[dry plinth]

Whilst being rivals

[acoustic shale]

get ready

[dry plinth]

Some Utd legends say that UCL is too far for United now

[dim geyser]

Ate good didn’t you😭

[tropic lance]

Yeah no. No sir. Sorry. This was the worst year Manchester United have had, at least that I’ve been able to witness

[naive ledge]

We should be able to qualify yhis season as 5th place is probably going get ucl

But can’t trust the team after last season lol

[frosty thunder]

Yes im satisfied that my team will win the ucl this season next year, Hala madrid ❤️‍🩹

[knotty yew]

Damn right, didn’t expect it at all at the start of last season

[small snow]

23/24 season i was very happy, i've not been happy at all with the end, relegated to league one and we're just doing SO fucking shite

[knotty yew]

I remember praying that PSG even make the CL playoffs 💔

[stray oracle]

not very satisfied with how we performed in the 2024/25 season but this new season(25/26) i am pretty satisfied..... we are improving

[dry plinth]

I'm not surprised, I understand it

[obtuse wharf]

they fell short

• bottled the league title by many sub-par performances
  (i believe it was ours to lose as we had the strongest team in italy, whilst napoli deserved it)
• lost to rivals in a humiliating coppa italia SF exit
• had an incredible SF comeback in the UCL to...
  LOSE 5 FUCKING NIL IN THE UCL FINAL FALLING APART COMPLETELY AND BOTTLING EVERYTHING
  that's just 24/25, i feel it's early to talk about this season

[paper nacelle]

This is probably the best year we've had in my lifetime

[bright harbor]

Top 4, but slipping away

Aye, 4 points from the top, but the chase for top 4 is probably the tightest it's been in years. Gotta refocus if promotion is our real aim.

[quick loom]

We had harry Maguire score a late winner on us in the Europa League quarter final 🫩

[bright harbor]

Wasn't it the quarter finals

[quick loom]

I might have been I'm pretty sure it was the semis I'm not that tapped in with our men's side

Yeah it was

[bright harbor]

Bilbao fan or Lyon fan?

[quick loom]

Lyon

[bright harbor]

Aye, it was the quarters

[quick loom]

I watch more women's football then mens ✌️

[nimble tartan]

mostly satisfied

[unreal kelp]

Given how many injuries plagued Tottenham's season to start 2025. Winning the Europa league was massively satisfying. Would say I'm unsatisfied with how the club decided to move on from that going against the entire identity of Tottenham. To dare is to do

[bright harbor]

And our form also speaks words

[torn urchin]

No

[astral kettle]

First part of the year was bad but now we are better

[stuck ocean]

no

finishing 15th and lost europa league to spurs

[merry lance]

Satisfied with ucl football

[worthy glen]

Yes pretty satisfied, we are cooking in UCL and can sense another arsenal bottle so a win for us..... City were much better this year than the last year

[lapis nimbus]

Very satisfied, they exceeded my expectations for most parts. From going near relegation after half a season, to UCL spot losing no games to even Bayern, very dominant. Ups and downs but experienced more ups ❤️

[haughty blaze]

Good start but we have stumbled a bit in december

[thick sparrow]

Burnley YES
PSG BIG YES

Best year for my clubs

[quasi dawn]

Fuh nah 💔

[tender lark]

short

[slim fern]

I got 3 Clubs:

1. Louisville City FC: As for my local club, the regular season was exceptional having the most points in USL Championship history. Playoffs though, they massively choked considering they were huge favorites to win the Playoff Championship.
2. Espanyol: They performed amazing this year and beyond all expectations. Survived relegation to end the 2024/25 season and made some good signings in the summer. I predicted that they'll finish mid-table this season but now the Pericos sit 5th in the table and are competing for Europe. What a fantastic turnaround for a club that's been yo-yoing between La Liga and Segunda Division over the past few years.
3. Everton: Very happy that Everton is doing great in 2025. Hiring Moyes last season just changed the energy of the Toffees and has made this club much more competitive in general. For the first time in a few years, Everton are no longer battling relegation and are comfortably mid-table. The team has cooled off a bit over the last few games this season but hoping a nice January window can improve the team a good deal.

[rapid coral]

everton: moyes’ stability and new owners have helped us come out of our shit era but it remains to be seen if he will stay in the long term a lá his first stint. despite our depth issues, the players are mostly alright (besides full backs as we are playing a center back out of position and a player who cannot attack) with the main standouts being kdh, ndiaye, and pickford as always. as opposed to a lot of our fanbase i believe our 30 million euro striker we bought this summer will start scoring but the fraudkin group’s complete refusal to sign a full-back which can support our attack is bewildering (i hoped it would be taken care of in the winter but moyes stated we will have a quiet january window)

[flat needle]

Could do better 1st team isnt playing good with the players they got 2nd team needs to be more consistent

[languid needle]

Good

[rapid coral]

real sociedad: aperribay go back to selling your stupid weapons instead of using them to (figuratively) destroy our team. worst season in about a decade with our new manager only being chosen because he was the cheapest despite the fact that we made so much money in recent windows with the gooners giving us so much for zubimendi. certain players could not give less of a fuck and i cannot wait for the winter window where hopefully sadiq, sucic, and kubo aka the overrated bum who has been doing nothing for more than a year stop embarrassing our club. at least thanks to players such as ander barrene, oyarzabal, jon martin, and gorrotxategi among others and bargain bin signing guedes rediscovering his form our situation is not as bad as it could be but the future remains bleak with oyarzabal potentially going to barcelona (i don’t blame him at all) and several clubs hunting after jon martin.

at least we were able to beat athletic club in quite the dramatic fashion (but that’s mainly because athletic is even worse). here’s to believing in the small chance that pellegrino materazzo ball will fix our problems

[twin cloud]

