11th 6 points off the playoffs after a defeat. Suddenly looks ominous after a terrible performance.

Just checking up on the stats of a couple of players for this season:

 

Messi 41 games 43 goals

 

Ronaldo 36 games 37 goals

 

Not bad eh?

Crazy stats. I wish we had players that could match then.

 

What is the current situation at Rangers Schnellders? The press has been making out its bleak?

It's more than bleak. Currently in administration, wont be allowed into Europe next season and potentially half the playing squad could be let go any day now. All this for a team that gets more fans on a weekly basis than all but 3 teams in the English Premierleague.

Not a very good situation. Port Vale also going into Admin.

 

I've seen 2 players have left today, lets hope not many more decide to do the same. You wont see any big Prem club put into Admin, they seen to get away with mountains of debt.

The players are currently trying to work out a deal with the administrators to prevent any further redundancies. Think the proposal is for the top earners to sacrifice 75% of their salary until the end of the season, mid-earners 50% and low earners 25%

win a world cup than you'll be the best of all time

 

that's my message to the Messiah

 

 

He will always be top 3 best players of all time. One of only 3 players to win the balon d'or 3 times. Consistently achieving 50 goal seasons, and the first player to score 5 in a Champions League game.

 

C. Ronaldo doesn't seem to have this 'Win a world cup' mentality on his shoulders. The only reason Messi does is because Maradona won a world cup near on single handedly.

And Maradona also finished second 4 years later playing in a team much worse than the 86 national team. Having an ankle injury.

 

 

 

But still. Different eras. Messi definitely is the best right now.

Messi scored only 2 goals today.

Still needs to win that world cup so he can get out of Maradona's shadow (Who is still the GOAT)

Talking of impressive goal scoring records, Mario Gomez has just notched a hattrick for Bayern in the CL, meaning he has 71 in his last 72 games

Thats because Ronaldo plays for Portugal. Its simlar to how no one holds it against Johan Cruyff for not winning a world cup, but if he had then he might be mentioned more in the debate for the best all time.

Make it 72 in 72 games ... he finished with 4

Liverpool won 2-1 in the FA Cup Semi Final and the Marlins were 4-1 up going into the 9th inning. I was so hopeful of my first double victory day this season!

 

Then Bell did his thing and... all it all got fracked up. 0-2 so far this season with Liverpool/Marlins on the same day. Last time was last Saturday, Liverpool drew with Villa and Marlins beat Reds.

 

Next chance is April 22nd - Liverpool home to West Brom and Marlins at Nationals. I'm hopeful.

Think today had to be one of the most exciting days of football I've ever experienced. Man City scored twice in injury time to beat QPR 3-2 and pip arch rivals Man Utd to the league championship on goal difference.

It was a good finish to the season, but hopefully these UEFA financial fair play rules make an impact on the league.

 

Man City have come from nowhere to win the title due to outrageous spending just like Chelsea did 10 years. Then you have the other side where teams come up from the Championship and spend bigger to make sure they don't go back down.

 

The thing I love about Baseball is that teams like the Rays and Nationals have a chance to win. Part of that is down to the way the draft works, but the Yankees have been trying to buy a title for the last 10 years and they've won.... one. That was the only time they made the World Series since 2003 too.

 

I'd like to see more of an even playing field in the EPL too.
