Messi - Liverpool are our biggest rivals

[matty]

From an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport:

 

Q: Who is your most dangerous rival in Europe?

 

A: If I have to choose, it's Liverpool. They have Torres, Gerrard, Kuyt, Mascherano, and they're difficult to play against. Perhaps there are teams that play better, but I see them in the final in Rome.

a come and get me plea if ever I saw one...

[Cobs]

mockering little c***

[psl]

Nice little mention for Dirk.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Messi can f*** off putting us in the same box as his lot. We're bigger and better

[Tones]

Nice little mention for Dirk.

 

Oh what does he know. A lot of our fans say he isnt good enough and they know better than Messi, and Torres, oh and Rafa.

[The Hitman]

It's only an interview, but it shows how far we've come.

 

When Ged got the boot,could any of us imagine that in 4/5 (?) years time the best player in the world would be saying that we were their main competition for the European Cup?

[Redray]

No doubt he still feels we play in a ugly way.

 

"The first leg was weird, even the goals they scored were weird," said the teenager. "The problem we have is that most of our opponents play in an ugly way, waiting for us to leave gaps at the back, and then counter-attack us.

Nice little mention for Dirk.

An immense European goal scoring record is the likely reason why.

[Sion]

They're nowhere near our biggest rivals.

Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Real, Inter all worry me more.

[_00_deathscar]

Inter definitely do now they've got Mourinho.

Just for a second there dared to allow myself to consider what it would be like to contest the European Cup final in May next year having secured the Premier League title.

[CarraLegend]

Inter dont bother me in the slightest, we'd completely shut them down, every attacker theyve got is capable of being absolutely abysmal aswell and if it coincides with Mancini, Quaresma and Zlatan all having one of their "off days" they'd be no threat whatsoever. Madrid are alright but they'll leak to many goals. Barca will be a threat playing like they are but we'll see if they sustain it, it's just the 3 English clubs I hate drawing, they're the biggest threat and its f***ing boring playing someone from your league in this competition I cant stand it. Though it's obviously great when you go through.

A boyhood red too!

[Hassony]

Messi and aguro to join us in the summer

[Ronnie Whelan]

Messi and aguro to join us in the summer

[AE]

Messi and aguro to join us in the summer

 

It would never happen, but oh my, what a dream that would be.....

[carrafan]

Too lightweight. Will never fit in...

[jimmylibel]

But where are we going to play Kaka then?

[Hassony]

But where are we going to play Kaka then?

 

Kaka will be loaned out to crewe for 6 months

[AE]

*** Kaka, we have Gerrard.

[kop205]

Kaka will be loaned out to crewe for 6 months

 

Treated like a dog.

[Earl Hafler]

Too lightweight. Will never fit in...

 

1 ) Comparisons with Zola

2 ) Messi signs for us, flops in the first month

3 ) " Henry took time, as did Ronaldo. "

4 ) he moans about the weather and he can't settle

5 ) " Little t*** can piss off back home - overrated anyway. "

 

 

 

There - no need to sign him

A few months ago i'd have said the only time Kuyt should be mentioned in the same sentence as the other 3 was when the teams were being read out. All credit to the lad.
