The richest clubs that get their transfers right are the ones that dominate, totally irrespective of who is manager. Everything else is fleeting and/or an exception that confirms the rule. Take your ten best managers and put them in 10 poor clubs and they will get the exact same poor results...

Oh, I was wondering how we missed on BOTH Isco & Kovacic. As for Asensio, he is an amazing talent as well. Both Isco & Asensio have been immense whenever I watched them play. Sigh, it makes me depressed.

We only very recently lost to both Depor and Malaga, had a tough win over Sociedad at home. Real Madrid needed a last minute goal vs Gijon and drew at home to Atletico. Chelsea have the same number of points as Real Madrid in the same number of games. It's more that there are legions of Prem...

After the cataclysmic omniwank (which I was alone in ridiculing) over Jose at the end of the 09/10 season, Jose manifestly failed to remotely follow-up in any way whatsoever. He had three entire seasons to get "La Decima" with a Real Madrid and he FAILED. To further underscore the magnitude of...

The role of coaches in general is grossly overrated by both fans and pundits. Hence, both Pep and Jose are mightily overrated as a byproduct.

^^^ Where's Xavi?

Tonight is up there as well, but the 2011 heroics resulted in a CL triumph so that one takes the cake.

Clearly.

I've said it before and I will keep on saying it. Anyone who compares any other player to Messi just lets everyone know he's totally clueless about the game of football.

Messi Rakitic Iniesta HM: Mats, Roberto, Biscuits

This is an interesting take from another forum:

We were extremely unlucky not to score at least one goal in Turin. Juventus had something like 5 very good chances and scored 3 of them. We had four and scored none. Tge 3-0 scoreline was way too harsh on us, but the damage has been done. Only a top-of-the-line performance, an early goal and...

We had so many decisions go against us in countless CL matches (Inter 2010, Bayern 2013, Arsenal 2006, Arsenal 2011, Atletico 2016 etc) yet most jealous cunts call us Uefalona.

Already 2 Spanish clubs in the semis. Real Madrid got lucky breaks. It's not looking good for us tomorrow.

Madrid got a massive push tonight. As for Bayern, they were in fact extremely lucky to be in the tie by the time that Vidal got sent off. I agree that BM were not that great in either of the two legs.

Fucking this!!! BTW, I don't remember any Bayern fans complaining when their first 3 goals against us in 2013 were a) a foul on Alves, b) Gomez offside and c) foul on Alba. As for offside goals, Milito was another extra yard more offside (than Ronaldo was tonight) when he did the 3-1 against...

Finish Malaga off in the first half. Then rest Iniesta, Messi and either of Suarez/Neyboi

Atleti throwing us a real lifeline here!

That awesome shot on the 4th minute! Would have been goal of the year if it went in.

If he can shine in the upcoming CL games could be mega-decisive.
