It's the question that everyone's been asking. It's been well debated to this point whether or not the terrible-award-show-suit-wearing, spinny-blooded genius that is Lionel Messi could in fact do "it" on a miserable November's evening in Stoke on Trent. "It", of course, being faking out a centre back with more X's in his name than vowels with a nifty shuffle of his feet before racing through on goal and lightly tapping L1+O just as the keeper goes to ground before strolling off in that point to the sky celebration that even Alan Shearer admits "is starting to get a bit old now". 92 times a year. Due to the general shortage of high-scoring scrabble tiles across the names of Stoke's back 4, we can assume that he would not be able to do "it", likely settling instead for a hat-trick before being burned by the locals who don't trust anything called a chip that they can't eat. It's a boring question anyway and now that I've rather conclusively answered it we can move on to more interesting riddles. A man who most definitely does not do "it" on any number of miserable November's evenings at the Britannia is Eastenders hard man lookalike Jon Walters. If we've established that no man can do "it" in said circumstances, then is Walters truly any worse than L1+Onel Messi?* What, truly, is holding Jon Walters back from having as many Ballons D'Or as he does episodes of Golden Balls stored on his TiVo box? *I'd almost be proud of this if it weren't the sort of thing you'd see on Football Funnies

Yes, as he would win a disproportionate amount of penalties, which he would then elegantly smash with as much power as he can muster straight down the middle.
How is he a footballer?

actually think Walters is alright. He's took the piss out of our defense a few times.

Walters is decent tbf, not fashionable and plays for the least fashionable team possibly ever so gets more stick than he warrants

I just think he's the most caveman-like of footballers. No technique other than smashing the ball, only reason he can use his body is that he's podgy. 40 years ago he'd be a bit more typical but these days, nah, just don't rate him.

He's a bit similar to Grant Holt, although I think Holt is a lot worse tbh.

He's one of those shit players that always seems to score big goals.
His penalties are so bad though, hit with as much power as possible. Yet keepers still dive to the corners for them :<
