#

Yeah we've just stopped attacking now

restive sundial
#

Free kick oooo

#

Lol rip into the wall

gloomy meadow
#

Everytime I see Dembele I'm just reminded of how badly we need Fati to come back

#

Wtf

restive sundial
#

2 away goals

#

Wait offisde maybe

gloomy meadow
#

Nevermind why am I even shocked. Been seeing this shit from the past 3 years

sweet tree
#

Mbappe 2nd

#

They’ve been better

gloomy meadow
#

Watch them mentally collapse now

#

3-1 soon

restive sundial
#

Mbappe hat trick

gloomy meadow
#

Told you

#

I'm invincible

sweet tree
#

that’s done

restive sundial
gloomy meadow
#

I predicted 8-2 play by play. This is child's play

sweet tree
#

The defense is finito

gloomy meadow
#

Easy to know what's gonna happen when you watch this shit for 3 years straight

restive sundial
#

And this is without neymar and di maria

dim ledge
#

Can you guys be better so I don't have to deal with the prospect of having Messi on fucking city?

gloomy meadow
#

Dembele is so shit, makes Braithwaite look like a Balon D'or player

hasty basin
#

Mbappe

#

Hat trick

#

Lmaooo

gloomy meadow
#

Easy 4-1

#

They can get one more if they want. Plenty of time

sweet tree
#

Mbappe hatty looool

gloomy meadow
#

The team collapsed the moment the score became 1-1

hasty basin
#

Still 0-0

#

Lads

#

Come on

honest umbra
#

Man It’s so hard to watch Barcelona

sweet tree
#

there’s another leg as well

#

fuck me

gloomy meadow
#

At least this time no one is shocked. Barca were the underdogs going into this game and it showed

honest umbra
#

Another leg.. in Paris where we lost 4-0 last time and they have neymar + di Maria coming back

#

Who’s excited?

gloomy meadow
#

Lmaoo

#

Will be a repeat of Bayern 2013

honest umbra
#

I kinda want 8-2 to happen

#

That would require a score line of 4-1

#

Completely doable

#

Lost 3-0 to RM, lost 3-0 to Juventus, lost 4-1 to PSG, lost 3-2 to Athletic, lost 2-0 to Sevilla

#

Koemans side hate the pressure

dim ledge
#

Mbappe is still good, I know they don't have ADM or Ney rn but like

honest umbra
#

Yea he can be good but Barca shouldn’t lose 4-1 at home

dim ledge
#

This kid still shit on everyone at the WC and still consistently does so in L1

#

Agree there but

#

It's this season too, dude

#

Home games aren't as weighted as they used to be

honest umbra
#

What about the last three seasons, 8-2, 4-0, 4-1?

#

Or the fact that a Balon D’or candidate Neymar isn’t even playing?

#

There was so much made about turning of the tide after the loss against Bayern yet Alba, Pique, Lenglet still occupied 75 percent of the defense

#

And Busquets ahead of them

sweet tree
#

Mbappe was unreal

gloomy meadow
sweet tree
#

but this defense is straight Garbo man

honest umbra
#

Why did pique even start, because he has experience?

#

Because he’s a socio?

sweet tree
#

most likely

gloomy meadow
honest umbra
#

The defense was directly at fault for all 4 goals right?

#

That’s insane

#

Did our midfield even exist

gloomy meadow
#

Busquets as CDM in front of 2 unathletic CBs with high pushing fullbacks

3 years in a row

#

120 mil on Griezmann
140mil on Dembele
160mil on Coutinho

sweet tree
#

we couldn’t control the game, always looked uncomfortable n mid

gloomy meadow
#

Always remember that this is all on the previous board and Bartomeu

#

Never forgive the real culprits

honest umbra
#

That one run Trincao had was better than anything Dembele did today

#

Don’t @ me

restive sundial
#

Dembele is the impostor

honest umbra
#

I’m past the idea you must start who you think is the best, Trincao was a man in form

sweet tree
#

yeah fate

honest umbra
#

And even if you start Dembele, sub Trincao on in the 60th!2

sweet tree
#

dembele was just not it at all today, crosses weren’t good, didn’t track back enough

honest umbra
#

what is the obsession of subbing on a defender in the 70th min and then 3 attackers in the 80th

gloomy meadow
#

Tbh I would recommend not taking this seriously because this season was a write off from the start. Nothing will change until the new board and President comes in

honest umbra
#

Yea but it’s Messis last season

#

Shoulda just let him leave

gloomy meadow
#

A season in a place where he doesn't even want to be in

honest umbra
#

If this is his last game in Barcelona in the UCL yikes

gloomy meadow
#

It's not as if suddenly Messi would start playing like his 2011 version to win the CL for a fairy tale ending

honest umbra
#

Well all 3 titles seem really far and away now, as they did months ago

#

Should just call it and let only youngsters play

gloomy meadow
#

We'll get knocked out here, get knocked out of CDR on 27th and finish 2nd-3rd in Laliga

