Messi's greatest rival was not CR7, but with Papa Perez
This pic is crazy.
Should pur all non Messi fans to shame.

Commensurate to the quality of the respective Barca teams... we have Raphinha, Lewa and Yamal, and that one had Messi, Suarez and Neymar.
We absolutely love it brother. Taking every team to the cleaners.
On the other hand, he's currently taking a massive L on Arsenal and got blown to bits on Ten Hag and likely Zirkzee. And it is still early in the season, could still go wrong for Flick (though clearly I hope it does not). And Arsenal could improve etc.Birdy always gets bullied here for his takes, but the reality is he took a mega W here, and he has a unique perspective worth listening to on certain things. I respect his view on tactics specifically a lot and I think his opinion on tactical matters is one of the best here.
Everyone has their own view on football, as long as they are articulate enough and informed, its best to take some things from everyone, everyone has their specialities in terms of analysing football.
The vast majority of posters here are pretty good with the exception of only a few insane ones like IU.
Indeed. It's looking prophetic if anyone said that.I don't know how many people on here specifically called for flick to he barca's manager before he was appointed or even before Xavi was appointed.
But I would guess that number is somewhere close to 0.
If anyone made that call, you have to give them props.
Me and @Birdy did it way way back.I don't know how many people on here specifically called for flick to he barca's manager before he was appointed or even before Xavi was appointed.

But, again, I would suggest caution. It's still only three months into his tenure. Barca are looking superb but it could go wrong - I hope it doesn't but we have all seen enough football to know teams look great early and then it all falls apart. There's been other examples.
I don't think that will happen here though, as Barca have so many good players and young talent, and Flick is clearly a quality coach. I do think they won't keep up the 'four goals per game' standard, but of course that is normal and they won't have to to win trophies.
I am just saying though - three months is a little early to start calling wins. I didn't even vote fraud or bum, I was neutral. But he has won nothing yet so stay calm. This sort of response would make much more sense if he was two seasons and two Liga trophies and 1 CL trophy deep.
It's far too premature to start mocking anyone or anointing anyone.
Edit: by the way, Flick knows this himself, if he's the man and coach I hope he is. He'd agree with what I am saying and tell you all not to get carried away. He knows the really hard work is still to come. If he is thinking Barca have made it then that's a red flag. But he's a professional so I expect he's staying calm and composed.
Thanks mate.If you guys did, then props to you guys indeed.
Appreciate that. Thank you. 👍Indeed. It's looking prophetic if anyone said that.
Yea you're right, it's early days, things could all fall apart in the end, but to be honest I would be shocked if we don't at least win the league.
And yea no one should be "mocking" anyone over flick, because I doubt a sole on here specifically wanted flick as our manager.
To say you don't want Xavi and saying hire flick are two totally different things.
Thanks. I wouldn't call myself a good poster though. Rassvet and Birdy are pretty much the gold standard as posters of this forum and you'd be doing a great disservice to them by putting me in the same bracket as them, which is obviously not your intention here.Agree. FWIW I hope and think Barca will win the league. I am especially confident because Real and Atletico look poor now, and Real are rarely a league team at the best of times.
CL more up in the air as a lot of luck involved there.
Fair enough - well played. Hopefully Flick continues to make that prediction look good, and I am sure he will. All three of you are good posters when you wanna be.
We all know you are an arrogant bastard - false modesty doesn't suit youThanks. I wouldn't call myself a good poster though.

Appreciate the compliment though.
