    Give it a rest with the it is more demanding bs, the only thing that the EPL has on every other league is marketing and money. Staying healthy? Neymar has been fairly healthy at Barca and more or less throughout his career. A few games here or there isn't that big of a deal. Defensive quality? I...

    If anyone watched RM and C.Ronaldo, you'd know he is already declining compared to previous years. His numbers are still very impressive, but his play-style is much different. This year he dribbled less than any previous year at RM. He is becoming less dynamic compared to previous years. Before...

    Hypothetically, if you were able to play them against each other, without either them being able to know the other, I think the current one would win. What doomed the 2011 side was teams being able to figure out how to play against possession based teams. That side didn't have a plan B when...

    Seeing Pirlo tear up and cry was bittersweet. Also no UCL title for Buffon is disappointing in a way as well considering he has been the best goalie of this generation. If Juve are able to keep Pogba, they should have a solid team again next year.

    It was mentioned that Suarez felt a bit of discomfort in his hamstring during halftime. As a precaution Enrique took him off since, if La Liga isn't cancelled tomorrow, Barca have a league winning game against Atletico this weekend. I wish they played the game out for the full 90, but the entire...

    Are you new to this? Pique has been shit since 11/12. He cannot play defense when he doesn't have Puyol holding his hand. Its a bit better with Ramos for Spain, but he is still average at best. Rossell and Zubizarreta are both shit at leading the front office. Rossell gets a hard-on for...

    http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...-joins-arsenal Real Madrid dun fucked up! As a Barca fan, you can't be happier when they got rid of one of their top performer of the last 3 seasons. If Isco slumps, they have little to no creativity in the midfield. Kaka/Ozil gone, Xabi is old and...

    For sure, it will probably the one of the deals of the transfer season if it actually goes through. When you look at other players that have gone for around that value, its puzzling how Ozil is only valued at that.

    I really really hope this is true. If so, RM would have gotten absolutely destroyed this transfer window. Not only did Levy absolutely handle them by overvaluing Bale by about twice his true value, but they would lose their midfield talisman of the last 3 seasons. Sure Isco has been doing...

    Him and Alba had a battle of the cunts yesterday. Pretty even match up so far in who is the bigger douchebag.

    To be honest, there really isn't much talent around that is available. Why Rosell didn't budge on Silva last season is beyond me. He had probably his best season and went to a club which doesn't care about money, yet Barca somehow figure they can try and get him now. Also most consider...

    I am waiting for Barca to step in and finalize it. Their first choice of Thiago Silva isn't happening. Even if it was possible, I would hope Rosell would have some common sense and not buy him since something like 50 mil for a 29 year old is down right silly. Marquinhos has been second choice...

    I never really denied that. He was a surplus addition and seemed forced by Rosell. Rosell has been trying to keep making massive landmark deals to solidify his legacy as president. He has made 8 signings so far and reinforced the weakened back-line a whopping ZERO times (Alba and Adriano don't...

    Villa had no interest in leaving Spain. I believe in 2008 or 2009 Chelsea or another EPL club (think it was Chelsea) wanted to drop tons and tons of money on him and go beyond anything Valencia could offer. He declined. The bonus for Barca selling him was getting his pay off the books. I believe...

    I am glad Valdes is going now vs. hanging around for another year even though Tito tried to convince him. His 10mil or so transfer fee will go to great use for another goalie or center-back. Coentrao seems like a massive loss for RM. His current price tag that is being thrown around (15 mil) is...