#

We knew this would happen even before the season started

#

Which is why spending energy and getting angry over this shithousery isn't worth it bro. Just let it pass away and think of this entire season as pre-season

honest umbra
#

silk notch
#

Lmao it's kinda depressing seeing Barca like this

gloomy meadow
celest zephyr
#

great to see the slow decline of UEFAlona

gloomy meadow
#

Using terms like "uefalona" in 2021 😭

#

Might as well say Pessi and Penaldo too 😭

celest zephyr
#

It's Penandes

#

get with the times

#

This will never die down

#

UEFAlona is timeless

#

"Is that handball against Pique? The referee says no"

honest umbra
#

yea i love watching unbiased videos by yt account names "chelsea lover"

#

and UEFA really wants the team they're supporting to lose 4-1, 4-0, 8-2, 4-1 (not finished yet) in a span of 4 years

sweet tree
celest zephyr
#

Sometimes you're so bad that not even the referees can fix it.

#

I like how you can't refute those two videos and you go to the name of the channel that uploaded it. Plain as day UEFAlona.

honest umbra
#

you kinda threw away my point too

#

by "sometimes yada yada yada"

#

plain day hater

celest zephyr
#

lol

honest umbra
#

barcelona are already down bad and as awful as a team can be, nothing more to it

celest zephyr
#

Sometimes you're so bad that not even the referees can fix it.

honest umbra
#

but griezmann should not be talking that way to anyone

#

dude loves missing sitters and scoring in inconsequential games

#

the french frauds reign supreme

#

griezmann, dembele, lenglet, umtiti

#

you know whats funny @sweet tree ? the cb fcb loaned out (todibo) started for nice against psg this weekend and only conceded a 2-1 game

#

he would have been lights better than the ones they put out today lol

celest zephyr
honest umbra
#

that had how many french players?

#

did barcelona field more french players than psg?

sweet tree
#

todibo and saliba

honest umbra
#

not that it matters, they have the 1 french player that is clear of everyone. mbappe is CLEAR

#

dude has 24 UCL goals already, he is gonna break every messi/ronaldo record

sweet tree
#

need coutinho gone in the summer and possibly one of griezmann / dembele and bring in some reinforcements in defense

#

haaland could oo

#

too*

celest zephyr
#

Barcelona have been doing bad business for years so this isn't surprising.

sweet tree
#

haaland stats are already nice

honest umbra
#

let messi leave, get rid of coutinho/griezmann, force pique/busquets/alba to retire

celest zephyr
#

It's a shame, really. They were by far the most fun team to watch at the start of this decade.

honest umbra
#

haaland and mbappe are really good

#

yea I didnt even mind too much when barca lost, xavi/iniesta/busi/messi/pedro/villa/henry/eto would be putting on a show

#

it was fun to watch

celest zephyr
#

Barcelona need a rebuild starting from the back. Bringing in another Dembele/Coutinho/Griezmann/Haaland/Mbappe will only paper over the cracks.

sweet tree
#

there's likely gonna change the format of the ucl

#
  • more games
honest umbra
#

neither haaland or mbappe should ever consider coming here, their current teams are clear

sweet tree
#

so they're likely to surpass those numbers with more games to play

honest umbra
#

barca needs to build from the bottom up

#

and that only happens when you let messi go

#

build with de jong, pedri, de jong, puig

celest zephyr
#

It's gonna take more than just letting Messi go.

#

They need to experience a season without Messi.

honest umbra
#

yes of course, there's a lot of recovery to be made

#

but you must first start by ripping off the biggest band-aid, getting rid of messi

celest zephyr
#

Also their financial situation is apparently really, really bad.

honest umbra
#

as is a lot of clubs, barca's is being heightened by the state of the club

#

the pandemic has done that

#

barca above most clubs heavily rely on fans revenue from their tickets/selling jerseys/etc

celest zephyr
#

Nope I mean Barca's situation has been terrible since before 2020.

honest umbra
#

so once the fans are back and messi's wages are off the table, it should lessen a bit

#

im well aware of what bartomeu has done to the club

#

he spent around 400 mill on 3 players

#

its gonna take a few years to get back

#

but you build from the bottom

#

iniesta/xavi/puyol didnt come out of nowhere, they had struggle szns before they all broke out

celest zephyr
#

I still can't believe we were deprived of seeing MSN for longer

#

They could genuniely have taken over world football

celest zephyr
#

It was like watching those fools play FIFA

honest umbra
#

messi is more likely to PSG than man city imo

dim ledge
#

God I hope so

honest umbra
#

messi prob wouldnt start for city weekly

#

not to say he couldnt, he is messi

dim ledge
#

Did MSN win UCL first or second year as a unit

honest umbra
#

just pep wants 11 players rotating and pressing constantly

#

second year I believe

celest zephyr
#

Strange as it may sound, I don't want to see Messi in the Prem

#

Let him have his fairy tale ending at an Argentine club

sweet tree
#

first year since suarez joined 14-15

#

neymar was there a season before

dim ledge
#

God man

#

It's between Suarez and Ibra for the best striker of 10-20

#

Imo

honest umbra
#

suarez wins imo

#

ibra was on LA galaxy for 2-3 of those years

#

and you cant forget Lewa

dim ledge
#

That's a fair point

celest zephyr
#

Just gonna gloss over Lewandowski

honest umbra
#

its suarez -> lewa -> ibra

dim ledge
#

Nah I put ibra above lewa

#

Not even a question

honest umbra
#

ibra put up a lot of empty stats

#

on teams that didnt compete

sweet tree
#

suarez 2 golden boots in prime messi / Ronaldo era

dim ledge
#

Ibra won the league on every team he played though up until he left for united in his old age

#

That's p magnificent

celest zephyr
#

Aguero?

dim ledge
#

Aguero can blow me

#

Shit player

honest umbra
#

aguero has been hindered by the back end of the decade

honest umbra
celest zephyr
dim ledge
#

Oh uefalona guy doesn't wanna take me seriously

#

Thank god

#

Nothing of value lost

honest umbra
#

but yea suarez and lewa are top 1 and 2 for me

celest zephyr
honest umbra
#

they were just absolute

dim ledge
#

It's still mad to me that Suarez actually arguably got better at Barca

#

Like, mad

#

Because he was red hot at Liverpool

honest umbra
#

he had some absolutely insane players around him though

#

no offense to liverpool at the time

dim ledge
#

True enough

celest zephyr
#

Benzema is up there for me as well. Underrated

honest umbra
#

but iniesta, xavi, messi, neymar elevate your game

dim ledge
#

Yeah that's definite

sweet tree
#

sterling and sturridge were solid

honest umbra
#

you have two wizards behind you and two GOATs on the wings

celest zephyr
#

Higuain has surprisingly stayed relevant

honest umbra
#

lukaku is an underrated striker of the decade

dim ledge
#

I'd say Gerrard was more to LFC Suarez than either of the wingers

#

Rodgers wasn't really utilising his wing players

honest umbra
#

sterling and sturridge were good

#

but messi and neymar were just different

#

lol

dim ledge
#

And still doesn't

honest umbra
#

rodgers is doing fine enough

dim ledge
#

Course

#

But just saying, doesn't really utilise wing

celest zephyr
#

but yea Aguero is shit guys

honest umbra
#

hes a liverpool fan

dim ledge
#

Are you still on that? Lmao

honest umbra
#

he doesnt mean that

#

lol

dim ledge
#

Ofc not

#

How dumb can you be

celest zephyr
#

was the sarcasm not obvious enough?

honest umbra
#

aguero has ALWAYS and i mean ALWAYS shown up for man city

celest zephyr
#

I'll include an /s next time NamiPray

dim ledge
#

Thank god

honest umbra
#

we dont know you well enough, sorry

celest zephyr
#

fair play

honest umbra
#

we can usually tell when the rest of us are being sarcastic

#

but we only just met you

dim ledge
#

God I hate aguero so fucking much

#

Kun aguero

#

Filthy fucking weeb

honest umbra
#

such a good GTA 5 roleplayer

#

dude called messi casually on stream

dim ledge
#

That's actually dope lmao

honest umbra
#

yea they're best friends since '06

dim ledge
#

I hate him slightly less

honest umbra
#

its just weird you can call messi

#

whenever u want

#

lol

dim ledge
#

Him and Messi together horrify me

#

Then I watch Argentina play

#

And I relax

honest umbra
#

aguero becomes a miniature version of himself when he plays for argentina

#

idk what it is

dim ledge
#

TBF though? Argentina is a byproduct of awful coaching too

honest umbra
#

di maria sometimes shows up, higuain despite criticism has sometimes shown up

#

but aguero? never

#

lautaro is clear now

dim ledge
#

Dybala was on fire, ON FIRE right before the last WC

#

And he didn't start once

#

I'm unsure if he even played?

honest umbra
#

argentina has always been a byproduct of awful coaching, politics and never producing a competent defender

#

he was subbed on for small amount of times

#

but if paredes performs for argentina as he did for psg today

#

argentina looking good

dim ledge
#

Shocked Dybala hasn't declared for Italy tbh

#

Good for him, honestly, but

honest umbra
#

messi, lautaro, ocampos, lo celso, paredes, tagalfico

#

new wave of talent

dim ledge
#

Nah bro for me

#

Brasil have it in the bag

honest umbra
#

oh they're def fav

#

im just saying

#

im just glad argentina has a new wave of talent

#

and theyre using them

dim ledge
#

Still don't rate Belgium like at all

#

Yeah they do

#

Can't deny that

#

Ocampos has been good for years

honest umbra
#

very good

#

not even starting for sevilla though rn

celest zephyr
#

how long you guys been watching footie for btw?

dim ledge
#

Casually since I was an infant, actually following since like 04/05 when LFC won UCL

honest umbra
#

2006 WC changed my life

sweet tree
#

2010 wc

dim ledge
#

That was a golden age of footy for me

celest zephyr
#

I've been on it since 2001

dim ledge
#

Greece euro 2004, LFC UCL right around the corner

#

:')

honest umbra
#

greece 2004

#

what a legendary run

celest zephyr
#

Maniche BoaGasm

honest umbra
#

maniche has become a bit forgotten by history huh

celest zephyr
#

Rui Costa was a demon back then

honest umbra
#

deco was prob one of my first fav players

dim ledge
#

Tears

#

Like every goal we scored was a fucking header lmao

honest umbra
#

headers are nice

dim ledge
#

Charisteas was a header machine

celest zephyr
dim ledge
#

Also I'll say this

celest zephyr
#

aka me

dim ledge
#

Suarez is a better overall player

#

But for Liverpool, Salah is better

celest zephyr
#

🇬🇷 Stelios Giannakopoulos 🇬🇷

dim ledge
#

Salah is just fucking mental

#

Yeah yeah golden age of wingers in the league but idgaf

#

That first season was a dream

celest zephyr
#

Del Piero, Ronaldinho and Henry made me fall in love with football

#

that was golden age football for me

honest umbra
#

ronaldinho for me

dim ledge
#

Zidane for me

#

Zidane alone

honest umbra
#

the man who could do the most with the ball

#

ronaldinho

dim ledge
#

Wish I could've been alive to see Cruyff in his prime

honest umbra
#

prob the most genuinely talented footballer ever

dim ledge
#

That's probably my goat

honest umbra
#

just didnt have the same work ethic

celest zephyr
#

it was all part of the charm

dim ledge
#

I wish Ronaldo wasn't a glass boy

#

Probably could've been the best striker ever

celest zephyr
#

100%

honest umbra
#

prob

#

but maybe that was his charm

#

he showed up to wc's

celest zephyr
#

Adriano could've also been truly goated if he didn't go off the deep end

honest umbra
#

but he could never do it for clubs for a long term

dim ledge
#

With a fucked up ass hairline

#

Don't forget that

honest umbra
#

adriano was so good at one time man...

celest zephyr
#

He used to bully Serie A

honest umbra
#

that golden generation of brazilians

#

kaka

dim ledge
#

I loved watching ibra in serie a man

#

He was so so so fun to watch

honest umbra
#

when barca had a brazilian

#

they always competed

#

maybe thats what theyre missing rn

dim ledge
#

Alves goat btw

honest umbra
#

brazilian flair

dim ledge
#

Idc

celest zephyr
#

Pato got wrecked by injury too soon as well

honest umbra
#

i remember his goal against barca

#

20 secs into the game

#

completely outpaced everyone

dim ledge
#

I still remember bales Vs barca

celest zephyr
#

The current Brazil team are a shadow of the 2000-2010 side

celest zephyr
honest umbra
#

against marc bartra

#

dude cant outrun anyone these days

sweet tree
#

he was running with an injury iirc

honest umbra
#

who, bartra?

sweet tree
#

it was late in the game but yeah that bale run made him into a meme

#

yea

honest umbra
#

pretty sure he fell down with an injury, yea

#

but he wasnt stopping bale lol

dim ledge
#

Bale man....he's a player I truly feel sorry for

celest zephyr
sweet tree
#

probably not

dim ledge
#

Madrid really fucked him

#

There was a point where

#

I truly believe he was top 3 players itw

celest zephyr
#

Mourinho is ruining him 2: electric boogaloo

sweet tree
#

they tried to force bale vs neymar as a thing

dim ledge
#

Mous interview regarding balo is one of my all time faves

#

"mario blease"

sweet tree
#

neymar was still young and his first season in Europe

dim ledge
#

For me it was never about that mala, here's how I looked at it

celest zephyr
honest umbra
#

nah i dont think bale was ever top 3 in the world

dim ledge
#

Underrated BC 1. He's not the best on his team (Cristiano) 2. Not the best in his position (Messi) 3. Not from a nation that can realistically do anything in an intl (Wales)

sweet tree
#

bale was pretty good at spurs and madrid early on but I dont think he was ever as good as neymar imo

honest umbra
#

neymar and griezmann occupied the 3rd best player in the world position

#

at some point in the last 10 years

sweet tree
#

griezmann in the world cup?

dim ledge
#

Grizou 2018 was filthy

honest umbra
#

yea that was his peak, wasnt it

#

pretty nice

dim ledge
#

Literally carried France w Mbappe to world cup

#

Got on the scoresheet in every game he played

honest umbra
#

well he was the designated PK taker

sweet tree
#

I liked real sociedad griezmann a bit more tbh but that was his peak

honest umbra
#

but yea, still played well

#

ATM made 2 UCL finals too

celest zephyr
#

it's genuinely a classic

dim ledge
#

Surprised that ibra loves him so much. Figured they'd clash personality wise but nope

#

It's pep that he hates

honest umbra
#

because pep couldnt find him a place in the squad

#

messi was the unrivaled GOAT at that time

#

and they won a UCL the year before and after he was there

#

so

dim ledge
#

Shocker of the year so far for me, besides Liverpool

#

Is that Gundogan of all players is the top scorer for city

honest umbra
#

WEST HAM!!!

dim ledge
#

I would've laughed at you

honest umbra
#

a trail of confidence does that to you

#

glad werner scored

dim ledge
#

Think tuchel will be good

#

But don't think he'll spend like lampard did even if presented w the budget

honest umbra
#

he'll clash with abrahamovic and get fired eventually

celest zephyr
#

His early interviews suggested he knows it's gonna be a short tenure

#

There were some really candid things that he said

celest zephyr
honest umbra
#

hes candid about most thing, it seems

dim ledge
#

Good for west ham

#

Idk how it's happening

#

But good for them

honest umbra
#

i have one answer for you

#

tomas soucek

I know it

#

SOUCEK

#

Yessir

honest umbra

dim ledge
#

The new Fellaini

honest umbra

Think of it

#

Moyes

#

big boy midfielder

#

#

Deny me, you know it to be true

honest umbra
#

how many times did fellaini save mourinho

dim ledge
#

Yes

honest umbra
#

answer is, every time

proud coyote
#

think our chances are lower lol

honest umbra
#

96.7 not bad

proud coyote
#

somehow lower than the rockies

#

Is it expanded playoffs again or nah

#

NL Central is BuggyMonkaS

proud coyote
#

I don't believe so

honest umbra
#

can we stop astros from winning

proud coyote
#

angels not having a zero

simple seal
#

idk how Tampa will do, 18.6% feels too fucking low tho

rustic ore
#

Yeah can’t help but feel they’re overestimating the Jays and Red Sox a bit much and underestimating the Rays

#

They regularly over perform

simple seal
#

Yeah, I do think the Yankees will win the division this time tho

#

Unless they get into injury hell again

dim kettle
#

They always overestimate the Red Sox. One of the dumbest organizations in the league that's only relevant because of their money. Which their owner turning out to be quite cheap too.

#

But yeah, the Yanks are gonna win the division and the same shit that happened last year will happen again. Because Aaron Boone is not a good manager.

The Wizards? Really? I sometimes forget they exist. QueenKEKW

#

@dim kettle now I know the leafs are dumb

#

But wtf were they thinking letting go of Kadri

dim kettle
#

Literally, it's like Harold Ballard is still there haunting the Leafs.

dim ledge
#

sad man

#

also

#

mark my words

#

in the next 5 years

#

the coyotes will relocate to either Houston or, preferably, QC

#

shocked QC doesn't have a team again

dim kettle
#

It's definitely gonna be Houston. They wouldn't have moved the Yotes to the Central Division if they weren't going to Houston sometime soon.

#

@proud coyote honestly think we (yes, we, i promised you) will keep jimmy g?

#

been talking it over w a bud lately and unsure of the finer machinations since im kinda just getting into it now

#

sources say yes but

#

i trust you more

proud coyote
#

we might restructure his contract even

#

it's not really kyle and john's style to trade the farm for someone like deshaun

#

and there really aren't any other options

#

the draft has one QB I could see them taking

#

as Lawrence, Fields, and Wilson are going to be gone

dim ledge
#

yeah. given what little I know about him as a player, i figured he was good enough to keep, but the Texans releasing their two best did seem rather tantalising considering how much cap we'd let go if we didn't resign

proud coyote
#

jj watt isn't very good btw

#

not anymore

dim ledge
#

even jj aside

#

watson

proud coyote
#

and he's injury prone

dim ledge
#

but as you said

proud coyote
#

watson they're going to demand a fuck ton back

#

and while he works for our cap

dim ledge
#

doesn't seem the style

proud coyote
#

yeah

#

Trey Lance is who I think we could pick

#

but the panthers might as well, so

dim ledge
#

he's a name I've heard come up alot for several teams

proud coyote
#

he's mobile, and kyle has expressed interest in a mobile QB

#

reminds me of kaep a lot honestly

#

but with potential to be better

dim ledge
#

understood

Rams are good too, but it's a safe bet for a new NFL fan imo since they look like they're on the rise

dim ledge
#

@burnt cedar was gonna tag the other arsenal fan from yesterday but he either left or got banned so I'll ask you

#

I honestly believe Bergkamp is your best ever player

#

Thoughts?

burnt cedar
#

It’s a popular opinion

#

Which I can see why people say it is

#

But for me Henry was just something else

#

Like I can’t even describe it

#

Henry should have had a balon dor

#

Meaning he was the best in the world

dim ledge
#

see idk thats Bergkamp for me but i mean...maybe thats just because im enamoured with the #10 position

