It's annoying how everyone creams themselves over them and they are dirty cheats?

I don't care for them much - but I do not hate them. I do think they are one of the worst teams for play-acting but what makes it most annoying is why do they need to play-act because their talent is obvious - there is no need for them to do it! Messie - to be fair - does not seem to act and always pulls himself off the floor and gets on with it - no drama from him. Its a shame his team mates do not follow his lead...

As other posters have stated; their style of play can be quite boring to watch too.

I didn't see anyone saying anything about booting the ball forward. Man Utd are a very attacking side they don't lump the ball forward, they pass and move but go for it.

Saints DO NOT play like Barcelona. They do not get to the byline then turn around and pass it backwards then to the midifled then to the other side then to the other byline then backwards etc.

Saints get to the byline and cross the ball. That is the difference. No problem with passing the ball around and playing keep ball but if you get to the byline or in a good position DO SOMETHING WITH THE BALL, not pass it back to the midfield.

you obviously didn't go to the peterborough home game :cheesy:

I didn't say we played like Barca either. The comments were made about keeping the ball; it is just an opinion, that I believe possession in football is key. Keep looking for the opportunity to get the ball forward at the right time, but if it's not on, keep it. A lot of English teams get the ball forward as quickly as possible regardless of whether that reduce the percentage of keeping the ball.

One fact that people must cosnider is that over the last 3 years Barca have probably been the best team in the world.

On the crossing from the byeline, we don't actually do that often. Frazer has got to the byeline a few times this season, but we normally cross from slightly deeper.

The premier league is the fastest league in the world, but not necessarily the best.
