Messi in La Liga was like 80% of our output. He had numerous performances that won us games. You just needed a good support cast for him to get us over the line, in most years. When he had a great support cast we also dominated in Europe. Of course Messi couldn't do it alone. It's one thing to...

Another troll fest in here. I may be wrong and labelled this discount Indian as OG's new alt, but he seems more like a Messigician one.

Overreacting is people thinking we're better than we actually are. When in fact there is no coincidence or bad luck that we are in this position of not playing for anything and to even sweat about finishing in top 4 or not. Honeymoon period for most of these players we've signed that were...

Known to make you weak at the knees.

Not OG but acts the same as OG. Instantly befriends the usual trolls and also knows the history about Messi thread trolling and OG getting banned. When will this bufoonery stop?

He wasn't dog shit last night though. Maybe he could have taken a chance and went for the attackers head on that cross. But IMHO the whole play was too far from goal for him not to risk conceding and as GK you would have hoped the referee bails you out with a foul or something. Closed the angle...

No, the forum savants will tell you those bums were brought by Messi or to appease Messi. Because that's what Messi did - ask for bum coaches so we can be shit and make it harder for Barca to win anything.

So not only is Pique pulling the strings at Barca, by brokering the Rakuten and Spotify deals, but also at RFEF level. https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/best-phrases-as-barcas-pique-gives-an-impromptu-twitch-conference-13533290

Don't think that bulking up would have helped him not sit there and watch like an idiot as Stegen was getting shot at in the box.

I think squad overachieved in previous games and we also had Pique, Araujo and Pedri to help. Some players like Adama, Auba and Torres had their honeymoon period which is now over. Yeah, on another day we might have won vs Cadiz, but that would have masked the squad level for a bit.

Nope squad and every player in it had their honeymoon period and it finished. At the end of the day we have some oldies on the verge of retirement, some promising youngsters that are just breaking through(of which only one is seen as a big prospect) and some rejects from other teams(most of...

Ah, in therms of real world money most footballers are grossly overpaid. A bum like Braithwaite for example makes more than some leading doctors or scientists.

Why? Still below Neymar, Messi and Mbappe. And CR is best paid player in EPL right now, I find that even more ludicrous.

Yup, we paid some bums to get results like the above instead. It was never about money with Laporta. Not in such a way that a deal couldn't be struck with Messi staying 2 more years and retiring here. It was never the plan to keep him as we moved into a new era.

Everything bad that we thought will never happen has happened. Well everything apart from ending the season in 5th place that is.

As I've said in the chat - we're going to burn through 500M before being able to challenge for everything like we used to. We are miles off Madrid and the gap will get bigger once they get some world class players in.

We already promised him he'll be released on a free. Forget about money or some other shit scenarios that were talked about when we signed him. 'But, but, but if he doesn't turn out good we'll sell in a year for 10M easy'.

It's not about tactics. He came to a club that needed him to be decisive and produce the goods. And he isn't that player. We've been scammed. At City he didn't have the pressure as he wasn't a starter, plus he was rolling with the best squad in the league.

Just look at these weasels planning on how to stay alive on a football forum. :lol:

Some 'real' fans in here saying Messi leaving won't hurt us much. Messi leaves: - we fail to win anything - we get dumped out of CL groups - we get dumped out of EL by Frankfurt at home - we ending the season thinking if we're going to make top 4 - we got a worse sponsorship deal - we play with...
