>all of a sudden media say he is the best player in the world and has never played this well in the past
Source? I think people always rated him, they're just impressed that he's still doing so well at an age where most players think about slowing down and retiring.

this is called "the premier league has a lot of money and everyone with a media presence will eagerly slobber on its cock in the faint hope of some indirect kickback"

>>74392881
>the premier league has a lot of money

What you have to ask yourself is why the Premier League has a lot of money. The answer is that it is the best league top-to-bottom in the world.

>>74392818
>>mediocre yuro
nah

It's pretty sad that a 35 year old geriatric with mostly mediocre talent is surrounding him is leading (or is close to) the "toughest legue in the world'" scoring charts. If he came over 10 years ago, he'd score 35+ every year.

>>74392979
Premier League was actually the best league top to bottom 10 years ago though. Quality of play also was much better then desu (see Messi not being able to score against Chelsea in the CL from 05-12)

>>74393346
Yeah but he has raped Arsenal so many times now as well as Man City and United. Chelsea were the only exception

>>74393346
>this meme
If Chelsea actually had consistent CL football then they would have played Barca more often and Messi would have probably scored at least one by now. As far as I remember, the only time Chelsea knocked out Barcelona was in 2012, and everyone knows that they were big underdogs to win that year anyway.

>>74392818

only customers actually think Ibra is good desu

>>74392941
nope, TV deals

>>74393443

Ah yes, the "Jew run" media is going to give huge TV deals to one of the lower tier leagues in Europe.

Too much nose candy for you, buddy

>>74393428
its a fucking disgrace

Keke'd hard when they got Payet and tried to clami he was world class, and had the best season in his career at 30.

He's just always been a decent technical player, with inconsistant end product

>>74394009
He was one of the best players at Euro 2016

>>74392818
players that join manure are instantly potential world class talents

if they have 3 good games in a season then the british media will laude them as certified world class™

depay was the next robben
martial was the next henry
lingard was the next giggs
darmian was the next lahm
di maria was the next beckham
falcao was the next cantona
smalling was touted as the next ramos because he was good at double parking the bus under van laal

>>74394085
Australia was the next prison

Chelsea have played Barcelona 12 times in Champions League you melt:
1999/2000
2004/2005 (knocked Barca out)
2005/2006
2006/2007 (finished above Barca in group stages)
2008/2009
2011/2012 (knocked Barca out)

>>74393428
Jesus fucking Christ don't comment if you've only been watching football for 3 years

Lets see Chelsea's record before Abramovich??

>>74394238
Based ranieri finished 2nd with them the year before oil money came

>>74394270
>Based ranieri finished 2nd with them the year before oil money came
Uhmm, that was actually the first year of Abramovich after a record breaking transfer window

>>74394270
>Being this plastic

>>74392979
he alway scored less than 30 goals a season before he turned 30. Always scored more than 30 after.
So 10 years ago he would have scored 29 at most

>>74394238
For a 'small club' Chelsea were pretty decent in the 90s and early 00s. 2 fa cups, 1 league cup, 1 CWC, 1 super cup, never finished lower than 6th from 1996 onwards, finished 3rd in 1999 & did better in Europe than Arsenal do nowadays.
Not like City who were battling relegation every year

>>74393452
good marketing and language advantage

>>74392941
nope it's because americans are too dumb to learn another language and therefore can only watch the Premier League because it is in english. Which means they have a whole market for themselves.

>>74394368
I thought all Americans were actually Mexican, so would therefore only watch la liga?

>>74394356
Chelsea were the spurs of the late 90s but with better cup success

>>74394368
There are a lot of latino Barca/Madrid fans in the USA. South East Asia is a huge market that's way more Premier League centric than the USA

>>74394381
Get fucked were they. Spurs only won 2 league cups in that period and never finished any higher than 7th. You're either a teenager who's just started watching football or you're ABC scum

>>74392941
The answer is that Asians, Scandinavians and Americans prefer English to Spanish/German/Italian

>>74394422
>in that period
I meant when you compare it to now you eejit

>>74394379
>>74394393
in california, where america is already mexico, the chicanos follow both a mexican league team and either madrid/barca. however they are chelsea fans if you talk about the premier league.

