Yea. He's an incredibly bland character. I'd like him a lot more if he was a bit of a @#%&! tbh.

There's nothing 'cheating' or weird about using hormone therapy as a child.

There is if it gives him an edge in a professional sport.


You're not swaying me Grimmers, don't waste your energy/breath trying to.

Not sure how you could watch that and say anything negative. A great footballer

he only needs 13 goals to become barcas highest goalscorer of all time, and hes just 24 years old!!!

It doesn't. He's still small.

It didn't give him superhuman strength you know.

Not as small as he should be. I reckon he should be more injury prone too.

Genetically Modified footballers. :shakehead:

Pretty sure that's Tom Hardy as Bane in the new Batman film.

I didn't know Messi had a tattoo.

Based on your years of medical training? There's no 'genetic modification' going on. Growth hormone therapy is just amino acids naturally produced by the pituitary. Some kids don't produce the normal amount. Therapy supplies them with that amount - no more.

Doesn't tackle back enough for me

They don't call me Dr Crumps for nothing.

He should be in the £#%&!ing circus, not ruining European cup finals for me. Plenty of 'substances' are produced naturally. Let's just let everyone take whatever the £#%&! they want (which Barcelona clearly do anyway).

I'm bumping Valdes for you on my shitlist btw.

When treated with GH, a deficient child will begin to grow faster within months. Other benefits may be noticed, such as increased strength, progress in motor development, and reduction of body fat.

Fair enough. I do know what you mean, as I tried looking at this from your perspective, but I was disadvantaged by my fully functional brain.

That's just £#%&!ing mean.


Grow up.

I'm seriously considering unsubscribing to your youtube channel.

I'll let you know.
