Ole and Frank are at the wheels, man, they’re doing their thing.

That seems a wee bit contradictory

I reckon we'll make the top 4 this season.

I reckon Leicester and Wolves fans will be thinking the same thing. At this rate it will be a two horse race by mid November between ourselves and the Oil Barons.

3rd and 4th are wide open this season, I don't think teams will need much more than about 60 points.

Fucking Zouma. I coulda been rich. Rich, I tell ya.

That’s ace.

Laporte injuring himself doing a typically snide foul when City are being countered.

[Herp McDerp]

Napoli are cursed. There's no other explanation for it.

Dogshit defending for that Southampton goal. De Gea makes the save and all the other Mancs just stand around scratching their arses while Southampton get the ball back in.

Slab head being the main culprit trying to mark space.

It's the football equivalent of the Red Bull Soapbox race. Great fun to watch when they roll down the hill and then crash and turn over while disintegrating to pieces. All that's missing is the slapstick movie piano soundtrack. Hilarious!

Barcelona create very little with Messi, Dembele and Suarez out. OK, every team would suffer with three of their best players missing, but it doesn't say much about their strength in depth considering the money the fuckers throw about.

Heroics. Reminds me of a lad in our team saving two with his chest. He was actually our best player in every position.

[aRdja]

 

We gave them £180m. Not our fault they decided to spend it on useless twats like Cedric, Boufal and Hoedt.

[Leyton388]

I look forward to their relegation the bunch of fucking mongs.

Compare that to the performance our lads put on against them in the semi-final without Mo and Bobby, and Robbo in the second half. They've become so used to Messi and Suarez being so bright and active and industrious, that they've just let them get on with it and done their own thing.

 

Look at our team, with or without Mo, Bobby and Sadio, and there's a collective responsibility for defence and attack which feeds into and becomes a collective confidence and belief that they will get the job done, whatever adversity they face. Barcelona, for all their glamour and money and anything else anyone cares to list, don't have that. No other team does. We have a proper 'team' in the fullest and best sense of the word.

[Jairzinho]

If we had to start our first half dozen games without Firmino, Mane and Salah the title race would be finished by October.

 

You can hammer Barcelona for many things but not being very good going forward when Messi, Suarez and Dembele are all injured is a bit harsh.

It's their strength in depth I'm having a pop at. They've spent a fucking fortune over the past decade yet struggle when two of their main players are out. Plus it wasn't always that way, they've managed before, look a tadge wanting now.

We have a way better manager mate. 

[Jairzinho]

And he has considerably more power.

What is the general feeling amongst Spanish fans mate? Personally I think the title is up for grabs this season. The so called smaller clubs are no longer frightened of the top clubs and are willing to have more of a go. Some also have very good defences who can park the bus but also be dangerous at the other end. Interesting times. 

Just to add to that. Messi seems to be picking up more injuries of late, could be a massive problem. Real have one of the moist overrated managers in football.
