Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Fundamental flaw with unchecked capitalism, you should hear some of the earnings calls for big companies in the US, psychopathic stuff.

 

Unless you are a Real Madrid season ticket holder, that's already the range for tickets at the Bernabeu. To be fair to the club though, these are reseller prices not direct from the club, but its almost impossible to buy tickets from the club directly unless you are a socio. I paid ~$700 for a La Liga classico ticket, and ~$190 for a La Liga ticket against Sevilla.

 

Curious what's the percentage of local fans in these games in the Bernabeu vs Allianz Arena. I only paid what I paid because I flew all the way to watch the games, and I am sure that's partly why ticket prices blow up that way. The Bernabeu in the games I watched seemed to be mostly tourists.

 

UEFA were charging £600 (or there abouts for a Cat1 seat) £360 for a cat2 and £160 for cat3 for the final in London.

I went for cat3. Ain’t no way I’m paying that much for a cat2 and cat1.

 

So basically forget fairness, let’s just make more money. Ironically it would make the wins less valuable. Hard not to just see these games as friendlies. Same as the super cup games

So the clown has decided to stay, eventually

 

Lol so basically they couldn’t convince anyone to take over that shit show.

I heard a nice stat during the Clasico, Xavi has more red cards than trophies as a manager

 

Great news

 

Who believed he’d actually leave? I think all that was to try and change the dynamics and take pressure off the players

 

Se queda... reminds me of this

 

Doubt it. He's contracted through 2025, and there's no cash to replace him. I think he will either stay on until season's end, or resign. Again.

But sacking him? With what cash?

See the above. It was either:

1. Keep Xavi, or
2. Promote Rafa Marquez from the B team.

 

Exactly. Xavi is a manipulator

 

Totally agree. Been on some of those types of calls over the years.

It's like a sickness. Always chasing more and more money, what they have is never enough. Its the same here in the PL. They always announce each increased TV deal like its finally going to satisfy the clubs, just a couple of years later it's already not enough and they are trying to think up new ideas to make even more money. It'll be what leads to the death of football as we know and love it.

 

Exactly; they don't have the cash to replace Xavi with a top manager.

And honestly, with a top DM and LW they will be in good shape next season.

 

Liverpool getting dicked haha

 

Meh, if someone reminded Xavi that Cancelo really isn't a "defender," and to take him out when leading a match, Barca would be much better off.

 

Largely agree but Lewandowski isn't getting any younger

 

People on stubhub literally lend you season ticket passes, I and definitely not my wife didn't look like the pics in the passes we got, they don't check at all at the gates. Since we are member run, I am sure cracking down on members profiting from game tickets wouldn't be too popular which is why we turn a blind eye.

 

They need to do that

you buy you must use. F resale

 

🤬 #Piqué no oculta el desprecio que le tiene a Bolivia🇧🇴 y a los latinos en general, al punto de que aún teniendo un argumento fuerte a su favor, decide arruinarlo más con esa forma tan fría de "justificarse". Que tío más payaso, racista xenófobo, clasista, narcisista,etc ,etc,… pic.twitter.com/8EiGUoOVr9

piqué got called out for some ignorant disrespect to Bolivia and didn’t even apologize for it

a singer said she was gonna start her tour in Bolivia and he busted out laughing

then when they called him out on it he said he laughed because it caught him off guard thinking it would start in Spain

then when they asked him to apologize to Bolivians he refused

 

Klopp seems to be going out on a low, when was the last time Everton won this fixture again?
