La Liga Megathread

Typical from the so-called moral setters of football

 

I * hate Jordi Alba.

 

What do you mean, moral setters of football?

 

It's something that people who like to criticise Barca say that people call them because people praise the majority of their players attitude.

 

I see.

 

Their fanboys are constantly going on about the way Barca play football is the way football should be played.
Hence that includes everything they do on a football pitch not just the way they pass the ball about.

 

Except for Busquets and Alba and Thiago, and I recall a lot of people calling Neymar "a wee *" etc before he joined. Not heard so much of that since he joined them, oddly.

 

What do you mean, their fanboys?

 

The ones who since 2003 have become Barca obsessed.
I know plenty of these people, who funny enough if Barca stop being a top top team will no doubht go and support the next cool club.

 

I wasn't aware that was the majority of their sqaud. You're also deluded if you don't think Alves, Busquet's, Sanchez and Alba don't get slated for it. Neymar will as well if he doesn't cut it out but I've not seen him do it in a Barca strip yet.

In general there players are a fantastic example of how to play football, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Pique, Pedro etc all approach the game in the right way.

 

You mean that you're shocked that football fans the world over are interested in and admire possibly the greatest team to ever play the game?

I'm a Malaga fan and even I can appreciate the way Barca play.

 

Why just 2003 anyway? Barcelona have played excellent football for a lot longer than that.

When I was growing up I absolutely loved Rivaldo, Stoichkov, Luis Enrique, Ronaldo etc etc.

They've always been a team to admire.

 

Barca have always played great football. Just the emergence of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi set them a level apart.

 

Pretty sure people loved Barca before 2003 :smiley-laughing002:

A majority of Barca players a fine examples of a pro footballer.

Every knows the likes of Pedro and a couple of others are really bad for play acting even the "fanboys"

 

Atletico should have beat them last night, they played really well. Barca were playing like us, too much arsing about with the ball, not enough going for the throat.

 

Aye, going further back to the Cruyff's and Maradonna's.

Mental.

 

Romario
Koeman
Stoichkov
Kluivert
Ronaldo
Figo

the list goes on.

 

I think I could still recite the Barca team I remember from years ago

???????
Reizeger Nadal ?????? De Boer
Guardiola Cocu
??????? Rivaldo L.Enrique
Kluivert

Stuck now though. Think these were the players from around 1998-2001.
​

 

Figo, too.

 

I appercite and admire the way they play football as well.
Any football fan generally does.
What annoys me is the ones that have latched onto Barca that its the one and only club they support, alot of these people supported clubs other before Barca started dominating, and no doubtht will move to the next dominant club whoever that is in a few years i.e: Fanboys.
