Sassy Colin
Death or the gladioli!
Sorry, I forgot that.What else gets forgotten is Napoli won the UEFA Cup back when it meant something with Maradona at the forefront. They beat Juventus and Bayern on the way to the final against Stuttgart

Enjoy your ban
It most definitely is a debate, as is evident from the, erm, debate.This debate between Maradona and Messi, isn't even a debate. Not only did Maradona inspire Argentina to the World Cup, but, during his time at Naples, they won the league twice, the first and second time they ever won it. The other 2 years they were second.
Messi's achievements don't even begin to match up to that.
So you say you can't compare players in 2 different generations and then go on to ask how a player would perform in 2 different generations?You can’t compare Maradona to Messi.
Different generations and they’re both in the top 2-3 players in them.
The debate to be had, is how great Diego would have been in today’s game?
thanks for knowing better what I did than I doThere's no way you watched Maradona play in the 86 world cup and the thought that came to your mind was that he's great but no Pele or Cruyff.
does anyone find your passive aggressive b/s attractive?yes, "some" people think he was a legend
like "some" people think the world is round
and very galant of you to "accept" it
Fake.Someone sent me pictures of one of them, dumped in a rubbish container :0(
Maradona and Pele together wouldn't have made this happenSo you say you can't compare players in 2 different generations and then go on to ask how a player would perform in 2 different generations?
You can't have it both ways, make your mind up!
My point was that Maradona was an inspiration to his international teammates and was the reason Napoli won anything at all.
Messi's career at international level pales next to that of Maradona. Messi's club career can only be compared to Ronaldo's, but could he have inspired Stoke to be PL champions?
How about a Sam Allardyce managed Bolton Wanderers then?Maradona and Pele together wouldn't have made this happen
Nope. Nobody is helping these teams to titles. People love a good old myth.How about a Sam Allardyce managed Bolton Wanderers then?
Naples won the league twice and came 2nd twice and also won in Europe. That was largely down to one man.Nope. Nobody is helping these teams to titles. People love a good old myth.
And Hellas Veronas also won Serie A in those years. It's a great achievement for Napoli, the team, Maradona their star player, but it was a different era and league. He wouldn't be guiding Stoke to any titles.Naples won the league twice and came 2nd twice and also won in Europe. That was largely down to one man.
i don't care how old you claim to be, this is one of the most embarrassing posts in the entire history of the cafI accept some people think he was a legend, but to me wasn't close to Cruyff or Pele - and Ronaldo is streaks ahead
Fake newsJust after reading the funeral workers who took the pictures of him in his coffin have been murdered by the Boca Ultras . Job done then.
Diego was a god not just a football player
Get over it FFSSomeone losing their life is always a sad occasion, but I will never, ever forgive him.
The day you have the power to enforce a ban will be the day I start worrying.Enjoy your ban
I presume that was meant to be a question. If so, I can only answer that I am alive and able to post on here, which he cannot.Well I have been drinking...
Also, I would take Maradona's 60 years of excess, ecstasy and adulation over some random existence. Heck, I'd take 60 years just to see my country lift the World Cup, nevermind winning the bloody thing as a captain and then sniffing yourself into oblivion after. Sounds like a fecking dream.
You're the one here, giving it the bigg'un, telling us you'll never forgive him whenever you're just a grain of sand on the Atlantic ocean, he didn't even know who the hell you were when you were a spec of dust, now that he's dead, where does that leave you in his estimation. I know one thing, he lived rent free in your head for 30+ years.
is that your opinion (you know, like my opinion) or some sort of new law?i don't care how old you claim to be, this is one of the most embarrassing posts in the entire history of the caf
Looks like i was wrong, ''Mr Maradona'' wasn't living rent free for 34 years in just the head of Peter Shilton...Can I just ask all these lovers/fans of Mr Maradona whether they agree with the use of drugs when performing?
He admitted to it.
Yeah watched it, really good watch.BBC showing a recap of the 86 WC now.
As well as Maradona, you get a good Brazil team, a good France team (just coming to the end), the best Belgium team before now, an ok Italy team, a good Germany team.. some really good games in that WC too.
One of my favourite tournaments
He used ephedrine to lose weight. It didn't enhance his performance. Also he was coked up to the gills whilst ripping up Serie A. Cocaine can cause respiratory problems and thus affect fitness. I'm impressed he was any use at all, let alone being the best player in the league.Can I just ask all these lovers/fans of Mr Maradona whether they agree with the use of drugs when performing?

Yes, I fully agree with his drug use while performing.Can I just ask all these lovers/fans of Mr Maradona whether they agree with the use of drugs when performing?

Of course not.Cocaine is not a performance enhancer?
You do realise that Ephidrine is amphetamine do you not? I like the fact that you you are impressed that a man up to his eyes on various types of speed who broke all the rules, but 'played well is some kind of hero figure'. I do hope you do not have children or anyone else that looks to you for any kind of guidance. I presume you find Ben Johnson a hero figure too.He used ephedrine to lose weight.

Cocaine is actually a respiratory and vasodilatory stimulant when used in correct medicinal quantities and not taken as a recreational drug. I have given it many times as a precursor to nasal surgery and have never noticed any respiratory problems at all.
Three or four others have used that totally redundant phrase already and they have not looked or sounded clever either. If you wish to insult me, then invent your own material, not copy other brain dead idiots who are defending a self confessed drug cheat.Looks like i was wrong, ''Mr Maradona'' wasn't living rent free for 34 years in just the head of Peter Shilton...
I'm done talking to you. You just make shit up as you go along. I worry for your patients because I genuinely think you don't have a clue. Cocaine a performance enhancer?

Maradona must have taken a dump right in his hotel room straight after putting England to the sword back in 86. Only reason I can think of as to why he's so bloody obsessed with him.Seriously
get out of this thread
he has other threads to threw up against maradona, but he decides to do it in the RIP oneMaradona must have taken a dump right in his hotel room straight after putting England to the sword back in 86. Only reason I can think of as to why he's so bloody obsessed with him.
Who's wife?Maradona shagged his wife.
