Cules, which club are you supporting tonight?

A part of me wants Athletico to win the UCL for their heroics over the years and their doggedness in dumping us out.
Another part wants Bayern to win the UCL for the sake of our darling legend, Pep.

Now that they have to cancel each other out, I just have to relax and wish the better club wins.
Hopefully, Bayern would be the better side!
Are you confused or something? The above doesn't make sense when you have a clear choice as stated but it seems you're finding it difficult to admit.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by GBR1(m): 10:45pm On Apr 25, 2016
You shouldn't take every ranking so serious. The same Lloris who just conceded a silly goal due to his error almost simultaneously costing Spurs the title. The same Lloris that couldn't even make it to the team of the year in his own league even with those clean sheets. Athletico's keeper Oblak has more clean sheets and conceded less goals than Navas, Madrid's shot stopper. Can one say he's been better than Navas this season?

There's really no debate here.

The odds don't feature on the pitch
I really hope you're right and it goes our way. it's shameful if we fail to make top 4 not because City and Arsenal failed to drop points but because we couldn't win our matches and take advantage. Besides missing CL twice in 3 years is a very poor record and we should do everything possible to avoid it.

He is yarning dust. So he trimmed the squad and spent about 250mil on the players he never wanted. Goodbye to him!

Btw, there are rumours Jose will be announced in the next few weeks.
We still have the FA cup to play for, and 3 games which could get us top 4. Now I hope he doesn't lose the squad with these statements. He's just an arrogant bastard who should have been shown the door a long time ago.

Our future is to a large extent In our hands.
We win our remaining matches and only a draw between city and gayners will keep us out.
The odds aren't so bad (if we win all our remaining matches that is)
Surely it's inevitable that City/Arsenal will drop points considering they face each other. The problem is we're gonna drop points too. I don't see us winning all our remaining matches. That's the story of our season so far.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by GBR1(m): 11:52pm On Apr 24, 2016
The win against Everton was good but please let's not get carried away though we shouldn't be exactly pessimistic either. LVG doesn't fool me one bit. I remember clearly enough the expectations before the season begun and/or our plans we established at the time he got appointed. He barely scraped top 4 in his first year and while that was a major objective that season to be fair to him, finishing 4th was regarded good because of the shambles of a season we had previously when we missed CL spots and we were far from competing from the title. LVG actually planned to win the league by 2nd year, and challenge for the CL in his 3rd/final year. We failed to compete for the title this year (his 2nd year) and making top 4 seems very uncertain so we might not even be in CL talk more of challenging for it. This is failure, and attempts at revisionism are shameful at best. LVG has mastered the act of making United fans lower their expectations every now and then and making us think poorly. Some even say he should stay because he plays young players. Do you think LVG would not give up playing even a single youth player if he got offered the 1st position on the table?
Sincerely, there are too many things to complain and i could go on and on, but what i'm trying to say now is simple; Finishing 4th and even winning the FA cup should not be enough for LVG to keep his job. He must be moved on from and this summer, i believe his replacement is already in waiting. Now let's just support him, and hope we can end the season in the best means possible.

Mister Man this is just common sense naa undecided undecided
3 Midfielders were the heart of a playing style that dominated the world, Isn't it logical for them to be called the Holy trinity?
BTW can't you even google it?
You are the one trying to make this more complicated than necessary. I'm saying to you that the holy trinity of Barcelona pre MSN was comprised of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi (note Busquets is excluded) and it was rarely used to describe the midfield trio of Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets. I get it if it's just your opinion based on common sense but i know the results that would turn up if i google Barcelona's holy trinity (with the exception of MSN), and those results would place what I've said over your opinion.

I think highly of myself when I compare myself to you. I have seen you post and its obvious you know very little. I know people on this forum who have comparable to superior knowledge of the game c0ogar was one, 1bime is another, afr0doc is also one and very few after that and I can say with all confidence you dont even come close or scratch the surface. In anything relating to football I would bludgeon you to death with superior facts and Logic. thats a given
Keep on making claims like this. You only reinforcing what i know about you already.

I got you on that like every single time you have tried to spar with me and I tell you to go develop your football muscles first before you even try, Develop your football knowledge. But like the typical upstart, you read something rush out to show yourself and end up getting a bloody nose every time.

You know better than go on, Do you also know better than edit post after you've been found out?
I don't care what you know or what knowledge you claim to possess but i know of your reputation enough to see how you shape shift, twist facts and tells lies to make an argument and you don't even seemed bothered about these terrible acts. While i'm not perfect and keep on trying to improve, i know i won't like to end up like you.

This is the major problem i have with you. You think too highly of yourself to ever admitting anything even when you are wrong. I have owned you more times than not in most arguments we've had and this a fact.
That is how you bump into whats above your IQ level and end up getting disgraced every single time. For the past 4 days we have been waiting for you to tell us how you came about a 1.1 rate you posted on the Chelsea thread but you fled as usual when you have been sodomized with superior facts and logic

Before PSG bought Kevin Trapp how many of you here knew him?

