Football Club -- Part Deux

@Govind tiwari

Agree with most of what you said but I think we can safely close down La Liga

It seems ronaldo and messi will score more than 50+ goals in la liga alone..they are making a mockery of the other leagues:drinking:

PS- Please dont use caps lock its an eyesore 😞

The true indication of the leagues will be for judgment when the champions League starts. Eagerly waiting to see the Barcelona vs Arsenal match.

As for Ronaldo , he seems to be inspired more by Messi rather than anyone else. Everytime Messi overtakes him in golden shoe race, he finds the net more quickly.
All good/bad things come to an end eventually ( Good or bad is open to interpretation )

BTW Chelsea and ManU are now separated by one point

lol....loved your confidence but seriously it is very diffcult for chelsea to win title even if they manage to do double over united which is next to impoosible considering thier current form:cheerio:
PERFECTLY SENSIBLE!! Wowwww

Hahaa! Trust me, I don't believe in all that 'ethics' and moral-standards stuff... I dont buy that at all, hence would refrain from commenting on your sorrow, i.e. people calling "names".

And to be clear, that is not the reason for my groan, in case you are being 'happy' for being a moral fella!!!!


"Oppurtunist", you see is a word which needs a base, like most personal comments. And that nishantvdo isnt a regular here, is just your blatant assumption. Passive, yes. Well, thats a different case. You can confirm this, if you turn back the pages and see the Groans/Thanks :thumbsup: Infact, he posted something about this match a few days before the Sunday game!!!!:drinking:

Plus, Nishant claiming chelsea fans to be oppurtunists, is a debate.. atleast for them Chelsea fans!!! And most puys would not want to be reading all that attack on this thread.:lookround:
Hence don't worry, I will not bring this up!:cheerio:

And trust me, you should not live with the notion that this was meant for you and you alone ... Celebrity stuff, eh?


thanks for affirming my opinion that this thread is now filled with scums like you. Disgusting, rotten and plain pathetic. PASSIVE MY FOOT. Bunch of hypocrites, who don't even know what they are typing. Enjoy your mudslinging.

I doubt if any such deal would ever materialize....
These are speculations

Boss...These days speculations are turning into reality more frequently than a dictionary meaning of the word "speculation" would suggest

As they say.. Impossible is Nothing
Manchester City cannot be ignored buddy. I am sure at the end of the season they will be in the Top 4 and if they manage to get a good run of matches, they might even challenge for the premiership title and they have very good squad at their disposal.
this season has been a strange one. no one is sure where he will end up.
much like the cat and Xat papers
:thumbsup::cheerio:


Yeah dude...it's more of a hope than a prediction. :oops:
Carlitos has been firing this season and so has the team.But given a choice, would rather like to see spurs in 4th than city.

PS - my first post in this beautiful game-thread...!!!
Am a Real Madrid fan


Welcome to this thread Good to see a folks like you

Otherwise this thread is mostly dominated by fans of EPL teams :-P


A real fan who likes barca too Thats a first


I too am a Real Madrid fan and to be honest I didnt like Barca mostly because of invidia. But the 5-0 defeat at their hands made me realize two things

  1. Real Madrid need time to gel and improve as a team
  2. Have never seen a team which can literally destroy opponents when they want to like Barcelona. The fallback of this event was that I gradually began to appreciate Barcelona's style of football ( Not the Barcelona club though )

But football isn't that simple and last time Inter defeated Barcelona in CL using some brilliant tactics. So anything can happen this time too in the champions league.
I am with you dude. Not a die hard but a madrid fan none the less :thumbsup:

A real fan who likes barca too Thats a first


Ah gr8 to have some support

Well dude no one can deny the fact tht Barcelona are the best team now...!!!
Their "possession play" is awesome...and wid the players they have got well they can aim even the unachievable...!!! But u see i dont support the team...
The time i started watching the game, Madrid used to have such a gr8 team wid zidane figo raul carlos becks...the list goes on...!!! So i am loyal in supporting them since then...!!!
And this year Madrid again have a good time to give barca a tough fight (although we lost the El Classico by a large margin i dont think tht there is much to choose between the teams)

And Yeah i am among the very who wud like to see La Liga better than the EPL

Thats wat am saying too
Their play is good....but we madrid fans do not like the Club Barca...

