Are you seriously questioning if possibly the greatest player EVER doesn't quite cut it because he'd be a shit centre half or goalkeeper?

:lach:

He'd still be better than Arsenals keepers and he's about 5'4.

That Thierry Henry lad was a rubbish fullback, not in the same league as Ashley Cole.

:lach:

After your sarcasm and self-congratulatory laughter smily you completely missed the point, of course Messi is the best forward/midfielder as I already said. Naturally you have to put Liverpool/Gerrard somewhere in your post even though they had no connection with this year`s competition, or next year`s come to that. :butt:

Forwards are always going to get the plaudits.

A keeper is never going to be classed as the best player in the game.

I mentioned Gerrard as at his peak he was the best alround player going IMHO, but the likes of Kaka won the awards because they did a few more tricks and flicks.

I also mention Gerrard as he has won the competition, unlike Arsenal.

Liverpool`s finest still conceded more goals (only 1 admittedly) than Arsenal in this year`s league.

You mentioned Gerrard because you are fixated on all things Liverpool.

Cheer up Big Boy, at least you`ve got a derby against Torquay to look forward to. When did that last happen?

Fortunately, I never get down about football. When you've supported the Green Army as long as I have, you know that some seasons are going to be crap, while other seasons are going to be fantastic. It's just unfortunate that there have been 3 crap seasons on the bounce this time :cry:
Championship Plymouth Argyle 1 - 2 Leeds Utd :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Points 46; Position 23 RELEGATED :cry: :cry:

Not true, I was there when we won the Inter Cities Fairs Cup. And did you know that according to FA calculations Arsenal were the most successful club in the 1900`s.
