Today's football.

I agree to be honest

I know that's supposed to make us football philistines, but I couldn't give one

Cant stand Barcelona. Cant believe this is the football that everyone is supposed to aspire to.

People who moan about comments like that don't get that excitement and footballing skill aren't necessarily linked.

The actual standard of football in that Spurs v City game was obviously lower, but it was just so much more exciting.

on the other hand south korea vs gabon at the olympics

Agree mate, "if you find Barca boring, then something is wrong with you" pisses me right off. The fact your thread about hated players got traffic while this garbage is on kinda proves it.

Thank God it's not just me who feels that way

I much prefer the "Total Football" from the original Dutch team in the 70's. This Tikki Taka nonsense is just a lesser version of that

i doubt both teams would have played like that if it was a champions league semi though. the later stages especially the first legs are usually cagey affairs. it only becomes interesting if a team has to make up two goals or it's tight heading into the last 30 odd mins of the tie

The Bayern v Real games last season were much better than this, imo.

Andy Townsend is one insufferable bell.

Yeah they were actually. But they would be wouldn't they?

I enjoyed the Barca Vs Chelsea 2nd Leg last year to be fair.

That match had pretty much everything

The bar I was watching it in was exhausted at the end

playoff semi first leg

 

[EFC Si]

there's been some amazing fixtures over the years with some horrific first legs. Inter V Man U, Barca V Man U pop to mind. Both 0 - 0's and so, so dull.

playoff semi first leg

They move quick!

ITV's pundits are on a par with ESPN as some of the worst.

Southgate, Dixon, Townsend and the daft brummie who host's it, terrible.
