Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

And here I thought @4x4 was the Tucker Carlson of Barcagate, here to show us all how the misunderstood refs were merely tourists taking a walk in the park and the deal between Barca and Negreira a standard business practice.

But this disassociative disorder theory might also help explain things. I mean both can be true at the same time.

 

Well I generally find myself agreeing with 4x4s in a lot of points (not every). But being here long enough to realize he sometimes gets into that narrative that he kinda feels like he has to be "the voice of reason" when the whole forum is passionate about something. That's why it feels like he's being a contrarian again now. It's basically the same thing that he did with Bale if you remember the arguments on the Bale thread.

 

And the consensus remains the same. Bale is a d1ck.

I guess we are all gonna find out at some point several years down the line that Barca - the club, it's players and supporters are a bunch of cules.

What a revelation that will be after @4x4s convinces us they are the best humanity has to offer.

 

I'm not necessarily passionate about this; I just believe that a club (regardless of whether it is a Barca, Leipzig or a Monza) that has potentially acted in a fraudulent manner should be appropriately disciplined. The nature of Barca's alleged acts suggests that they deserve the highest of punishments, as it touches on the fundementals of the sports. Taken that into consideration, I'd say he's far from "the voice of reason". It almost looks as if he's doing this on purpose, just to get people riled up. The thing is, and I've mentioned it before, people have been very reasonable considering the nature of the allegations. I don't know, it's a shame.

 

I get that. I've seen some games that I never would've watched, but since an ex Real Madrid player played I did. I pretty much always cheer for our exiles, unless they really messed up and hurt the club somehow.

Xabi's success makes u wonder if Raul could have a similar success with Schalke.

 

So funny to see 4x4 who led the mob ganging up on someone with a different opinion with the whole contrarian bullshit to now be labeled himself the same by that same mob.

Dont worry @4x4s, when your opinion is not in line with the hivemind, its independent/critical thinking, when mine isn't, its just because I'm stupid. pretty simple

 

Raul would be dumb to take a job at Shalke.

He's in line to get the job at Madrid. The surest way to mess that up is to take a job at a mid level club where he won't win titles and the lack of titles result in him being ruled out of consideration for the job in favor of other candidates with the already won titles qualifications.

 

Yeah

he is even better off being an assistant at Madrid

 

Pedri ruled out of the game according to AS

 

You appoint a bunch of judges with particular political leanings while closing off the path to others. Over time, incrementally, judgement will be passed towards those leanings. Not a simple caught you red handed, rather more complicated than it seems on the surface.

 

Its desvastating to la liga which is allready in the shits.

 

🚨 Leo Messi left Tuesday’s training because he was disappointed with what Galtier proposed. The coach tried to convince him to stay but Leo went home anyway. @Djaameel56 🇦🇷🔦

[QUOTE="4x4s, post:If Barca have been caught guilty of manipulating games, we discuss it in this context. So far they haven't so that's the context i can see it as. [/QUOTE]
I had to lol at this statement.

 

Agreed, this is what I was saying as well.

For the record I also agree with the argumentation about the issue (that should tell you how wrong you are lol), it just doesn't motivate me enough to argue about it. imo Corruption is endemic and Im not getting all manichean on the issue just because anything Barca does triggers my identity to seek reinforcement. Its neither surprising nor unheard of in football. We lost titles through our own fault of not playing well enough during the season.

 

'Pool have been linked to Mount for a while now, I wouldn't be surprised if some "conversations" have already taken place between certain parties.
