The quality of football suck? Man United, Livrerpool, Arsenal, Chelsea have played UCL finals many times in the past 10 years. Four different clubs.

Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez are EPL products ruling Laliga.

Since 2009 when United played Barca in UCL final, EPL had been on a downward thread.

For your info, 6 different clubs from La Liga have played a UEFA final in the last 10 years

Those 3 players you highlighted won PFA player of the year before switching clubs. Do I need to list uncountable names from La Liga who were almost nobody in the league, but have become superstars and even legends in your overrated league?

elampiro:
Suarez served suspension and became over weight when he resumed playing with the reserves. He was not fit for months even when he returned from suspension.

CR7 scored less than 20 goals before he left EPL. He went to Laliga and stated scoring 50 goals.

Hazard will score 30 in Laliga. He does too much for Chelsea and in the EPL, he gets weak even before he gets to Europe and national team. With time he will learn how to conserve himself for European games.

He scored a magnificient goal against Barca. He will find the laliga easy. A league where in most matches you are virtually on holiday.

Januzaj also scored a wonderful goal against Barca, so from your analogy, he will score 30 plus goals in La Liga right?

Ronaldo and Nistelrooy are the only ones I know who lit La Liga. But we all know why Ronaldo is scoring 50+ goals, don't we?

As for Hazard scoring 30 goals in La Liga, I LOL. Bale did better even @ a smaller club, but look @ him today. You guys should just upgrade your quality of football in your overrated EPL, and stop making Hazard look like a god.

If it weren't compectitive it wouldn't attract much followership. The football is beautiful to watch. It is entertaining. And football is about entertainment.

Nigeria league is dead because it's not entertaining.

Barca and Madrid wouldn't be as successful if they were to play in the EPL. Ask Falcao and Di Maria. After 5 matches, the players performance begins to diminish from strong games.

Falcao did not come straight from La Liga, but from France. Di Maria's case was complicated from onset, even before he wore the united shirt. However, many middle weight la liga products have become world class in the EPL because the league is inferior to La Liga.

What makes EPL great are Money and Media. The quality of football sulks, and the EPL champion won the league via the most boring tactics of all... "park the bus"

Remove Barca and Madrid, I present Atletico, Valencia and Sevilla and I dare say only 1 or 2 clubs in the whole EPL will manage to beat them. OH, lest I forget, Athletic Bilbao still has bragging rights over United.

Give respect to whom it's due.

La Liga > EPL

elampiro:
Your league is not interesting. Chikena. I tried to follow two years ago, boring boring. Suarez is already bored playing even in a more entertaining league than yours.

What is football /sports if it is not for entrrtainment? EPL is the most entertaining that is why everyone is watching it.

Hazard is one of the best footbalers in the world. Take it or leave it[b]. If he were in Spain he would score 25 plus goals and create dozens of Assist. Look the way he went past Barca 's defenders. Was that Diego Maradona? Something he has not been able to do against QPR or Norwich.
[/b]
DDG is arguably the best keeper in the world.

Suarez was in the EPL just yesterday. Di Maria is in the EPL.

Lemme get something straight, are you saying EPL is better than La Liga? Why has Hazard been a flop in Europe? You are using preseason to judge his quality against Barcelona?

If Hazard has this poor stats in any of the top La Liga clubs, he will be branded a failure. Look @ Bale and even Mandzukic. But in Chelsea, he's treated like a god.

If Hazard comes to Spain, I bet his stats will become poorer. Check out Suarez who bagged 31 goals in EPL, but couldn't manage up to 20 goals.

This is Man United thread, and I expect fans here to be more enlightened than most fans in OGOGORO thread.

That keeper is not as good as Bravo

elampiro:
The highlighted. How many clubs do these players play in?

I know you wouldnt mind watching Bayern play against ants and cockroaches week in week out.

The world gathers when Madrid plays Barca. After that, the party is over in Laliga.

Let these 2 clubs play in the EPL, and all EPL clubs will become as attractive as Scottish clubs. So tell us, what makes EPL more competitive than Naija league aside Money and Media noise?

SIRcumalot:
Suarez only offered his opinion based on the league he has played in.

Which UEFA is supervising the english league ?

The relationship between UEFA and the other league is largely autonomous,the UCL and the Europa is all they have in common if this was the European Cup now it will be a different tori.

