bobby12 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 "Brazil legend Pele has hit back in his war of words with Diego Maradona by ridiculing the Argentine's 'hand of God' goal against England in 1986." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/8261803.stm Pele vs Maradona - what do you think? For me, Maradona was the far better player. I think Pele is more of an icon, due to his world cup wins, than a 'best player' candidate. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 while the whole world adores Pele for his ambassadorship of the beautiful game, Maradona is hated by most. Better player? Maradona. At least he's from the modern game. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 He was the don, but unfortunately had the ego and arrogance and excesses that basically ruined his chance of being the top dog. Same with Tyson, he would have knocked out Ali in a couple of rounds in his prime but eveyrone holds up Ali as the greatest. He is just an icon, not the best. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Pele, while a fantastically gifted player, is a boring dude. He may have been magic on the field but his tipping is crap, anyone he tips to win the world cup always fall flat on their faces. Maradona on the other hand, also fantastically gifted, lived life to excess, had a huge ego and personality....its because of this I think that he edges Pele in the best ever category. What does Pele know anyway, Hand of God was a quality goal, voted 2nd best Scottish goal for the Millenium!! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Quote: Italian police have seized earrings from Argentina's football coach Diego Maradona in an effort to recover unpaid taxes from his playing days at Napoli. Maradona handed over the earrings, worth some 4,000 euros (£3,600), at a health clinic in northern Italy. Big girl. Or is that small squat fat girl. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Not a good night for Wigan, Arsenal thrashed us it seems. Anyway on to tonight. City getting points? Please no.

pie-eater 207 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Tevez starts!? Man Utd * 12 Foster * 03 Evra * 05 Ferdinand * 15 Vidic * 22 O'Shea * 08 Anderson * 11 Giggs * 13 Park * 24 Fletcher * 09 Berbatov * 10 Rooney Substitutes * 29 Kuszczak, * 02 Neville, * 23 Evans, * 16 Carrick, * 17 Nani, * 25 Valencia, * 07 Owen Man City * 01 Given * 02 Richards * 03 Bridge * 19 Lescott * 28 Toure * 07 Ireland * 08 Wright-Phillips * 18 Barry * 34 De Jong * 32 Tevez * 39 Bellamy Substitutes * 12 Taylor, * 05 Zabaleta, * 15 Garrido, * 16 Sylvinho, * 17 Petrov, * 40 Weiss, * 54 Ball Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 oooh bring it on. I want to see Tevez score and pull a hairdryer out of his pocket and blast it in fergies face. surely some kind of bizarre drama in store tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 half time 1-1. Tevez hit the post. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I laughed. City are matching United. What will the 2nd half bring? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Park off Nani on. Owen on. Or something. Foster just ain't up to the standard, United will be relieved to get VDS back, then a headache on who to have backup because they don't seem to favour that other bloke Kuschak or whatever his name is. Anderson needs to play gingerly now because he's on a (silly) yellow. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Superb football from United the last 15 minutes. Fletcher just scored this very minute. 3-2. Great game. Link to post Share on other sites
