Missed this achievement on Sunday , as we were so buried in the drifts of snowgate , just incredible 50 hat tricks ,really 😮
After a slow start to the season his form in 2018 is incredible. Averaging 1.5 goals per game so far in 2018.
21 in 13 games in 2018, and he didn’t score in the first 2 games of 2018 so it’s actually 21 in 11.
Only failed to score once in the last 11 games, and scored 2 or more in 8 of those 11 games, including 3 goals against much fancied PSG in the last 16 of the CL.
That’s an incredible run of goals even by his standards.
I know your game buddy!Quote:

I appreciate both players, its just a shame others cant and have to pick sides. We are privelaged to witness both these players, at their peak, at the same time.
Of course we are but I'm not having that you weren't fishing for bites for one secondQuote:

It is outstanding. He's a machine.
However, if Messi was as greedy, and his team mates passed to him everytime, even if there was a better option, then he'd probably have scored double what Ronaldo has.
Shock Horror!Quote:

Ronaldo is the best in-and-around-the-box player the world has ever seen. A brilliant finisher.
Agreed, but wrong RonaldoQuote:

Maybe he can dress as Ronald MacDonald.Quote:

Wait til he finds out you been two timing him with Messi :hehe:Quote:

I preffered Messi like that with his explosive burst of pace and always going forward. Goes sideways a lot these days and has lost a yard or two.Quote:

He was always likely to have a hot streak at some point, as his underlying stats were still really good.
I'd have Ronald Scholes at 10 , Messi on the bench though as he's a good lad.Quote:
