Messi is a fucking phenom and not just with his goals and skills. His work rate in the 10 minutes leading up to the fourth goal was a joy to watch. He bust a gut chasing everything, running the channels, closing down the man with the ball.

Absolute joy to watch that man play football. Greatest ever.

Agree with you, Messi is awesome.

The state of Wembley pitch is like some poor division 1 team.

He is absolutely head and shoulders above the ladyboy and always has been. It's criminal he wasn't even shortlisted for the FIFA player of the year after driving the Whores to the Double ffs. The fact that Mo "Won Nothing" Salah was shortlisted just adds insult to injury. :oops: :roll:

Poor game at Anfield.

City could have had three pens mind. Lovren definitely kicked Aguero in the first half, van dijk definitely handballed that corner and lovren definitely swiped Jesus’ face when he went past him there. Think the van Dijk one was rightfully given a foul against him but the other two were both good shouts.

Martin Atkinson has been poor in general. Fernandinho has made foul after foul with impunity. I think he just doesn’t have the bottle to give a big decision like a penalty unless it’s obviously stonewall, and a bloke with that mentality shouldn’t be refereeing these games.

Sure enough, stonewaller!

Awful from Mahrez. Why on earth would you let him take it? Hardly the most composed player and missed 3 of his last 5. Never looked like he fancied it. Very rare to see a penalty skied other than in a shootout.

You would think pep with his meticulous planning would have known this, why mahrez was allowed to take the pen ,think there was a a discussion between Jesus and mahrez about who should take the pen, looked like Jesus wanted to take it but was over ruled by someone
