Ateltico won the league last year with Real third so not a complete two horse race.
Seriously, Jam, what kind of argumentation is that?
I have wrote on previous pages:
-- in years 1996-2004:
-- Barca and Real finished on top2 spots=2 times in 9 Seasons
-- so: YES 2 times, NOT 7 times
Since 2005, in years 2015-2015:
-- Barca and Real finished 9 times in top2, out of 11 Seasons.
-- so: YES 9 times, NOT 2 times
It is not like EVERY Season they are in top 2.
But there is a significant change since 90's.
What do you mean scoring more and more goals without Messi and Ronaldo?
People were replying that Barca and Real score more Goals per League season (100, 110 or 120) Goals because Messi and Ronaldo, two greatest players eva' play here today.
I posted on previous pages that Barca's+Real's combined amount of league goals were rising from 130-140 to 160 and 188 even before the moment when Messi+Cristina played together in La Liga.
So, I am saying that numbers were inflating even before Messi+Ronaldo.
So, I am assuming that those numbers would be very high today even without Messi and Ronaldo.
Ok, probably not THAT high. Plus, we will never know that surely.
But again, numbers were rising (number of scored Goals by Barca+Real) in the same time since La Liga turned out to be a two horses race.
Simple question ? Yea, right. Your own explanations are completely insufficient. I don't pretend to have the answer to something like that, and you shouldn't either.
Also check the difference between growth and inflation, don't see why you should use the latter without foundation to do so.
It's a fine thing to act as if my fav players weighed on your question since you didn't even take my join date into account. Btw, I only list very recent players because that's my choice.
And stop saying I overhype our current players, that's bullshit
or start the quoting game.
English is not my native language, and I am not having that rich vocabulary or awesome grammar, so I am surely using some words wrongly.
My bad.
But you get the point what I am trying to say, that is important.
I am not interested in quoting game.
I am saying honestly what pisses me here on Barca's forum.
A lot of users said that I am a Barca hater, that I am fan of Madrid or Chelsea or who knows what.
Anyway, not your posts, but some general posts. I agree with some of them, but when you look at all of them, you get the point how EVERYTHING from the current era is overhyped among younger (football) fans.
A few examples:
1. Messi is a goat (I agree with that)
2. CR7 is one of the greatest players ever (lol)
3. Neymar scored more Goals than any other Barca's attacker in the last xx years, except Messi (I had the feeling that posters are implying that he is better than other Barca's attacker in the last 20 years when they mention this stat, right?)
4. Suarez is probably the best Cf Barca ever had
5. MSN is the best attacking trio in the history of football game
6. Xavi is the greatest (football) midfielder of ALL time
7. Iniesta is very close to him, and he is better than Zidane
8. Puyol is the best Barca's CB in a history
9. Valdes is best Barca's GK in a history
Ok, now a serious question:
-- while these guys are awesome, but what about the Dream team? They won 4 titles in a row, and our first CL ever
-- can most of the fans name more than 3-4 players at all from our Dream team?
-- Puyol is the best, Valdes is the best, everyone are the best
-- now I am asking: is anyone from the Dream team actually the BEST in anything?
-- or all "best" spots are reserved ONLY for guys from Pep's era or post-Pep era (if you get my point? There is no way that everything is so awesome from the last 7-8 years, and that none player in Barca's history can compare with current Gods)
-- late 90's and early 00's, who is the best from that era?
= nobody, right?
-- only Rivaldo was a player whom people remember
Etc...
This is what bothers me.
Again, I watched Barca in the 90's and all Barca's in 00's and 10's.
And yes, some current players are awesome, but all generations had legends.
But, at least for me, when I am reading this forum, it sounds as if all players from the past were meh or nothing special, and that every player from the recent era is a goat, or the best player in the world, best player on his position in the world...
... or, at least=best Barca's player on that position in history
Pep Guardiola, lol? That guy was an awesome footballer.
Lucho was insane player who was running like crazy on every match, and who was a braveheart like Puyol in recent times.
But nobody is ever mentioning Pep, Lucho and similar players.
People say:
Xavi is the best ever.
Iniesta is the 2nd best ever.
Busi is the best Dmc ever.
Thiago is probably one of the best midfielders (ever, lol). I am joking now, but you get the point.
Everything from the past is forgotten.
And every player/action/goal/trophy from the recent era is insanely overhyped.
And then, I am losing my nerves because of that, and I tell to guys that Ney is not good as Ronnie or Etoo yet, and some guys act as if I have said:
= Real is better than Barca, Barca is the worst club in the universe and all Barca's players are crap, lol
(I am not saying that I haven't said some bad thing about Ney in the past for example, but you get my point, I hope)