And Guys i seriously doubt if Barcelona is gonna get the UCL title this year...!!!
Their group stage wasnt totally convincing as is their La Liga campaign...!!!
May be someone else will also deploy a defensive line-up (like inter did last year) and make barcelona suffer again...!!!

The Copa Del Ray Final will be the ONE to watch out for...Real Madrid vs Barcelona...cant pick or predict a winner in tht clash as of now :lookround:

i dunno why are people so excited after series of wins .. i am huge fan of liverpool and would be happy if they win .. But Winning doesn't mean other teams are waste/bad .. its jus one tactically bad day in the office .. As a professional , players themselves know that .. but i dunno why u ppl involve in personal attacks ..

Manusic : PG is not the place to encourage such(your post) things ..

first_timer : i quoted your post as your post was on same lines .. though the above post made u offensive , you shouldnt have posted that way .instead u should have settled the issue with pm or reporting bad post .. dont get me wrong !

Reg thanks and groans : you need to look into rules of PG ..

i dont post in this thread but i often visit this thread (like sammy) ! so, i am not a newbie here .

pls post some quality stuff rather getting involved in personal attack..

where are the moderators ? Not even one person, reported bad post

ps : No offence meant

results from last night's international fixtures:

german y 1-1 italy
denmark 1-2 england
argentina 2-1 portugal
france 1-0 brazil


But football isn't that simple and last time Inter defeated Barcelona in CL using some brilliant tactics. So anything can happen this time too in the champions league.


the only thing which can stop barca is the manager of the club they are facing.. they have far too much talent at their disposal.. i dont know if you all remember the semi final of 2009 champions league between chelsea and barca.. during the course of 180 minutes , barca managed only 3-5 shots on target..:shocked:
even though chelsea lost that game on the away goal rule but the mindset of chelsea was not at all defensive (unlike the inter vs barca game) .. according to me Guss Hiddink had the perfect strategy in that game as to how to tame barca without putting 10 men behind the ball ..

but nonethless i think if someone can beat barca at their own game its arsenal.. we shall see what happens in a weeks time..eagerly waiting for champions league to start again ..:thumbsup:

Ya dude i agree wid u...!!!
Considering the fact tht arsene wenger is a gr8 tactician of the game... and he always encourages young talent...he grooms them well...!!
Arsenal are a team tht play wid lot of passion...they give it all...!!!

PS - only drawback of arsenal now is tht they dont have a good goalie...!!!
Barcelona will be quite aware of tht and will exploit if to the fullest :lookround:

No disrespect for Arsenal but match against barca is too much for gunners.
I can see them giving any seirous challenge to barca. Barca posses too much quality for me BARCA Team= Spanish National Team(well almost)+Messi.
So for any Arsenal fans to expect them to beat barca is fair.
Hope we have open and fastpaced game!!!

Ah gr8 to have some support

good to see a la liga fan....but our EPL is not that bad...team like wolves have beaten 3 teams out of the top 4 and still lie next to bottom level in points with the bottom team...you can never see such things happening in la liga...its either barca or real & then rest of the teams...its becoming too predictable:drinking:

PS - only drawback of arsenal now is tht they dont have a good goalie...!!!
Barcelona will be quite aware of tht and will exploit if to the fullest :lookround:

and another drawback of arsenal is their inability to close out games.. look what happened during the past weekend , from 4-0 up they left st james with a single point... this has been the biggest reason for their trophy less seasons (5 and counting)..

There is no doubt that Arsenal lack experience and goal keeping has been one of their Achilles heel in recent years. But some of it can be attributed to their strategy of selling players when their team is well set. I remember that after the great unbeaten team of Henry,Viera,Cole and Bergcamp they managed to set up a decent team with the likes of Flamini, Hleb , Adebayor , Gilberto. Infact in 2007 they became the first English team to beat AC Milan at the San Siro. But what happen afterwards , the experienced guys like Flamini, Hleb , Adebayor , Gilberto were all sold subsequently and the core of the team became weak.

In recent times they have shown conviction in retaining Fabregas. Had they shown the same conviction by offering better incentives to Flamini, Hleb , Adebayor and Gilberto they wouldnt have been facing a trophy drought like this.