At the very start yes, at the end of last season no. 💔 and at the start of this season nahh never, and now it’s okay, nothing too crazy. Been a crazy year 😭

[dry stone]

Insanely mixed feelings

We are on position 1 over the winter break but also finished the worst season in club history

[grand flower]

Both

[odd citrus]

if i speak im in big trouble

[heady ermine]

I'm Barcelona but i would say a little bit

[odd citrus]

we went into 2025 as 2nd in the league

[maiden yacht]

Was not expecting chelsea to beat barca hell yeah im satisfied

Also psg in the cwc

Now just to win the premier league

[maiden stump]

I'm fan of 1. FC Nuremberg, I'm okay with our performance and I think we're on a good way, I just hope we don't sell too many players next summer

[maiden stump]

Delusional

[maiden yacht]

Let a man dream for once

[maiden stump]

Okay👍🏻, but don't be sad if they won't win

[maiden yacht]

If i see arsenal bottle the league it'll just be proof that london is blue

[sullen oar]

It worked out in 25/26 yeah

[maiden stump]

They will still be on top of you

And even Fulham might be on top of Chelsea

Is Aston Villa also a London club?

[maiden stump]

What? Mannheim isn't that good right now

[sullen oar]

Mate we were fighting relegation last 2 years fym isn’t that good

[maiden stump]

The question was about this year

[sullen oar]

Yeah

And the 25/26 half of 2025 was goin better

[maiden stump]

But now you are stuck in 3rd division in the middle of nowhere

[sullen oar]

?????

[maiden stump]

?

[sullen oar]

We‘ve been in that league since 19/20

[maiden stump]

Yes but you want to go up

[sullen oar]

In 24/25 we were barely escaping relegation

[maiden stump]

But this season you already changed the coach

[sullen oar]

So being not near to relegation is better????

[maiden stump]

Which relegation do you mean? Up or down

[sullen oar]

Yeah with Holtz it went better than the last 3

Down

Up is promotion.

[maiden stump]

Ok

[maiden stump]

Oh okay

But I thougt you want to be promoted

And the last months you were in a lot of trouble

[shell meadow]

Am ok with them

[sullen oar]

Yeah, but if it doesn’t happen this season it ain’t that bad

Just want it better than last years

[frosty coral]

As a Barça fan, can't complain. One of the best years supporting this club 💙 ❤️

[grand sentinel]

on a scale of 1-10, 8
We did really well this season but the Inter game, PSG game, Chelsea game, Madrid game 💔

so very satisfied

Question 198

Looking back on 2025 as a whole, how would you describe the year in football? What moments, trends, or storylines best defined it for you?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[maiden yacht]

Psg winning the champions league is like porto

Crazy right

[hoary raptor]

Curacao qualifying for the World Cup

[quick loom]

I liked the "are you are you coming to Madrid" trend that was funny

[light mantle]

My club won their first trophy in 92 years, best football year of my life, and we also won against villa somehow

[hoary raptor]

Yeah this year is just full of upsets

[valid shale]

ass 👍🏻 you aint watching football like 2000s or 2010s again

[dry plinth]

PSG winning the UCL, Curacao going to World Cup, and Man united having done the biggest comeback of 2025 against Lyon

see you next year for the daily question

[dim geyser]

Weirdest year since a long time

[haughty blaze]

Chelseas match against Barca was incredibly fun to watch and one of the top moments for me. Another big moment would have been Crystal palaces FA cup win as it was the first time I can remember a non prem champ winning that cup for a long time

[thick sparrow]

Underdogs year

[thick current]

bit of a boring year, a lot of flops and money playing too big of a part in the beautiful game

[surreal folio]

[maiden stump]

That was sick

[shadow oxide]

cant make fun of spurs anymore ffs

[trail narwhal]

[karmic kernel]

Palace FA Cup really shaped 2025 as the underdog year. First major trophy ever

[odd citrus]

[heady ermine]

Lol

[heady ermine]

Barca back baby

2026 will be barcas

[grand sentinel]

barça 4 el clásico wins in a row this year

[storm flare]

Domestic Treble
Narrowly missing out on ucl final football tragically
Most league points in 2025 and heading out the year on top
Not bad
Hopefully 2026 will deliver 💯

[merry quarry]

Unpredictable year most definitely

[mystic mica]

quite satisfied

[ocean fog]

5-4 Lyon Comeback in the quarters all just to lose to spurs in the end
A horrible season containing big losses, but since the new season started even tho we suffered a terrible loss to Grimsby and drew to wolves we are still making progress

[quasi flare]

Question 199

Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2026, what are your biggest expectations, hopes, or predictions for football this year, whether for your club, your country, or the sport as a whole?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[nimble tartan]

I want Turkey to finally qualify for the world cup and I want Fenerbahçe to finally win the league

[steel vapor]

BPL? it's the EPL and hopefully we win

[maiden stump]

Barclays Premier League = BPL

[atomic kite]

I js hope man utd finishes in the top 6 this season, top 5 if possible

Also, i hope we have an underdog that goes far in the wc this year like morocco last wc

Just give us more amazing games. This along the World Cup would make me very happy, especially with the club I support. At least I get to watch good football

[nova marsh]

Portugal win the world cup

That modern media dies in a fire, originality returns, ballon d'or gets deleted due to its false significance these days, Fraudizio Romano fully gets recognized for the unethical person he is, multi club ownership gets banned, foreign state ownership gets banned, and uh

Whitecaps to win MLS/Supporter shield/champions cup

3 in a row

https://tenor.com/view/herejes-gif-gif-herejes-mundial2022-qatar2022-gif-27273212

[slim fern]

For each of the 3 clubs I support:

1. Louisville City: This time to seal the deal in the playoffs especially with their disappointing first round exit in the USL Championship Playoffs. Also, to get some quality talent aboard considering they have lost some significant talent.
2. Espanyol: Two things that I would love to have happen in 2026 is to get a big derby win against Barcelona on Saturday. The other thing, get a place in European competition for next season and doesn't matter which it is (Champions League would be a dream come true but unlikely).
3. Everton: To pick up momentum after a big 2-0 over Nottingham Forest and carry it on through the rest of the season to the best of their ability. Also, hoping that Everton can get an opportunity to keep Grealish on a permanent basis.

