    Maybe if you actually read what I said on the first place , correctly, you’d get somewhere.

    I said the LEAGUE cup was like the Copa ... see you’re reading what you WANT to see in my posts ..

    I still don’t get why you follow one club instead of simply following whatever team(s) of the moment satisfies your jones of playing attractive futbol.
    Out of curiosity how long have you considered yourself a Barca fan?

    Hmh. This sounds vague to me.

    I mean, some people value results, and that's easy. Measurable, get more goals and that's it.

    You say you value "attractive style", but the way you describe isn't clear.

    Plenty of possession? How much? But still, no safe sideways passes or back to the defence?

    What do you mean by "skilful" exactly?

    You can read and interpret things the way you want. Everything I've said past years are more or less become reality and no, not just end of this season. I hate to be right cause I ********ing am, team is old and lethargic, the demise is here and started as soon as Bartomeu got reelected. Barça bought ********ing Boateng as backup, that should be enough reason to understand that things are rotten. You think to little of the club but too much of Bartomeu or Valverde.

    A domestic cup is a domestic cup. You don’t get to decide which one is more valuable on a whim or whenever it suits your argument. Sorry pal, it doesn’t work that way. So you can spin it any way you like, it’s the same principle. Nice try though. You’re still wavering left, right, and centre ;)

    If you can’t explain it simply than you do not understand it well enough. Next.

    No, it's my third language.

    It's just that you say you care about style more than results, but when I ask a couple of simple questions of what separates a good style from a bad style, you can't answer.

    Fair enough if you say you can't explain.

    Haven't you heard?




    Arsenal 7 Valencia 3.

    ARS VAL 7-3

    But as Valverde said "It is what it is"

    Bartomeu: "Its not the coaches fault"

    Conclusion: Valverde is Mourinho throwing the players under the bus.

    Again, you just said Alba has been out of form and was playing because of his name. Explain that.

    You also complained about Suarez. Said that letting Bravo go to play MAtS was a huge mistake. Reminded us of that when MAtS made every little mistake. And God knows what else over time that didn't come true. And over that time we at least kept winning La Ligas, CdRs, and one CL. We were always going to have a downturn when certain pieces got older. It's like people saying there is a recession coming. And then when it comes after 5-6 years of predicting it, then say ... see, I was right.

    And don't get me wrong ... I want EV out. And Bartomeu.

    It's not getting better is it? Do you see a positive trend? I don't! I'm still more right than you and few others ever were.

    MATS deserved the blame cause he was making blunders which directly cost points. Then he shaped up, let's leave it at that. I complained about Suarez because he started off like shit but then I changed my opinion cause he started delivering. But you only remember when I complain. Selectively!!

    Now I'm going to piss you off just cause of that. Alba is the reason Barca lost against Liverpool and Valencia. Not Shitmedo or Craperto, actually its MATS fault, he let that shot go under him. Oh btw I changed my mind, it's Messi ********ing fault cause he over did it in Anfield when he had perfect chance. Then again it is Dembélé fault cause he is playing video games with his pals. [emoji23]


    I keep discussing the club but you lot wanna discuss us cause we're criticizing the club but never say what's the plan? Stay on route to Europa League?

    You misread then misquoted my post and criticised me for something I didn’t actually say .... now you’re continuing even after I’ve highlighted YOUR errors ....

    Classic ... just classic .

    I’m just disappointed that I’ve wasted so much time and energy on an imbecile..

    Sure man. Whatever floats your boat. As far as wasting time on an imbecile goes, I think it’s pretty clear who everyone is tired of wasting time on around here and I’m pretty sure it’s not me... Yikes. Nice try again, though. You are the weakest link.... Goodbye.

    I neither said nor implied that I expect us to win a trebel every season.

    Some of the posters in this forum needs to calm down. Not everyone expressing their frustation/discontent with the current situation is demanding for a win in every competitition/match.

    No, but a select few tend to go apesh1t every time there’s a misplaced pass or a shot on goal doesn’t go on target. The only thing missing are the complaints about how the pre-match handshakes were conducted.

    When now you're blaming Alba, Busquets ... you're more wrong than right. And mind you, we have still won leagues and CdR titles. This last one we were missing Suarez which makes a big difference.

    You were really wrong on MAtS and Suarez. Period. You made storm about them. When Bravo was sucking at Man City you were making excuses for him.

    You're boasting to be right. But you always complain. About EVERYTHING. So no, I am not being selective. It's like posting on twitter 3 predictions about a game (win/lose/draw) then after the game deleting 2 of them and boasting about being right. While you've been complaining we've won a bunch of league titles, CdR, and a CL.

    Barca have made some shady signings. Like Boateng. There were others in the past. Like Keirrison and others. Not going to deny there is some rotten shit behind the scenes. You seem to think we can sign a Lewandowski to be a plan B and have him sit on the bench. I haven't seen you made any suggestions for signings. Just complaining.

    To EVs defense, he inherited a mess with Neymar sucker punching the club. The board jumped the gun on Dembele and then got Paulinho which was a weird signing that didn't turn out bad. Dembele went straight to injury. So things could have been a lot worse and we pulled the double even if a lot of it rides on Messi. Alba was given an important role and thats why he is not just saying when he says he wants him to stay.

    We also when desperate for Coutinho mid way through the season a paid a sum that is too high even if he fulfilled his potential. Everybody thought we overpaid, but nobody thought he'd end up struggling so much. His start was actually OK.

    This season Coutinho has slumped and Dembele got injured just when EV started gaining confidence and counting on him. That's not his fault. I guess it could be said that he failed to integrate Coutinho but I think that may be beyond any small tactical shift. What I do blame him big is for not integrating and using Malcom even if he has some clear deficiencies. Perhaps given Coutinho's price tag, he felt obligated to use him.

    So while EV has failed big in the CL (and really it's only viewed that way because he blew big leads from 1st leg), I think it could have been a lot worse given the circumstances. Even if again, it was a lot down to Messi being brilliant.
