(their players naturally have better physical skills than our guys)

Just a tiny clarification for the known agendas of good old BBZ. These are essential and elementary footballing principles, not truly wise to argue with:

There is no such thing in football as physical skills.
There are related factors:
- physicality is NOT a skill, it is either a bodily state or an aptitude.
- physically strong players can be extremely awkward, slow, clumsy or inflexible, if their physical strength (or even height) is NOT combined with actually technical capabilities.
- in contemporary football the execution speed is almost EVERYTHING, regardless physical strength, hence less bodily-mass can often be an advantage.
- endurance is also a physical factor but it is not a skill either.
- most physical factors can be worked upon but only to a certain extent, usually the general state will be determined by specific training.
- a fast and technically gifted player is ALWAYS preferred by 99% of coaches, physicality is just an additional factor - for mostly defenders.

Okay I'll admit - the weather is absolutely terrible right now. There's a storm going through Spain and it's ridiculously windy and cold (for bcn standards).

But seriously, if that tweet about Pique is true, it exemplifies the kind of pussy(s) he and his amigos in the team are. We've known all along that some of these players are spoilt bitches, none more so than Pique. It's amazing to think how so many people want this guy to be President.

Never understood what Shakira saw in that guy.

1. Good looks (face, height, athletic body, shoulders, muscles, beard)
2. Insanely high popular status (one of the best footballers in the world)
3. Money
4. Similar interests/lifestyle/job since they are both celebrities
5. They are both from a similar cultural background (Latin countries)

We don't know how good his "game" is, how good a lover he is and whether he has bad boy/adventurous traits in their free time.

Basically, from known factors, he ticks majority of boxes to attract her as a person and as an animal.

You're exponentially more likeable when you post about relationships.

Can you stick to that thread only, please?

Not shocked at all by Pique.

The guy was one of the best in his position when focused, but the dude is basically soft as fuck now. The only thing worse than his attitude is his legions of Fanboys on twitter who defend him on everything and claim everything is fake news and shit.

It's fake news/bad translation. He said "WE'VE CANCELED TRAINING FOR LESS". Probably referring to EV.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks fun? Playing while it snowed, rained, or even hailed as a kid was sometimes more fun than regular LOL

I know what you mean - playing in the rain is actually a lot of fun...but the weather right now is horrendous. There's winds of up to a 100kmph through the city over the last few days and you can barely keep your eyes open - let alone the biting cold that those winds bring. We're scheduled to play football tomorrow too, waiting to see how many of us show up :lol:

Why not just wait and see if this training regime is going to be too hard on the players and detrimental to results? Oh wait that would require a level head my bad.
Any player that QS's training sessions are too hard for should be immediately benched and hopefully get rid of asap. There are way harder jobs than kicking the ball up and down the field for thousands times less monetary reward.
