Barcelona bore me to tears.. I turn over the TV.. Chelsea under Mourhino were far more entertaining with Duff and Robben.... Fast and at em with teh 2 wingers is the real exciting way to play football just like Manchester United

This no striker bul**** Spain play with is killing football..

The opinions of a minority of ******s mean very little.

What is really boring is playing with 10 players in front of your goal, then making a long pass and hope Drogba makes something happen.

This Spain is one of, if not the, greatest national team of all times, so suck it

The amount generated by gates only pays about 5 players' wages nowadays

That's definitely true. But pre-T.V it was the be all and end all.

It took them until the early 90's to figure out they could get money for tele rights. It took them until the 70's to realise they could put advertising on shirts and sell advertising space.

Football men have always been ******s. Still relatively speaking the league is undersold, we all bum off it. Travel the world and the premiership is everywhere. And these clubs are still in trouble.

Hence why the Americans are trying to get involved. Kroenke is happy to say nothing and pick up his cheque every year. However, the Liverpool owners have been let down by manager buying duds and despite a big sponsorship deal with Warrior sports their team just isn't competitive. But there is scope there for someone who knows what they are doing to crash the party.

Same old arrogant European just like in the economic/political world. All you want to do is keep your unfair advantage that you obtained unfairly to the detriment of other nationalities.

Stay tuned for more Dispatched from Beneath a Bridge.

How do you figure?

And watching Barcelona would be better than watching the likes of "bunker specialists" Chelsea, that's for sure.

Agreed thats some bull**** style of play.

It is not a style of play. It is what you have to do when someone is better than you.

If everyone played the same way as Barcelona there would be no point of even watching the games.

Real Madrid just beat Barcelona in the supercopa without resorting to bunkering, so yeah...

Chelsea has spent a ****load of money during these past years yet they can't good football.

Or you could just be like Arsenal and actually outplay Barcelona at their own game

no managerial stability will do that.

mourinho made us into trench sitters. every manager after never tried to change. then we get one that does but he's so passive that he doesn't actively seek change, instead tries to make lampard into pirlo. which is a fail. so he got sacked.

the only way we play attractive ball is to get a manager who wants to change and then stop starting players that can't play that way. idk wtf di matteo wants to do.

that's why i wanted jurgen klopp or lucien favre. but klopp refused to leave BVB. while favre is unknown to the chelsea board i suppose.

Chelsea are a small bum club. So no matter how much money you throw at it, they'll always revert to type.

You are who you are.

I remember when Jack Wilshere schooled Xavi at the Emirates. This happened after Guardiola said Wilshere isn't that great of a player.
