Whether it be among Man United fans, or football fans in general, what unpopular opinions do you have relating to football?
Scott Parker isn't that good.
I wouldn't say that's an unpopular one, since most would agree.

On this board maybe, but elsewhere he is championed.
Rafael being a great right back. No matter what channel I put on there is always someone slating him.
Really? Take a look around other forums and you'll see that most would agree that he's not that good and is actually no more than decent after all. Only the media and some Spurs fans will really try to tell you that he's a top player.
Alan Smith wasn't all that bad for us.
That's probably true regarding other forums, although I don't really tend to visit them. I suppose in general people that feel compelled to post on a football forum are more knowledgeable than others. Certainly if you canvas opinion from the man in the pub or colleagues in the office and, as you say, the media, players like Parker are always talked about favourably over more subtle players like Carrick.
That Barcelona's style of play bores me to tears.
Thierry Henry was very good, but overrated. As was Arsenal's 2004 side, who only won a single trophy and have never retained the league title. Which is the hallmark of a great side.

Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi.

Not really unpopular these days. I've grown tired of watching them and I have heard a few pundits saying the same on tv/radio last few months.
If Ronaldo played for Barcelona and Messi for Madrid then everyone would be wanking over Ronnie instead of Messi because Barca win a lot of cups.
I would agree with you about the second part on the Arsenal team. Yes, what they did was incredible and a brilliant achievement, but their points total itself wasn't all that great. I'd rate what Chelsea did in the league the next year above what Arsenal did in 2004, as they comfortably amassed a higher points total than them. That's not to say that the invincibles weren't a great side, because they were, but I can see how they're overrated.

That Tom cleverley isn't as good as everyone seems to think....
