I never said barca sucked etc, on the contrary even though viking blood flows through my veins, i admit the ronaldinho era was the best ive ever seen, no team has played as attractively as barca with a fresh eto, deco and dinho. But you can’t expect to maintain it forever. All teams follow through biting the turf and then rebuild.

We welcome all to this space, no matter who they’re a fan of. But please be advised that when you come into a man’s home and, in effect, say “Your house sucks and your kids are ugly,” things have the potential to spiral out of control. That they haven’t is a testament to the folks having the discussion.

But, as a semi-official “favor,” let’s say that this discussion has run its course.

Thanks, everyone.

One could start the “rebuttle” with the fact that Real Madrid would not have been allowed into several of those CLs (once again, nice of you to recognise how many they have in fact won) nor been able to afford certain of those players were it not for the local authorities’ having rezoned the old training ground and then purchased it at an above-market price.

But who has the time?

We can’t deny your sporting successes in the past two years (trust me, we recall every painful minute), but neither can you deny the reality of the political context in which your club has always operated. That context positively seeps from every one of your tiresome posts.

But once again; let’s leave it.

Im not coming here to stir anything up, it would be good to admit your nemesis’s positive thoughts and viceversa….in the end you can’t rebuttle any of my claims, 1943….etc etc Real has won two leagues consecutively, nailed barca in the last derbi and you keep bringing up 1943 lol well it must have been very influential since the team hasnt recovered since then. My appearance here simply proves where you stand and your point of view….1940’s.

Regarding Real wanting Barca to win against any foreign team is a little pressure the country adds on FC Barca to admit they are proud to be spanish, since its always controversial to see all the catalans with little stars in their local flags yet when they leave the country, somehow the spanish flags appear….

Flying students and workers, I already know this one will stick in my head for decades.

And, talking about the space-time continuum: Until, say, ten years ago, the merengues didn’t understand -or so it seemed- that we culés wished Realissimo to loose against any other team in the Galaxy, were it Martian, Klingon or even Romulian… “But we ALWAYS wish Barça to win when it plays against a *foreign* team”, they retorted, “After all, *Barça is a SPANISH team*, isn’t it?”. Now, it seems, they’ve seen the light and they celebrate our defeats as much as we celebrate theirs…
