This video pretty much sums up Abidal. What a stud :worthy:

What's the point in saying 'anyone can beat anyone at any time'? Why are you even on a forum if that's your stance? The point is to discuss a match (preferably with good arguments), but anytime a good argument is given for why barca will very likely win all you get is an asinine 'the ball is...

You can't really use arrogance as a blanket term for a good or bad trait, it all depends on the context. That he's arrogant is one thing, but what is he arrogant about? He's one of the best footballers of this generation in one of the best clubs, having historic seasons goal wise, and what does...

Since when does dangerous mean you shouldn't do it? Isn't that exactly what warriors and winners do, fight back despite the dangers? :)

If he wants to play and the doctors okay it I don't see why not. He's so strong and dedicated that if anyone in the world can come back from a liver transplant it's him. Who else in football does this Abidal :worthy:

I agree, he provided so little assists you'd almost think he wasn't an AM. Oh wait... He did fine today, doing what he always does. He also feigned a horizontal pass into a hard and sharp vertical pass directly in front of the back four multiple times, but no one did anything with it. You...

Obviously Puyol asking for a giant staple in his head, not flinching, then running back on to score :worthy:

What do fullbacks/wb's have to do with scoring? They're there to stretch the field and assist (like Dani has done innumerable times with Messi). Having a 433 with alba and alves would definitely help with parked busses (but would makes us even more vulnerable). Alba is not a bad transfer by...

Only players without the Barca mind set or who can't play second fiddle to Messi though, Sanchez doesn't have those problems.

I think the problem is that no one is scoring besides Messi. You can mark Messi with half your team without getting punished because no one else is clinical. Yesterday Messi didn't managed much in front of goal but he did give a couple of passes to possibly decide the game early but they were...

You're not thinking it through enough. If Messi wasn't there someone else could take a more central striker role and would score far more goals. Villa in the center with the service he'd get from the rest of the team (cf. spanish NT for a preview) is a beast; it would be ideal in any possible...

Dutch commentators were saying the same thing (Willem van Hanegem and Marco van Basten). Didn't notice it until they said it but he does look off.

I honestly can't believe he constantly gets away with it. Madrid are really desperate for titles to drag their name through the mud like that. Such whining over the ref in a game where not much controversial happened; the dives were blatant. And this after he has been lucky with the ref so many...

Ramos---Pepe---Carvalho ---Marcelo ------Khedira---Gattuso---Lass------ Di Maria----------------------Ronaldo ------------- Suarez----------------- Back four to stand on peoples ankles and injure messi. Then a triple pivot of doom; no man gets out alive. And because this team has no build up...

How well could he do with his new liver, granted everything works out, 90-100%? Is it that a liver transplant itself is career threatening, or just the chance of rejection etc. ? Anyways, his health comes first, football second. Hoping to hear that his surgery went well soon. :abidal: :worthy:

It's pretty reassuring that he's not letting his head hang and he still does everything we know and love him for. Except score, which is quite worrying because it seems like no one but Messi (and Xavi recently) can score. Sanchez has also been good in this department but constantly injured. We...

Who makes $10 an hour? (also I just said in Barcelona, of course there's the ticket but you would have that at your local club as well; I was talking about the differences between local and foreign).

I agree with all of this. If I were to support my local club I'd have to support NEC, terrible club. Not to mention the fans are retards; I'm pretty sure you can't get a season ticket unless you have an IQ less than 90 (not to mention they all talk the Dutch equivalent of an Essex chav accent)...

I can't believe how often this has happened the last few years. 1. I decide not to watch RMA vs. low level opposition 2. Being a football fan I turn it on anyway 3. Bad start from RMA, I get my hopes up 4. Terrible defending and missing hosts of chanches leads to RMA winning 5 to 1 or 2 5. Rage :(

It was also obvious that busquets was guilty to many people, probably because it was at the peak of the whole 'barca are divers' hating, and we all know there are a 1000 reasons to hate suarez (justifiably so). And that is precisely why you -do- need concrete evidence. Also, you are simply...
