Marcyniak tonight. He is the uncle Fester for papa Perez. The VAR is the thing. Everything is controlled.

He wants to win something and get media exposition no matter the price. This club is the cancer of football. Just for show and trophy by cheating if necessary.

The thing is, we heard all this when they signed guys like Sterling (who I said would flop), Nkunku and Mudryk.
Some of those players are good (I rate Palmer, Pedro, Estevao and Neto) but others are more hyped up names who will likely do very little. It's easy just to talk about names and say how great a team's attack is before they even play together or have a chance to try to gel, or even perform on the pitch.
Other than hype off the park I don't really know why we should rate guys like Jackson, Delap, Nkunku, Madueke and Gittens. I have watched them all play and they seem like very run of the mill attackers who are hyped up due to social media and FIFA like so many young players are in today's game. The substance and performances rarely match the hype.
It's like people hyping Hojlund, Zirkzee, Mount, Ugarte, De Ligt etc when they went to Man United - people saying they 'won the various transfer windows' - but when they actually had to perform on the pitch they achieved very little. As I predicted.
I feel a lot of players are hyped as a 'name' or a 'superstar' these days without actually being that good, due to social media and players being bigger celebrities than they were in the past. And that's how I feel about Delap, Jackson et al. It's all opinions but mine is no way do these guys help Chelsea get closer to Liverpool and Man City - and with the fortunes they spend that should be the target.
Throw in how much of a basket case that club is, and it's easy to see these names failing or not producing.
Too many fans think signing players or big names is automatically a success. But quite often those players don't actually produce when they have to get down to the nitty gritty of performing on the pitch. Making a signing is actually the relatively easy part. Extracting performances from that player that match the hype is the hard part.
Feels like you're just looking at a bunch of hyped up names and rating them as great by default without REALLY considering if they are that good.
This is my take on it anyway. Maybe I am just older and cynical.

What do you mean nothing to lose? If PSG wins, they will be on course for an unprecedented feat (7 titles in a calender year) and thus surpassing Barca's sextuple (2009). That will make their fanbase even more insufferable. Its bad enough that they mistreated Barca's greatest player ever, push agendas against the current best year (c 'dogmal'), use money to lure our best players and constantly chant vile slogans against the club, becoming louder and more hateful towards Barca with every success..
F QSG and everyone who supports them.

When Barca and later Bayern won the sextuple, the 7th one was not available.
So that comparison cannot stand
Mate, for any Barca fan, any team would rather win than Madrid

Hahaha yeah I said that a month or so ago. What is the point of the Intercontinental Cup when this should have superseded it, lol.Nobody cares, because winning French titles is like winning a beauty contest at a McDonalds.
Just seen btw that FIFA is still running the Intercontinental Cup in December
Fuckin' chumps.

Think vs Real Chelsea would have a chance but PSG is just too strong atm
I take it none of you have met QSG fans in person. I would never side with either Madrid or QSG when there is a third option, whoever that may be.
We may perceive QSG's domestic titles as unworthy. But their season is already being hyped up by both media and neutrals as amongst the greatest ever, some of their players as amongst the greatest ever (Hakimi being hailed as the top 3 goat fullck lol), Vatinha better than Pedri, Doué better than Yamal et yada yada. I even see Barca fans on this very forum acting sympathetic towards them, when their fanbase only has disdain and contempt for us.

Cmon, the greatest ever run doesnt end in a 5-0 win in the final. Just shows how bad the competition was.
PSG league wins are worth nothing.
PSG is good but let's face it, 2015 Barca cooks this team quite easily.
CL was very soft this season.

I dont think anyone here likes them or has sympathies for them - just objectively acknowledge they're a fantastic team and the best team in the world at the moment.
But yeah some of that stuff you said they are doing is silly. Hakimi especially - I rate him very highly but top three RB ever? Lol.

Hype is always gonna happen. PSG are the best team in the world at the minute, but that's all. They still depend on winning the CL year after year to stay popular and this is always gonna be the case until some elite team pops up in Ligue 1 other than PSG. Not looking likely.
