.

Food for thought for Fab. I’ve been thinking for around a month now that he may indeed take 5 strikers. Especially the way the likes of a few utilitie players are emerging. Wayne Bridge has been poor for me. I’m thinking Milner as back-up for Cole, no bridge and freeing up an extra space up front. Will I take Owen though, if it was tomorrow it’s a hard one.

Sometimes u just have to put yr hands up and say well done to Fergie and Man United, that’s why they are still best side in England. Talk about team spirit, United could sell that in bottles to pay off all the Glaziers debt!
