Use the ignore function.

Well it is probably better than a bottle of spirits.

The true definition of 'liberal' would be pro-gun ownership.

Bannings are stupid, grow up and just use the ignore feature. Teso is allowed to his free speech and I'll defend that despite him not giving me the same treatment.

It'd be a more interesting debate if we looked at the theories and practises behind both academies and compared their success rates since Cruyff's revolution. Both academies aren't afraid from scouting and inviting/buying/whatever youngsters but that is seemingly where similarities end. Besides, football is observably a sport of cycles, it can be seen in tactics, style, formations, positions, and personalities. For instance in the early 90s Barca had: Guardiola, Ferrer, and Busquets (that I know of), a few years later Real had: Raul, Guti, and Casillas. Barcelona came back with Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, and Valdes, while Real floundered about and let players like Arbeloa, Mata, and Negredo leave, the Barcelona turned up the heat with Messi, Busquets 2.0, Pedro, Pique, and Alba. Of course it returns back to Real with Carvajal, Nacho, and a few others on the wings. Castilla isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard to argue that La Maisa isn't the modern standard. The only academy that could give La Maisa a run for it's money is Ajax's.

Coentrao was more expensive than all three of those players put together. Messi constantly raped Coentrao like Monica Belluci in Noé's Irreversible.

Whaaat? All that matters is the match and without that the game is nothing. Of course they mean something, attitude, and 'lethargy' are equally important as raw talent otherwise Quaresma would be the best player in the world. Don't give me that nonsense, of course Man Utd were 8 goals better than Arsenal that day, the other 36 matches have no bearing on that one. It was also 8-2 not 8-0. Because the joke was "I'd eight two be an Arsenal fan right now". Of course they tell us something, every match tells a story, you can't write it off because it wasn't 'regular'. Well guess what? The bloody CL FINAL isnt a regular match. It is important just like Holland defeating Spain in 2014 was important. They are neither good nor bad things because they are far in the past but are all equally important in the narrative.

Not at all, because that sticks out to me as a sore thumb and that is what I remember it by. Gotta remember I wasn't alive when all this happened so I only know the gist of things, when people talk about one of the greatest teams of all time and don't bring up the fact they got smacked 4-0 in a CL final that raises a lot of questions to me. A loss like that is as significant as any win, just look at Brazil '82. Just like Chelsea '08 is just as important as '12.

A 'dream team' getting it's salad tossed isn't insignificant.

I actually know more about the time they got destroyed by Milan the next year.

Zlatan was their best player. Shame that it ended like that.

I like Atleti. If you examine my avatar not is all it seems... -
Berserk Possibly the most violent material Iv'e ever read. Shame the manga is still ongoing twentynyewrs later because the author is a lazy hack. Also there is a lot of rape or attempted rape.

I thought buy-outs were compulsory in Spain. -
He didn't get game time because he was injured for more than half of the season.
-
Pedro had to leave for himself. He had won everything twice over with Barcelona and he was beyond the point of spending half of the season on the bench. Now he is a crucial Chelsea player.

About three years ago.

He looks like an older, less grumpy Enrique.
