No one is obliging anyone to love their style, but it's laughable when some say they play boring game, they're bunch of Messi independents or to discredits their achievements just because of their fanboys. That's funny.
But you just said that I don't like their style because I hate them.

The football Juve played in 2003 was entertaining for me. The football Manchester United has been playing the past years is entertaining for me. Mourinho's Chelsea was entertaining for me.

It's all about taste in the end.
Just for the record, do you enjoy manure's football this season and did you enjoy their style of football two season's ago?

If i've learnt something from the Liga debates is never to take something Hoori says about Barca seriously nor to take anything Dusan says about Real seriously.

Exactly, we are not talking about individual we are talking about individuals... and individuals are part of the game when we're talking about more than 4 or 5 players which are part of the team's play, team's control, team's vision, team's passion, teams passes etc...

I can probably understand that they don't bring joy to you but to say they play a very boring game. Lets be serious.

Define me entertaining type of football.
This is a matter of taste Rab. The way Barca plays requires a lot of ability, technique and strength but it doesn't mean that it has to be appealing to watch for every football fan. I really don't understand why I have to explain myself about this.

As for your question, I personally love counter-attacking type of football, something like Valencia of Hector Cuper used to play back in the day.

I will also understand if someone enjoys watching defensive football. Italian teams, for years, were (and still are) very defensive teams and they had (and still have) lots of fans worldwide.

Some smart transfer business from both teams.

Every single team in this world is trying to copy Barcelona's style of play. That is a fact and says it all for me. I am sure if Juve plays similar football you wouldn't be saying the same. Some of you are just trying to be stubborn for the sake of holding their argument.

Again, you may not be a fan of their style but lets be realistic Barcelona play boring football? Even hardcore Real Madrid fans would take this as a joke.

I will also understand if someone enjoys watching defensive football. Italian teams, for years, were (and still are) very defensive teams and they had (and still have) lots of fans worldwide.
I love defensive football, probably more than attacking but doesn't mean I have to ignore the beauty that Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester United provides of attacking possession football.

And if you want to talk about fans and statistics then you and Jack for example are the minority because majority, big majority do think that Barcelona style of play is interesting and very watchable. No commentator, no coaches, players rivals and UEFA community would deny this.