[true otter]

After a great 2025 where Viking won their first title in 34 years and Norway qualified for their first World Cup in 28 years I just hope some level of competitiveness.

For Viking, whichever European tournament we end up on. Just a few points in the league phase will be incredible.

For Norway, getting out of the groups would be a great achievement.

[minor vale]

Top 4, since no chance we win the league

2010-2015 for me, I got into football properly at the 2010 fifa world cup so my first 5 years as a fan were when I had the most fun in the sport

[barren spade]

2010s for sure

[tropic lance]

I could say late 2000s but realistically 2010s onward

[drowsy schooner]

2016-2019, Camillo Ciano

And, ofc, Cesena

[drowsy schooner]

Sry, just wanted to respond here:
Genuinely hope we get 6th place or above in Serie B, and we finally qualify to Serie A, all im asking for

[rocky blaze]

2010s, FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi define that era for me.

2010-2018

[dapper basalt]

the late 00s because those years i was about 10-14 and about the time i was most obssessed with football probably.
06-10 had fergie era, wenger arsenal, there was no PSG, Chelsea was the only real oil club as City was just starting, Pep v Mourinho derbies in Spain
Serie A was still really strong, and Ibra was my biggest idol back then.
My national team went for a world cup for the first time in a long time, and following this golden gen in its baby steps, when Vidal, Alexis, Gary Medel were all young starlets, man its just a beautiful time for football for me.

[shadow oxide]

late 2000s to 2010s

[tidal lily]

2010s was when I got into football

[slow mulch]

2010 till 2019 was great and for me perhaps one of the best eras

[hidden hamlet]

late 2010’s, we broke into the premier league finally after our main rivals Swansea ended up in Europe.
No-neck Nathaniel Mendez Laing defines that period for me

[quasi flare]

Question 201

Do you think Chelsea and Maresca mutually ending their relationship was a good decision, or was it rushed and unnecessary?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[harsh dune]

rushed and unnecessary

[daring snow]

no

[raw nimbus]

Ruined their stability & season

[daring snow]

stupid from chelsea

smart from maresca

[ocean dagger]

If your gonna spend 1b then you should atleast win a ucl or league but Chelsea should have done it at the end of the season

[daring snow]

DONT COME HERE THO 🙏

[frosty coral]

It reminds me of Chelsea sacking Tuchel for no reason. So unnecessary.

[primal pine]

Rushed and unnecessary

[tranquil crow]

From what I’ve heard smart decision by maresca but absolutely mindless from Chelsea. Was necessary for maresca

[trail narwhal]

So rushed.

[thick sparrow]

Ruined their szn

[fluid bloom]

Rushed

[dry plinth]

Rushed and unnecessary

[astral kettle]

Rushed and unnecessary

Rushed and unnecessary

[trail vigil]

[tight obsidian]

wish Ineos had standards like this

I get why people think its stupid but I agree with tge board here

[paper nacelle]

Both, more a good decision than not though

[prisma frigate]

Silly management from the Chelsea board but the relationship couldn't continue once it got thus far

[slow mulch]

Hella rushed and completely unnecessary

[surreal folio]

It was rushed

[haughty blaze]

Terrible decison if the board just backed Maresca it would not have been necessarry and I cannot see another manager who would be willing to be a yes man do better than he did

[rapid laurel]

rushed and will set Chelsea back yet again

[harsh cobalt]

Rushed and unnecessary imo

[slim fern]

Rushed and uneccessary

[heady ermine]

What why

They're gonna regret this

[drowsy schooner]

2nd best itw(behind Tommaso Berti, ofc)

[forest wedge]

Good on Maresca.

[quick loom]

Nope

[young yarrow]

Whatever they decided was going to be the wrong decision. This whole thing is the result of having owners that are entirely focused on the business aspect, and if anything maresca probably leaves earlier if they didn't win club World Cup lol

[storm agate]

Bad because they won the club World Cup with him and I mean yeah

[quasi flare]

Question 202

Joan García delivered an insane, Man of the Match–worthy performance yesterday to help Barcelona beat Espanyol in the derby. Where do you rank him among the best goalkeepers in the world right now?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[daring snow]

[raw nimbus]

Purely on statistics barely anyone has been better than him so far, still only 6 months though so sample size is small(espanyol spell great but different conditions). But if he keeps this level for a year or two he is comfortably amongst the top 3/5 in the world.

Tough to give an exact placement rn due to the short sample size, but the performances so far are certainly very very good.

Question 203

Rúben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United. Do you think he was the problem at Manchester United, or are the club’s deeper structural issues holding them back, meaning they should stop sacking managers so frequently?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[thick sparrow]

He was kinda a problem but he wasn't sacked he left

[coral kraken]

[coarse oasis]

this is a problem
Mark My Words

[frosty coral]

This is no different from when they sacked Ten Hag. Should've done it at the end of the season instead of mid-season.

Stupid ass club won't get anywhere.

[steady olive]

Deep structural issues

[tropic lance]

The problem runs down to the core, the board and the owners and SJR. Now we’re stuck with Fletcher for 6 months until we get a manager in the summer. Amorim had to go for me, but my goodness the fact that we sacked him while Berrada and Wilcox are still here and INEOS and SJR? The cycle’s not ending any time soon.

[rocky blaze]

United is finna gonna get relegated this season if not then maximum 2 more seasons later, MARK MY WORDS!