#

that i can agree with

burnt cedar
#

Iirc I think Bergkamp was 2nd or 3rd in voting one time

dim ledge
#

because I think Dennis was great but I put Zidane over him

#

correct

#

lost to baggio iirc

burnt cedar
#

Yeah Zidane was better than him

#

I mean even as a playmaker Henry was up there too

#

The 20 assist season

#

There were times he could have easily scored more

#

But it just looked like he didn’t want to

#

Bergkamp is second though

dim ledge
#

third has to be Vieira, right?

burnt cedar
#

Yes

#

Thinking about it

#

He could even argue being second

dim ledge
#

I agree

burnt cedar
#

But it’s just apples and oranges

dim ledge
#

disgusting CDM absolute tank

burnt cedar
#

He was technically underrated too

#

Some of the stuff I’ve seen him do

#

Players today I don’t think could replicate

dim ledge
#

imho that 98 france team is one of if not the best world cup team to ever play

#

mental

burnt cedar
#

It’s crazy cause nearly every World Cup winning team

#

You could make a argument

#

2002 Brazil

#

Insane

dim ledge
#

yeah man that era was all brazil and france tbh

burnt cedar
#

And who knows if Ronaldo wasn’t poisoned in 98

#

They could have taken it

dim ledge
#

idk man you say that but

#

zidane toyed with that brazil team

#

just had fun

burnt cedar
#

He did yeah

#

But I can’t imagine how it feels to see your best player practically on the verge of death before the biggest game of your career

#

Gotta throw you off your game

dim ledge
#

yeah honestly they were probably worried sick

#

said it yesterday, if he wasnt always so fucked up he'd be the best striker ever

#

don't think zidane is the best ever #10 btw, Cruyff still takes that for me

#

best player ever imo

burnt cedar
#

Fifa forcing him to play and as a thank you they gave Brazil the 2014 word cup FoxyKek

#

Would you count Cruyff as a 10

#

I thought his best moments were at lw

dim ledge
#

hes an attacking mid for me so ye honestly

#

but i mean

#

i guess i can put him at wing in which case still the best LW ever

#

dinho close though

burnt cedar
#

The Dutch were playing some crazy formations at the time

#

So it could have been anything he wanted

dim ledge
#

may as well, he revolutionised that team

burnt cedar
#

I honestly don’t have Ronaldinho that high up

#

Don’t get me wrong the talent is all there

#

But his peak just didn’t last as long

#

As it should have

dim ledge
#

i can agree w that but man

#

that peak was something

restive sundial
#

Ronaldinho's longevity was essentially non existent

dim ledge
#

feel like 80% of the people i know into footy are like "yeah man dinho got me to love the game" that counts for something

#

yeah true

burnt cedar
#

Yeah he was an icon of the game

#

Best thing about him was he played having fun

#

Now when I’m watching the game

#

It’s just so robotic

#

Nobody expressing themselves

dim ledge
#

yeah i agree w that

burnt cedar
#

Honestly find it hard to focus at times

#

Any players who do have flair

#

Either get it coached out of them

#

Or nobody takes them serious

dim ledge
#

or alternatively it amounts to nothing

burnt cedar
#

Yep that too

restive sundial
#

Players face much more criticism nowadays too
Definitely has a negative impact to some extent

burnt cedar
#

Yeah it does

dim ledge
#

fine line between skills and non-productive dribbling

#

Lingard

#

I think West Ham is a good fit for him

restive sundial
#

Loser people and their online abuse

#

Our home tie vs Benfica is in Greece

#

Because we can’t play in London

Benfica’s home stadium for the tie is in Rome

Legit what’s the point

dim ledge
#

lmao dude we played in Hungary yesterday and may play our "home" tie elsewhere too

#

burnt cedar
#

They could have done something like

#

End of the season

#

All the team’s in one country

#

And just keep them in a bubble

#

Make it one legged ties

#

To speed it up if you have to

restive sundial
#

I honestly think we stand a chance at winning it

#

No way into ucl otherwise though

burnt cedar
#

We are a weird club

#

It took arteta 5 months

#

To play our best formation

#

I still won’t forgive him for that run we had

#

Should have been sacked in all honesty

#

Now we’re playing our best formation and our players in decent form

restive sundial
#

Can't forgive any of em for bringing in willian

burnt cedar
#

Yeah it’s bs when people say let him bring his players in

restive sundial
#

what a sack of shit

dim ledge
#

willian smh

#

waste

burnt cedar
#

Like he’s signed Willian, gave deals to Mari and Cedric

#

Just plugging in gaps

#

He got bailed out by Saka and Smith Rowe

restive sundial
#

Hate to see Willian coming on every game instead of Martinelli

burnt cedar
#

And the worst thing is if Willian didn’t get ill Smith Rowe would have never played

