This is what happens when Chelsea fc play an open game against Barcelona when our players are not old and when we are 11 men with no suspensions ;) Enjoy the match. http://vimeo.com/79146313 That's when you had all the top players too.

I remember this, watching it live in a pub. :) Was a glorious performance, and extra sweet after all the Spanish press and Barcelona players had talked about 'anti-football' and what-have-you. Hell, UEFA even banned Mourinho from the touch-line for this game, because he turned around and stood up to all the arrogance coming from Camp Nou.

The disrespect started back then, and has never stopped.

And afterward? Ronadinho and the Barcelona press tried to accuse Chelsea of racism. Hell, UEFA even banned Mourinho from the touch-line for the next two games (against Bayern), because he turned around and stood up to all the arrogance coming from Camp Nou.

The disrespect started back then, and has never stopped.

@Lodatz Tuanjin has his own views, you are really taking people for idiots.
If it could answer your question.

If Barça finishes first of their group in CL, i hope they meetChelsea in quarters.

"It really is a shame to see tuan_jjinn make such disrespectful statements. :("

• We all have our opinions. I am aware you have an English supremacy attitude stuck in your brain, but please stop trying to bash or intimidate others who have different opinions. You try to continuously point the finger at Tiki, but you are equally at fault for the endless arguments between you two. Please don't bring anyone else into your English Supremacy/Spanish Supremacy argument.

@Dynast:

"We all have our opinions"

Yes, we do. That doesn't mean that opinions must be respected just because they are opinions. Hell, even Nazis have an opinion. That opinion just happens to be dogshit.

An opinion gains respect for being a GOOD opinion, argued with facts and a wide perspective.

" I am aware you have an English supremacy attitude stuck in your brain,"

See? You just proved that you have a WRONG perspective. If your perspective paid attention to facts and evidence, then you would not make this statement. I suspect that what is actually taking place is that you dislike it when I am so bold as to provide facts which show that the other person is wrong.

Tough sh.it. This is what happens when you want to act as though you should be taken seriously. People start SERIOUSLY arguing against you, and pointing out the SERIOUS flaws in your argument.

"so stop trying to bash La Liga and disgrace Spain and all the players within it because it only makes you look more pathetic."

Oh blah blah blah. Go ahead, Dynast. QUOTE ME. Point out where I am just as bad. Go ahead. I'll give you ALL the time you need.

In the meantime, I'll continue to speak my mind about the disrespectful statements tuan_jinn made about the Premier League. Do you want to know how come they are disrespectful, Dynast? Well, it's because whenever anyone says anything even REMOTELY similar to them about the SPANISH league, then people like YOU show up and whine and complain about disrespect, and throw childish temper tantrums about 'EPL fan-boy arrogance'.

And yet, when provided with examples of La Liga fan boys being much, much worse, you turn a blind eye, because you don't want to admit to yourself that you have been defending a troll and a moron.

So, with all due respect: fuck you. :) You are a hypocrite and a moral coward, because you lack the courage of your convictions to stand up to what you CLAIM to hate, when it is your buddy doing it.

We, of course, didn't have to have this little exchange, but YOU of course felt that YOU should be able to take a personal swipe at me, without reproach.

I am happy to embarrass you, you amateur.

You might need a while, because oh, yeah, I DON'T do anything of the sort. You keep continuing to act as though it's the PL fans who are the ones being disrespectful, when EVERY SINGLE TIME it is the La Liga fan-boys who start and provoke the argument. Your inability to understand this has cost FootyRoom badly, over the last couple of years, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

An opinion gains respect for being a GOOD opinion, argued with facts and a wide perspective. Or, as in the case of the people you call your friends and who lie and torll about the PL, an opinion gets exposed as horse-shi*t because it is founded upon nothing more than bias and bigotry.

Im happy everyone see the real lodatz.

^ You guys need a tv show or something.

Let's calm down guys. Having said that, let me ask you @Lodatz a question:

- In what way did I insult EPL or make disrespectful statement toward EPL?

Do I have to defend PL all the time to not being considered as supporting trolls? Mate, you sounds incredibly childish.

Look, I used to blindly jump on anyone who said MU was lucky or got helped because of Sir. Alex, I used to bash Man City for their $$$, Real for their Galatico and Chelsea for the same reason. I dislike Bayern for keep buying their direct/only rival's best player.

Until Manchester got raped 2 time in CL's final, in the 2nd game I applauded them just like Real fans applauded Ronaldinho when they lost 3 - 0. That because we lost to a superior side, and that was some insane piece of football. I do now with Real Madrid... not that I like them, I just wish MU can perform the way they do or have the same kind of players.

Then I look back at EPL, Chelsea is THE ONLY TEAM now looks solid, consistent to challenge any of the big guys. PERIOD. Arsenal might win, yes, but if is there anyone in the right mind would bet on Arsenal, or Liverpool against any of those, expect being their fans, hoping for luck and win big money because the rate is high (for a reason). Back then, what Chelsea did to win Barca in the 2 games, let be honest here, as a natural fan and you dont dislike Barca's success, then NO ONE can enjoy bus parking tactic for whatever reason (red card blah blah). We understand, but we dont like it.

I just happen to watch BOTH EPL and La Liga and I see that La Liga has more quality playing style (to me), much higher. I see a significant number of players that truely bring something on the table that come from Spain or used to play there. And when they come they make the cut.

However, EPL has WAY better overall atmosphere, competitiveness. But that's it for now.
