 A fellow Chelsea fan talking about cheating in football. 

If there is a Wikipedia page about cheating in football our club would be on top along with Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus etc. Dont act like Real and Ramos are the bane of evil mate. 

 

And my avatar is ten times better than your whatever the fuck your avatar might explain. Off to my ignore list with you. 

Thought your club was Inter Milan mate. Your defending the indefensible I have said doesn't matter if it's Droga or Ramos it's snide and calculating. My avatar is better than yours how old are you 12 ?. Here's a bit of Cockney rhyming slang son I'm on your ignore list ? I don't give a Donald Duck (with or without a lob on ).

Start discussing things properly please without all this constant slagging of each other.

I'm quick happy to hand out warnings if it continues.

Diego was pissed with an opponent against L'pool, from Ramos it was calculated.
The only similarity is the trial by video.

It's about time they rename Champions League to La Liga II with europian friendlies. If there wasn't for money it would be  such a waste of time for other clubs. It will be won by Madrid or Barcelona in years to come. Other clubs will win it every five or seven yeras. Every football wonderkid will go there which will further  prolong their dominance. Ronaldo will go eventually but Mbpape is on his way. Modrić and Croos will be replaced in the same fashion.

That's because the cup goes where the money goes.
English clubs are playing second fiddle. Some semblance of effort from City I must admit, while Spuds-Arsene are pathetic.
The romantic days are gone.
In the sixties it was Real-Inter again but also Celtic had a squeak.
Those years the Italians had the money. In 1965 they failed to bring Pele. Santos were asking for the record fee of 500,000 sterling and it was too much. 300,000 the Italians were prepared to give but not 500,000 !
If the Bosman law was to be reversed, only then will you see competition. But this has to be done by international agreements. If Brexit was to do something unilaterally, it will be useless and the English teams will be able to reach as far as the second preliminary of August. But if this is done it will be unfair to the players and limit their chances to make professional careers.

For my country Greece the system works in catastrophic ways.
The biggest Greek players ever were Mavros-Nestoridis-Domazos-Linoxylakis-Loukanidis and some others.
Nowadays there are websites dedicated to them, streets named after and so on.
But in today's world you would hear something like this: "that Nestoridis of AC Roma played for Greece for six months did n't he ? was it in AEK Aten or Panathinaikos, can't remember that !". That's for certain, if those players were modern day players.
The last of the giants was Demis Nikolaidis who in the end moved to Atletico Madrid.
So Greek teams reached out to say 50% of the top of Europe some 15 years ago, now they are back to 0.5% !

I can't decide. For the players it is loss of freedom, loss of incentives. For European football as a whole it concentrates power in two or three places.

In the final 4 out of the 5 goals scored was because of fullbacks who beat their man and put in proper crosses for the striker to finish. When you look at marcelo, carvajal, Alves and Sandro then you know we're not on the same planet with them. You cannot defend against when the fullbacks are pushing the opponent wingers back with dribbling, energy and accurate crossing. 

I hope we improve on Moses and Alonso or that's what we'll be competing with next season. Even here in the league as tottenham did and Guardiola is also going out for energetic dribbling fullbacks too.

You must be the only football fan in the world who's excusing Ramos he's a cheating prick his side are 3-1 up and cruising and he does that?. Rolling about feigning injury is not part part of the game doesn't matter if it's Drogba or Costa. And by the way your avatar is fucking weird mate.

I hate real because pepe and Ramos. I have never seen defender dive as often and as theatrical as these two players

Super cup today. Prediction?

Ronaldo to score the winner. Rumour coming back to MU in the morning.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Jammy United win and a load of blah after 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

So far MU defence is shit as usual. They're lucky not conceded.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Real all over MU. 1-0 Casemiro.

[Special Juan 27,099]

1-0 Madrid

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If that's Inzaghi, the linesman won't raise the flag.

Mourinho looks a right prick in that gear he's wearing. He looks like a middle aged banker who's gone to the gym for a lunchtime workout.
