Christiano Ronaldo is so far ahead of the rest it's not funny. He's easily the best player in the world and IMO, will become the greatest player of all time provided he doesn't get hacked down and badly injured by some defender who's had enough of Ron making him look silly.

Kaka would have to be next best then Messi IMO.

If Berbatov wasn't such a Lazy ****, he'd have to be considered close to next in line after those 3.

Messi makes a fair claim, but I'd take Ronaldo ... Kaka has had a better career than both of them (so has Ballack probably for that matter and im sure a few others), but by the time Ronaldo's finished (long way off) I reckon he'll probably have seen those names off.

Yeah, that's what I was saying:

1. Ronaldo
2. Kaka
3. Messi

Then there's a few in the pool behind these 3 - Ballack as CP mentioned, Berbatov, Stevie G and probably about 10 or so others you could chuck in this group that ara a fair way behind the likes of Ronaldo.

I wonder how many Torres' you could buy with a Drogba?? :lol: There's a few questions you could ask about that list ... Cech pre-injury is close to the best keeper I've seen, but has he ever been close to his former self?

How could I forget Torres though?

John Terry # 23. I'm sorry for this little outburst, but how the **** is that USELESS **** even ******* close the the top 100? He is a thug and that's it. No ability, just a dirty thug who happens to be in a good team that make him look better than he really is. :evil:

Boooo!

So you hate the Footballroos and like Chelski.

Good thing you're a Port boy as your real football taste isn't so good mate :D

haha, whats wrong with Chelsea? UEFA Cup and the Premier League is ours! and we'll take the Carling Cup too! :) actually we will take out everything and be done with it... :wink:

also to let you know, i follow Argentina on the international side of things! :D


So you think Chelski will win the UEFA cup HOF. Can only assume you don't think they will get past the group stages of the Champions Leauge then ? As for the Carling Cup. Forget it mate. Abramovich and his cheating millionaires are in for a huge shock come Nov 13th. Remember that date.... Nov 13th. Thats when Chavski will exit the Carling Cup. :wink:

Argentina are crap. I follow the Socceroos (of course) and Cote Di' Iviore.

GO CHELSEA!!!

We wont win the UEFA cup though mate. Maybe you should go back to the AFL forums?



Take no notice of michael, HOF. He's just a grumpy bunny cos I haven't put the EPL tipping results up for this week yet :lol:

You keep on posting in here mate. The more the merrier and if you fancy a punt in the tipping comp, all you have to do is post your predictions in here. No cash invloved, just for fun

Leeds did well to get that far. Its a bit frustrating that Chelsea can never win with stingies (90th Minute Goals, Penalties etc), like Liverpool do all the time.

Have to disagree with you here. I am not a chelsea supporter, but I admire Terry great captain too I think!
How the hell is this man useless and how is he a thug???
Roy Keane maybe percieved as a thug in his time, but this does not mean he was not a great player and one of fav's to watch!
