i'm not bothered by it. If that's how a team needs to play to get a result by good defending and organisation all the more to them.

I was just pointing out they were bus parking thats all lol.

Sweats for some reason didn't like people saying Swansea were parking the bus (whatever that means in his world).

Hell Chelsea parked the bus to a CL trophy when we won it

It means nothing in my world bud (I'm not Sweats), which was kind of my point.

You can work it out from there yourself.
 
Bristol get one back, but that’s only because City have taken their foot off the gas.

No need to humiliate Bristol.

So you support another club cos your own club can't touch him?

You really are a length pal.

A length of what?

And why?

I’ve supported Spurs since I can remember, Tel.

Plus, I lived within touching distance of the Lane.

Where did you grow up, Tel? Surrey, yeah?

I still rate him higher than Ronaldo. Maybe he doesn’t score as many, but he creates so much, and defenses are terrified of him.

I’m old enough to remember Best, Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, etc...they were all great, great players. But the time alone that Messi has spent at the very top of the game and is still a major force to be reckoned with, makes him the best, IMO.

Ronaldo isn't the team player that Messi is, but I don't view that as a negative for Ronaldo, I actually see it as one of his biggest strengths. Ronaldo takes responsibility in games and leads from the front.

When you watch him play, especially in the big games, like in the Champions League knockout stages you just get that impression that it's Ronaldo v the opposition, and not Real Madrid. He's like a 1 man juggernaut determined to win.

What he did in last seasons Champions League was quite honestly super human. The top goal scorer usually scores most of his goals against the weak sides in the group stages, but not Ronaldo. 5 against Bayern in the QF, 3 against Atletico in the Semi, and then 2 In The final against a Juve team that Neymar, Suarez and Messi couldn't open up in 180 mins of football.

Who is the best overall I wouldn't want to call it, as Messi was super human too, around 2012, but Ronaldo for me has definitely been the better player in recent years, as he's produced in big games more than Messi has.

You think Messi is better than the likes of Maradona, Pele, Cruyff and Best, and I'd defenitely agree with you, but I think Ronaldo is also better than those 4, for the same reasons you rate Messi so highly. His longevity has been equally as impressive. His first to his latest Ballon Do'r have been 9 years apart.

The funny thing is with the pair of them, had the other one not been around, there would be literally no doubt as to who the greatest player of all time was, as one of them would have 9 or 10 Ballon Do'rs, as they always finish 1st and 2nd.

That's why I think the 2 of them are in a league of their own, and along way clear of the rest.

Pele never proved himself in Europe, and in all likelihood scored most of his goals against low level opposition.

Whilst the likes of Maradona, Cruyff and Best, as great as they where, just can't match up to the numbers and records being set by Ronaldo and Messi.
