He has managed at a high level now for 6 years he just isnt very good at it He's doing a pretty decent job at Barca for a not very good manager.

His only previous managerial experience was 1 season getting relegated in the lower leagues. Assuming you're not Jurgen Klinsmann, it's hard to fail at Barca or Bayern. @Zatman Why is Emery the biggest bottler in football? Seemed to do very well at Sevilla.

PaulC Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I prefer them to Real Madrid. Always have done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just seen the highlights. Great comeback, but a bit like Istanbul, the ref played a massive part. But I'm not sure anyone is surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps football just bottles it against him. Perhaps it's because it's not his team. Perhaps there's always a reason Edited March 9, 2017 by bobzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref played a part, just as the ref did when Barca got knocked out by Mourinho's Inter, however the decisive goal, in the 95th minute, is all about a great pass and run.

I'm not going to get in to a debate over that game, but the Motta red card was a criminal decision and justice was done. The winning goal was very good but it has to be said, the defending and goalkeeping over these two legs were something to be ashamed of. So many goals and there really should've been more. That PSG keeper looks absolutely awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Barcelona are a horrible football club who like to pretend they play a beautiful game and anybody trying to defend against them are ruining the spirit of the game. Yet they have scum like Suarez, Busquets, Alba jumping around the pitch like they are Tom Daley, not to mention their collection of tax cheats Real Madrid arent any better BUT they dont try to pretend they are something they are not which i can at least respect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Camp Nou is amazing though. One of those sporting arenas that just take your breath away when you walk into it for the first time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Disagree, I thought it was old, tired, dirty and full of tourists (I understand that irony) much like old Trafford I thought it's wow factor lay in the fact that it was **** huge rather than being a great stadium (I'd probably throw Wembley in to that mix too) i do know some people that have been in to some posh bits of it that looked incredible but that wasn't what I experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I understand where you're coming from on all points....area I was in had pretty much all English voices around and was the same in the concourse at half time. Yeah I didn't mean it was an ultra modern stadium like the Emirates or Wembley but just the sheer scale of it took my breath away. Been to the New Wembley and the Bernabeu but the Camp Nou was something else. Would imagine the San Siro would probably be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't think wherever I go that the San Siro will be topped though. Most of the big stadia in Spain/South America are just all incredibly samey looking, a bit like all the bowl stadia here. Very few places with any kind of character these days, it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've never really had any great affection for Barca either. Watched the highlights last night. Neymar's rolling around for the first penalty was comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different opinions keeps things interesting for sure but I found visiting the stadium overwhelmingly amazing. Sure, the stadium itself may be fairly basic in structure but it's breathtakingly large and to have a view across the city rooftops one side and the mountains on the other, with the sun setting, man, it was easily the greatest 90 minutes I've ever experienced in a football stadium. Aside from when Villa beat Wimbledon 1-0 many moons ago and I'd taken my great-grandfather to VP for his first visit in about 30 years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
