Did you see Barcelona - Almeria? That's the last time I saw Xavi really man marked. The marking was being done by a fairly average player (not Juve material :D ) and it was very effective. Sure, they have lots of other very talented players but so much of their best football goes through Xavi...

I watched the game tonight with an Inter supporter and this is exactly what I was saying to him.

:D

Yep. :agree:

I could tell that's what you were doing. We need more of that I think. That's one of the reasons why I hope Aaron comes back. Good night.

Yes, they're the idiots. ;) :P

This is clearly going no where.

Fewer than Casillas makes in an average season, and that was probably Buffon's worst season.

There is no doubt that Gigi is better than Casillas.

It's crazy to think that Victor Valdes could go his whole career and never play for Spain despite playing in this all-conquering Barca team.

Last season JC was the best. It all depends what we're judging them on. Current form or overall career.

I agree that Ronaldo is better (Messi is better than both).

That's not really my point. IMO, Cesar is slightly better than Casillas but that doens't really matter. They're both up there in the top five at least. The people I'm talking about don't rate Buffon and Cesar anywhere near Casillas, practically every keeper in the EPL, blah blah...

They even think Kaka is hugely overrated because he's played in Italy. They'd probably prefer Ryan Giggs.

My EPL supporting friends are so ignorant about football outside Britain. They know fuck all about any other leagues/countries, even Irish football. They laugh at me for supporting Galway United because they're "shit". I've tried to tell them that Irish football would improve a lot if people...

Why? Seriously. Edit: Also, you don't remember pre-Calciopoli Juventus?

That is not unique to your country. Replace ESPN with RTE and Sky and it's pretty much the same here. Except instead of Barca and Manure it's every EPL team (plus Celtic) but especially Manure.

Read my last post in this thread.

Why else would any of us have started supporting an Italian football club that the vast majority have no real affiliation to.

Like Juve.
