You have commented multiple times about how refereeing is biased to Madrid in Spain over the last year. And also said that it is a struggle to win LaLiga much because of bias towards Madrid. I can pull these up if you insist you have not made these comments even though you clearly have.

When Madrid are given legitimate penalties you make comments here about how the league is corrupt. There isnt corruption in Spanish refereeing. Refs make fair share of mistakes for and against as with any clubs but top clubs generally get a little more bias. That's basically it.

Yet if the Lewandowski pen and opposing red card had been given to a Madrid opponent you would cry about corruption here and how its impossible for Barca to win the league.

He isn't much of a scorer but has had some outstanding performances for Tottenham. With development he can become a world-class winger.

As usual the problem with such an analysis is you're not right that it only happens over 2 matches. As any team, we have benefitted from refereeing a lot and also lost from refereeing. For example Gavi end last season as the player with the most fouls in LaLiga and only had 6? Yellow cards. Is...

Logical (but expensive) move is Kulusevski. Mbappe could be another option just to replace his presence in general. Two under the radar options I like are Strefezza from Lecce and Orsolini of Bologna. Strefezza footedness is right but has fair use of the left. Could get both for cheap and be...

Adeyemi sucks. Stay away. The German Elanga. Except the Walmart version.

He always does want to keep every one of his players, then they end up flopping. Never lets go of the good ones unless they force him to

Running straight at them maybe because Frenkie is a bit weak and twitchy but they wouldnt need to run at Kroos they would just pass or dribble around him because he is slow as a snail. Agree that Frenkie could be stronger in the tackle tho and more of a defensive presence.

I agree he isnt as proactive as he could be defensively and seen some clips of goals where he fails to pick up runners, but in general if we're talking positional intelligence I don't believe he is an issue. Defense would probably be his biggest weakness but mainly because he is that good...

The problem is likes of Gavi and Romeu are far far worse positionally yet Frenkie is identified as the main issue holding the midfield play back. Just sounds like a lack of knowledge/agenda from the guy posting it.

In regards to the point made, its just utterly untrue, there are plenty and have been plenty of top teams who allow their midfielders freedom to move, even City and Arsenal are doing this, City have Rodri and Kovacic operating in both halves and moving up and down the pitch whilst Arsenal have...

The guy is just a moron. He was one of the ones preaching about how terrible Koeman's football idea is and how Xavi will bring beautiful football back to Barca, and is now defending his 'pragmatism' and saying 'it doesnt matter how you play as long as you win, you have to be pragmatic'. They...

In a way Puig moving to MLS was a blessing for these guys because they can keep up the delusion/myth that he can be good at a higher level.

Frenkie is one of the most progressive midfielders in the world.

No, that's totally incorrect. As far as I recall Carlos Megia Davila was retired when Madrid employed him and held no role in refereeing in Spain, so there is no conflict of interest or possible influence. Negreira was the vice president of the CTA at the time. I.e, he very possibly had direct...

The judgement made by the police apparently goes the entire way to say that our payments resulted in decisions going our way according to EL MUNDO. The judgement states that the reports the 8m allegedly correspond to don't exist and to this day no credible reason has been proposed by Barcelona...

Nonsense comparison.

Bc it used to work. The first pattern of play Xavi taught was work it wide, pass into the box, it worked for a few months, then teams wisened up, yet we are still trying that exact same thing every time.

This kind of style he's playing is on a short leash if it doesn't win trophies. Club will likely sack him if LL or CL isnt win.