[steady olive]

stfu

[hardy frigate]

both

[haughty blaze]

Definelty deeper problems given the ammount of managers they have had without much success it suggests there is problems with the ownership and general running of the club not just the manager

[haughty blaze]

It was reported that he was sacked

[atomic kite]

Moyes
Van Gaal
Mourinho
Ole
Rangnick
Ten Hag
Amorim
Mourinho, ronaldo, rangnick and amorim all spoke up, got terminated/sacked. What do u think?

[dry plinth]

The club structure is the problem, Amorim was such a good trainer at Sporting Portugal

[dapper basalt]

Second option without a doubt

[true otter]

There are deeper issues at the club, but Amorim was also simply not doing a very good job.

Around 30% win rate in the Premier League with Manchester United is nowhere near acceptable.

[shadow lily]

Not Amorim supporter but
Board were waiting for 1 year so they could save up their termination clause
I mean Amorim had a bad start and reputation and there were little good moments in the autumn season
The Board were waiting for Amorim's mistake to sack him at the right time

But it will cost alot cuz sacking in mid season is bad idea

[harsh cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-gif-5364276618811860441

Just when he was getting good bro

[tight obsidian]

I dont get the agenda of "stop sacking every time" when every top club does it and no one says a thing

its a problem only when United do it

and yes Amorim deserved the sack for his performances and setup

[astral kettle]

Rushed and unnecessary

[merry lance]

Funny management

[shadow lily]

Chelsea sacking was more shocking tbh

[merry lance]

Good, Maresca left this shit

[shadow lily]

Chelsea board really wants "yes man" for their team

[slim fern]

Honestly, it's both. Amorim is too inconsistent to keep lasting success but there are so many issues within the club itself mainly with the ownership and management.

[merry lance]

And yes, the sacking was valid, just the timing was wrong.

[true otter]

United are getting themselves in to an awkward cycle. Sacking a coach mid-season means a new guy comes in, hasn't got much time to really put his ideas in place, and the squad he has is filled with baggage.

By the time summer comes, the new coach is now carrying that baggage.

What United really need is to get a new coach ready to start July 1st. Revamp the squad, everyone should be for sale. The new coach and new players aren't then carrying baggage in to a new season.

[thick current]

the club is a mess, the owners and the fans think they are bigger than what they are and that is united's problem

imo the board is at the wrong here

[magic nebula]

Yes

[junior blaze]

The club is the problem

[alpine ginkgo]

both

[dry plinth]

clubs now have that thing of sacking whenever it goes bad for a shoort period of time (Wolves, Nottm Forest, Chelsea and now Utd), this thing is heading nowhere, look at Slot, he stayed cuz they let him a chance

and Ratcliffe can't even assume what he says

"I let him 3 years"

not even 3 months later: sacked

[merry quarry]

Agreed
However slot really has to go

He’s a horrible coach and somehow done the impossible and made Mohamed Salah his enemy

[dry plinth]

Salah is getting aged also

but I can hear your opinion, and maybe yes he would

Klopp was way better anyways

wanna know something ? Garnacho liked the sacking of Amorim

[young yarrow]

Of course there are deep issues at man united. If there was not then they would be a good team by now as they keep making little band aid changes but nothing has changed over the years. But as long as they believe that their "big club" status means that they should always be challenging for the treble each season and pretending like they are a prime destination for everyone who will stay at a high level for many years to come, more of the current situation will follow.

[daring snow]

this is how i find out lol

[lapis nimbus]

it's leaning more towards the latter.

[heady ermine]

I think they will change actually when comes back from league one again.

Question 204

Who do you think are the biggest cult heroes of your club?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[sullen oar]

Birlik for this one

[vale elk]

Norbert Dickel

[sullen oar]

Otto Siffling for being the best player and an antifascist

Fritz Walter for his 4 goals in one match against

[dry plinth]

PSG: Dembélé
Chelsea: Drogba

[nova pulsar]

Mascherano, Rakitic and Frenkie De Jong

[hoary raptor]

Cesar Azpilicueta

[paper nacelle]

Nial Quinn

[thin agate]

Totti and De Rossi

[magic galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/aubameyang-auba-aubabarca-gif-24955387

[shadow lily]

Insigne and Mertens 2014

[frosty coral]

In recent years, Aubameyang and Luuk de Jong at Barcelona but they didn't spend a significant amount of time at the club.
Some other names on the top of my head:

• Juliano Belletti
• Seydou Keita
• Franck Kessie
• Adriano (Brazilian fullback)
• Paulinho
• Jasper Cillessen

[small snow]

https://tenor.com/view/graham-carey-st-johnstone-celebrate-gif-3844562787675460657

[raw nimbus]

They are way bigger than cult heroes though

[small snow]

• David norris

[raw nimbus]

One of the biggest Chelsea legends
That aint no cult hero

[raw nimbus]

Aren’t they Napoli’s some of the highest scorers in history

[raw nimbus]

Nice list

[atomic kite]

At man utd, i feel it has to be rafael and fabio silva

Whenever someone say man utd right backs, everyone says the neville brothers

[dry plinth]

mmh yeah

[frosty coral]

@nova pulsar Mascherano and Rakitic would be classified as legends. Way bigger status than cult heroes.

