I mean when you're playing with 10 men the entire game and your best defender is out, yeah, that can happen

#

Especially against arguably the best playmaker in the PL

burnt cedar
#

Damn wtf

#

Southampton conceding 9 goals in back to back seasons

#

4 times in prem history

#

United and Southampton involved in 2 each

unborn sandal
#

I saw Man Utd - Ipswich, Soton - Leicester last year, and Man Utd - Soton now. Which one was the other?

dim ledge
#

City I think

#

Not sure who against

unborn sandal
#

I recall City losing 8-0 before oil money

proud coyote
#

9 goals, sheesh

#

Almost disgusting

unborn sandal
#

There's no other 9-0 PL history, but there were higher scores before the PL era. The all time record I found is 12-0 twice, one in 1892 and another in 1909 lol

burnt cedar
#

Literally days ago

unborn sandal
#

well, it's not United's fault so nobody can do anything about it, maybe if they find something sus they ban the player until Luffy finds the One Piece or something

burnt cedar
#

Yeah it’s not United’s fault

#

Mainly Southampton’s for playing a player who wants to leave

#

I mean it’s not even there fault as he’s contracted

#

But if a guy doesn’t wanna be there I wouldn’t play him just so it doesn’t mess with the rest of the team

unborn sandal
#

It's crazy, how things happen... it's not even that Southampton are a shitty team - they just beat Liverpool

On the other hand Sheffield have lost against almost everyone by 1 but they can hardly grab a point

#

it's like when PSG scored 9 and the opponent's coach said something like "better losing one 9-0 than nine 1-0". Now we have literal examples

honest umbra
#

What why

#

1-0 is still a close hard respectable result

#

Why would the coach say that

OMG. I still don't know how we fooled Pittsburgh so badly a few years ago with Archer. QueenKEKW

Right-hander Chris Archer and the Tampa Bay Rays are in agreement on a one-year, $6.5 million deal, pending physical, sources tell ESPN.

Archer, 32, returns to the organization where he debuted and found his greatest success.

Losing 9-0 once is 100% preferable over losing 1-0 9 games in a row

That’s dumb, but it is what it is

I don't think the raiders would really want to do this anyways

they REALLY need defense

Then again the Raiders aren’t historically known for making smart decision

No chance in hell they get a 1 for him, he’s on the last year of his rookie deal before his 5th year option would need to be tapped

proud coyote

yeah, absolutely not

#

it'll be at most a 3rd

@dim ledge just watched the replay of United vs Southampton

Holy shit

dim ledge

@simple seal is that from the actual wolves tiktok

#

i just got a notif about it

#

its not as impressive as it seems to me

simple seal
#

Yes

dim ledge
#

they're pretty fucked right now

#

lost two of if not their two best defenders

dull sedge
#

Southampton looked like shit tbh

dim ledge
#

Vestegaard and Kyle Walker Peters are out and they were like

dull sedge
#

Weak ass defending

dim ledge
#

their best players bar Ings and James Ward Prowse

#

watch

dull sedge
#

Huh

#

True

dim ledge
#

once they're healthy Southampton will finish top 8 no problem

dull sedge
#

Like 2 Red cards is already a death spell

#

They were fucked

dim ledge
#

yeah okay

#

so

#

a red in the 80th SECOND is bad

#

i saw the tackle

#

yes it was bad

#

but Mctominay kept playing and it was a legitimate challenge for the ball, albeit somewhat...malicious

#

A yellow would've been far more appropriate

#

and that red card late game

#

that wasn't a fucking red

#

Dean is a dogshit ref

dull sedge
#

That red in the second half gave me whiplash

#

I was like the fuck is this guy doing?

