    I'm not a fan of what I'm about to say because it's used unnecessarily at times. But Oldham is a proper northern club. Good to see them back in the league. Chuffed for 'em.

He does, but this isn't one of those times.

 

Bayern need a bit of a pep talk.

 

It was more about what he said about Pep, name me a side better than the Barca one under him and regardless of these 2 legs, Bayern have been very good under him this season.

Germans never good in a crisis. Flat track bullies.

Pep only knows one way.

 

The quicker we get out if this tippy tappy football bollocks he has brought to the world, the better, for me.

If you didn't enjoy Spain's tippy tappy taking Italy apart in the final of the last Euros then you have no business watching football.

They've had about 170% possession and look at the score.

 

The only place it counts is in the net, not being cunted around the middle of the park

I'll stand by my comment Dids as I have done for many years vs you on here, Pep, Barca and now this Bayern side are utterly shite to watch!

 

Pass, pass, pass zzzzzzz

 

 

Possession football is fucking wank!

Come on Brum ffs. As it stands Wigan guaranteed play offs and Blackpool near as damn it safe.

He said...Real playing football the way it should be played (minus the play acting), much like Bayern played before Pep "anti-football" Guardiola came along.

 

 

ie RM are playing like BM did before Pep arrived.

What is disagreeable, there?

You're entitled to think how you like, but my mind can't comprehend how anyone could not have enjoyed the Barcelona under Pep and the Spanish side of the last 8 or so years, Pep as brought that to Germany, it's not working here v Madrid but there seasons suggests it's worked for them more than not, the fans have seen many a goal and many great performances.

Stevie as always had digs at passing teams and Pep, the rubbish was at anti-football, what Mourinho did v Liverpool was way more like that, anti football would be Pep telling Dante and Boetang to blast it into the box cutting out the midfield and aiming for the CF's head.

Barca = Dull, I'm afraid.

Tippy tappy isn't football to me and many others, though.

I don't doubt its successful, I don't doubt it can create goals but a lot of the time it is possession for possessions sake. I watched Barca beat Getafe (I think) 6-0. Every fucking goal was walked into the net and it was one of the dullest games I have ever watched. Six nil and dull as fuck!

You'd think Bayern might want a shot sometime

'Passing for passing sake', one reason I here/read a lot when people try and give reasons for not liking teams who are dominating the game and not giving the team the ball.

 

It's about tiring your opposition out, making them work off the ball, Barca under Pep were not only unstoppable with the ball, they were almost unmatched off the ball with their pressing and constant team closing down.

 

Every team would defend v them, that wasn't their fault, now and again, a team like Inter would come along and prove Barca could be beaten, it was teams scared off matching Barca attack v attack that made games 'dull' not because Barca wouldn't lend them the ball.

Most 6-0's are dull as they are essentially no contest. Typically a  3-2 or 4-3 would stick in the memory longer.

The drugs had a lot to do with their stamina.

Bayen have dominated the possession in both games and are losing 4 nil, Liverpool dominated Chelsea and lost 2 nil, it’s the ball it the net that count all the other stats you can shove up your arse

 

Just said on the game at Birmingham.that it is zigic's last game and is on over 70 grand a week.his wage has gone up each season he's been there.think we've got problems

Watford escaping our grasp

They're 3-1 down now.

It's risk averse possession that pisses me off. I always end up arguing with some nobber on here when peps in town.

You can argue all you want about styles, but the best football is winning matches, whether it's tippy tappy, parking the bus or whatever other style you want to categorize.

When you say "some nobber" is it not always the same "nobber" ?

And for the record, barca weren't just a good team because of the possession football. They were actually a good team.
