Messi doesn't have to do it in the Premier League to prove himself. The Champions League is the ultimate club competition. If he was in the Premier League, he'd be the best player by some distance.
Fella’s a genius. Best ever by a distance in my life time. Never really saw Pele… Souness, Gullit, Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game with which we are not familiar.
The train's always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.
It's a simple and brilliant idea. As I know only too well, the hospital does vital work and we all feel that the staff should have the best buildings and facilities money can buy.
It's amazing what you can see through Sven's specs - I must get a pair.
If somebody in the crowd spits at you, you've got to swallow it.
An excellent player - but he does have a black side
I think it's a wonderful idea and the animation and stories are terrific.
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.
Congratulations to Thierry Henry on a truly wonderful career. One of the great footballers of our time and a top bloke. Bonne chance.
We are in the entertainment business and we all know if you are top of the tree you get the big money. Those of us who have been in it are the fortunate ones but we understand that we probably don't deserve it as much as the nurses or teachers.
We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagna, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart.
The truth is I don't feel too bad for my age. I actually have a better shape now than I used to.
I'm disappearing from twitter for a while. Need a break from the bile. Local prejudice just seems to bring out the worst in some people.