[lofty dagger]

Martin odegaard

[covert ibex]

mmh

ig

for real madrid is

Florentino Perez

That’s not what a cult hero means

[covert ibex]

aw

[raw nimbus]

Very big united legend
Bigger than a cult hero ngl

[raw nimbus]

Yeah but if they are napoli’s highest goalscorer evers thats way bigger than cult hero status

[covert ibex]

eric

[raw nimbus]

That is more so legendary status

[cedar vigil]

Definitely not. I'd say Diawara

Or Revelliere

[raw nimbus]

Yeah diawara is a good shout for Napoli cult hero

Mertens & Insigne are more legends
Not cult heroes

[cedar vigil]

born and bred napoli fan responds to recent napoli fanslop (i'm sorry)

[ocean fog]

trejo, isi, bebe, valentin

[naive ledge]

Oh yh definitely

[cedar vigil]

can't forget the big man

Petagna

Who was actually somehow decent

[naive ledge]

He was the catalyst for the Fergie era

[nova pulsar]

ig yah

[tight obsidian]

Only supported since early 2010s, Cavani, McTominay, Maguire, Fellaini, Bailly, AWB, Romero, Herrera, Chicharito names that come to my mind first

[simple lark]

Rakitic, aubameyang and luuk

[raw nimbus]

Messi

He is Barca’s biggest ever legend

🥀

[simple lark]

I went random sorry

[raw nimbus]

Rakitic is also rated as a legend by Barcelona

Auba yeah true

Kind of a cult hero amongst Barcelona fans

[simple lark]

Look at my editing

I added luuk

[raw nimbus]

Luuk also cool shout

[harsh cobalt]

Fabio Silva

[jolly vortex]

I absolutely think Thiago Alcantara should be one and at least was at one point

[hollow remnant]

Drogba, Diawara, Waddle, Bielsa

[fluid bloom]

Chidi Odia, Vagner Love, Doumbia, Yazici, Shemberbas

And much more

[hollow remnant]

Honestly there are a lot because we love worshipping mid players lol

[slim fern]

There's plenty for Espanyol to list honestly since they never have been as successful as Barca. I say the biggest are Thomas N'kono, Maranon, and Canito.

[rapid coral]

for our “modern era”

John Aldridge (1st non-basque player to play for Real Sociedad in decades, played very well and took to the culture)

Nihat (winger who starred in Real Sociedad’s 2nd place finish in 2002, our first title challenge in decades)

Kovacevic also starred but he is closer to being a genuine legend

Xabi Prieto is also definitely a legend and Oyarzabal will be for cert if he stays

also icl most youth products from our academy (one of the best itw) become at least cult heroes if they stay

He is Barca’s biggest ever legend mate…
Thats not what a cult hero is

[dull sinew]

i dont know what cult hero means :/

[raw nimbus]

One of BVB’s biggest ever legends
Not a cult hero

[cobalt thistle]

How do u define cult hero

[dull sinew]

[raw nimbus]

@dull sinew @cobalt thistle
Players who aren’t that good or were at a team for a very short time but are very much loved by the fanbase still are called “cult heroes”

For example Origi for Liverpool, wasn’t an elite player or anything but Liverpool fans still love him as he scored important goals

Joselu for Madrid a recent example for his ucl goals in 2024

Messi & Reus are some of the biggest names in Barcelona/BVB’s history so they are way bigger status than cult heroes

[dull sinew]

hmmm

[cobalt thistle]

You dont have to be "not that good" to be considered a cult hero, its the qualities outside of skills that matter, like dedication, Connection, personality, blah blah blah

Atleast thats how i define it

And reus is more than just skills obv

[dull sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/heiitse-cfc-chelsea-fc-pedro-happy-gif-16534157

[rapid coral]

i’ve always thought of cult heroes as players who aren’t legends but are still loved by the fans

even if they were still very good

[raw nimbus]

Well your personal definition can be whatever
But thats what cult hero means

Even then reus is a very big bvb legend, so he doesn’t fit the cult hero metric by any means

[raw nimbus]

Thats also another valid definition

[dull sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/remontada-cest-pas-possible-stephane-gif-11246056

[rapid coral]

i mean since both my clubs have won a combined 1 trophy this century

🤷‍♂️

[raw nimbus]

Reus made over 400 appearances for Dortmund & scored over 150 goals & is comfortably the clubs best player this century. Won a couple of Pokal’s as well.

Thats a lot of success, his status is definitely bigger than a cult hero.

[cobalt thistle]

Well like i dont expect agreement, i just want it to be understandable where my point is coming from

👽

[cobalt thistle]

I agree to a degree but his success is very limited in trophies due to his decision to stay at Dortmund with various offers of bigger clubs

Not only in the trophies closet, but also in the fact that he didnt get a Ballon dor notification in the 18/19 (iirc) season

I have chatted in this channel way more than i ever did before

[dapper basalt]

a cult hero would be Henrik Larsson

or Pinto

for Man United probably Chicharito

[grand flower]

Yildiz ✌️

[heady ermine]

Olmo

[hoary raptor]

What about Nicolas Anelka?

[raw nimbus]

Yeah he kind of fits

[raw nimbus]

Good shout for barca yeah

[dapper basalt]

hmm Ibra for Man United

[raw nimbus]

Very good shout

Was there just for 18 months but wow

he gotta be more cult than legend

like u said, short term

huge impact, loved by fans

Question 205

The Supercopa de España has been held in Saudi Arabia regularly. Do you think minor tournaments like these being organised abroad is fine, or does this also ruin the culture of the sport?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[primal pine]

As long as it’s minor tournaments, then yes it’s fine

[harsh cobalt]

Eh

[hollow remnant]

utter woke nonsense

[harsh cobalt]

I don’t have a problem with it

[true otter]

If it means no serious games move, it's the lesser of 2 evils.

[grand flower]

Doesn't really matter to me as long as the game is being played

[zenith knoll]

If it's a national tournament it's supposed to be held in that nation

[hollow remnant]

it produces lame games without any atmosphere as fans can't come

[thick sparrow]

It ruins the sport

[raw nimbus]

Not really bothered by these super cups being played abroad, as long as the League games & Cup games stay in their home country

[dry plinth]

Ruins sport since fans can't come

Even if it's minor

[brisk aurora]

its ok for a two matches tournament

the tournament isnt ok bc npc teams become even more richer by farming it tho

[rapid laurel]

fuck countries like saudi for sportswashing

[dapper basalt]

who cares about having an opinion at this point, its not like we have any power whatsoever to influence

[tight obsidian]

if its advertised as a friendly tournament and not domestic, competitive or anything, its fine

[tropic lance]

I don’t think it matters honestly. At least it’s not league games being played overseas

[final marlin]

no, it should stay in Spain

[young yarrow]

Hard to say it's even minor with the way media promotes it. Also supercups in general should be preseason and 1 match, not sure why they host it mid season

[haughty blaze]

Probably would be better to be held in Spain but as long as the main ones are held at home I don’t mind too much

[alpine ginkgo]

It's ridiculous.

