MY God! That Real Madrid was soooo bad! I completely forgot about such "players" as Gago and Drenthe! Jesus! Current Sevilla would blow them out of the water I think. In 08/09 we were swatting teams aside within 15 to 20mns, it was THAT easy! Or let me remind you of the Lyon team we faced that...

Better bite a few people here and there from time to time rather than being a complete douche with ludicrous celebrations such as CR7. Hope he doesn't bite again though because FIFA will be all over his Uruguayan ass.

You forgot to mention the part were Pep had the most awesome collection of footballing talent on one green rectangle the world has ever known. Otherwise, I fully agree with you. What if he wins both? Plus the Copa? I think he does. And I quote: And this, even more bizarre line: It's as...

The best thing in club football is Barca winning the Champions League. For us Cules at least :lucho: The second best thing in club football, is Jose Mourinho getting knocked out of the Champions League. That happening in an embarrassing manner makes it all the sweeter. That happening while he...

Spain and Barcelona went into beast-mode because they had the players to do so. Managers are secondary at best. That Korea QF in 2002 was daylight robbery! The Spanish team of that year could definitely have won the WC. Such a shame.

Well, if Villarreal are in there... And in any case, neither of those two teams is too bad. In fact Schalke almost knocked Madrid out of the CL. Shame they didn't!

This thread is so 2013!

There is considerable luck in the CL, that much is true, but definitely a lot less than 50%. Let's be serious. In the league there is also a lot of luck, since we and Real are extremely close every season, and one odd game (or a few ref calls) can sway things either way. Only in one season...

Remember a few years back when fans of rival European leagues would always talk La Liga down for being noncompetitive and being a two-horse race and the rest of the league being piss-poor and cannon fodder and blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda??? Well, let's see how things have turned out...

Your first point goes without saying. On your 2nd point. Why is that exactly? Have we become just a random club all of a sudden? Messi alone? What about Neymar and Suarez? What about our history/legacy and the wages we can offer? We are still beating the petrodollar clubs, I think we still...

Winning the CL is not only about the very obvious reason that you mention. Winning the CL adds to your revenues, prestige and drawing power. This is undeniable. If Pogba insists on massive wages that will smash our wage structure, then maybe we should forget about him, also if Juventus make...

Offload Bale for Aguero.

So the fact that Lucho has better results than Pep despite having a squad of lesser quality should be thoroughly discounted according to you? And who is this better coach than Lucho? I want him to stay even if we win nothing. We need younger and better midfielders, not a new manager.

You can also add that PSG now have nothing to lose, only their injured pride to salvage! While we may show complacency and distraction due to the tight and brutal La Liga race still ongoing. Having said that, I remain positive due to the fact that the Camp Nou should be packed, the CL theme...

I am sorry to say it, but this is beyond stupid!

You have to win the EL. It will not be easy to leave Russia unscathed (Hulk will be back) but a draw with the winner of Dnepro and Brugge will help you a long way.

Let me also add that back in 08/09 La Liga in general was far less potent than it is now. This is undeniable. We also faced much weaker opponents in the CL that year (Basel, Donetsk, Sporting, Lyon and a weak Bayern. This season we have faced: Apoel, better defensively than that Basel, Ajax, PSG...

But his inane attitude was there all along. He was never to be taken seriously a footballer.

Fuck you Gameiro! Why couldn't you miss against us???

That's how it is when you have mid-week games right before.
