Messi couldn't make a dent in one of the worst AC MIlan sides ever...what a poor display. But no doubt he will be brilliant at Camp Nou when everything is in his favour. I can see him dancing about the box with unlimited possession, showboating, while being fed by the great Barca midfield, commentators in frenzy. I feel like vomitting right now

A young Scotsman stand alone at the window of a small, dingy room. The only light from within is that of a computer screen, where a single video plays over and over again. Peering into the distance, his vision obscured by tears, he tries to make sense of the footage he has just seen; indeed, he wishes that he had never watched it.

The young Scot turns abruptly and faces his bed, a single, which fiils most of the small room.

"Why?!" he screams, frantically beating at his bed clothes and pillow case, which are adorned in the club emblems of THE Arsenal. He tears at the crumbling walls, ripping down posters of his heroes -- the betrayal consuming his soul, leaving a void that must be filled with rage...and then angst.

The noise of the video becomes greater, the clip still playing over and over. An elderly man is on the screen, his face growing larger as the camera zooms in with each repetition. The question and answer, growing ever louder; the image, growing ever larger.

"Who is the best player of all-time?"

"Lionel Messi."

"Who is the best player of all-time?"

"Lionel Messi."

"Who is the best player of all-time?"

"Lionel Messi."

Glad you take it in good spirit highlander.

Your mob are on in a minute, I'll be flicking between that and the Chelsea game hoping you both drop points! No doubt we'll continue this debate/p1ssing about another time. Catch you later, gentlemen.

look at the league tables, barca scored nearly 100 goals in less than 30 matches, all told scored probably 150 plus, best used to score 25 goals a season, when teams scored only around 60 goals, no wonder messi scoring so much, but please dont get me wrong messi is a wonderful player, but the op asked is messi the greatest footballer ever , no.

Hi MUG signing in, so the clowns on here think messi is the best player the world has ever seen? apologies please.
