    Penal Madrid

    Villareal are performing amazingly this season. Bale still obviously not settled, it'll take time before this Madrid side get completely at their peak (especially in defense)

    Cesc Fàbregas

    While we did show stupidity in defense, Cesc coming on highlighted one of the major improvements I've seen in the team under Martino: Playing with him really triggers the shift from our previously slow, almost glacial buildup to a quick and vertical based attacking style. Even today, the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Only player in history who's bad games are good games.

    Premier League 2013/14

    :lol: at the stupidity of David Luiz. He wasn't even defending, just randomely jogging around while Naismith scored. He is an incompetent CB, and yet there were some people actually wanting him for Barca. It's either DM or bust for him, because there's nothing that suggests he'll suddenly buckle...

    Premier League 2013/14

    How the hell Mourinho can underappreciate Mata is beyond me. Hazard-De Bruyne-Mata behind Eto'o would be lethal

    La Liga 2013/2014

    Rodri with 4 goals so far this season :lol: only one behind Messi. Who could've seen this coming

    Gareth Bale

    This is easily true. If you want an overwhelming consensus opinion on Messi being the GOAT even from non-football fans perspective, then WC would provide that. It's not exactly fair that one competition can be so defining in a player's image, but that's what global exposure does. CL is more...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    He's always had a lot of potential for success at Barca, but that shouldn't detract from the fact that a fair amount of his criticism was deserved with his previous drops in form. I've never been one to truly doubt Cesc's ability, but you shouldn't act like people were stupid for criticizing him...

    Penal Madrid

    They seem fine in being able to switch around the midfield to accommodate things for injury. Jese has been great for Spanish youth sides and was one of the top scorers in Segunda last season. That doesn't mean he'd make a leap to world class caliber the moment he gets a chance this season, but...

    Oliver Torres

    Saul, doesn't seem very special of a player. He'd easily become a great and versatile utility man in the future, but we have Song and Roberto for roles like that. Manquillo is a wonderful RB talent, but seeing as we have Montoya it's unnecessary.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I don't think the Olympics bid should flare up some Barca/Madrid or Catalunya/Spain rivalry, the reason I'd give is that it's simply a great place to host it. Football-loving city, great weather, great atmosphere, and best of all a great country for tourism. Economics might play a problem, I...

    Cristian Tello

    Obviously Pedro isn't the perfect player, but that shouldn't mask the fact that Tello isn't really some wonderful alternative. As a power-sub, he's deadly. For smaller games, he's deadly. However watch him against any organized defense and you'd be seeing a player at least 2x more frustrating...

    Atlético Madrid

    They've built a team capable of handling multiple competitions and most importantly, cup ties. Defensively they are extremely difficult to break down and they have a strong attack as well. In the league I don't think they'll be able to get 2nd, but they will get pretty damn close. They can get...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    Lot of stupid stuff happened in this transfer window, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't interesting :lol:

    Penal Madrid

    United prioritized better than Barca for who they wanted, but were too stupid to pull off any of the transfers, whereas the Barca board were just inattentive in trying to get a CB when they easily could have. Overall Barca>United this transfer window with ease just because we ended up at least...

    Penal Madrid

    Literally a minute or two after the window closed down :lol: 2 massive fails on the transfer deadline, United fans just praying for this day to end.
