    Xavi Hernández

    What you are failing to understand is that without reliable goalscorers, playing a possession based football is utterly pointless. Lewandowski is way past his prime and in terminal decline, behind him there are 0 alternatives. The only times FC Barcelona has been successful playing possession...

    Camp Nou

    Multiple locations to relocate to a new site was studied, the most promising was a land swap deal with the grounds owned by the university a km south west of Camp Nou. A site located next to the harbor was also studied, eventually both were discarded. Doing nothing to Camp Nou would cost the...

    Kylian Mbappe to fc barcelona ?

    Can you please tell me what you are smoking, because it has to be something extraordinarily powerful. FC Barcelona is bankrupt, as in the club can't even afford to pay the players wages and has to come up with tricks all the time to cook the bookkeeping. Even after selling of the clubs assets to...

    Messi best season with Barca

    2008-09 Barcelona had not won anything since 2006, Messi scored critical goals in all the important games of the season with exception of the CL semi final against Chelsea and the cup games against Espanyol. He scored match wining goals against Real Madrid home and away, he scored a hat trick...

    Xavi Hernández

    This is the first time Emery has had a squad of this quality where he has not had to babysit a bunch of self declared second coming of Jesus like Neymar or Aubameyang. 20 wins in the first 32 league games is up there with the Villa teams of the 1890s.

    Xavi Hernández

    Arteta almost managed to equal Udo Lattek as the greatest clown in league history. Udo Lattek with FC Barcelona had a 5 point lead with 6 games left, only needed 2 wins and 1 draw to win the league, managed 2 points in final 6 games. Arteta was just slightly better, had a 5 point lead, needed...

    Xavi Hernández

    This threads favorite FAP fantasy got royally humiliated against Emery, the new Spanish darling in England with the overwhelmingly impressive record of 12 wins from 83 games against the Spanish top 3. De Zerbi is the most overrated manager I have seen since Real Madrid hired Benito Floro (Harry...

    Xavi Hernández

    The fact that he even get a draw out this bumbling bunch of idiots is all the proof I need to surrender all my doubts. But 3 points against these heavyweights, I mean Celta Vigo, the Viking slayers from from the north, I say we need to start thinking about were we are going to place the statue...

    Ballon d'Or 2023

    I could not care less who win the award, to me it has no objective criteria and you see every year players on the list who has done nothing and even spending a large part of the year injured still making the list. Still if Messi do win it I will go down to the local supermarket and get me some...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    You would have to look at many different contexts, such as final scoreline of the game, what type of competition, is it a group stage match or a knockout match and if it is a winning goal in a final? Pele for example scored a lot of free kick goals in the state league where Santos won with huge...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Messi keeps moving up the list, one more goal and he is 3rd on the list, I'm pretty sure he will catch Pele. Free kick goals 77 goals: Juninho Pernambucano 70 goals: Pele 66 goals: Victor Legrotaglie 66 goals: Ronaldinho Gaucho 65 goals: Lionel Messi 65 goals: David Beckham 62 goals: Diego...

    Phil Foden

    Foden made the Ballon d'or shortlist in 2021 and 2022 at 21 and 22 years of age. Iniesta only made the shortlist in 2009 age 25 after winning the treble when he finished 4th. I really think calling him the Stockport Iniesta isn't all nonsense even if they are actually different as footballers.

    Phil Foden

    Foden plays in the best squad and possibly the best midfield ever assembled in English football. He has ballon d'or level players left and right to compete with. Iniesta had to compete with Deco, Van Bommel and Edmison for a place in the starting eleven when Barsa won CL i 2006. Non of those...

    Xavi Hernández

    Actually you are right, the squad is atrocious. A 35 year old goalscorer in terminal decline. The backup is Ansu Fati who last season scored 10 goals in 51 games. The only of those 10 goals that had any impact on the match came against Mallorca when the league was already won. Third option is 16...

    Xavi Hernández

    Absolutely unrealistic expectations on a squad full of shit players to believe FC Barcelona has any business playing European football. We have replaced world Champion footballers with third rate rejects like Romeu and Christensen. We have not had a worse starting eleven since the likes of...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Ronaldo is an idiot. Baresi is ahead of Maldini every day of the week in both AC Milan and the NT.

    La Liga 23/24

    Oh boy, I'd love to know what magic shrooms you are eating because the alternative reality you live in sounds a lot of fun. Ferran Torres 20 goals! when he in his entire career has only scored 23 goals in 150 games. And Rafinha who has scored 55 goals in 222 games of which 6 goals in 30 games...