restive sundial
#

It's mentally draining

burnt cedar
#

Bruh

#

He nearly cost us vs Leeds

restive sundial
#

Yeah

burnt cedar
#

We were 4-0 up PepegaLuffy

#

I hope we switch it up a bit vs Benfica

restive sundial
#

Idm saka being rested and not starting

burnt cedar
#

I’d bring in Pepe and martinelli

#

Yeah same

#

He needs it

restive sundial
#

Yeah

burnt cedar
#

Auba
Martinelli Odegaard Pepe

#

That’s strong enough tbh

restive sundial
#

Yep

burnt cedar
#

Benfica could tear us on the counter

dim ledge
#

underrated team

burnt cedar
#

They have a player Darwin Nunez

restive sundial
#

Hope we get good fullbacks
Really need them

burnt cedar
#

He’ll get a big move soon

restive sundial
#

Next season

burnt cedar
#

Yeah we need a rb

#

But we need a 10 too if Odegaard goes back

restive sundial
#

Lb also

burnt cedar
#

If amn wants to stay as a back up lb

#

I wouldn’t mind

restive sundial
#

Amn and Cedric both below average subs for Tierney tbh

burnt cedar
#

You don’t wanna get someone too good

#

Otherwise we’d just be wasting them on the bench

restive sundial
#

Think odegard stated he isn't going back if Zidane still there
If he doesn't cost too much
Should sign him

dim ledge
#

Tierney and Robbo :)

restive sundial
#

Hmm

#

If can get to around 40
Should take it

burnt cedar
#

We’ve got to offload loads of guys too

#

Lacazette has had like 4 years

restive sundial
#

Yeah

burnt cedar
#

And still hasn’t lived up to the price

#

Bellerin maybe time for him to go

restive sundial
#

Laca had his moments
But didn't really deliver big time

burnt cedar
#

I think torreira is leaving

restive sundial
#

Hmm I'll always have a soft spot for bellerin

burnt cedar
#

And I guess Guendouzi is too but I hope he doesn’t go

burnt cedar
dim ledge
#

torreira is good smh

burnt cedar
#

He’s homesick

#

So that’s why he’s going

dim ledge
#

same w guendouzi

restive sundial
#

Yeah they're kinda underrated

burnt cedar
#

Guendouzi is a easy target

#

Cause he’s fiery

#

People just think he’s arrogant

#

Which he is a bit

#

But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it if he backs it up

#

Which 9/10 he does

restive sundial
#

True

burnt cedar
#

I hope he does come back

#

And gets a chance again

#

It might be another gnabry situation

#

If he goes

restive sundial
#

I haven't followed his spell in Bundesliga at all this season
Has he been performing well

burnt cedar
#

I’ve seen him score a few times

#

Which is a good thing

#

I think his team are struggling

restive sundial
#

Should give him an opportunity and bring him back

burnt cedar
#

Defo

#

Saliba too

restive sundial
#

Saliba biggest fuck up

burnt cedar
#

Was disappointed with how we’ve handled him

restive sundial
#

Done by arteta

burnt cedar
#

People should get sacked for this

#

We’re messing up his career

restive sundial
#

I swear

burnt cedar

Having him play with under 23s

#

Then loaning him out

restive sundial

Criminal management

I fucking hate our board

@burnt cedar yo still no Tierney rip

Even with a full camp I don’t really see how he troubles him

Had Colts taking a QB because of course they needed one, but now I guess they can go LT to replace Castonzo or maybe a DB or WR

The Colts literally spent peanuts for Wentz. How does Roseman still have a job again?

I'm just waiting for the Eagles to struggle next season and wonder. Hey, maybe the QB isn't the problem with this team.

YESSSS

Sakaaaaa

Great trade for sure

#

Wentz is now in the best possible scenario basically

#

All on him

restive sundial
#

Tierney back after more than a month

rustic ore
# proud coyote All on him

Plus that let's Indy continue focusing on building up their roster and if he stinks this year they can cut him after next season and suffer no dead cap hits

proud coyote
#

Yep

rustic ore
#

Win win for both sides

proud coyote
#

Now I wonder wtf the eagles are going to do

#

Hurts probably isn’t the guy

#

Guess they’ll ride him and pick a QB next year

rustic ore
#

I actually really like Hurts

proud coyote
#

He makes so many boneheaded throws

#

They should give him a chance but he needs to improve and fast

#

And their scenario isn’t very good for him

rustic ore
#

True but the guy was a rookie, give him some protection/weapons and see what he can do

#

Gonna be very interesting though to see what Philly's O is gonna look like under Sirianni, iirc Reich was Indy's play caller

proud coyote
#

He was yeah

#

So Wentz will do well with him

rustic ore
#

Just looking at Indy last year they really liked pounding the rock with Taylor and Hines, so maybe a power/zone run kinda scheme? 🤷‍♂️

#

They seem to have a good 1-2 punch at RB with Sanders and Scott so maybe they can pull that off

#

But yeah it's all on Wentz now, he's going from a bad team with a bad O-line to one of the best O-lines in the league that also has decent weapons and their HC actively likes him and was fighting for him