[alpine ginkgo]

probably to do with $$$ but who knows

[ocean fog]

Laliga teams shouldn't have to go to a different country to play a game for a SPANISH competition

[drowsy schooner]

Exactly

[merry quarry]

Yes
Mainly because it’s hosted by an Arab nation which never fail to impress

When it comes to football

[small stream]

I would have been fine w it if there was a legit reason, but theyre js doing it for money,

[thick current]

blatantly prioritising money over fans and culture, not good

[woven charm]

I find this very good for fans that are around that (me) so getting to matches is much easier

Question 206

Man City have signed Antoine Semenyo for big money. Arsenal are currently five points ahead of them, with a game in hand. Do you think Semenyo can be a game-changer for Man City in the title race?

[junior blaze]

Probably

[dapper basalt]

Wat?
Semenyo left for City?

Guardiola lmao

[junior blaze]

Yessir

[ocean dagger]

I feel like the game today will bascially decide the title. If arsenal win against Liverpool then they will go on to win but if arsenal loses then man city will come back and overtake them

[dapper basalt]

Doku, Foden isnt enough

[junior blaze]

It's so confusing tbh

[quasi flare]

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2008668184182964699

Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano)

🚨🔵 Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City, here we go! Documents exchanged and sealed with Bournemouth.

£65m transfer fee, Semenyo to sign long term deal after medical tests on Thursday.

Semenyo picked #MCFC over 4 PL top clubs as wanted to work under Pep Guardiola.

X · Jan 6, 2026, 10:33 PM

[junior blaze]

Idk probably he wants to throw both foden and Cherki in midfield which is a bit weird

[dapper basalt]

Pep is a goat but his overreliance on big money and buying people has to be raised

[lapis nimbus]

Surely, although I haven't seen anything from him (since I don't watch the prem), he can change games, from what I've heard he's heavily involved in almost every attack n build up.

[dapper basalt]

well, to answer the question no. I dont think a winger from Bournemouth would be a gamechanger. He is great, but not world class. In fact he could very well flop too

Remember when Bony was taken in the winter from sensational Swansea

we will see

[hoary raptor]

Not really, Arsenal is already good enough and they have some decent wingers as well

[junior blaze]

Comparing Bony to Semenyo is ragebait tbh

[true otter]

No. City already have a very good team, he's an upgrade but it's not exactly massively significant on the whole.

[true otter]

I don't think him playing for Bournemouth matters to be fair. Top teams rarely develop top players, most are bought in.

[junior blaze]

Semenyo is already at a world class level at Bournemouth while Bony... let's just say he was a "prospect"

[quasi hull]

Udk

Idk

[stray oracle]

No....i feel city just bought him to increase their depth he wont get as much gametime as he did in bournemouth and i dont think he will have the biggest impact

[quasi hull]

I don't think semenyo will be 100% magic but ye

[proven geode]

Yep our attack in the past few fixtures have been dreadful

[dry plinth]

We'll see

[tight obsidian]

sensational player will def strengthen the side, will it win the title for them alone? We'll have to see

him and Doku man Pep has a filthy lineup of wingers

[thick sparrow]

Yess

[sharp ridge]

No

[haughty blaze]

He will massively hlep City of course idk if he will turn the season around for them given the points defecit and Man Citys injuries in defence

[twin cloud]

Nahh, don’t think city will win it

[slim fern]

He could be but I want to wait and see if that's the case once he hits the pitch.

[grand flower]

Doubtful but possible

[fluid ibex]

No we are cooked

[drowsy schooner]

Personally i see it as a new kalvin Philips, bcz in bornemouth he was the star but again, if he has good adapting then half the job its done

[rapid laurel]

maybe

[primal pine]

Arsenal will bottle it idc

[dapper basalt]

Nope. You have that perspective because he flopped at City.

Bony costed 28 million pounds, in 2015, that was a lot of money

which means he was hot at the time

comparing them two is very valid

scored 25 goals in 54 league games for Swansea

matter fact, if Semenyo flops, we would be having this same conversation about Semenyo being a "prospect"

in the future I mean

[shadow oxide]

maybe another doku or worse

[torn urchin]

The question is will he even start enough games?

[woven charm]

no

[quasi flare]

Question 207

Viktor Gyökeres is struggling a lot at the moment. Do you think he can still bounce back and recover his form, or is he going to go down as a failed transfer for the Gunners?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[winged cloud]

His heat map is his hair

🔥🔥

Touching it all the time

[grand flower]

I think he will bounce back

[thick current]

he's shit

[trail narwhal]

I really hope he recovers.

[knotty yew]

Just give him more time

[frosty coral]

I say give him some time

[fluid bloom]

Hell naw

[true otter]

He's just not good enough.

[daring snow]

worst transfer prems seen in years

[dapper basalt]

If Arteta got trust in his process then Gyok deserves to be trust in his process

[jolly vortex]

It was written in the stars this would be a failed transfer imo.

And it will stay that way.

He is not europe top 5 quality and with his age I doubt he will ever really get near there.
Slows down the tempo and whatever else.

[slim fern]

That's my thought process as well.

