To be honest I am not too impressed this season

Even with both Clasico wins we only 4 points ahead of Madrid

That December slump would have killed the title dream ordinarily

This post alone should give you a lifelong ban.
We went trophyless last season getting thrashed by the likes of Villareal and you're not impressed?

Feel free to punch yourself in the nuts.

Thoughts on the CL campaign? Surely that's an improvement on Barca's recent CL knockouts?
Not really

We got past Benfica, lost badly to Dortmund but somehow got past them and shipped 7 goals to inter. 2014/2015 road to the final was 100x harder

Liverpool in 2018 was 10x stronger then this inter team

I like good defending personally not whatever clownery we have going on

I don’t like having a heart attack every time opposition attacks

Problem with high offside trap is when it does fail, our defenders are by default chasing attackers from behind after the required zig zag movement which I have to say aesthetically looks retarded in every situation which makes tackling extremely difficult without getting a yellow, a red if last man, or giving a pen.

Basically that's the exact opposite how an elite defender should be defending on a routine basis.

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I value the miracle Mister has performed.

A Real Madrid fanatical La Liga president doing his best to weaken the squad.

No signings, apart from one that we probably didn't even need anyway.

A bunch of corrupt Madrid supporting referees giving our title rival at least 10 points and taking away from us at least 5 ( Clown shoes etc ).

Having to rely on a whole bunch of youngsters in the squad, some of which we know are probably going to be lower level La Liga fodder in the future.

Dealing with our best centre back under Xavi, being poor this year ( Araujo ) and instead making Eric Garcia play the best football of his career.

Dealing with our GK problem. From Ter to Inaki to Tek. And all of them are bang average, but it didn't stop Don Flick.

Sticking to his principles of the super high line, even when things weren't going well at the start of the season, reminded me of Pep sticking to his playing out with the Goalkeeper when he was here in his first season.

But perhaps his biggest miracle was winning those 2 cup finals. Those finals are Madrid cheating staple diet. They know a corrupt referee in a knockout game is unbeatable. Or should have been. The reality is is that Barca needed to be 4 or 5 goals better than Madrid just to beat them 3-2 in the Copa Final. And Handi made sure we were 4 or 5 goals better.

And he did all this whilst maintaining his dignity and not losing his cool, where all of us would have done so, facing the same circumstances of blind corruption.

It's truly a miracle what's happened.

Don Hansi is manager of the season in Europe by a country mile.

It was never supposed to be close. Just a bad patch of games, because of a thin squad and injuries, gave the Madridogs hope.
We were and are a much better team than them. It's not even close.
We are going to dominate them this generation too, like we did a decade earlier.

17 games unbeaten since this Year started. We BULLDOZE through.

MADRID CABRON SALUDA AL CAMPEON.

I'd argue that only Osasuna, Las Palmas and Leganes defeats are bad results. And if we win those 3, we'd win the league a month ago.

We always draw away at Getafe. We always struggled against Sociedad away. We lose an Atleti game from time to time and Betis/Celta are decent sides.

If we prevent those 3 results (Osasuna, LP and Leganes), we win the league again next year.
