Real Madrid not taking the King's Cup seriously.... And yes while it has a political meaning for Barca and Bilbao, it theoretically should have just as significant a political meaning for Real too...

Not a fan of Txiki either tbh. Barca have a habit of being made fools of transfer-wise. As I said in the Transfer Rumours thread, such is the life of a culé. Don't really care much about it since we just came off the back of a treble!

Uuuuuh no....? You being in Europe or not does not impact in any way the transfer fee you have to pay for a player. It would impact the salary you have to pay a player, but not the transfer fee you pay to another club or owner...

Madrid lack style and identity, as Viva and CA put it so rightly. They are an extremely effective team and they possess great individual talents. They are always dangerous. But with the constant boardroom chaos, changes in managers and huge spending, the lack of cantera and the frequent player...

I know... I just always think back to him playing against us in the CL - whenever he'd get the ball he'd already be a mile offside, so the referee would obviously stop play and the camera would zoom in on his face. AAAGH :banghead: His positional play against us was horrific, he had something...

Beast, I agree with you when you say that Nike don't innovate too much. Well, actually I don't entirely, although Adidas innovates more. Cause look at Barca's away kits of late - the neon, then the orange, then the blue and then yellow with the stripes. All of these are very intricately designed...

Football boots, yes. But definitely not kits. Look at Barca's kits of late. They've been so well designed. Now compare Chelsea and their stupid "Spartan Pecs", also Chelsea's cheap copy of our neon kit. I think the Milan kit is ugly as hell and that doesn't do Adidas any favours cause there...

Then they'll find another use for Getafe, other than being a feeder club. They'll also share training grounds!

Yes I agree with Viva and Galning, it's too early at the moment and we have to see how Pep does. At the moment it would be Pep purely for achievements but we'll see. Hopefully it stays that way ;)

Okay that makes sense - imo I wouldn't entrust the CF role to him at Barca, and the only way he could be 'safe' to come is as a backup striker, letting him slowly adapt and fit in. That however would destroy Bojan's career and I don't want that. Anyway I hate his face quite a lot. :p

Well he only has just over a 1:3 goal ratio, which, for the league he plays in and for the team in which he plays is quite average. Especially since he's the little pet there.

And the question that I have to ask every single time - what of Bojan then? Our team would implode if we had the egos of Ibrahimovic and Benzema competing for one spot, and repressing the development of the beloved Catalan Bojan. Not to mention that Benzema sucks.

Yeah I agree with you there CA. Obviously I would concede that Platini holds a bias against EPL clubs but at the same time I wouldn't base it on these comments.

Yeah Viva I'm worried, firstly because Hungary's fixtures will be insanely tough. Sweden and Denmark once each, and Portugal twice. So they will obviously be the deciders for 2nd place, and even possibly first. It's all come down to the top teams playing each other, and the entire order can...

If I could actually go out and watch the matches live, and live the whole World Cup experience... if it has to be football-related, then I'd possibly even trade watching Barca for a year... Course I could still experience Barca news and the forum but yeah :sad: Although I'd 1 million percent...

Well yes, that's a fair comment, but then again this kind of money-movement just doesn't happen elsewhere, so in a way his bias is justified. We can't really test his bias because the clubs he sympathises with haven't done the same. One thing though must be noted for example is the way he let...

I'm so glad he didn't. Frank deserves better than that...

And so is his fate... :jacko:

:goodpost: Actually, excellent post.

This is a fantastic thread and a great poll! By the way, I think that if Cáceres stays, then he will score from a header from a corner, and be the first one to break his duck. Although I did score an insane goal with Abidal on FIFA, with an Henry assist, and I even got the "One goal per season"...