#

And you could see it in the players as well

sweet tree
#

did you see David Luiz's red

dim ledge
#

dude

#

that was fucking bullshit

sweet tree
#

I thought that was a bad decision lol

#

thats awful

dull sedge
#

What the fuck was that

dim ledge
#

Leno fine, yeah, handball outside the box

dull sedge
#

Lmao

dim ledge
#

thats fine

#

and im saying this as someone who rips on Luiz every chance he gets

#

that wasnt a fucking red

#

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A RED

#

BUT PICKFORD WASNT PUNISHED

dull sedge
#

Lmao

#

Pickford was let free

#

I think PL referees lost all memory of the rules lmfao

#

Or judgement for that matter

dim ledge
#

there are some good refs but the big games always have the same 3 mfs that always make bizarre decisions

#

and Dean is the worst of them all

#

VAR is the huge issue at hand

#

like

#

huge

#

and it shouldn't fucking be

dull sedge
#

Yeah, assisted referee as an idea is ass unless it comes to goal line decisions

dull sedge

But what I can tell you is England have no referees going to international tournaments

For ass decision making skills?

Goddamn

dim ledge

English Refs 🤝 Weathermen

#

being paid to be wrong

burnt cedar
#

They’re so arrogant as well

#

Will refuse to accept they made a mistake and VAR corrects them

though i imagine its easy to be a weatherman in england

"right then we've got rain the entire week chaps"

My parents lived in the UK and moved to India just before I was born

Just need football to get big there and maybe I’ll go back again to visit

They’re are making a start from what I’ve seen

ISL is already in full swing here

what i wouldn't give for asian football in general to be good

#

Not as popular as say IPL but yea

dim ledge
#

ok harsh come on thats unfair to ISL lmao

dull sedge
#

India is the biggest cricket nation in the world

burnt cedar
#

I think we’re quite far from an Asian team winning the football World Cup

#

I’d say Africa will get a winner next out of the continents who haven’t won

dull sedge
#

Quite far, but India is getting there with ISL

dim ledge
#

bro i almost pissed myself when Japan was beating Belgium

burnt cedar
#

The keeper was so small

dull sedge
#

Lmao

burnt cedar
#

If only he was a few inches bigger

#

They’d have won

dim ledge
#

poor japan

dull sedge
#

I used to play as keeper on my school team

dim ledge
#

they played great but they also denied senegal a chance at knockouts

dull sedge
#

So I sympathize with keepers

dim ledge
#

i think senegal would've clapped belgium

dull sedge
#

You think so? Huh

dim ledge
#

uh yeah

burnt cedar
#

There was that one World Cup where South Korea clearly fixed it to get to the semis

gloomy meadow
dim ledge
#

i said that before

#

so

#

yes

#

lol

dull sedge
#

I think there would be be a fighting chance but Senegal would take it

burnt cedar
#

The camera makes it so much better too

dim ledge
#

dude if Japan can put in that many against Belgium with that depth, Mane would've ripped them a new asshole

dull sedge
#

Without de Bruyne and Lukaku, Belgium is a fairly ok team at best

dim ledge
#

not to mention

#

Koulibaly is a fucking tank

dull sedge
#

Oh yeah

dim ledge
#

i fear that man

#

(though hes kinda shit this season)

burnt cedar
#

You know what surprised me about him

dull sedge
#

Dude I remember the glory days of cameron

burnt cedar
#

Like he’s so good

#

But when he played arsenal

#

He got destroyed

#

Couldn’t believe it

dim ledge
#

ajay idk what it is

Are you from North London, Ajay?

I mean, it's either that or Tottenham with North London

I would say Arsenal and United are the biggest teams

dim ledge

i jest ajay, I jest

dull sedge

Since that's the Derby

You’d be shocked how little supports spurs have compared to United in north London

Ruben Dias maybe signing of the season

He’s transformed them

Damn

I think you’ll win

dim ledge
#

yah thats a good match

#

i hope so

burnt cedar
#

RBL too open

#

You’ll hit them on the break

dim ledge
#

especially now that we have CBs

dull sedge
#

I'm a Liverpool fan too, used to be for United

burnt cedar
#

It’s about if you can defend

burnt cedar
dim ledge
#

Man dude

#

Nat Phillips should've always been chosen over Rhys Williams

#

not even a question

#

I'm sure he'll have a less than impressive game at some point but altogether he looks way more solid than Rhys ever has

