Taylor Swift

Two weeks to prepare for one of the worst teams in the league and we come out like it's a pre-season friendly. Sorry, but it's his fault, completely.

When we were 2-1 up he was shouting at Ba to track back and mark their midfielder. He has to learn that shit like this doesn't fly, and he has to learn fucking fast.

As usual, funnily enough.

What the fuck did Pardew spend the past two weeks doing? That was pathetic.

Woeful performance. Pardew deserves 100% of the blame for this. We came out and looked lost, played without any tempo and only scored before Wolves gave it away. The second half was even worse than the first.

We had two weeks to prepare for this. Inept by Pardew.

Woeful by Simpson.

And I thought your NFL related postings were bad. Fuck off.

And I thought your NFL related postings were bad. My NFL stuff is just mostly bs anyway.

Are you kiddin' me, bro? 20 years from now, Messi will be talked about no matter what he does for the rest of his career primarily because he was the best player on the best team ever. Messi and this Barca team are inextricably linked forever. People talk about the best player and they talk about Pele and Maradona, then someone like Cruyff. Messi, to me, is better than Cruyff. So already he's at #3 and that's only if you give importance to the WC and ignore the quality of the CL today.

Get in son

Barca weren't just the best team of the century, they were the best ever.

How does their fantastic achievement for the last 3 years (they lost to Inter in the CL final of 2010 btw) make them the invincible team of the century? They were not even invincible in those 3 years? Name me another club side that has had as incredible a run as they have. Running away with league again and again, wiping away teams in Europe, playing superb football and dominating every match they play, regardless of the result. No team has ever done what they did. None. MJ's Bulls went 72-10 once, and they're considered an invincible team, even though they lost ten games that season. Individual losses don't matter when you win everything in the style and way that Barca did. They didn't sneak 1-0 wins to win the title, they smashed teams right, left and center. They is the sort of post that proves the Barca overhype. They were not smashing teams left right and centre, they were fantastic aye but there were also many wins with just the one goal margin. I don't know bout MJ Bulls being called invincible let alone team of the century, but to me Barca need to do much more to get such hyped up titles like team of the century. Team of the decade maybe, even then teams like Man Utd and Milan would give them a close run for the money. Do you even know teams that played say before the 1970s? Who is your team of the century, then? My opinion is that in football, and in every sport, it's harder and harder to dominate because technological advances in physical training and informational advances in dieting and such has meant that most of the top tier players are physically at the same level. This means that there are more 'top' players than before. Which means that it is harder to dominate. So for a team to do so today, it is much more impressive than to have done it 40 years ago, when there were 8 teams in the European Cup and you only needed to win a few matches to win it. Everyone plays football today, so there are more good players today than ever before, purely because the pool of talent is greater than before. This is simply statistics and probability. So to dominate today in the way Barca and Messi have is incredibly impressive. What they've done is unmatched in the proper context. If someone says 'what about the Real team that won 5 straight CLs?' then they have no clue about statistics.

So after 3 years of smacking everyone in their path, they now have a season where they're not at their best. That doesn't negate anything they did in the past 3 years. Their run, which isn't over by any means, is the greatest of any club side ever. They were the invincible team of the century, like it or not. Maybe not now, but for the past 3 years, of course. If they win the CL this season and the cup, and Madrid win the league, who will have had the better season? Barca, I say.

Mark Davies is an excellent footballer.

Lescott. Finally.

This is such a shit match.

Anyone who would start Obertan or R Taylor over Ben Arfa in any match in any situation is a fucking pussy who's forgotten all about how we were successful under SBR and KK. There are ways to play football that lead to long-term success. We're not playing that type of football, but we have the players that are capable of doing so.

Perch is fucking shit. And how is Obertan on the pitch?

FUCK OFF