How many knew Ter stergen before Barcelona bought him?

Tomorrow another club would buy another German keeper you would still come here and say they have taken all the keepers from Germany

If I tell you there are at least 5 keepers still in the Bundesliga better than Terstergen and Trapp

If I tell you Fahrrman, Sommer, Timo Horn, Adler, Hitz and even Karius are better than 90% of all EPL keepers
You are not discussing with the majority here and you are not privy to what i know or have known and the rest of the above is your bullshит opinion. Who has rated those bundesliga keepers over 90% of EPL keepers?
I have made my point and you have done so little to go against it.

1. Follow the logic would you, Someone is showing us a PFA team as evidence that DDG shits on Neuer, Do you detect any logical faux pas there?

2. Neuer hasnt only been dominating in Germany, He has been dominating in Europe and the whole world(which includes DDG and his EPL competition plus many more). He is unanimously the best keeper in the world for the past 2yrs plus with no one coming remotely close. So whatever the competition is, he flogs them.

3. While keepers have been leaving Germany they have still been breeding newer ones. and they have historically had better keepers than the EPL and England. Cech and Cortouis even had several time out due to injury which might have affected their rating this year

The only place DDG has been able to win was in England where he can beat Butland, Hennesey and Forster
I'm not in support of that logic the poster you quoted used earlier. I was against you saying De gea has poor competition in the EPL when it's obvious Neuer doesn't have that much better in the Bundesliga. This takes nothing from Neuer though, but while i agree he's still the best based on his already established performances, i watch enough of Bayern matches to know he hasn't been as good as De gea based on this season alone. You might however not agree but it's fair enough.

Germany has almost always had better keepers than England. There's no debate here but the debate regards the keepers in the bundesliga is a different thing. Maybe if Trapp, Ter stegen and others hadn't left they could have been better competition to Neuer compared to the keepers currently in German league. BTW, de gea has made just one more appearance than Cech this season so that your point is false too.

De gea is on that team simply because he has been the best keeper in the league, not because of his contemporaries' injury or less competition.

Cech has been good and injured for a bit. Yeah Hart how much different is he from Butland and co?
Strange you are on about De gea's competition in the EPL. I know Germany has been producing some extremely good/talented keepers in recent years but the best of them have been leaving the league with the exception of Neuer at Bayern, so i don't really know how Neuer's competition is better than De Gea when there are good keepers like Cech, Courtois currently plying their trade in the EPL. BTW, don't see this as Germany vs England.

Barcelona had arguably the best midfield in the world! The best in this era, which is not arguable! It was made up of Iniesta-Busquets-Xavi; The 'holy trinity' as they were nicknamed!

According to Ibime - Iniesta was a carry along, in movies they are called Waka pass!
According to Airmark - Busquets is useless!

It begs the question of whether it was only Xavi that made the midfield great? Ibime and Airmark?
The holy trinity has been used to describe a lot of things even in football especially the forwards making up a team's triumvirate (most popular being United's trinity which included Best, Law and Charlton) but i'm not exactly sure it was used to describe Barcelona's midfield trio of Iniesta-Busquets-Xavi and it seems you are making this up. Your current forwards comprising of Neymar-Suarez-Messi are more of one actually.

It was only Piqué that knew the "well kept secret" that you have to score to win a match!
He knew that Them MSN were not ready to score, so he was necessarily going forward to help, leaving our defense threadbare! And some unrepentant idìots want Busquets to become Mr Omnipresent by stopping all counterattacks!
I think it has more to do with what Pique has been doing off the pitch. He really needs his team to win, maybe even more than any individual in the Barcelona's team. He went too far trolling Madrid on social media regards Barcelona's success relative to Madrid troubles and now it seems the tables are being turned or been turned and it's gonna get really hot/ugly for him, more so than it is already. I have always had a soft spot for Gerard respecting his limited time at United and considering he has always ever spoken good things about us but this time it's difficult to defend him and he only has himself to blame.

When was the last time an EPL player made Balon d or top 5? DId Dortmund not send Tottenham packing some weeks ago from the same Europa?
A German player or even a player who plied his trade in the Bundesliga has not won the Ballon d'or in over 18 years. You used a poor analogy.

Dortmund basically played a Spurs' B team (i have proof) because Tottenham rested a lot of their major players and didn't take much interest in the fixtures because they were still competing for the EPL title, and i think the results could have been different if spurs didn't do so considering the way Liverpool handled Dortmund. Dortmund got exposed when they faced Liverpool placed 8th in the PL and who can't even get into top 4.

Now here's the fun part; Do you even know how many players Dortmund rested in their important league fixture against Schalke simply because they wanted to beat Liverpool in the 2nd leg?

They failed miserably. grin grin