>>74394472
Compare the two records in Europe and come back when you actually know what you're talking about

>>74394502
You mean Chelsea did better in cups? Like I literally said

>>74394368
asians will also learn english as a european language rather than any one else, except for pinoys who literally have no excuse other than being shitheads for supporting an english team.

Stay mad Heinrich Muhammad.

We don't need to learn a second language when everyone else learns ours.

The world speaks our language.
Eats our food (McDonalds)
Drinks our beer (Budweiser)
Drinks our soda (Coca-Cola)
Smokes out cigarettes (Marlboro)

The world is already ours. It's why most of us are fat and lazy. There's nothing left to conquer except space and that's still a bit away.

Is this the pinnacle of American culture?

>>74392818
He's over the hill now. Unted was like joining the MLS for him.

When he was 30-33 he was still really good by any standards

>>74392979
Definitely not. Ten years ago it was still the best league in the world, even guys like Drogba, Torres, Rooney didn't score that much. Hell even Donaldo during his career's best season couldn't score 60 goals

>>74396084
Some people think football started in 2011 and that Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona were always ahead of the others.

>>74392818
>or is it just a rouse to not hurt Rooney's feelings?
Basically
I've come to accept that the media will try and make wazza kill himself even after he retires
Poor bastard, but then again everyone who played for Fergie in his last season should have retired or went to another club after to save themselves the embarrassment of having to play for joke managers for a decade

He left Juve in 05(?) didn't win the league for 7 years
He left Inter in 2009, then they memed their way to treble, and have done fuck all since
Leaves Milan in 2012, and they're a shell of their old self
leaves PSG, they went from winning the league by 30+ pts to 2nd
if he wasn't at Utd, they'd be 10th place right now

>>74394368
We get bundesliga in english on fox sports

>>74394368
Why would any American waste his time learning a dead language like German? Knowing German is just as useless as knowing Klingon.

Top fucking kek. You are fat because you literally cannot resist anything that looks remotely fatty and have an uncontrolable urge to shove it down your throat. Such is American """"""culture"""""". Kings of the world my ass, when will you realize the world is just taking advantage of you. American delusion never ceases to make me laugh.

That's a good run. Unfortunately, overall not good enough to surpass Nottingham Forest's glorious early 80's run.

>>74396108

>Some people think football started in 2011 and that Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona were always ahead of the others

That would be a pretty accurate football summary of the last 25 years, since late 80s-early 90s when AC Milan was ahead of everyone else.

>>74395394
>Drinks our beer (Budweiser)

NO! Based German Weissbier.

>>74394368
Its partially the schooling systems. I grew up in south florida where 70% of the public can speak spanish. In primary school spanish was a mandatory subject. Most other cities do not force children into learning a second language unless you are going to a private school.

It is pretty shocking to see say Italian-Americans in NYC basically dropping the ball and forgetting to teach there children Italian.

>>74417296
>forgetting
Kek. They live in America now. Why learn Italian?

>>74416430
Hes having a laff but sadly if you dont live in one of the big US cities (NYC, LA, CHI, MIA) your life does consist of eating a big mac and washing it down with a coke while your mum chains smokes and your dad pounds back a 6 pack after his shift at the mill.

>>74417314
Mostly because everyone here is so quick to point out there heritage as a means to give themselves a form of identity/personality yet often cant speak said languages. See LA and all these mexi-ameri "gang members".

Besides learning a second language is an invaluable tool.

>>74392818
>and has never played this well in the past
Hmm wonder why people would be saying that.

This is ALREADY his third best season ever when playing in a real league.