#

This Turkish kid we signed from Schalke will be good hopefully despite it being loan

#

(with option to buy ofc)

dull sedge
#

I wonder who the best keeper in the league is

#

I'm so out of loop

dim ledge
#

Davies looks very determined but...league 1

#

atm harsh

#

thats tough to say

dull sedge
#

Asking this because I myself was a keeper lmao I love that position

burnt cedar
#

I think Emi Martinez

#

Aston Villa

dim ledge
#

ehhhhh

dull sedge
#

Huh

dim ledge
#

honestly

burnt cedar
#

He’s been solid

dim ledge
#

Lloris for me

burnt cedar
#

Nah man

#

Lloris is so overrated to me

#

Can’t save anything near post

dim ledge
#

Lloris always does so much dude

#

nah thats cap

burnt cedar
#

Against you guys he was horrific

dull sedge
#

How has his form been recently?

dim ledge
#

uh yeah because we're fucking liverpool la

#

(though he was kinda shit against arsenal too lmao)

burnt cedar
#

He doesn’t command his box well enough for me

dull sedge
#

Man, I was a huge fan of Barcelona as well

burnt cedar
#

And is an ok shot stopper at best

dim ledge
#

i fully disagree there ajay

#

world cup lloris

#

was insane

#

INSANE

burnt cedar
#

Good defence in front of him tbf

dull sedge
#

World Cup Lloris was insane

burnt cedar
#

Doesn’t have that at spurs

#

So it’s bound to drop off

dim ledge
#

ok i mean if you want in front of box command/good play from the box

#

in combination with shot stopping and positioning

dull sedge
#

He maneouvered them well too, it's not just about the defense

dim ledge
dull sedge
#

He brought his a game then, dude positioned himself perfectly for every shot taken

#

He was good at the line

#

He was good at clearing

dim ledge
#

Ali has been decent this year, top 4 imo, but the best....

#

Emi is def in contention

#

ill allow that

#

even though burnley are ass

#

Pope has been VERY good

dull sedge
#

Let me check up on him

dim ledge
#

and as much as I hate to say it

#

Ederson

dull sedge
#

Ederson yeah lmao

dim ledge
#

i think if all teams were healthy and playing at their best

#

hands down

#

Alisson is the best GK

#

not even a question

#

but without having the reliability that is VVD in front of you and a constantly shifting/jury-rigged defence

#

AND an injury

#

i can forgive him for not having the best form this season

dull sedge
#

Yeah, that's acceptable ig

dim ledge
#

@burnt cedar hilarious that Emi is good as it is as I had slated Nyland to take starting position at the beginning of the season

#

yeah maybe it is emi

#

idk

#

emi has had to make TWICE as many saves as ederson

#

which lets you know two things

#
  1. City's defence is far superior
  2. The fact that Villa only have TWO CLEAN SHEETS LESS than city given this stat shows how good emi is
burnt cedar
#

Emi and Leno were the same level

dim ledge
#

so yeah for me 3 keepers

#

Emi, Pope, Darlow (before newcastles...current run of form)