#

If he fails now his days as a starter are done imo

proud coyote
#

Yep probably

#

Or gets injured again

rustic ore
#

Yeah that is definitely a concern

#

So where do you think Indy goes with their 1st now that they have a QB for next season? I'd say OT would be smart given Castonzo retired but then again there are some half decent OTs hitting the market next month as well

proud coyote
#

OT, potentially WR

#

TY is probably leaving

#

they could use a corner too I think

rustic ore
#

Mhm, this is looking like a really decent WR class too

#

Maybe someone like Toney from UF or Marshall from LSU

#

One is more of a speed guy and the other would give Indy 2 starting 6'4 WRs

proud coyote
#

Toney is real good

#

I like him a lot

rustic ore
#

As a UF fanboy, same QueenKEKW

#

A shame your boys are good at WR, I think Toney would do well in Shanahan's offense

#

UF liked using him all over the place, WR, RB, punt returner

proud coyote
#

Yep he’s a menace

#

People are mocking him to us purely because of how good of a fit he is lol

#

But we need a few positions a lot more

rustic ore
#

I got y'all taking a CB as of right now

dim kettle
#

I still find it pretty stupid that the Eagles would fire Doug Pederson but keep the guy who gave Wentz that big contract. Been pretty bad at drafting the last few years, (You would’ve loved to have Jefferson now, huh Philly?) and sold off their QB for a Walmart gift card and a copy of One Piece Pirate Warriors 4.

rustic ore
#

Lurie likes his puppet GM in place

dim kettle
#

The Eagles really derped into winning that SB as time goes by

rustic ore
#

Big time

#

They just got unbelievably hot at the right time

#

And then lucked out on BB benching one of his best DBs for the SB for whatever reason

dim kettle
#

Also Atlanta and Minnesota choking

rustic ore
#

Yup

#

Almost makes me wish that NO didn't screw the pooch, I think their 2017 team was good enough to stop Philly

dim kettle
#

Nope, i still replay NO choking for my amusement

rustic ore
#

I did say "Almost" QueenKEKW

dim kettle
#

Goes right up there with Marshawn telling Tracy Porter to sit down. Made me laugh hard first seeing that play

rustic ore
#

NO choking in the playoffs is always a treat

#

From 2017-2020 they're now the first team in NFL history to win 49 games in a 4 year span and not make the SB

dim kettle
#

Who Dat? Failures

#

It seems like our friends in the NFC South have the best moments of laughter in the Playoffs. Atlanta being Atlanta. The Saints failing at clock management and Cam Newton giving up on a fumble

#

The Bucs have only made the playoffs 4 times since the NFC South was made and yet have the most titles. CarrotSmug

rustic ore
#

We might only get in the playoffs once in a blue moon, but more times than not when we do we make the most of it

#

I'll take that kind of consistent inconsistency over regularly choking in the postseason any day

#

Imagine being 0-2 in the SB like Carolina and Atlanta are, couldn't be us

dim kettle
#

I’d rather my Bucs be losers most years than be the Chicago Bears. I’d quit football if that ever happens

dim kettle
#

But seriously, fuck the Bears in the mediocrity of the Midway

rustic ore
#

Yeah that has to really hurt being a Bears fan, so many HOFs and only 1 SB to show for it

dim kettle
#

Imagine thinking 10-6 is hot shit

rustic ore
#

Of course they had multiple titles back in the black and white days of George Halas before the SB, but we don't count those CrocoStare

dim kettle
#

The Bears are not getting good until the owner dies. Plain and simple

#

If this off-season says anything

rustic ore
#

Sad but true

#

She really should just step down and either see what her kids can do or hire someone with a brain to run football ops

dim kettle
#

They’re gonna get Derek Carr and the same shit is gonna happen. And I have to watch all the forced primetime games they’ll be getting

proud coyote
#

lol

#

If they get carr do the raiders keep mariota?

rustic ore
#

Don't see why not

#

Mariota is signed for cheap through this upcoming season

#

And in the 1 game he played for them this year he was great for the most part

#

Think it's probably more likely that Mariota is the one who is traded and Carr is kept though

dim kettle
#

It doesn’t really matter who plays QB in Vegas. The defense is 2018 Bucs level of dumpster fire

#

And Gruden still can’t draft like he did in Tampa for many years

rustic ore
#

Imagine getting the kind of king's ransom the Raiders got for trading Mack and the only one partially worth a damn they end up with is an RB

dim kettle
#

Gruden was too busy reaching in the cookie jar to make good in those picks. Like, really? Kolton Miller? Bruh

rustic ore
#

You know what I just thought of? Perhaps Indy swings a trade for Orlando Brown Jr from the Ravens? Dude played well when he had to switch over to LT after Stanley went down and considering the Ravens are already committed long term to Stanley and Brown says he doesn't want to go back to being an RT a divorce seems likely

proud coyote
#

He’ll cost a lot

rustic ore
#

I'm sure he will, then again the Colts are a good org so any picks they give out are probably gonna be pretty low regardless of the round
