Makes some good points and some ludicrous ones.

That has got to be a piss take.

I agree that he still has to do it on the world stage to be considered better than Maradonna but the rest of the article, such as picking holes in his phenomenal goal recod due to 'selfishness' is the biggest load of tosh I've read in a long time.

He's a genius alright, whether he'll go on to be the best player ever remains to be seen.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I think this is a joke...

Of course it's a joke!

f***ing funny - 'he's no use in a wall'

Hilarious reading the angry comments of people underneath who just don't get it.

 

[Desybozared]

I'd not noticed the comment section - wow oh wow

If they didn't realise it's a joke as soon as they read the Owen bit, they need thier head's checking. Morons.

Thats about as spot on as anyone could have put it...

Some good points well made

Just in case I ever feel suicidal I've bookmarked the comments section. That and every comment posted on YouTube.

The article wasn't brilliant though. Only a few bits made me smile.

"Maradona dragged an average Napoli side to a legendary title win, their first, second and only Scudetti."

Surely you can tell this is a joke by the first 10 words?!

"The whole point of sarcasm is in the ability of the people to recognize it. Its like a joke...a joke is good if people can tell its a joke. And a joke is bad if people cannot tell it is a joke. That's what this is. The fact that most people could not tell this was satire already says that the writing wasn't very well done...Even I didn't know and I've studied English Literature for 6 years...glad he wasn't serious though."



Studied English Lit for 6 years from Age 3 perhaps?

Scudetti is a pluralisation of Scudetta. It's akin to saying Brian Clough took us to our first, second and only European Cups.
