I'm extremely busy now ask me later.

Yes but can he do it on a cold night in......

You know what, forget it

Messi and Ronaldo need to go on Harry Hill to sort this one out once and for all.

Utd could do with him now

With our defence I don't fear Ronaldo and his skill set. He won't beat Courtois with a shot from 40 yards and he won't leave Azipi or Ivanovic for dead, he won't beat Terry in the air either.

Messi on the other hand with his first touch and close control and laser like precision on the finish could cause us some problems. I guess now there is no gap it's all a matter of opinion.

Right now Ronaldo has nudged ahead but history will be kinder to Messi.

You'd have to have 11 men behind the ball to stop

Messi was given HGH for treatment. In a lot of sports this is considered cheating. Could this mean he has an advantage over other footballers? Surely, this could explain his core athletic nature and why he can just bounce off other players with his low centre of gravity? I mean, give any player HGH and they're going to see some improvements.

How do we know Barcelona gave him the right dosage to make it fair?

Is this another similarity with Maradona and Messi?

Could he be like one of these superheroes?

Imagaine Ronaldo on HGH

Pretty sure you have to keep taking HGH to see sustained benefits. It's not a one shot superhero drug.

Booooring. Look for a new attention-seeking charade.

At the time it was correcting a hormone imbalance in a teenager to a more normal level, so that he might develop naturally. It doesn't mean that all his muscles are permanently super strong.

The majority of top level atheletes are using drugs witrhout any fear of getting caught

Drug rules are arbritrary too and depend on the federation in charge. FIFA (or whoever it is in football) decided its not cheating therefore it isnt cheating. That is how it works

Deficient IN HEIGHT, maybe, but who says he didn't have the appropriate amount of muscle mass, and his treatments didn't help him become much stronger than he otherwise would normally have been?

Either way, I still find it, odd, what if a 6ft player wanted to be 6'5, and takes growth hormone as a kid, long before you start getting tested as part of a professional league, does that make it fine?

Realistically, its not okay for a tall person to cheat to become taller and stronger, I fail to see how its okay for a short person to do it.

But then, there really is nothing stopping ANYONE in athletics doing drugs for a decade from teens then competing a little later on in life than normal once you can't be caught.

I don't think he did cheat, and I wouldn't begrudge any other short ar se getting some help, but had he decided at 18 he wanted to see if he could gain an extra few inches........ it would have been a very different situation.

Messi is very strong for his size and he's quite bulky for a little guy as well.

It is a slippery slope, some other kid who is only a couple inches shorter than normal will get treatment next, then some other kid will get something more serious fixed, then we'll get someone doing the leg lengthening surgery to gain a few extra inches even though he's already around 6ft, where is the limit exactly?

Morally, its dodgy, a parent thinking about the risks for their child with nothing to do with sport, but wanting a normal life, and a football club wanting the best athlete they can get? What if the next time someone decides to add some steroids to the mix, etc, etc. Something feels, wrong about it.

Somehow giving your kids, or letting a club give your kid drugs to hopefully improve his athletic ability seems wrong.

Hard to believe that grown “adults” bicker and squabble (and refer to others as “fangirls” ) in regard to Ronaldo and Messi. Why can’t people just enjoy both their respective talents and move on.

Bats who is your favourite out of Harry Styles and Zayn Malik?

Sorry I confused you with a teenage girl after reading this article.

Both inferior to Welbeck anyway.

Is the OP Batmanu?

I'm surprised an Arsenal fan is so grown up in admitting that Ronaldo is the superior player

is it such a crime to have a preference?

King of the bridge feels silly now, Ronaldo has scored penalties, free kicks, long range shots, headers, tap ins, the lot, all against Courtois.
