    Pep Guardiola

    we should make an Eternity section for it, tbh.

    Neymar - v2

    part of Emery's problem is that Valencia's fans are fucking annoying. some want him to be more offensive, some more defensive. they demand that he dominate the 17 lesser teams in La Liga, and when he does they complain that he isn't challenging Barça & Real. there's basically no pleasing them...

    Gareth Bale

    hey you know how I always say that while we shouldn't sign Neymar because of the cash concerns as well as Villa & Tello but we kinda should sign Neymar because of the potential omgwtfruserious football we could produce? that goes double for Bale. I know he's a monkey-lookin' Welshman, but he...

    Neymar - v2

    I know. I just had to get you to say it. it's all down to Piqué's injury problems. the numbers were much the same. in both years Bilal has been blighted with sickness in the Spring, and in both years we had a key CB miss a large part of the run-in through injury. the difference is that in...

    Neymar - v2

    while I think the flair-levels in Pep's teams are often underrated, Ronaldinho out-flairs everyone, so I can't argue with that. apologies for the misunderstanding. Pep was never going to last. I thought his year-long contracts were just power-plays but I see now that he was being brutally...

    Neymar - v2

    results aren't everything. Pep knows this. and so do a lot of sensible Culés. the hysterical folk who obsess over results are the kind of people that don't really understand the club anyway. they are Barça fans by chance, almost. they could have fallen for any other team if their situation had...

    Neymar - v2

    10/11 was Pep's finest season. it had the effectiveness and adventure present in 08/09 but with better players, better tactics, and a much more refined system of play. we also had to overcome stronger opponents than in 08/09, yet did so with more consistency and greater performance. it had the...

    Thierry Henry vs Samuel Eto'o

    for us? Eto'o by miles. in general? Henry by a hair.

    Yaya Toure

    this is very true. luckily for him, as the heartbeat of the most talented African side (by a distance) of the last 10 years, he has dominated the CAN and won it multiple times instead of being a plodding lazy non-factor. man, that sure would be embarrassing for the big fella if it wasn't true!

    Álvaro Pereira

    I dunno about anyone else, but I never gave up on Cacerés. I'm one of the few people who realise that defenders can make retarded mistakes and still be awesome, let alone have the potential to be awesome. Ramos is the perfect example. you see people ripping him and saying he can't be the next...

    Álvaro Pereira

    who actually owns Cacerés right now? Sevilla? I dunno if he'd wanna come back, but I mean his beef was clearly with Pep who just couldn't tolerate his stupidity, the club seemed to like him. I remember our doctor basically getting a yusuf-style homoboner for him, saying that he was in such...

    mother of god... the Yayaistas have returned.

    Álvaro Pereira

    all true. but 9 times out of 10, he keeps Alvaro in advanced positions. it's just a red flag to me. he was a left-winger. Ronaldinho had that spot locked the fuck down in the first-team, and we were playing a different style of football, it's no surprise he was "rejected." we were about to...

    he's coming this summer after Santos' centenary. mark my words.

    Yaya Toure

    exactly. Yaya is a massive hypocrite. he & his agent forced his way out of here to go get paid absurd money at City. Pep did not force him out at all and repeatedly said he wanted him to stay and repeatedly tried to get him to stay. Yaya wasn't as good as Busquets and he knew it. so instead of...

    Álvaro Pereira

    more sense than Bale, sure, but Alba? a Catalan La Masia graduate who would take about five seconds to settle into the team AND would cost less? no. and look, Tabarez plays Maxi Pereira at RB, so he has a tolerance for attack-happy fullbacks... but does he let Alvaro near LB? does he trust him...

    5 - Carles Puyol

    his physical health is a problem, but clearly this surgery is being done now with an eye to him being fit for next season. with Bartra and Muniesa being promoted, we have enough quality in the team to cover the CB slot as long as Puyol remains somewhat healthy (and buying a CB would just shit...

    Jordi Alba

    you mentalist. I'm with you that our ideal transfer target at LB would be a bigger more powerful guy, but that's not Alaba. he's, what, 4 inches taller than Alba? otherwise he's the same quality of player except not a Catalan or a Canterano.