[slim fern]

There still is plenty of time. Just needs to get hot at the right moment

[raw nimbus]

His technique is pretty poor for the very top teams& he needs way too much space to work most of the time

[haughty blaze]

I don’t think he rebounds at this point tbh

[thick sparrow]

He is scoring but overally playing bad

[heady ermine]

Idt he'll be back

Arsenal is in their best now

[raw nimbus]

He has 5 NPG in 23 games

[covert ibex]

i dont think he will bounce back at this form

[harsh cobalt]

Fuh naw

[dry plinth]

well it's only some months since he arrived, let him a bit of time, Arsenal has many stars so he needs a bit of time to bounce back

[shell totem]

he’ll probably improve, but he isn’t capable of being an elite striker in the prem. he’s quite, quite limited and the price tag only puts more pressure on arteta to play him in conditions he isn’t supposed to be playing in, like yesterday, where he shouldn’t have started vs liverpool.

[shadow oxide]

maybe just loan out

[surreal folio]

He's ass and ye I don't think he's gonna come back and be good again

[frosty basin]

hell nah

[weary veldt]

Failed tranfser for now, until he starts to click with someone in the team he might find his form back

[grand sentinel]

Failed transfer

[drowsy schooner]

He could be a Premier League striker, don't get me wrong, i would say he perfectly fits a Crystal Palace or Fulham women's team

[hoary raptor]

Just give him some time, perhaps next season he's gonna score a lot of goals

[agile marsh]

He looked good before his injury, looked like he was starting to build momentum. Ever since he came back, he has looked slow and demotivated. He doesn't even try to do the runs anymore aside from a couple good headers against Villa

[winter wave]

Give him some time, and then transfer cause he can't achieve shit at Arsenal

[ocean fog]

Will peak at 12 goals in a single season

Question 210

Frenkie de Jong gave an incredible performance yesterday in El Clásico. Apart from his red card, he dominated the whole match. Do you feel he deserves more praise and respect from the football community than he currently gets?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[dusky sky]

As a madridsta no

[rotund bone]

hes fairly rated

[woven charm]

overhated by barca fans due to wage problems

[frosty coral]

He deserves more praise from the Barça fanbase, for starters.

[viscid moon]

he is quite underrated then he's perforam for this season

[woven charm]

give the guy more respect

[dry plinth]

just more respect yeah

[grand flower]

Deserves more praise

[atomic kite]

if i speak im in trouble

[woven charm]

when it comes to pure football he might be just a bit overrated

[bright umbra]

idk maybe

[tropic lance]

I think he should get more flowers for his performances, he’s not bad at all, and I do rate him pretty highly. I do feel that the Barcelona fanbase either loves him or hates him

[fluid bloom]

Hell yes

My goat

[haughty star]

No

😂 ✌️

[trail narwhal]

Underrated.

[dapper basalt]

He is a world class midfielder, always been. People have amnesia and can't think past one week.

[surreal folio]

Nah

[twin cloud]

Yes, yes, yes. One of the best midfielders out there

[rapid laurel]

feel like hes deserved the respect rn

[storm flare]

Yes

[torn urchin]

No

[slim fern]

Maybe

[merry quarry]

no

[alpine ginkgo]

He should be condemned for that horrible tackle on Mbappe

Best midfielder yesterday, deserves the respect for the absolute world class performance in my personal opinion, never expected this big game dance honestly

Question 211

Xabi Alonso has been sacked by Real Madrid. He generated a lot of hype and expectations following his appointment, thanks to his legendary playing career and his coaching work at Bayer Leverkusen. After this disaster at Real Madrid, do you feel Xabi still has what it takes to become a legendary manager, or do you think his Leverkusen job was just luck?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[dusky sky]

Well honestly idk

[jovial pagoda]

Maybe he has, maybe he hasn’t

[ornate aurora]

Deffo wasn’t ready yet to manage Real Madrid

[analog granite]

hope so

[frosty coral]

He's gonna do well at a club that isn't toxic

[covert ibex]

man its not luck

[fresh seal]

ofc hes gonna succeed at the next club

ending bayerns streak wasnt a fluke

[quasi hull]

Idk

Don't think it's all luck

[frosty coral]

Remember the style of football that he learned playing for Spain NT and under Guardiola.

Madrid is not built for that.

[hollow sandal]

I think xabi was a great manager at leverkusen i think he wasnt ready to take a big jump straight at madrid if he stayed at leverkusen bit more sesons we would have been more ready and i think he will do a better job at a different club

[dark surge]

Xabi was good but madrid isn't giving him 2-3 seasons to prove himself, he isnt a man that can magicly be able to win ucl,laliga,supercopa,copa del rey all in only 1 season man

[true otter]

You can't have 1 defeat in 3 competitions through luck.

He won't be the first or the last very good coach that doesn't work out at Madrid. He'll be fine.

[daring snow]

what happened with real madrid shouldnt damage his rep
still a great coach

[weary veldt]

Nope
He can still do amazing somewhere else
Madrid is a big problem.

[grand flower]

He does but his level isn't at Madrid's yet

[rare jackal]

Madrid r too toxic for a manager like him to succeed watch him cook at Liverpool

[jovial ocean]

He can do better

[storm flare]

Great coach he can do well outside of Real Madrid
Madrid is like…idk

[hollow remnant]

He's a great manager

Unfortunately the step up was too difficult for him

There is was more pressure in Madrid than in Leverkusen

[tight obsidian]

he was fighting a losing civil war at Real Madrid. Players and board refusing to accept him. Players believing they know better, the fact there is no more the old guard (Kroos, Modric, etc.) to guide the other players and especially the fact that he didn't align with Perez's Galacticos ideology set him up for failure from the start. Real Madrid as a club need to evolve and modernize in this regard to compete with the top clubs and avoid another Alonso situation

[astral kettle]

He wasn't sacked and it wasn't a disaster, just unlucky

[haughty blaze]

Absolutely has what it takes its just very hard to succeed at Real given the player power in that club

[light mantle]

Pls come back Xabi 😭

[slim fern]

He still has what it takes. It needs to be a club willing to support him with his tactics and coaching style. Just not at Real Madrid.

