Watching him particularly in 14/15 was something else. One of the very reasons I didn't stop watching football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him particularly in 14/15 was something else. Not really his fault, but I see Messi becoming the player he did, as the end of Barcelona being the likeable club they were. I preferred Barcelona in the years leading up to that (Rivaldo, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Kluivert, Saviola, peak Puyol, etc). There was something mystical about Barcelona with their stadium, 'Mes que un club', the sponsorless shirts, etc. Messi seemed to herald in this monster they've turned into. Again, not his fault, but it was the end of Barcelona being enjoyable for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the sponsor-less shirts made them feel like what they kind of view themselves as; a Catalan national club side in all but name. They’re just another big club these days.

Rafalove Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 When you think the chronicle couldn’t possibly get any worse it somehow manages too. Literally unreadable, with all the adds and pop ups. Reading a sentence, then it redirects me to another part of the article. A completely unsustainable business model. They might aswell just admit they’re finished.

Stifler Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) The American major networks are merging their sports channels together into 1 streaming package. Meanwhile here in the U.K., we can’t see a 3pm KO, The FA are selling the FA Cup rights to TNT Sports, taking it off free to air TV, and Sky pay the Scottish league less than what the Dutch league get.
