I remember scoffing once when they were linked with Beckham. It just moves in cycles for a club like Barca. I can only think of Real Madrid that are the only team never too far off the very top. In todays episode of calling out utter crap trolling posts from Ellis Rimjob: Let's assume you're about 40 years old (I don't think you are exactly that age but from previous posts it's a good guess). Now ignoring the fact that you don't seem to have ever 'grown up', let's look at Barça's finishing positions since 1981. 40 years... 1st: 17 times 2nd: 12 times 3rd: 5 times 4th: 4 times 5th: never 6th: 2 times This is an average finish of 2.1. So how can you seriously claim that Barcelona don't fit the description of 'never far off the top spot'? For comparison over the same time period, Real Madrid: 1st: 14 times 2nd: 14 times 3rd: 6 times 4th: 3 times 5th: 2 times 6th: 1 time An average finish of 2.2. Ellis, you're not a kid anymore. Stop making shît up and sitting back in your chair, rubbing your hands and cackling about how funny/clever you are. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just referring to Real Madrid being usually one of the best European clubs and then other clubs working in cycles sometimes Barca, sometimes Bayern, sometimes Milan etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) I would say Chelsea are also the team that is usually near the top. Edited December 11, 2021 by flo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they were purchased by a shady oligarch looking to buy respectability in the West, Chelsea were completely interchangeable with any one of about 40-odd English football clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 To be fair, Barcelona first won the European cup in the early 90s. Under Pep they became (relatively) dominant. It’s a similarly churlish argument levelled against Fergie… only won it twice despite domestic dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 They’ve made some expensive flop signings… Messi was holding that place together it seems… but that couldn’t last even with half his wages… things will probably get worse before they get better.

I really dislike how the bigger clubs think they matter more than other clubs, Libpool are the worst at this. We all love our clubs, no more and no less because of how they are doing on the pitch. Totally agree I love that barselona are "struggling". Love to see them relegated al9ng with real madrid. Pompous arrogant clubs, just like liverpool chelsea etc ....and all the dockheads that buy their shirts when they win the "champions" league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, old Ellis back in 2002 or what have you scoffed at the idea of Barcelona signing David Beckham (as in, they weren't big enough to sign him or something).