What really is your point? Are you saying the ranking is not correct?

raumdeuter:
UEFA who controls all the leagues says the premier league is the 3rd best in Europe and if they repeat last seasons shameful performance with Italians doing well, the EPL might fall to 4th

Spanish league leads all the way. The gap in quality and recent success between La Liga and EPL is damn too wide.

airmark:
Then why did u initially say fernandinho was bought because yaya toure was not that good. Why he did nt bench yaya toure when he came? I don't think you know what they they call central midfielders. Swerve.

Toure came to man city as a DM initially. But when they saw his flaws that made him lose his position to a rookie in the form of Busquets, they bought Fernandinho to cover his azz and put him in CM.

Busquets will never be shifted forward or backward. He's the best DM in the world for the past 6 years.



I'm done with your silly argument

airmark:
Lol, I used that to deflate that your weak counter, meanwhile why your barca bought rakitic abi him too no dey play? One man-machine ko, one man okada ni

Rakitic came to replace Xavi. He is not a DM.

Oya tell me another lie.

airmark:
May be in la liga.

Tell us anyone in that your overrated epl who is better than him in his position?

airmark p405558: You are so ridiculous , if Sergio busquet was so good as DM why did they buy Alex song then? You guys lack football knowledge

Is Fernandinho not a regular starter at city alongside Toure to support him?

Was Alex Song a starter for Barcelona? How many times was he paired with Busquets?
Busquets is a one man machine. He doesn't need anyone to help him do his job, unlike Toure.

Mr man, shift for one corner abeg

Who in this planet rates Toure ahead of Busquets? Only in Chelsea's thread.

If Toure is so good as a DM, then why did Man City buy Fernandinho?

A player who has one of the lowest performances in Man city when playing in UCL.

Some people are here rating him above Busquets? A one man machine who covers the defense lapses of Xavi and Iniesta.

Toure... I mean Toure? It's like comparing copper with aluminium.

SailorXY:
that's why you're an infant, now return those lips to t!tties

Sweet Lord of heaven... Chaiiiiii

Vidal and Banky W. Are they twins from different mothers?

CFCfan:
Hazard skipped past 4 Barca players to score a wonderful solo goal!!

YAWNS...

If he likes, let him dribble past the whole bench including Lucho. The match is meaningless

airmark:
Diego costa scored 27 goals in la liga. But came to epl and made him feel the heat and slowed his roll, only to manage 20. Aguero has been playing in epl for how many years now bro? He has adapted well to the toughness of the defenders despite going off and on due to injuries in the past. You cant be chewing gum and scoring goals smiling week-in week-out like it obtains in la liga, in epl.
Suarez, nistelrooy, Ronaldo, suarez, bale all made mince-meat of poor defenders that abounds in the Spanish league immediately they left epl. Meanwhile I aint disputing the fact laliga has deadly offensive players, but good defenders are very scarce compared to epl. If not just of recent Barcelona used to cover their defensive flaws by their near-perfect offensive play. That speaks volume of how less-serious laliga teams take defensive play. Accept the fact.

Tell me how...

Chelsea... 20 goals in 26 games (not fully fit) equals 0.79 goal per game


Atletico... 27 goals in 35 games (fully fit) equals 0.76 goal per game


So tell us how those overrated EPL defenders made life difficult for him

It's no longer Hazard vs Neymar, it's now Hazard vs Ronaldo.

62 goals plus 16 assists is now considered inferior to Hazard's mediocre stats.

Maureenhoe should stop spewing trash. But sha oh, I no blame am. I blame that overrated EPL that couldn't continue his trend of failures that he brought from la liga.

Did I just hear that EPL defenders are the best? Were they able to stop a grade B player in Barcelona (Sanchez) from running wild on them?

chrisley024:
How did you give us a free agent player?

Which club did he play for before coming to ur club?

With an experienced goal keeper that has 3 ucl trophies (same number with man United), you guys still opted for Sergio Juilet.

You have just embrassed a ucl legend.

But we gave you Victor Valdes. Didn't we?

Man U fans are ungrateful. They bought Sergio Juilet

UniqueGem:
Are you saying you agree to the fact that Man utd kids are superior to your kids? Januzaj practically tore batra into shreds.

2010/2011 pre season friendly

Barcelona 0-1 Manchester city

Venue : Camp Nou

Man city beat us @ home in pre season friendly. By the end of the season, Barcelona won the league and UCL.

In addition, Man city has NEVER won or played draw against Barcelona in any competitive games.


No serious minded fans take pre season seriously. Man United won all their pre season matches last season, but lost scandalously against Swansea on the opening day of last season.

homesteady:
who is watching the match?

