    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    There are occasions in life where you would prefer not to be right at all. In this specific case I am referring to the complete and utter uselessness of the current board if it even makes sense to call them a board in the first place. My constant criticism of this clueless, gutless and...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    That is a fair point but they managed to beat PSG in the first game in the group stage. Overall their CL group stage performance was far from convincing but that was ages ago. One should not forget that their group was very strong with Napoli thrown into the mix. The CL group stage was almost...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    On the other hand a negative result at the Camp Nou and the tie is pretty much over IMO. Liverpool are arguably the best team this season. Unlike last year they are competing extremely well on both fronts. Klopp is a much better manager than Valverde as well and significantly more experienced in...

    Champions League

    I never bought into the Man City hype either. See my most recent post in the Pep thread. The point is just that you will have a hard time arguing that Spurs would be the harder opponent in a potential final. Don't see it at all to be honest with you. League form is not paramount but when...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Liverpool will probably be our hardest test in the CL so far if not the entire season. We are talking about a Liverpool team that is poised to record their highest point total in history. Who might actually win the EPL after 29 years of title drought. A team that reached the CL final last...

    Champions League

    Are you trying to somehow argue that Spurs is the harder opponent despite barely qualifying against the same Man City team in a cup tournament like the CL while being lightyears behind them in the league table? Or is it about Spurs having the better squad depth, better individual players and a...

    Juventus

    7 lines is an essay now?:lol: Your reply must be half of an essay then.:lol: You don't get it. Juve's main aim (sole aim as they were guaranteed a scudetto even before a ball was kicked prior to this season with or without CR7) was to win the CL. They failed yet again. Spectacularly. Against...

    Champions League

    In a final Man City would be a far harder opponent than Spurs. Pep would not be able to fuck it up as usual in recent years by trying to be overly smart in a two-legged tie. If not for his cowardice in the first leg, Man City would likely have qualified. Man City would just go for it and the...

    Juventus

    Are you ok? Juventus' main aim this season was to win the CL after 22 years of not being able to do it and losing countless of finals in the process (1997, 1998, 2003, 2015, 2018) in that time period (1996-2018). They spent €100 million on the supposed "CL GOAT" as well as a combined net spend...

    Basketball/NBA

    Good post. Hard to dislike Dirk and I remember cheering for that Dallas Mavericks team back in 2011. As pretty much everyone not a Heat fan. In other news, Magic called it a day not too long ago. Not cut for the role as team president. Did a poor job overall. With Luke Walton poised to leave...

    Erik ten Hag

    I think that we have had him on our radar for quite some time. His results this season, in particular in the CL, must have only reinforced our interest in him. Hard to think of a more suited substitute for Valverde here and now. The coach of the season without a doubt so far. It will be very...

    Pep Guardiola

    Pep's cowardice costed him big time in the first leg. This is all on him. Having said that Man City is not really as great individually as many people want it to appear like. Tottenham's ideal 11 is not too far way from Man City's ideal 11 and I would say that Spurs are stronger on quite a few...

    AFC Ajax

    Regardless of what will happen, as Ajax can end up finishing the season with 0 titles as well as winning a triplete, they have been this season's team. Such a joy to watch. Even more so in an era of modern football where the same economic powerhouses are dominating the CL completely. They are an...

    Juventus

    Eternal CL chokers.:lol: Could not have happened to a more sympathetic club. Even more disgusting than usual after they added that Portuguese clown to their team. Thoroughly enjoyed Ajax Amsterdam outplaying them.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Still as retarded as usual, I see. You claimed that he was way better than everyone of our CB's and practically every CB out there. Yes, I never rated de Ligt.:lol: Is this some kind of bad joke? I wrote that Konaté would be my preferable choice STYLISTICALLY due to him having all the right...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Where are all the C. Ronaldo fanboys who were singing songs of how clutch C. Ronaldo is and what a big choker the GOAT (Messi) is? Pathetic lot. Hopefully he will add Liverpool to his long list of victims and help us secure a place in the final. Preferably against Ajax. Such a final between...

    Champions League

    Insane game yesterday night. Tough on Man City but Pep's cowardice in the first game costed them. Not overly sad as Man City would be a far harder opponent in a potential final for us than Tottenham would be and I did not want them to win the quadruple either as that could rival or even eclipse...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    What is this absolutely retarded post supposed to mean and why have I been mentioned? Because I rightly pointed out that it was way too soon to proclaim de Ligt (back in January) as the best thing since sliced bread and as the best CB in the world by far as you claimed? I think that Piqué's...

    Malcom

    Apologies for the late reply. I have been extremely busy for the past month or so and had a 2 week escape in Cuba.:p I think that Malcom has proven himself to be a reliable sub every single time that he has played. Sadly, as written many times before, he has received far too few chances over...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Reasonable in the eye of Valverde. Very few others. Just reread this thread or people's reactions on social media, local media etc. Certainly not an objective fact. "Reasonable" is certainly the wrong word to use. The objective fact on the other hand, as admitted by Valverde, was that he risked...