[thick sparrow]

Luck imo he's poor

[woven charm]

he will be better

[winter wave]

ABSOLUTELY has it.

[dry plinth]

I think he is, but managing Real Madrid was a bit too much for him in my opinion

[lapis nimbus]

Leverkusen was hella lucky, but we gotta give him the fact that the players actually played his tactics and yeah, he still has what it takes to become one.

[dapper basalt]

Real Madrid job wasn't a disaster. Winning a bundes against Bayern with the points and style of play they had says it all. He is talented.

[junior blaze]

He can

[surreal folio]

Ye I see a potential to manage a good team and do great again, and I don't think it was luck

[midnight hare]

You can't have an undefeated season because of "just luck". Dethroning Bayern has been impossible for anyone else in recent history. I also think Real Madrid overreacted, sacking someone for losing the Supercashgrab de Saudi is insane. If at the end of this season they didn't win LaLiga or UCL then I would understand it, but this is honestly just too early to sack someone

[trail narwhal]

He can still become a legendary manager. This is only because of the dictator Mobutu.

[narrow hemlock]

as a Barca fan, i still believe he can be legendary coach. After all, its the problem with the club not him. He a coach that's better at managing tactics, not players, hence the reason on why he was good with Leverkusen.

[karmic kernel]

I think he’ll do great in the future. I think he went to the wrong club. There’s too much ego at Madrid to make his system work. I hope he finds a club that will appreciate and respect him

[tawdry merlin]

if youre managing real madrid, ofc the fans are gonna expect top notch plays every time

what do u expect

they js forget what u did for them on one bad game

[crystal tartan]

He was so good it was probaly luck and he should come to man utd

[small snow]

its not a disaster lol he did fine

[glossy thorn]

that's impossible to be luck, I just feel he couldn't handle the ego of some Madrid players

[frosty basin]

he absolutely still has what it takes to become a top, even legendary, manager. The Leverkusen job was not “just luck,” but Real Madrid is a uniquely brutal environment that has ended or damaged many great coaches.

[soft sparrow]

This is a fucking shame for u

[uneven mirage]

I can name 10 English strikers better than vardy

[gloomy cave]

Are you alr?

[true otter]

Different kinds of overrated, but I'll name 2.

Pogba. Wonderfully gifted, insane levels of talent, but the reality is that since leaving Juventus 10 years ago he's had maybe 18 good months, but people still speak of him way too highly.

Carvajal. Fans that judge individuals by team trophies love him, rate him at the high end of right backs all time and reality is that he's just serviceable to good.

[merry dew]

yeah

[soft sparrow]

Yes there's,but you cannot just say Vardy's overrated

[gloomy cave]

What about zlatan?

[uneven mirage]

He is

[soft sparrow]

If every Grassroot play is overrated then stop playing football then

Messi is from grassroot

Ronaldo is from grassroot

He's overrated

[soft sparrow]

Shame of Football fans

[quasi flare]

@soft sparrow @uneven mirage @gloomy cave

Stop it. You answered the question, so just leave. Don't flood the chat with unnecesary bullshit

[soft sparrow]

Ok

[uneven mirage]

Okay

[stray oracle]

Kai Havertz
there are many but he is the first come that came to my mind

[quasi hull]

Vini or Saka, how people like to compare foden to saka is mad

[jovial crest]

More recent one, Victor Gyokeres or as I call him, Gyok Lesnar.
No one expected to underperform so much after his move to Arsenal

[frosty coral]

Casemiro. I've seen him being compared with all time greats like Busquets and Kante. He's nowhere near.

He's built his rep from the UCL 3 peat seasons but in 2016/17 he was so bad.
Should've been sent off in the league Clasico and the UCL 2nd leg against Bayern.

[slim fern]

For me, it's Vini Jr.

[harsh cobalt]

Most of the streets will never forget players

[raw nimbus]

Ozil & Kane 🤐

[true otter]

Ozil probably makes my overrated XI

[terse nebula]

Messi Neymar Lamine Yamal Pedri

[raw nimbus]

Name all Barca & Argentina players atp brother

[terse nebula]

But i like di maria and rafinha

[magic galleon]

Dembele benzema and scholes

[empty tide]

Benzema vini jr ramos

[valid shale]

pele

[merry quarry]

Neymar

Had one good year In Barca and people glaze him till this day for it

[long cave]

Someone that retired a few days ago, Mamadou Sakho. Always kicked out of every club he was in, his times in the French NT weren't glorious and his name speaks louder than his skills.

[narrow hemlock]

As of now, Vini jr, I still remember when he promised to be 10x better after losing the Ballon d'Or! still hope he changes and becomes better, we need more brazil flair back!

But of all time, I honestly have to mario balloteli! He was the first player (correct me if I'm wrong) that got the Golden Boy award. I'm pretty sure there was a lot of hype around him, especially potential wise to become one of the best players in the world and win ballon d'Or's! However, it just became all bark but no bite due to his issues off the pitch and just didn't take his opportunities serious enough.

maybe in a different world, if he took his chances seriously.. he would have won one.. maybe could have been up there as one italys best talents of all time.

[woven charm]

Well he is good but bro idk the crazy hype abt Pele sure hes good and all but this guy is kinda mid for today if u watch whatever clips are avaliable of him like he literally isn't a goat imo

[alpine ginkgo]

Theo Walcott

[storm flare]

Vini & Casemiro

[rapid laurel]

vini jr at the moment whines about not starting but when he does he doesnt do anything

[surreal folio]

Maybe rn vini

[tawdry merlin]

vinicius bro

[stuck ocean]

this is tough probably rodri or vini
