Take classes, mate. In fact don't bother. You don't have the talent to ever be a writer. One of the worst pieces of fiction I have had the displeasure of reading.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Some of the slagging on Messi is pretty hard to get through without having a good laugh.
If Messi can carve up Bayern Munich I'm quite sure he wouldn't have a problem carving up Stoke City, whether in fair our foul weather, day or night.

What a post
I was giving yourself credit for being a good troll. You have just made yourself look stupid.
Just read the last few pages, really enjoying Rezyuz's posts.
Not a chance mate. Stoke is the be all, end all in football.
This thread is better than sex, I swear. The gift that keeps on giving.
I've been rooting for Stoke City to get into the Europa League for years.
Just so that they can somehow win the cup and get put in the CL.
Just so they may probably end up in the same group as Barcelona.
Just so that Barcelona plays a game at the Brittania. In the autumn.
Just so that Messi gets to play on a cold, windy, wet Tuesday night at the Brittania.

Fixed.
They were in it though.
They didn't even win it though. Pfft
You are the chosen one Cal?, the one man destined to challenge the overwhelming opinion that Messi is the greatest. You much champion Ronaldo's loosing cause for the good of humanity. You must restore the balance in the force.
Messi is clearly miles better than Ronaldo. CR7 i great but he plays for himself. Of course Fergie is going to look through the rose tinted windows and say that Ronaldo is better. But Messi is the best of all time....CR7 is probably the tied in second or third place with players liek Maradona, Cryuff, Zidane....Messi is the best player that has ever walked the face of this earth and anyone that denies that should seek professional without delay
It's hard to separate them on stats and trophies, but what settles it for me is Messi is a joy to watch, Ronaldo not so much.
If I was given a choice between watching a game with Ronaldo for $1 or watching a game with Messi for $100 and I had to sit in the nosebleed seats, without hesitation I'd pay the extra money to go see Messi play.

They were decent to be fair, got knocked by Valencia after finishing above Dynamo Kyiv in the group stage, rumour has it that Messi was so scared of facing Stoke that season that he took Barcelona to the semi-finals of the CL instead of finishing 3rd in the group stage and possibly facing Stoke in the EL....coward.
Ronaldo is also a joy to watch.
If you are patient and can settle with very little.
Is he? He's a brilliant player but his biggest strength currently is his outstanding movement off the ball, there's no one better at finding space inside the box.
If that excites you then fair enough, genuinely. I see him like I see Müller (not a comparison about ability)...great player but pretty dull to watch.
uh..Neymar is shit at penalties too.
Stole or not he had two goals and was going for a hattrick, but let Neymar take the penalty. it all boils down to this.
They are not equal in end product though. Messi is vastly more creative, a better finisher, a more efficient finisher, better from range and better from dead-ball situations. Being better aerially and from the penalty spot doesn't even it out at all.
But but but Cal says you're wrong.
I wouldn't say he's a joy to watch now - though his best seasons at United (tricks, dribbling) were a joy to watch when it wasn't being done against Arsenal. Though I do enjoy the inevitability of Ronaldo now, you just know he's going to take shots and score each game.
Yeah that's completely fair. I was talking about currently but over his career he's defintely been exciting at times (generally, the more he played the less exciting he became).
When I seen that i just laughed, how anyone can call Messi ineffective for Argentina is ridiculous and just spouting nonsense.
Yep but the Ronaldo fan boys will tell u he has this many goals in this many games.
Messi is just superior by a mile imo and it's not even close.
Exactly when did excelling on a cold Tuesday night at Stoke become the ultimate test of a footballer's true ability?
when ronaldo did it and messi didnt
like messi needs to win a world cup, but ronaldo doesnt
messi scores 50 goals, ronaldo 51 and that is the only thing that matters when talking about a player (totally disregarding the fact that messi set the record for most goals in one la liga tournament (50 goals and one calendar year 91 or so goals) and that messis game/goals ratio is better than ronaldos
Ronaldo was a joy to watch few years back though... When he often drove his team on by himself with pace and some skills and good shot... And his counter attack move is often breathtaking to watch. (Didn't he always make some good run with the ball into edge of box then did a trademark side-heel dribble in full speed where defenders fall every time which open up enough space for him to take a good shot and results into goals?)
But nowadays it's mostly about running into box for goals... The most enjoyable stuffs is watching how he celebrates all by himself or how he doesnt bother to celebrate with his teammates...

Don't forget that Messi takes less shots than Ronaldo, so therefore Ronaldo is greater and it's not his fault that he routinely shoots from impossible angles or that defenders block his shots.
The one thing one can hold against Messi is that he's only proven himself at Barcelona and has never really performed well on the national team. Ronaldo has proven himself with two different teams and in two different leagues while also arguably being the better national team performer.
How ?
yeah, that's a mind boggling statement. Messi has actually been pretty good for his NT over the past 2 years.That's why I said if you are patient and can settle with very little, Ronaldo was entertaining a long time ago, now he is not. To be clear for me Ronaldo does common things at an incredible level of regularity and precision, when Messi does the same but on top of that does things that only him will do.
Messi and Mascherano are the only reasons Argentina got to the World Cup final.
What if Messi has a really bad game? You just wasted $100.
What is Ronaldo has a realy bad game? You just wasted $1
Which would you rather have?
One day Crisitano and Leo will reitre and normalcy will return to football. Then records will stay for years and not get broken every week. Hat tricks will again become a highlight of a players' season, not an exception every match, A half of century of goals in a single season will be something to tell your grand children about, not just another season target to be met. The ballon d'or will become a FIFA prize again, Rather than the personal property of two men. Lets enjoy them while they last!
I could never understand that shite. When Stoke on a cold winters night weren't much of a challenge to Valencia a few years ago I'd say Messi would have a mighty time against them.
You're lying. You couldn't have been doing this for years because this is the first year when EL winners get CL spot.
