Really? Why not stop and think about the Barcelona performance, because against us of all the games we played it was by far their worst.
It was embarrassing to be turned over so easily by a side not at the top of their game and all the fucking excuses and pathetic slurs on fans intellect will not change that.

They were worried about us from the start and that showed in their play. They only stepped it up when we were down to 10 men (for the 4th of 5 games) with that little shithouse Neymar doing his little trick immediately after the 'keeper got sent off. We'll see what happens in the return leg but I for one won't be backing against us.


I wont back against us either, but we will need to (and can) do better, much better, retain the ball better, take our chances when they come, and cut out the simple silly mistakes. That along with the fact that we played with no striker, is what was so annoying about last night. Barca didn't play well and definitely early stages they were there for the taking if we had out act together. But we didn't.


Part of the reason why Barca didn't play so well is the way Pep set us up to play. Extra man in midfield and high pressing so i think it's crap to say they didn't play well so we should have beaten them.

Of course our ball retention could have been better but Batca also press well and iy's not always easy but we did create plenty of good situations and iy's that final third wher we need to improve most to get the goals our play deserves.

Quite simply, the system worked until Bravo had a brain-fart. After that you really can't judge.

We now have to beat them by at least 4 at home to possibly win the group otherwise we'll be up against some very strong sides.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

because too many on here are too thick to face the truth.


What is the truth exactly?

Because you're piping up more than any other time since you joined the site, which is strange because we're starting to build something very exciting and you're whinging constantly.

Go and see a fucking doctor so you can go back to posting lame one liners and slagging carl like before.

This new thing you're trying isn't working, whether it's wind up or not.


the truth is that we are massively underperforming with the players we have at our disposal. talent isn't the issue, it's a mindset / application thing.

things that really piss me off are the off field things like those ridiculous matching dsquared travel outfits, players being used to make unfunny content for the website, kdb wasting time trying to make himself the belgian beckham etc, etc

just fucking concentrate on doing a proper job on the fucking pitch.

There's no lack of application tickle. Just before the Bravo sending off the stats flashed up shots 5/2 for Barca 8/4 for us, that's at the Nou Camp.

At the end of the game we had 46% possession despite being a man short for part of the game, that's at the Nou Camp.

As for the trivial things that are winding you up, it sounds to me that you need to get laid.

You expected a 4-0 did you? Did you also foresee the sending off that would lead to that happening? Once again Phips, you're talking through your arse.

What conspiracy theory?

You're obviously trying to become relevant on this site or something, but it's starting to look like Lookmum stole your account.

If life has recently thrown you a shit ball, then I hope things change for the better, but it doesn't mean you have to post negative shit in every thread, especially when it's based on a concern that the club is trying to turn Kevin De Bruyne into David Beckham.

It's fucking weird.

Some of the mistakes won't disappear until we change the personnel. I'm looking at this from the perspective of where we're looking to be in 3 or 4 years and we'll be a damn sight better tuned in by then than we were last night.

The 4-0 blow was so not expected. It seems like EPL clubs are never going to win in Europe now. All other big European teams defeat an English club every now and then. The flaws in tactics and then the League fatigue all these factors do matter. Sharing a good read on all the flaws EPL clubs have portrayed in Europe since Chelsea's last win in 2012, read it and share your views;

Flaws? A lack of decent studs and a brain fart, analysis done.

i watched that match, and it was yet another egregious example of biased officiating and outright corruption. valencia were denied 3 stonewall penalties and had a goal wrongly chalked off. busquets should have seen a second yellow for a deliberate trip to stop a break away. and to top it off the ref just couldn't WAIT to point to the spot allowing barca to win at the death. sickening in the extreme. i dont blame the fans at all for throwing missiles at the cheating wankers.

Just saw the highlights on that, but the bottle moments is pure ... don't have a word for that.

Just look at Suarez, Mascherano and Busquets dive, then the reaction of the "model" Messi.
