I bet CR7 is good in bed. So confident.

Denis the Menace celebrating (his brace) with his son

A true hero <3



you could say the same about Bayern, right? Mats Hummels, Prime Klose, young Podolski, Nils Petersen etc

Or United? Rossi, Pique, Pogba, Machede...

you see where I'm going with this? :p It's very common with the biggest clubs.

I love Denis the Menace. Deserves to be somewhere better than fucking Atalanta.

gonna play devil's advocate here, but if not CL success, what does measure the massiveness of a club on international level, when comparing dicks in the league is out of the question?

stability.



I'm not even kidding this time

Can you call Ajax a big club with a straight face now? No one is going to waste his prime years there anymore. We were too big to die, for example.

Seriously, what are you talking about?

I was talking about the part you deleted from my post
 
people take some of the banter that comes outta my fingers waaay too seriously

Isco would be starting more if he stepped his defensive game up. Di Maria is who's currently keeping him out of the midfield three.

There really is no set way of measuring present massiveness


Past success, recent success, current prospects, financial strength, size of fanbase, even the size of the stadium comes into it for me. Some clubs just have an aura of massiveness as well, like Milan, even if things aren't looking too good at the moment.

Fair enough. But at the same time, being one of the most talented players in Spain just to come off the bench when at the same could hone his talent both defensively and in attacking position while playing every game he could, just cries for disappointment.

Yeah I dunno. Linny will blow the trumpet, and of course in a way he's right, but massive clubs in the past like forest, Leeds and to a lesser extent villa have almost no impact on anything on the grand stage. They're not threatening to get into Europe. The two in the lower leagues aren't winning theirs. It's not that they aren't big clubs, because that seems... disrespectful. But they're not clubs anyone wants to be at.

Liverpool have done quite well the last few years to live off their reputation; Suarez for instance is a signing that must have partly been because they're such a big name. But he came from Ajax, who are a traditionally big club in a poor league who come third in their CL group every year. It's an odd argument because it feels silly calling someone a 'big' club. There is no such thing. There's good teams and bad teams, and the ones in between. Right now, City are a big club because they're a good team.

Not true at all. Bayern is where young average german players go to die. Talented players always do great at Bayern.

Hummels is our youth player, not someone we signed. The squad was full so we sent him on loan, it worked alright for all the parts involved.

Klose never gave a fuck about Bayern, unless it was a WC year.

Podolski? really?

Nils Petersen? REALLY? :loooooooool That's like saying poor man's Bendtner.

LOL perfect face to use after that sentence.

I seem to anger him even when I am not saying anything directed to or about him. lol

I wonder if he will quote Pulga's "dissonance pls" and tell him to post something original out of the blue. I won't, because frankly I don't care what he or any of you post as long as it is within gaf rules and you don't get banned.

I guess some people just take it more seriously.

Gomez made it to the "big scene" thanks to Bayern. We basically played tactics just to suit him for two seasons. He would be playing in Serie C if he had joined RM, for example.

Mandzukic was a nobody before joining Bayern, now he's one of the best strikers in the world. Gotze is basically the new GOAT

We did kill Tymo's career tho :(
at least he won the treble before leaving

Why do you even support Bayern? You're Argentinian, you should support a spanish or italian side. Jupp pls.

If I wanted to support a latin side, I would rather support one in Argentina. The same thing: economic problems, violence, under the table 'business', corruption. Nope thanks

Bundesliga seems like the best league, without the drama and football corruption, healthy league with great modern football and lots of youth talent. I really enjoy it

I'm starting to follow Newell's Old Boys this season in Argentina anyway :p
