sne Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just now, VillaChris said: Been plenty of brilliant football aswell. It always is. But I watched something like 40-50 (I'm guessing) El Clasico's (counting cup games) during the 90's and up until a few seasons ago and eventually I got fed up. Sometime around 2008 or so it started to become farcical because every single effing game turned into chaos and it's only gotten worse with time.

bobzy Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It feels somewhat wrong that this Real Madrid side could go down in history as having won the CL 3 seasons in a row - they're just nowhere near the level that that accolade should command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Referee's don't get worse than Spanish ones, never was a red card, utterly blatant foul on Varane for Messi's goal and then missed one of the more blatant penalties you will ever see.

bobzy Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Didn't realise Real Madrid had refused to give Barcelona a guard of honour too Literally the most word removed team on the planet. I'm amazed people want them to beat Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed people want them to beat Liverpool. They are a bunch of words removed. Unquestionably. I would be delighted if they and their spoilt, entitled fans never win anything ever again. What they have in their favour as far as I’m concerned, is there are no Real Madrid fans that live near me that pop up when their team gets to the latter stages of a tournament. Liverpool do.

They have the will to win and never say die spirit Man. United always had under Fergie. Juventus are very similar aswell (probably the most similar modern side to those United teams). I personally think Barca going unbeaten would feel more strange. Aside from Messi being in GOD mode for most of the year this season is nowhere on level on the Pep sides from 6-7 years ago and their CL performance reflected it.

The difference is that those sides were dominant domestically - this Madrid team is nowhere near that. For a team to win 3 CL trophies in a row, you’d expect (and, for me, want) them to be an incredible team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near the same level of club, at all. Sergio Ramos is the king word removed of footballers. Liverpool have no-one even in the same universe of word removed as him. I think Birmingham must have these legions of terrible Liverpool fans. I just haven’t experienced this self-entitlement at all. Nowhere near Man Utd/Man City/Chelsea levels. Not even close!

Nowhere near Man Utd/Man City/Chelsea levels. Not even close! Not right now, but they've had many of horrific words removed even in their recent past, like Luis Suarez, one of the biggest scumbags in the game. Liverpool fans in Liverpool have an hilarious victim mentality and in other parts of the country (especially Birmingham and London) they are horrifically self entitled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Liverpool FC a club that stood up for a racist. Says all you need to know about them. Also bullied locals out of there houses to increase Anfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
