Messi and Ronaldo would be the best players around and would run rings around everyone.

considering now they fall over when the wind blows imagine getting lumps kicked out of them every time they touched the ball and would be lucky to get a foul never mind have an opponent booked or sent off. They wouldnt last to half time when the likes of tommy smith, norman hunter ,dave mckay or chopper harris had finished with them

The likes of Smith, Hunter, McKay and Harris wouldn't get close to them.

why would they hide in the changing rooms, even if they passed one player ready to kick them into the stands there was always another behind him and in those days tackling a player didnt necessarily mean going for the ball or even that the player had to have the ball to begin with. was a different game back then

And yet alcoholic chain smokers managed. I am sure a super elite athlete like Ronaldo would be alright

I notice that the Chelsea crowd are at Molyneux tonight.

I'm sure if Ronaldo was about in that day and age he'd be as big a drinker and smoke as much as any off them did, the same as if they were in this day and age they'd be fitter and do what they're told to do by their clubs!..

Nothing to say they wouldn't be able to play as good as players off today, the only problem would be if they went down, they'd look out off place rolling about and begging for the ref to shoot the opposing player!..

Something I fecking hate about todays football!..

"Falling over when the wind blows" reminds me of Francis Lee. George Best is still the most skilful ball player I have ever seen.
