    Real Madrid (old thread)

    nonono, you misinterpret me. your form and your luck are different things. your form is how you are playing, which right now is devastatingly efficient. but your luck is how decisions, deflections and the like are going for you. which they are right now and you can't deny that. my point is...

    Barcaforum's Biggest Stan? Poll Included

    ward is totally gay for kobe, it's true, but he's not a Stan. at least I haven't seen evidence of it. anyway fuck the heat and fuck the lakers, this is the magic's year! d12 in the house, baby!

    Wayne Rooney

    the key difference between rooney and tevez is you can play rooney as a #9 and he'll play brilliantly as a #9. when you play tevez as a #9 he runs around all over the place, and you'll often not have a striker in the box because of his positional indiscipline. rooney's vision for a pass is also...

    Fernando Torres

    I find it very hard to believe that we'd want to sign torres. but then, I guess, a world-class striker off the bench is prettypretty good. and I doubt he'd even get that bummed about not playing a lot as he's injured all the bloody time anyway. :lol:

    Jack Wilshere

    nah rooney can be world-class, he's an outstanding lead striker when he wants to be. and rio is still the shit, even if he is old and somewhat delicate these days. but yeah, cashley is the most comfortably world-class player england have. although, really, it's not about how many world-class...

    what manner of rumour-mongering is this? never thought you'd behave in such duplicitous ways! :D

    Seydou Keita

    good game today. his contribution to the first goal is being vastly underrated. winning the ball high up the pitch and moving it forward quickly meant messi and villa were facing a back 3 rather than a back 5 shielded by midfielders.

    he's just exemplary of what a footballer should be. utter legend.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    hey, I've been peddling the mourinho kool-aid for a long time. he's a good tactician, a devious user of the media and a wondrous man-manager (basically a 21st century fergie - which is why he's nailed on to take over at OT once the scot retires). but as you say, he's not some kind of god. reial...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    yeah, I see the similarities to 08/09, but reial were never as close to us then as we are to them now - plus the level of opposition was exactly the same coz of that weird fixture set-up. unlike now where they've had mostly easy teams and we've had a much harder run. our squad depth is fine on...

    Gareth Bale

    yeah, AS, 'arry never rated him and only played him because his squad was decimated. then he basically teabagged the bejeesus out of the league and is still doing so, really. he'll be off in the summer to man utd. I'm sure of it. he's the perfect replacement for giggs.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    that's mostly a trend throughout the world of modern football, to be honest. there are exceptions like inter (calciopoli destroyed the competition) and lyon (there was no competition) but mostly teams have a life-cycle of two/three years between major changes. you very rarely see three or four...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    exactly. for me it's not even the 4 in 2 thing that's impressive. it's the manner of his goals and the skill of his play. he's just such a magician with the ball at his feet, it really is a pleasure to watch him work.

    okay, I think we're losing track of what a Stan is. I did as much in my last post as well. Stan != fanboy the only true Stans on here are MJfan with ronnie, galning with zlatan and a bunch of our female members with villa.

    Gerard Piqué

    pep is experimenting with tactics again. I can never tell if he's trying to give the team a wider array of tactical weapons, or if he's purposefully picking less dynamic formations to stem our the tide of our free-flowing football - meaning that when we do unleash the full-force trident teams...

    Sergio Busquets

    clearly wasn't comfortable being part of a double pivot with keita. the midfield lacked leadership and direction 'til we switched to 433 and iniesta went in there.

    Gerard Piqué

    because we were playing 3-3-1-3 for the majority of the game and so puyol and abidal were hybrid FB/CB's.

    Wayne Rooney

    behind liverpool for sure, but their performances in the 50's and 60's put them a comfortable second in terms of prestige, whatever their problems were at the time. now they're #1 in england and certainly top 4 (along with us, reial and milan) of the "modern era" for sure. also, rooney is not...
