Barcelona v Bayer Leverkusen 2012

AWESOME!!!

MESSI AWESOME.

They really are a joy to watch sometimes.

 

Imagine how good he'd be if he had a decent right foot!! Incredible footballer!

 

Yea and they are getting smashed by Real Madrid in the league. Not consistent enough but when they are on form they are by far the best team in the world.

And if Messi doesn't have a decent right foot, I can't wait to see what a decent weak foot is

 

The whole team is pure class going forwards.

They pass it through teams like it should be done.

 

Imagine the excuses if they'd have played and beaten Hull...........

In their ****ing dreams eh?

 

Did you not see his third! Perfect chip with his 'weak' foot. What a genius. The Argentinean Snodgrass...

 

Surely this was meant in a sarcastic way?

 

The only way they could get anything off Hull is if the Ref was on their side.

Pfft... not as good as snodgrass. Snodgrass can use both feet.

 

I find it really hard to appreciate football that's not played by Leeds United. Not trying to sound all superfan, it's just the truth.

The closest I've come to genuinely enjoying a particular playing-style recently has been when I watched the German national team at the World Cup. They knocked it about lovely, but weren't a bunch of wusses either. Just like our team in the O'Leary days and some of Grayson's better performances, along with hopefully plenty more to come in the era of Warnock!

Barca, they just bore me. Great, they pass the ball and do skills and score goals. I want to see urgency, passion, commitment and total, unbridled, furious football. The sort of football that inspired Leeds to that 4-0 at Nottingham Forest after Gary Speed's passing. Football with some heart to it.

Barca don't have that, just a great technique and a mechanical ability to artfully pass the ball into the back of the net.

 

I enjoy different types of football. I enjoy watching Arsenal where many don't, I enjoy watching Barcelona especially when on form and I also enjoy watching solid defenses that deal with things like Inter used to. I also enjoy very physical games but sadly we are seeing less and less of the real physical games because refs have become puffs in recent years and with the evolution of football I can't see many more good physical sides anymore. I do watch a hell of a lot of football but because I enjoy the game

 

Mourinho's Inter when they frustrated Barca for that 90 minutes in Milan were just sensational. Far more entertaining for me than some tippy-tappy pussyball where they end up winning 7-1. True impurists will know what I mean.
