Jeremy Mathieu's night vs. Man City:

39': Subbed on
50': Wins his only tackle
71': Yellow card
74': Red card

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Squawka)

Arsenal please come and buy..

dmcdad:

Those ones plenty 4 there well.

Igboid:
Lol! I'd like to see how you are going to attract Ozil to a monotonous league. Whatever money you can afford him, Arsenal can and will, and will sure tie him down and frustrate your advances.

Those money you use to throw around those days to lure players away from their cash starved EPL clubs won't do the trick anymore now.

Take a look around you. All the best coaches in the modern game are all currently in EPL, it's the cash trail they are all following, the players will do same, and together, they will all deliver.

raumdeuter:


Ozil was a Madrid reject, Just like Sanchez was rejected from Barca If Barcan tell either of them to come back today they will leave Arsenal training withot saying goodbye

ManU was richer than Madrid yet Ronaldo their best player in ages longed to play for Madrid

Igboid:


Football is contact sports. One nasty injury and your career is over, ask Marco Van Basten how far.

Players knows these. Madrid went through a trophy drought between 2003- 2011, winnin few la liga trophies, yet was attracting the best footballers in the world.

You would be stupid to think it's because of the Trophies they won mainly in 50s and 60s.
It was because of the money they had to spend on those players. First they use big money to lure clubs into selling and second, they lure the players with ridiculous pay rise. Those players weren't rushing to Madrid because of past glories they had as of then, it was the financial reward.

This would explain why the second most successful and glamorous European club in history, AC Milan, is currently not attracting top stars. Agueros and Pogbas of this world chose EPL over AC Milan that would gladly welcome them now.

You know why? AC Milan is broke, even Zlatan and Thiago Silva left them for PSG. Nig.gas ain't loyal, it's all about the Benjamins.
The talk of players tripping for Madrid and Barca because of prestige is BS. It was money all those while. History puts no food on anyone's table.

philfearon:

Your talk is true to atleast 20%.
Let me give you instances when money failed, but club class and prestige and loyalty took over:
Do you know at a point Abrahamovic and Manchester City owners offered Messi blank cheque?
Again, when Messi signed his contract extension that increased his buy out clause to €250m,Nike offered to Support Both Chelsea and Bayern Munich buy Messi, by paying half his transfer fee that totalled almost €500m if you include other variables?
Do you know Fabregas had to force through his transfer, and even took a transfer cut just to Barca?
Well you probably are familiar with the Ronaldo case.
What of Bale? Do you know how many times Manchester United came for him as they looked to replace Ronaldo, but did he go?
Arda Turan had to wait out six months of his playing career on the side line just to play for Barca.
What of the Neymar case? Do you know he rejected Madrid even when Madrid offered to pay almost double more than Barca paid?
Do you also know that Neymar rejected a bumper €222m from PSG this season to still remain at Barca?
Should I go on?

Guys. Why don't we do something fun..


Let's all answer..

When and why did you start supporting Barça?

Your best moment in Barça history.

Your favorite coach.

Your best Barcelona player.

What number of Jersey you would like to wear if you were a Barça player.

If there's anything else you can add..



Here goes mine. .

It was year 2000, still very little then, I just can back from school, wanted to watch cartoons, and I saw rivaldo dribbling on the TV, that moment, I had a rhema and loved rivaldo.. Fast forward to 2003, after my grandad's burial at the village, my dad was installing a new dish and they decided to try out a few stations, they left it on a station where they were showing Barça history, the football was out of this world, I understood the team was Barça and I picked more interest in it.. Later in 2006, I had just come back from school too and Barça TV had swapped for star movies on our ctl cable something.. So I decided to watch a little, that was the first time I saw what maradona, rivaldo, ronaldinho and some other Barça players were capable of... But it was maradona and ronaldinho, these two people showed me something I never dreamed was possible..I marveled at such brilliance and beauty.. Started following up, and here I am..


Beat moment in Barça history.. That beautiful David villa goal in the Champions League final.. 2011.. I ran outside and feel on concrete.. Still got the scar till this day..



Favorite coach.. Pep, has got to be pep.. Frank is there but pep is class for me..


Favorite player.. The god himself.. Messi..


Jersey number.. 14 suits me...



This isn't an original idea though... If you're interested, you could just drop yours..


For the love of Barcelona.. For the love of the game.

Visca El Barça..

My best Barca Moment : There are a lot of great moments I have had while watching Barca play, but this one was the Greatest of them all.
It was in 2009,at Stamford Bridge. I was reeling from the fact it was turning out to be old Trafford(2008) all over again. I almost wept. The whole Chelsea people in my street were taunting me, I felt so terrible that at the 88th minute, I told myself it's over. Immediately I left where I was watching the match, and entered my house, I heard a great goal shout. I thought Chelsea has scored again. My heart almost broke. Immediately, my friend rushed to our house and started shouting like a madman.
I don't I think have ever had such surge of joy in my life. My own madness surpassed his, I ran out and started shouting up and down our street barebodied . I came back to our house, wore my full Barca attire and headed straight to The main road. O boy! Come see other barca fans madness na!
I have to add though that my celebration for when we won Manchester United at the final was great, but that Iniesta moment against Chelsea is it!
