    Arthur

    Received a talking to from the club so unlikely to repeat itself. Not sure if Arthur is single (most likely) but he would do good by settling down with someone. Being single and Brazilian in BCN opens up many hazards.:lol: Can't believe that I would see users here criticizing our best...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    That is the cathedral (Catedral de Santiago de Compostela) in Santiago de Compostela (last picture) for those wondering. The old city is one of the many UNESCO World UNESCO Heritage Sites in Spain and the main pilgrimage site in the country.;) But man, I am praying that a club (don't care...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Seems like Benfica is doing a better work talent wise than their cross-city rivals Sporting nowadays. Can't say that I am complaining about that being the case.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Really "curious" to see whether Valverde has learned anything from his mistakes last season at this point in the season. I will get the first clue this Saturday. He simply has to rotate at least a couple of the seniors against Valladolid or at least limit them to 1 half. Players like Malcom and...

    Kylian Muppet

    Precisely. Reminds me of past Spanish and Italian generations hailed as the next big thing only to mostly fail or be completely forgotten. In general few make it at the highest level of each generation. What France has been doing lately is just exceptional and having that extra advantage in...

    Luka Jović

    Gave an interview (apparently) where he quickly spoke about our interested. Was honored to be mentioned alongside a club like us but other than that a diplomatic answer of him being fully concentrated on his Frankfurt adventure. Will play tonight against Shakhtar Donetsk so an opportunity to...

    Champions League

    The point was not whether something was memorable or spectacular (that was a side-comment that later turned into a separate discussion) but what I wrote in post 1711 about how RM has conducted themselves in the CL in the past 20 years and their approach. Rightly or wrongly was not the theme here...

    Kylian Muppet

    In his hometown city and for his boyhood club moreover. Can't fault his choice back in 2017 given that he only had that 1 season with Monaco under his belt. As for him carefully having planed his career, fits perfectly with his career so far and extreme professionalism and conduct given his age...

    Diego Simeone

    Not sure if those Liberman and Vignolo initiated rumors of Messi picking the team have any ground on earth. Most likely utter nonsense given Messi's personality. Sure, there likely was a hierarchy lead by the seniors but you can say the exact same thing about any team. I doubt that they will...

    Diego Simeone

    Not so sure about that. Messi has won the Olympic football tournament back in 2008. That counts as an official NT title. Could still win a Copa América or World Cup title although it is unlikely. Anyway while I always cheered for Argentina, whenever Spain and Italy went out, I don't think that...

    Champions League

    Maybe it has to do with Norway not doing overly well, lol? Yes, post 2002 it is a different Germany from the traditional one that I just described. Not talking about that period but before where they won all of their trophies aside from the World Cup win in 2014. It was during that period that...

    Mauro Icardi

    A few things point against it. Will make bullet points this time around, lol. 1) Icardi is a former canterano who practically left for free. The new proclaimed policy is not to buy canteranos that left for free unless in very exceptional cases. Is Icardi an exceptional case? I highly doubt...

    Champions League

    Which I acknowledged but I was speaking in general terms as I won't or can't give a resume of all of your 13 European Cup/CL winning campaigns as I did not see the first 6 to begin with. Memorable in the sense of winning sure. However it is the same story as with Italy and Germany. How many of...

    Diego Simeone

    Been saying it for a while. Both Atlético and Simeone need new ideas but at the same time I respect this relationship and the fact that a top club in the strongest league of the world can keep a manager this long in a country that otherwise is very famous for not giving managers many seasons to...

    Champions League

    No shamming at all as I don't think that we are much apart age wise. Just baffling that you found what I wrote in post 1711 as controversial. Was it inaccurate? If so, argue why that is the case because I can't spot any wrong claims in my post as someone that has watched all of your CL campaigns...

    Mauro Icardi

    I think that you can count us out. Pretty sure that not even Bartomeu would go this low. It's either RM if Florentino has a brain fart or the EPL IMO. Maybe Atlético as I wrote. Would fit right in.

    Champions League

    What a surprise. I expected something completely different. My points flew right across your head, it seems. BTW how many of those 7 recent RM CL-wins did you watch? Let me guess, the last 4, only? Will take your silence as a yes.

    Kylian Muppet

    Nobody has claimed that this is not the case; him being one of the best attackers in the world already. 2 years ago when he was playing in Monaco, I wrote, on this very forum, that he is set to be one of the most promising players in the world very soon. I actually watched some of his earleist...

    Kylian Muppet

    What did you just write there Luft?:lol: Already ahead of Messi's endless trophy cabinet and C. Ronaldo's not worser trophy cabinet due to a single World Cup win? What the hell am I reading? I have news for you, the World Cup is not as prestigious as it once was when it was the pinnacle of...

    Champions League

    You are too quick there. I was speaking in general terms. You don't expect me to give a summary of all of your 13 European Cup/Champions League winning campaigns, when not having watched 6 of them at all, do you?:lol: My description is pretty spot on. Most Spanish RM fans (the non-biased lot)...
