    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Agree. FWIW I hope and think Barca will win the league. I am especially confident because Real and Atletico look poor now, and Real are rarely a league team at the best of times. CL more up in the air as a lot of luck involved there. Fair enough - well played. Hopefully Flick continues to...

    Manchester United

    Had to laugh at the sycophantic commentator drooling over this lot and mentioning Amorim every minute. They never learn. There was also a lot of wanking over their youth system in the last 20 mins. Remind me who the last top class player they produced was? Class of 92? Also lots of talk how...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Indeed. It's looking prophetic if anyone said that. But, again, I would suggest caution. It's still only three months into his tenure. Barca are looking superb but it could go wrong - I hope it doesn't but we have all seen enough football to know teams look great early and then it all falls...

    Europa League

    Being one of the 17 percent to predict Gala beating Tottenham is good.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    On the other hand, he's currently taking a massive L on Arsenal and got blown to bits on Ten Hag and likely Zirkzee. And it is still early in the season, could still go wrong for Flick (though clearly I hope it does not). And Arsenal could improve etc. Not having a dig at Birdy, but it just...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Fair enough, though to me that is a weird retort. But alas, the creator of that video thought it was a Messi-like goal though, though maybe he was being sarcastic too. Either way, he is an ok dribbler, nobody denies that, but it's clearly not a facet of his game really. No shame in that - he's...

    A massive debate that I wasn't involved in? This just won't do lads.

    Great film - watched it for the second time ever this February. Might just be me but I think Christoph Waltz steals the entire show.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    With all due respect to you (and you do seem like a really good guy), I believe that thinking Lewa vs Ronaldo 9 is a contest is indeed hyping him. You clearly disagree and that's fine. But for me, having seen R9 in his prime, there is a significant difference between the players. Fair enough...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It's nothing personal against him particularly (and to be fair I called Ronaldo R9). But I find all these initialisms cringe - R9, LM10, R10, and especially 'CR7'. Like you say it is promoting a brand rather than a person, and reflective of modern football. I can't remember if Ronaldo was...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Anyway @JustAnotherBarcaFan , it is not my goal to slag him off (unlike Cuntaldo for example, whom I insult with glee). I take no pleasure in criticising him next to others. I like the guy - tremendous player and seems like one of the more normal, decent footballers (without knowing him...

    Europa League

    United should win at home, but you just never know with them.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Fair enough, I am not counting chickens with Yamal. LOL now YOU are doing it. There is no universe where 'RL9' (why call him that?) is on the same level as Brazilian Ronaldo. Brazilian Ronaldo was an absolute genius and one of the greatest PLAYERS of all time, never mind STRIKERS. Plenty of...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Ok. I haven't even said that Yamal will fulfil his potential (though clearly I very much hope he does as I wanna see such a potential genius showcase it). But he's a special talent still and that is obvious. I also agree that his passing is more advanced than his dribbling at the moment, he's...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    The problem you have is you are engaging in a strawman. As I said, everyone knows that Robert is one of the best strikers of the last 30 or 40 years - nobody has denied that. The pushback comes from guys like Temp slagging off R9 (a much superior player) to elevate him, or from Grande claiming...

    Burn him at the stake. Like in Salem.

    Champions League 2024-25

    I see his point but I still prefer 8 games against unique teams than the ultra-protected bollocks the old format was, where you played three teams two times each. It was far easier for the bigger clubs in the previous format. Now only 8 clubs are guaranteed to go straight into the last 16 -...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    That's what I said in my replies, those aren't really dribbles, he isn't like Messi, R9 or Maradona with dribbling. There's no harm in it - he's a legendary player and striker. But Grande and Temp now trying to claim he is a top dribbler (ie giving him attributes he doesn't have) is sheer...

    Have you noticed how much envy and jealousy the players and coaches from Pep's Barca team seem to attract?

    Indeed. I guess it's normal they attract such insane envy. However, I feel that any proper football fan would see that team as the pinnacle of football art. It isn't even just about their success and achievements. It's the beautiful way they done it - so many homegrown players and absolutely...

    Have you noticed how much envy and jealousy the players and coaches from Pep's Barca team seem to attract?

    It occurred to me for many years that Pep, and the players from that team, and the team in general, attract a lot of morons who try to put them down. I will give some examples. We constantly hear about how Barca had a lot of decisions go in their favour, BUT we never hear about the decisions...
