But yay! I don't want pool to win the title because their fans are annoying as hell. Keep them stuck in the 80s glory days | ||

I've seen fans do stupid stuff, but I don't think it has stood out in particular from other clubs. There's very little talk about the glory days or anything like that here (assuming you can find a fellow fan in the first place). I ended up supporting them partly because of the history with Sami Hyypiä. I've also got some Dortmund connections, so Klopp as a manager made them even more likeable. Playing UCL consistently doesn't hurt either, since it's the easiest competition to follow without expensive TV channel packages or constant visits to expensive pubs that show the matches. | ||

(which despite perhaps lacking any direct connections doesnt seem to make them any less passionate, something thats always felt weird to me but hey who I am to judge.) That and "something something Stevei G best player to never win PL". Id like them to win tbh, but I dont particularly care if they dont either. | ||

He's now back at Porto where he can be himself and live and play with the likes of him. This was him this this weekend vs a fellow national team player, 17 years younger than him. (Joao Felix ) First trying to intimidate him by going to the ball way more stronger than he needed, and then faking that he was hit. Classic Pepe. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/V2gVykm.gif) Btw, after 3 and a half years with Rui Vitoria as a coach (imho the worst coach Benfica had in the last 25 years) we finally got a decent coach. Bruno Lage who was a coach for the youth teams for 10 years in benfica and that in the last couple of years was in Carlos carvalhal assistant manager. Let's see what the future holds for us but I think you'll see a really good Benfica in Europe again. | ||

People are already commenting on a 120M offer from man United for Joao Felix. He only has 20 games as a starter for the first team... fucking "modern" football where the classic teams can't even maintain a player for more than one season. | ||

Well trust me this is not applicable in Singapore and South East Asia. There's a massive EPL following here and Liverpool fans are equally annoying. I would say Liverpool and Man Utd are the 2 most hated fanbases here. | ||

I know most United fans (including mysef) hate them with a passion but it's interesting to see Chelsea and Arsenal share the same thinking :D I was actually rooting for them last season in CL. I thought they deserved something for their brand of football. But this season klopp ditched the old style so I don't really enjoy watching them anymore. Plus I follow thisisanfield (anyone has a Chelsea equivalent?) and the comments there are annoying. I recall when robertson was signed and everyone went like eww low quality signing from a relegated club. Same for shaqiri. Also with the 'we scored 7 past him' Alison. Now they're all worshipping these players. Need to keep these fans waiting imo | ||

His stats are actually very good, he has better stats than Zidane and Figo and played lots of games less. He also minus goals is better than fat Ronaldo as well. He just gets injured a lot it seems. I would take him but the issue is now he is 30 in July, he is only going to get worst. I think Real will try to sell but mainly due to this is the last year they have being able to get some value for him. Where he goes im not sure though, because like i said he 30 now. | ||

Yeah, I agree I was a bit harsh there. The headline was just too tasty to let go.  I like him as a player, but mostly he feels a bit of mismatch to what Real need when Ronaldo isn't around. Most of his games are 60 minutes max (90 last time in December as far as I can tell) and the Classicos were very quiet time for him. I don't think it's his fault with the injuries and other issues in the team, but it still feels a bit underwhelming when you think of his top form. He's still 29 for a while, so I think he could have a few decent years left in him. Right now it just feels like it isn't going to happen unfortunately. | ||
