The only thing that really matters to me though is that being English, I obviously care more about the Premier League and watching Messi playing over here would have been incredible. He'd have single handedly got me watching 2 more Newcastle matches than I would have. Edited August 9, 2021 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Also, if anything has been clear these past few years, is that Messi loved playing with Neymar and sees losing him as the one single misstep where everything started to unravel (and he's not completely wrong). If given a choice, he'll always go to PSG. The year we won the CL with them and Suárez upfront is some of the best football we've played since the peak Guardiola days.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Why does when they were founded really matter in this context? Of course if the Qataris had created a club to use a vehicle it's a different matter but the club is 50+ years old and was founded to try and get a major team in one of the greatest cities in the world, why does everything in football have to be tied to the 1800's or whatever.

Guest HTT II Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m glad I can say I’ve watched him play live, although he didn’t score he was still obviously head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Man City have Man United, Chelsea, and Liverpool bringing in the same level of players and playing at the same level year after year. Both clubs are cut from the same cloth, but they're not competing in anywhere near the same context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both awful clubs at current but City had traditional history that dates back over a century, that IMO means a bit more than founding a club because you're a group of rich blokes who spot a gap in the market.