burnt cedar
#

I wanted to keep Emi cause of the relationship he had with us

#

But I’m so happy to see him do well

dim ledge
#

man

burnt cedar
#

He has to start for Argentina

dim ledge
#

im hoping Minamino does well for Soton on loan

burnt cedar
#

Have you seen the stat

dim ledge
#

and can come back and break into the team

#

his whole situation is so sad

#

no i haven't

dull sedge
#

Interesting

burnt cedar
#

Minamino only started 12:30pm games for Liverpool

#

Which was prime time in japan

dull sedge
#

I'm gonna go watch clips of these keepers that you mentioned lmao

dim ledge
#

i don't like that

burnt cedar
#

His whole Liverpool career was a marketing tool

#

He’s really good too

#

He’s more than that

dim ledge
#

i don't think thats ENTIRELY true dude

#

Klopp wouldn't allow that

#

at all

#

he doesn't even want cameras in the fucking locker room

burnt cedar
#

Has there been many games he’s started in league

#

I don’t think they’d do something like that on purpose

#

But still a weird stat

dim ledge
#

Ill say this

#

on the games he has come in as a sub

#

he hasn't been awful

#

but he hasn't really done anything to slate a starting

burnt cedar
#

Hard to get a run of form

dim ledge
#

yes

burnt cedar
#

But with who’s in front

dim ledge
#

exactly

#

exactly

burnt cedar
#

He’s not gonna get many chances

dim ledge
#

ill say this

#

i'd WAY prefer him to Origi

#

WAY

burnt cedar
#

Same for Ings too

#

Loan could be well for him

dim ledge
#

thats what im hoping

#

he catches form and does well for So'ton and can actually play for us

#

way i see it

#

Mane and Salah slated
Firmino/Jota can swap in and out
Minamino/Shaq can come in

gloomy meadow
#

I just looked at the PL table.... Why is West Ham 5th 😭

gloomy meadow
#

Umtiti is so shit...

sweet tree
#

mans couldn’t clear that shit

gloomy meadow
#

We'd be lucky to not get trashed by PSG with a defence like this. Just lose with a normal scoreline like 2-0 or something, I beg

#

Sell Bootyinho to get a good defender likes Kounde or Upamecano

#

Although we're so down in debt that I don't think we can buy anyone in the near future

sweet tree
#

doubt we would get upamecano, don't really have any money. realistically more likely to get eric garcia on a free in the summer but I'm not sure about that transfer

#

do you have a good stream btw, using a really crappy one at the moment

gloomy meadow
#

Yeah wait I'll dm you

honest umbra
#

One individual mistake and it gets punished

#

Whereas Barca have 12 shots and not a single goal

#

Never a fair game

#

Dembouz should come on for traincao right away

sweet tree
#

yeah

#

its been like that a lot this szn

gloomy meadow
#

100% agree
This is not on Koeman, Barca have been playing well. It's just STUPID defensive errors and Messi/Griezmann missing in front of goal
https://twitter.com/josepintoj/status/1357070430234845184?s=19

I’m sorry dawg. Koeman may be stubborn and sure his man-managing and substitutions are whack. But he is not at fault for literally every defender being a bozo. And no one is exempt.

#

What has happened to Messi's decision making recently though? Dude has Griezmann or De Jong open in front of him, but he'll deliberately do an extra dribble to create space for himself which often results in the chance being wasted

sweet tree
#

2-0

gloomy meadow

That's it

I'm off

wow that game was a range of emotions for me

what a fucking game man

honest umbra
#

but i knew if we could get to ET, we would win

sweet tree
#

yeah

honest umbra
#

these teams arent built for 120 mins

#

but this doesnt erase the fact that our defense gave up 3 goals

#

2 on umtiti, 1 on dest

#

i thought umtiti-araujo was the answer, we must find another answer

sweet tree
#

idk I thought the dest one as a bit soft

honest umbra
#

because mbappe will run 2 laps around umtiti

#

even so, dest looked good in attack and awful on defense

#

but he hasnt played in a month so hes fine

sweet tree
#

Was too focused on the game I burnt my wings

Lol

honest umbra

but umtiti cannot be getting burned by a 35 year old soldado

man did griezmann really have 2 goals and 3 assists

sweet tree
#

dembouz really an f1 racecar ngl

honest umbra
#

wait fdj couldnt be a griezmann assist

#

so that sounds like a lie

#

but he did have 2 goals and 2 assists lol

sweet tree
#

frenkie scores a rebound, Messi shot that one tho

#

2 g 2 a still has a motm perfomance

#

it’s been really good for him this year

honest umbra
#

oh he was amazing

#

him and fdj have been doing great this year

sweet tree
#

I would say alba as well had been good this season, has the most assist for this team. Offers up a lot in attack., defense could be questionable but he’s valuable as well ye

honest umbra
#

why are the semi finals the only round that have 2 legs lol?

