Please help my back my argument. I show the stats but this dumbass ignores them. He's a huge Barca fan, as am I, but he can't seem to fathom that La Liga is a TWO team league. "Oh but Bilbao beat United." Ok moron, Chelsea beat Barca and he goes on that Chelsea defended all game blah blah blah

what a moron

crap like this pisses me off

La Liga is better than the EPL.

Spain did perform better overall in Europe this year. I can't think of another way to measure it.

Yeah, Bottom9 is easily angered.

However, I admit to not being as soccer-intelligent as some of you fine folks, but I don't like the whole "defensive football is worse" argument. It's just a style of play and it worked out well for Chelsea. I doubt Chelsea would beat Barca any more than 2 or 3 out of 10 matches but, unfortunately, they got the job done that night.

It's a luck based strategy, they obviously aren't as skilled as the two teams they "beat" but had 2 lucky breaks (or 5 seconds of skill from drogba if you'd prefer) and ended up being better at taking penalty kicks..

Chelsea finished sixth. Screw the Champions League. I'm boycotting recognition of it.

one of the few Argentines I like. Actually, you could change few to two, he and Messi.


ETA I get it. The strip is a gift for Derr Papischer (Benedetto).

I wouldnt call it luck. Chelsea ended up being more efficient with the chances they were presented with. Greater efficiency = greater team in this case. You need to score to win the game and barca couldn't do it. God knows they had ample opportunity to do so.

Edit: not "greater" team. Bad word choice. But you know where I'm going with it.
