This is unbelievably naive. Physical fitness, the ability to recover between matches are crucial to winning anything over any season. Guardiola's teams without their level of pressing would be no different to a Van Gaal 1999 Barcelona.

Having a physical edge both in terms of strength and stamina is crucial to winning in football. It is by far the largest factor since you are never going to be at the same fitness level at the 70th minute vs. the 10th minute. Or the 50th game of the season vs. the 5th.

Why do you think people complain about tight fixture schedules? Unless you are physically prepared your chances of winning are heavily diminished, no matter how skillful you are or whatever tactics you use.

Games are by an large decided by small margins and the edge given to you by doping is absolutely indisputable.

Football is as reliant on PEDs as cycling, since once someone dopes you are not going to beat them without doping too. From the comments of the most notorious doctors in clycing, the level of PED use in football is on another planet, which is not even surprising considering the non-existent blood testing regime.

Doping is still not enough. Countless of games are won and lost on tactics alone. I'm not saying it wasn't a big factor in Barca's dominance, but it's still not enough.

Is your team of bottlers losing to Everton now because of doping? No, it's because you're fucking shit.

I'm not even bothered right now. None of this surprises me.

How sad is that? I'm just grateful we didn't concede 3 in the first half. I really am

Not even Pep's HGH would help this Arsenal


although it might help with Gibb's lack of facial hair.