#

honestly i was thinking we should play alba at lw sometimes

#

since we dont have a natural lw anyways

#

hes offensively gifted

#

but doesnt have it defensively anymore lmao

sweet tree
#

It was like that last year

honest umbra
#

but why is it

#

5 goals were scored when puig came on

sweet tree
#

no clue why

honest umbra
#

and 3 when our midfield was puig-pedri-fdj

#

maybe koeman.. should learn something?

#

future is now, old man

#

Of course Barca pull off an insane comeback in the ONE game that I got to sleep early

#

If I was watching we would've lost 4-0 and Umtiti would've been sent off

#

A complete footballer doesn't need g+a to have a masterclass

honest umbra
#

@gloomy meadow

#

i watch every barca game

#

and today was the first time i just turned it off

#

but tuned in exactly around 85-87' min when griezmann scored

#

and after that, they went ballistic

#

reason?

#

puig, pedri, fdj were the midfield

#

and the ball went forward into good potential areas

#

also they had 18 corners to 0 and had 35 shots on goal lmao

sweet tree
#

I’ll say usually most Copa del Rey games are kinda boring but ever since it went to 1 game knockouts instead of the usual 2 legs they’ve been fun to follow

#

Was nice to watch tho

honest umbra
#

araujo should have scored at least 1 goal with his head man

#

some really good situations

#

teams will keep conceding corners to us if we cant score

gloomy meadow
honest umbra
#

its fun to follow because it might also realistically be the only title we win this year lol

#

but mala isnt wrong, it being 1 game knockout has made it interesting

sweet tree
#

I meant to say the games are a lot more interesting as usually if we would have lost in the first leg we would wack them at home

honest umbra
#

since barca are crazy good at home

#

like even if we lost 2-0 to granada away

#

we would win 4-0 at home

sweet tree
#

yeah

honest umbra
#

that being said

#

the next round is gonna be a 2 round matchup

gloomy meadow
#

I don't have a problem with a format. I'm just saying Barca isn't "fun" to watch until this year began

honest umbra
#

which i kinda like now if our opponents is sevilla

sweet tree
#

I thought we had a couple of good patches early in the season

honest umbra
#

they had far in between some good performances

#

like that one real betis game early on

#

but i mostly agree

sweet tree
#

But it as hard to see us tick as you know different formations and lots of young players switching in and out

honest umbra
#

the turn of the tide has been griezmann and fdj

gloomy meadow
honest umbra
#

they have turned it up a lot

sweet tree
#

Also the injuries haven’t been good

honest umbra
#

we had also played 3 games less

sweet tree
#

Well yeah

honest umbra
#

when we were out of top 10

#

lol

#

we started season 2 weeks late

sweet tree
#

we weren’t gonna be there for a long time

#

it happens

gloomy meadow
#

Bruh are you really defending our 2020?

honest umbra
#

no

sweet tree
#

Not all of 2020

honest umbra
#

but i am giving a partial view of things

#

you're making it holistic

#

im just generally giving facts

sweet tree
#

I meant some earlier bits of the season 2020/21

#

we had a few good patches, some good some not so good

#

Like that juve away game

#

That was brilliant

gloomy meadow
#

Your view is biased lol, I'm saying it as i call it. Atleti at the time had played the same amount of games as us and were in top

honest umbra
#

yes and they're still top

sweet tree
#

I’m not saying we were good tho

#

Just patches of good and bad

honest umbra
#

you're ignoring points

#
  1. there were a few good games in therew
sweet tree
#

yeah the schedule was weird too

honest umbra
#
  1. we had played less matches than most teams barring ATM
#

like granada were 4th with like 17 points (3 more games played) and barca were 11th with 11 points (3 games less played)

