    Neymar - v2

    Initially, what Nolan said. Furthermore, the 'fact' that being a 'hipster' is a trend in no way correlates with what hipsters actually are both as a group and individuals. I see it this way, that if you dress up trendy (some might even say fashionable), wear a pair of vintage glasses and ride...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Thanks for bringing this up. I had completely forgotten about this game. But what I was actually hoping for would be a 4-2-1-3, with Messi playing behind the front three. On another note, I highly dislike us playing both Alexis and Pedro at the same time because their styles seem to constantly...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Agreed. That second line-up is more of a funny thought, more than anything. Messi doesn't necessarily have the stamina nor endurance to play the deep-lying part, and his vision might let him down there as well (not saying he lacks it, but it is not on par with Iniesta's or Xavi's). It will be...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I think Tito experiments with him due to having one eye on the future. Messi won't be able to run as much as he has now in, say, 5 years' time, thus it's easier use his other attributes to the teams advantage like playing more deep or taking over the enganche role Iniesta and Fabregas hold. We...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    This confirms the trend of Messi becoming more and more a striker, than a false 9 by definition. If you look at the way we played back during our treble winning season and where we currently are in terms of our forward three, you see a gradual trend of Messi scoring the heck out of each and...

    Edinson Cavani

    As much as I would like to agree with this, isn't there one certain young Argentinean chap, named "Messi"? I've heard that kid's quite alright. He's no Roque Santa Cruz, though.

    Also, there's another website www.whoscored.com, which I've used greatly over the past few months.

    Do we want Mourinho to leave?

    Yes and no. He has brought his humorous qualities to the club and has effectively turned the White Ballet Company into a White Circus Co. However, as much as it is fun to see Madrid in demise after their first La Liga in a 'slight' while, I am still in utter disbelief of what the Clasicos have...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    No, I agree. To be fair, though, Gai was never that impressive under Pep and you could see his shortcomings already then. A lot of people argued that it's probably due to his young age and he'd get better with time, but when you run with your head down while lacking vision, eye for a pass and...

    How many goals will Messi score in all competitions?

    You think...? To be serious, I think he might top his last year's performance by 10-15 goals. Just hope this statistical marvel stays injury free.

    Neymar - v2

    This. The fact that the whole purpose of counter-culture is to avoid generalizations be it clothes, music of ideas wise (not an exhaustive list), defies the whole idea of something being a hipster-look. It's not, because those initially involved have gone further and created something new...
