BARCELONA..... THE ONLY CLUB IN SPAIN TO DO THE TRIPLETE






RE-OWNED

nice try though....  

Only team in Spain to win 9 european cups, 5 in a row and 32 like titles.

re-re-owned

you will always be in our shadow, your minor achievements are nothing compared to what we have done and will continue to do.

  Sure, ignore the years of diving from the player and then look at a small sample of matches to somehow make a point?...How many La Liga matches have there been?...12, he's played only in half or something...Let's revisit when he's actually played a number of matches

Meanwhile, let's not forget who the player is

He has turned over a new leaf, he doesn't dive here like he did in the premiership and if you have watched him so far you would see that too.

Would you say someone who kills one person is better than someone who kills 5 people?

No, but if the guy who killed 5 people suddenly puffed his chest out and accused the guy who killed 1 person of being a murderer, I find it laughable.

----------------------------------------------

Anyhow......

This thread is going nowhere fast.  I think we can all agree that CR96 was a diver, and may still be, time will tell.  We can also agree that Iniesta does go down with minimal or soft contact similar to Kaka, Deco, Guti and some other players we've all known.  We can call it a dive or not, but it doesn't change the fact that they do it.  Let's not ruin the Iniesta thread with this kind of crap though.  We have two Barca haters in here, and we're all just giving them what they want by arguing it with them. Ignore them, you'll never convince them of anything.

By the way, warning for both sides:  Anymore of the off-topic 'owned and re-owned' crap will result in a warn.  Stay on topic please.

Serious Madridista myopia, son...You must be living in denial or one helluva bubble to somehow lump CR with Iniesta...It's not even a rational discussion

But, sure, in your world, I'm sure it appears that Andres & CR are cut from the same cloth wrt diving

What kind of logic is this?

You justify Iniesta's diving with Ronaldo being a bigger diver, therefore you say Ronaldo can't accuse Iniesta of diving and thus Iniesta is not a diver. This makes as much sense as you sugar-coating Dani Alves' actions by saying he "makes a meal out of tackles". So hypocritical. If we go by this then no one ever dives, they just "make a meal out of tackles".

On a side note, I'm a big fan of Iniesta and I hate Ronaldo, so dont accuse me of being biased. And try to be objective for once, you're probably the most biased fan I've came across on this forum. Take off your red and blue tinted glasses for once.

Fair enough, Roger. Just had to say that. Feel free to delete my post.

My last point on this, as well.

As Roga pointed out, diving and going to ground easily are two different things...I'd say that Iniesta goes down too easily for my taste but that's a far cry, IMHO, to diving - same applies to Dani...Herein lies the key difference, without being touched, Andres is not going to go down...CR?...You know the answer.

My point about mentioning one in the same breath as the other is that it's ludicrous...One is a habitual diver and he's found complaining as well as accusing another of doing what he does?...The logic in that is clear, it's hypocrisy as well impossible for CR to be one to complain/judge.

Lumping the world's most notorious diver with Andres is an insult apart from being patently ridiculous...You don't have to take my 'bias' for it, you could poll the planet of fans and I suspect you wouldn't ever see/read Andres lumped in the same sentence as CR when it comes to simulation.

no i'm not a number... I'm a human being..  

Who cares about who's diving and what not... doesn't take away from the fact that Iniesta is a legend already and he has plenty of years left in him. I would take Iniesta over CR96 any day.... barca fan or not... I'm a fan of futbol and would rather have someone like Iniesta on my squad.

Oh and Roga... sorry bud... didn't mean to get off topic and it's totally my fault. I'll refrain from anymore of that back and forth mess.

Laughable in the same way that Barcelona fans slag Ronaldo constantly yet fail to acknowledge they have players on their squad that do it also? If Iniesta had to cope with what Ronaldo did in the EPL I wouldn't be surprised at all if he dived with no contact opposed to this "diving with contact".

Its not about hating Barcelona its about continuous slagging of Ronaldo when in the Clasico Alves and Iniesta went down numerous times with Ronaldo diving maybe once on that PK call. Its ridiculous that you can point the finger and laugh at Rolondo but when one of your own is talked about in regards to diving fans look for any reason they can find to defend him like "he only dives when he gets minimal contact".

[xaviesta]

All of you need to shut the fuck up and stop bitching like fucking little girls. This thread deserves better than 3 pages of back and forth bullshit.

Anyway back on Iniesta.

-------------------------------------

I was a little surprised that a quiet player like Iniesta would actually get upset. I got a bit scared  

[FCBarça]

Facebook seeing an explosion of groups heralding the actions of Iniesta towards Clownaldo during the Clasico...One group has around 100k members but many other groups have cropped up, as well...Seems like the planet was very much behind the mild mannered Don's reaction

[FCBarça]

[Jag]

That is brilliant.

[Roger]

Look at the image they used for Inesita in their poll: http://www.marca.com...aciones644.html

[Jag]

It's even crazier when you actually visit that page and see how he pales in comparison. Sorry, that one was too easy.

THAT goal scored by the Don last season has been nominated for the inaugural ‘Puskas Award’ that will be awarded to a player from either the men’s or women’s game judged to have scored the best goal of the year. The winner will be decided by the fans through an online poll.

Here's the link to the FIFA website which has the online poll > Clicky

Get to voting people!!

[Sextuple]

Done!

What makes me appreciate that goal even more than the obvious reasons, is that Andres hasn't scored since then. He's had lots of 'easy' chances to get his name on the scoresheet *xerez anyone?* yet his finishing failed him. I'm afraid it was a once-in-a-lifetime goal. I really hope he works more on that aspect of his game, and gets more involved with the team. Something tells me he hasn't fully recovered yet from the hamstring injury.

[FCBarça]

How much will the Don be missed?