#

there were some awful points dropped

#

the luck wasnt there (the XGA showed how many goals hit the post) and defensive errors (lenglet, fdj) alone accounted for 9 points

sweet tree
#

Hard to see atleti dropping points at the moment, they might just run with t

honest umbra
#

so even if we did play well, it wouldnt show up in the table

sweet tree
#

could get to +13

honest umbra
#

i think felix tested positive

#

but they'll prob still be fine

#

he might miss the game against chelsea though

sweet tree
#

damn

gloomy meadow
#
  1. If ATM were top in the same amount of matches how does that excuse us not being the same?
  2. winning one game 4-0 and losing the next one 1-0 is how a league is lost. This criteria of "few good games" is bs in a league run where each match is important

Look I'm not saying Barca deserve to be at the top because we don't, but to say Barca were "fun" at anytime last year or had a "good patch" is wrong

#

At one point we couldn't string even 3 wins together

sweet tree
#

there were bad patches and good patches I’m not sure what you’re not getting

#

It wasn’t completely bad

honest umbra
gloomy meadow
#

Our majority good matches came against the likes of Ferencvaros in the CL and Valladolid

sweet tree
#

sure we’re a lot better now, but it takes time especially for a new manager to et things right with no transfers being made

gloomy meadow
#

I won't blame Koeman for our defensive errors but there's a lot he's done wrong ever since coming in, Coutinho's injury has been a blessing in disguise

sweet tree
#

It might just be me but I did enjoy some of our matches just like I got frustrated with others

honest umbra
#

we havent shown up at all in big matches this szn though

#

which is concerning

gloomy meadow
#

Ever since he's gone back to a 433, that's when Barca's performances have picked up

honest umbra
#

rm, atm, juve, athletic

sweet tree
#

just juve fate

honest umbra
#

nawhhh

sweet tree
#

away game but they didn’t have ronaldo

honest umbra
#

oh yea we showed up there

gloomy meadow
honest umbra
#

but it was a dembouz deflection and 90 min goal

gloomy meadow
sweet tree
#

yeah but we bottled so many chances that game

honest umbra
#

ironically, today might be the most impressive victory we've had this szn

sweet tree
#

The usual yknow

gloomy meadow
#

True

sweet tree
#

yeah

honest umbra
#

last szn if this barca team went down 2-0

sweet tree
#

I liked bilbao away as well

honest umbra
#

they werent coming back

#

lmao

gloomy meadow
#

I went to sleep because I didn't think this team had the mental strength to come back

honest umbra
#

i agree with you

gloomy meadow
#

Because we've been so mentally fragile for the past 3 years

honest umbra
#

it looked so lacklustre

#

my problem is we are playing better because fdj is in a forward position

sweet tree
#

they showed it in those couple ET games we played

honest umbra
#

but then we cant play both puig/pedri

sweet tree
#

not against Bilbao tho

honest umbra
#

so we have to play busi

sweet tree
#

We bottled that game horrendously

honest umbra
#

if not for that collapse

#

this 2021 would be perfect lol

sweet tree
#

fosho

honest umbra
#

but sadly, it did happen

gloomy meadow
#

I find it so ironic that Koeman insisted on the 4231 to get the best out FDJ, who finally found his best role when we switched to a 433

sweet tree
#

^

honest umbra
#

yea busi also plays better in a 4-3-3 lol

sweet tree
#

busi plays better as a lone Dm

Jinx

honest umbra

he doesnt need someone babying him

gloomy meadow
#

Thoughts on Pjanic

#

?

honest umbra
#

been disappointing

sweet tree
#

busi is the better player imo

gloomy meadow
#

I'm conflicted regarding him

honest umbra
#

would prefer arthur

sweet tree
#

I liked Arthur idk how I feel about him now

honest umbra
#

wasnt pjanic touted as someone who could hit long shots

#

this dudes shots been reaching mars

sweet tree
#

just happy frenkie is flourishing

honest umbra
#

and the one open header he got this weekend

gloomy meadow
#

In moments he shows why he's been so sought after dm for the past few years, in other moments he makes such weak errors that you'd never expect from him

