With Partizan away fans in 2008 apparently (bottom left)

Ah assumed it was an FA Cup match, didn't bother to check. Makes sense.

Interesting that we're letting him play in the cups but made sure Armstrong couldn't

Superb

'Bilboa' And nar. No way was the Williams one better, it was not as premeditated/deliberate.

Benitez a reason for his (relatively) poor form this season as well? Aye. He's an awful choice for a Real Madrid manager. Especially off the back of his job at Napoli where he ultimately alienated all of their best players (Hamsik, Higuain, Insigne) and managed to finish 5th behind a very average Lazio side.

Didn't realise he was quite as old as he is. Had him down as 28 or 29 but he'll turn 31 in February. He's probably got one more big contract left to sign and it'll be interesting to see what he does with his last few years. The obvious rumour is PSG as Ibrahimovic is out of contract at the end of the season. Could possibly see it I guess. A chance to still be the top dog as he ages and score a shitload for his last couple of years.

I've felt Ronaldo would be number 2 for it this year based on his numbers, but looking at that there really isn't a lot between him and Neymar/Suarez over the calender year. Could absolutely make the case for a Barca top 3 considering the treble win.

There was always a chance that physical decline could hit Ronaldo really hard. Which would cripple his ego. Probably too early to write him off now, but he looks more rigid than ever.

But they're not anywhere near as good as those 2. If you swap the signings around for both clubs Madrid dominate in Spain for the next 4-5 years. Instead Barca have 3 of the 5 best players in the world (who complement each other exceptionally) whereas Madrid have 1 who's gone past 30. Madrid's midfield is better than Barca's these days. The last Clasico was the first time they absolutely controlled the game for the first time in years. But they lost because of the superior firepower going forward.

I hate him more than all of our managers in recent times. Shut up you tit.

Madrid have a better squad and more depth than Barca these days, but they fucked up with the dick measuring galactico type signings. Neymar and Suarez are far better than Bale and James Rodriguez.

Giroud is trash

Hahahahahah placka snakes, what a sport

Yessss Delph pantomime

To be honest you could put a pretty decent team together for most of the regions in Spain. Canaries would have a David Silva, Pedro, Ayoze frontline.

Who would win between the Basque region and Catalonia do you think? Is that a serious question? Why woudn't it be? They play each other quite often and the games are usually draws. TBF they don't play quite often at all, while it's usually draws I don't doubt for a second if both had to play on the international stage that the Catalan team would be more successful. Catalonia have bigger names but they're largely aging (Valdes and Xavi). Basque have more depth and better strikers. Basque team would probably be stronger if you include the French basque region (the Basque national team only includes the autonomous region within Spain.) Fair enough, was thinking more in terms of last decade or so. I mean Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets ends that for me. Yeah I'd agree 5 years ago the Catalan team would be stacked. Iniesta's not Catalan btw. He played once for Catalonia but that's only because they sometimes have guest players (Cruyff and a few others have played as well). Aye Had forgotten about that. Isn't Bojan catalan though? Aye. He always seems to turn out (and has a great record for) Catalonia as well.

It wasn't even bad.

Who would win between the Basque region and Catalonia do you think? 1-1 draw December last year.

Well they certainly don't turn up in their droves likes morons if they feel they're getting a raw deal. Shame our fans didn't have the same backbone and ability to collectivize. Italian football is filled with shitshow owners taking clubs for a ride (see Massimo Cellino at Leeds and imagine 2 divisions of clubs ran by the likes of him) and geriatric officials running the league in reverse. When they boycott they actually do it. Two curvas at the Olimpico both completely empty. Our fans have been pissed on by a tyrant for approaching a decade now and they all still lap it up week in, week out like a gaggle of fucking dullards.

Why? http://www.espnfc.com/italian-serie-a/12/blog/post/2701454/roma-and-lazios-derby-overshadowed-by-absent-fans

Both sets of ultras boycotting the Rome derby.