Honestly, I don't care about the outcome of the match.

dopeJemi:
Barca vs chelsea

It will be chelsea all the way for me, just like the last time

What your masters in the form of Bayern, Madrid, Atletico and PSG couldn't do, Chelsea shouldn't dream of it.

With ur current 1st 11 that includes a 35 year old as a CB, and a weak midfield plus a weak attack, Barcelona will bury Chelsea alive.

donjazet:
I strongly believe Chelsea can beat Barcelona. Their defence can thwart any attack anytime and any day. Its our philosophy, though we'll need a little bit of luck. If you consider some basic facts. We come on top. 1: mouhrinho is miles ahead of Luis in terms of EVERYTHING. 2. Chelsea's head to head with Barcelona on NEUTRAL terms. 3. WE ARE THE ONLY TEAM THAT CAN STOP DAT LITTLE DEMON[].

And that LITTLE DEMON couldn't score against man city, PSG and Juve, but we won them conveniently because we had game changers and great players in the form of Neymar and Suarez; unlike in 2012 when we had good players in the form of Pedro and Fabregas in attack who couldn't save us when the chips were down.

Mourinho may be ahead of Lucho, but I tell you that Barcelona has always been his greatest nightmare in European football. He may have won us in 2010, but each time we embarrassed him @ his home (2006 against Chelsea and 2011 against Madrid), we've went ahead to lift the UCL.

You wanna win Barca with a 35 year old Terry against the mighty force of MSN, and a weak midfield? God help you.

Like I said, the only teams that MAY stand a chance against us are the members of the HOLY TRINITY of European football.

SailorXY:
you won't defend the UCL, MSN or not. you can take that to the bank.

Only 1 team has won treble twice. That same team is set to defend it this season. If any team MANAGES to beat my team this season, it can't pass a member of the Holy trinity of European football.

raumdeuter:
Whether value for money dey or e no dey, Quality dey market or e no dey. League games and CL still has to be played and you must just find a way to compete. e.g If Mourinho no win, Roman no go hear story say na because value no dey. Same with other top clubs

Based on the First 11 penciled down at this point it looks bleak for anyone not named Barcelona to win the CL

Ibime, coogar A40 abi wetin you think say go happen in the next 6 weeks

Players I feel are a little shaky and might move Pogba Di Maria, Mata, Oscar, Gotze, Isco, Bale, Pedro, Griezman and Hazard and even if all these players go to just one club e no sure say dem fit beat Barca

bottom line of my long tory

HOW CAN WE STOP BARCA FROM ANOTHER TREBLE.

The bold just makes me smile.

Bar any injuries to my 1st 11 players especially MSN, I dare anyone in Europe bar Madrid to challenge my team this coming season.

slimghost:
Granted, Wazza is yet to fulfill his potential but some negative comments I read about him here are just plain stupid and appalling.

And when will he ever fulfill his potentials as he enters his 30s?

The guy is simply overrated.

lordfalcao:
yea maybe salah's transfer might get us a new winger, or the ones we get changes there mind set to games

After all the bayern team that won UCL 2013 wasn't that fearfull , they changed their mindset to games

i think am now seeing reason behind falcao transfer

A team whose poorest performance in Europe since 2010 is a semifinal place is not a fearful team? Nawa for some Chelsea fans ooh.

MysticZeus:
In the long run, we would suffer for it severely.

Tell Me Your Best 10 barca players since 2003.

The world has found out the secret of La Masia which is tiki taka Football. Tiki Taka is dead. La Masia needs a revolution of playing style. Our system now needs a direct approach in attack, and steel in midfield. That's why players like Pedro, Samper and the likes are struggling presently.

We will fare well with or without La Masia.

Nihilist:
La Masia is dead though...or dying.

Debroslink, peep this article.


http://www.theguardian.com/football/these-football-times/2015/jul/16/barcelona-la-masia-academy-decline-neymar-pedro

La Masia died the day Tiago was sold to Bayern, and Montoya couldn't bench Alves. But I still wanna believe that Barto has future plans for La Masia. If he wanna have a memorable 6 years reign, he dare not boycott La Masia. We need a true replacement for Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, etc.

MysticZeus:
Chai..

La Masia is going oo.........

Bartomeou did a ''Kano and Jigawa'' on that election oo

We will fare well with or without La Masia. We won the UCL before and after Laporta. Barto, ride on.

bandely:
Well, since Barca fans see all positives in Barto, wetin con be our own?
Enjoy your president, hope he will come good, but in favour, we pray he comes bad!

Which kain bad prayer be dis this Sunday morning?
Just manage to get to @ least semi-final of the UCL before making such prayers.