honest umbra
#

it got miraculously saved

gloomy meadow
#

Maybe he needs a run of games

honest umbra
#

yea but aside from today

#

busi has been amazing

#

and its not like pjanic is our future

gloomy meadow
#

True

sweet tree
#

hard to find a replacement for busi

honest umbra
#

fdj will play that role

#

once busi is gone

sweet tree
#

I like him more as a cm tbh

#

fits the role better which is what he does now

honest umbra
#

i know alba played well today

#

but i cant believe we got rid of digne/cucurella

sweet tree
#

cucurella was good

honest umbra
#

did you see digne's pass in the everton game today

gloomy meadow
#

Nahh Digne was extremely average at Barca

sweet tree
#

actually still disgusted we sold him for cheap

honest umbra
#

he def was

gloomy meadow
#

Man played better at CB than LB

sweet tree
#

yeah idk about digne

#

But I liked cucurella

honest umbra
#

also i wonder if we'll buy emerson back

sweet tree
#

nah

#

we also have matheus

honest umbra
#

matheus is a meme

sweet tree
#

who I completely forgot about

#

ye

gloomy meadow
#

As for Cucu, he's fully transitioned into a winger rather than a LB because defensively he's bad. Just like Alba

#

But a bit taller

honest umbra
#

someone wrote a reddit article on this

#

barca have a history of shady brazilian signings

under a certain board

We're like 1 billion in debt 😭

Just keep the club afloat

i originally was going for font but i think his plan wont work out

Font seems to damage conrtol a lot of the things he says

honest umbra

laporta came in blazing and will do whatever to take barca to the top

#

i hate that he has a "plan"

sweet tree
#

ye

honest umbra
#

any deviation from it means he is ruined

#

what if xavi doesnt work out?

#

what if garcia is a flop?

#

what if messi does leave?

#

laporta said F U straight to madrid

gloomy meadow
#

I was originally Font too, but seeing all this shitstorm arguing on Twitter has made me take a neutral stance lol i don't even care who wins, both have a good chance of succeeding

honest umbra
#

yea i was all font

#

but laporta has won me over

#

he's a bit eccentric

#

but he'll take barca to the top

#

he would have easily wiped if elections were 2 weeks ago as originally intended

#

number 1 red flag was font said he'd bring xavi even if koeman won a treble

sweet tree
#

also said griezmann was useless

gloomy meadow
#

People who unnecessarily argue about Font vs Laporta should remember the real enemy is Freixa and Tusquets

sweet tree
#

not a good look at all

gloomy meadow
#

Just get these 2 out and whether it's font or Laporta I'll be content

honest umbra
#

idk who chose tusquets to become interm president

gloomy meadow
#

Barto magic

tusquets is just a remaining puppet of barto

I think it as obvious from the start that instead of doing the elections last year they appointed him to clear up whatever mess they had

honestly that was still wild the socios ended up getting rid of barto

but yeah I hope laporta wins

messi neymar mbappe gonna be crazy

seems illegal

I know Neymar is renewing

mbappe I’m not so sure

I really think he’ll sign for Madrid but it won’t be this summer as they’re broke as us

gloomy meadow
sweet tree
#

that transfer was just weird in a nutshell, we sold cillessen to valencia and we took their gk in the proccess

#

I wanted iñaki to be given a bigger role that time but that transfer saga was fishy if I’m being honest

gloomy meadow
#

That transfer was only good for Cilessen lol. He got a starting role, meanwhile Neto was content with being a backup. We could've sold Cilessen for 40-50m if we had good management

#

And just promoted Inaki

sweet tree
#

yeah was happy for cillessen way to good to be a back up

#

was the more reasonable choice at the time

gloomy meadow
#

Cilessen was so cool lmaoo 😭

sweet tree
#

I remember masip waited years and years to get a prominent role but man rotted his career as a 3rd place gk for us

#

yeah I liked cillessen a lot too

What was the last prominent academy goalkeeper we had? Valdes?

sweet tree

yeah

#

loved Valdes a lot tbf

gets shitted on a lot but I did think he was underrated
