Sure bruh we going 4 d treble again

Btw who do u think will end up as our highest scorer this season?

dmcdad:
Did Suarez not get a better offer than Barca's?

Did Neymar not get a better offer than that of Barca?

Since Messi rose to the opium of football echelons has he not gotten far better and outrageous offers than what Barca offers him presently?

Are you telling me if Enrique gets an offer doubling his current earnings he would leave?

The aforementioned questions would tell you something about passion and loyalty. Simeone happens to be a club legend, both as a player and now as a coach. You actually think it would be easy to prise him off because money is flying around?

Ask yourself, how many trophies did those high stats fetch G. Krychiowak last season.. He had only The Europa for all his efforts. We both know how it ended for S. Busquets and his elite team.

The thing with people like you and what you see against S. Busquets' game is that, you still retain that Brutish, reckless, 'knack-am-down' picture of DMs such as G. Gatusso, C. Makelele's mould et al. Those were greats of the old order. The game has since changed. Look at J.O Mikel; how many tackles does he make in every other game, yet he bosses the midfield. Or even someone like T. Kroos... Bieng a DM goes beyond stiffling the opposition, hacking down players and generally known for rough play; S. Busquets has redefined that role. A DM should be decent, intelligent and a key partaker in moving the ball around. In the near future, the role will be likened to an alternate CM, and S. Busquets would be the reference point.

Why do you see P. Guardiola use soft but intelligent players like P. Lahm in the midddle as a holder of the ball? Even T. Alcantara has played in that position.

Luis Suárez praises 'complete' victory

FC Barcelona couldn’t have done it any better,
beating Valencia 7–0 in the first leg of the Copa del
Rey semi-finals at Camp Nou. The star of the night
was Luis Suárez, author of four goals on the night —
giving him a total of 33 goals in the 36 games he has
played.
"It was one of the most complete games this season.
Everything worked for us," he said after the game.

Suárez acknowledged that the team had not been
playing well early in games as of late, but that
Wednesday was different.

But despite the staggering goal total, Suárez warned
that anything could happen in football.

"It is a rather large advantage but you never know
what might happen. That's football,” he said.

And while Suárez continues to have a spectacular
season, for him, the most important thing is to help
the team win titles. " I just want to help the team,”
he said.

Aleix Vidal and Sergio Busquets also spoke to the
media. Here are the highlights of what they had to
say:


Aleix Vidal

"Sometimes you feel sorry for your opponent, but
we are professionals and we wanted as many goals as
possible. We always look for the best result and we
go for broke."
"It is very difficult for Valencia to turn around the tie
but we can not go into there thinking that everything
is done, it would be a mistake."
"Messi and Luis Suárez amaze us every day. I’ve been
able to enjoy them — and Neymar too — every day
since the day I arrived."


Sergio Busquets

"We played a very good first half. We came off games
where we didn’t start off well but that did not happen
tonight. I think overall we played a very good game."
"When the result is in your favour, everything goes
much better. Everything went our way."

No fear... na my padi she be.

dmcdad:
Of course no doubt. But then, you have to consider the fact that things are going great for them with Simeone at the helm of affairs.

It doesn't seem likely that he will leave anytime soon. Of course anything can happen, but it would be very difficult albeit not impossible.

Take into further consideration their transfer ban and you will discover that it would be almost impossible for him to leave anytime soon.

dmcdad:
And also they always pretend they don't give a heck.

dmcdad:
Simeone + Atletico = A match made in heaven.

It will be hard to separate both, especially at this juncture.

chrisley024:

From daily mail:
2004-05 - two points clear before the defeat at Old Trafford that ended their unbeaten run in October. By January they were 10 points behind Chelsea. Finished second.

2005-06 - Never really in the title race - three wins in a row to end the season saw them pip Spurs to fourth place on the final day.

2006-07 - Never in the title race - by the time they went on a seven-game unbeaten run to end the season, they were already 22 points off the pace - it did ensure them a Champions League place though.

2007-08 - A win over Birmingham would have kept Arsenal top of the league in January, but Eduardo's leg-break, William Gallas' temper, and the late penalty are all the stuff of legend. By the time they lost to Chelsea two months later they were six points off the pace, while defeat at Old Trafford in April made it nine. Finishing with four wins in a row meant the final gap was only four points, but the title was well out of reach.

2008-09 - In January Arsenal were within touching distance of the leaders but three consecutive draws against Everton, West Ham and Tottenham saw them fall too far off the pace, and they were never in the race again that season.

2009-10 - Top of the league on March 20, Arsenal drew with Birmingham and Man City and lost to Spurs, Wigan and Blackburn in their next six fixtures. By May they were 11 points off the pace.

2010-11 - Before their Carling Cup final defeat by Birmingham, Arsenal were a point off the top. They won just two of thier last 11 league games and eventually finished fourth.

2011-12 - Out of the title race before they'd ever really been in it and were 10 points behind Tottenham in February before a startling run saw them overtake their rivals and hold on until the final day, denying them Champions League football.

2012-13 - Already 15 points off the pace by the start of December, Arsenal were seven points behind Tottenham, and in fifth, when they lost the north London derby in early March. But eight wins and two draws in their last 10 games saw them get Champions League football, yet again, by a point over their rivals.

2013-14 - Arsenal topped the league almost constantly throughout the first half of the season, by as many as seven points at the end of November. Even after conceding six goals at Manchester City in December they ended the year on top. They were top going into the game at Anfield that saw them destroyed 5-1, but by the time Chelsea hammered them 6-0 a month later they were seven points off the pace. They finished the season with five straight wins, but by then the title was a three-way fight between Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City.

2014-15 - Chelsea had run away from Arsenal by Christmas, and while the Gunners had an excellent second half of the season - winning 13 of their 19 games to finish third, it was never going to be enough.


Note how we always seem to find a way to rally round when fighting for fourphy but always seem to struggle when it comes to maintaining top spot?

edoyad:
But friend I won't be happy if you get relegated o. It won't be fun mocking a championship side . Please try and stay up

fredoooooo:
Black vs white , and you guys still think there's justice

dmcdad:
No need I guess. There is absolutely no need pitting any of the best triumvirate against eachother in any sort of comparison or form of argument. We are Barca fans. Let's enjoy what we have and savour the legendary status these guys make our lovely club cement.

Any attempt to undermine one for another wouldn't make sense.
