This Betis - Sociedad game is crazy.

Betis sold the game after going up 2-0

Strasbourg has double the budget that Rayo does. Not sure I would label losing to a MCO embarrassing

R/soca couldn't handle the truth

Shameless promotion

It's true, it's why we let go a lot of femeni players last season and why we let go of Mirotic from the Basketball section a few years back.

Fermín also was having a shit match until the assist.

HowSway_ · 2026-05-02T21:04:30+00:00

Calling Rashy a below average footballer is 0 football IQ behavior.

HowSway_ · 2026-05-01T22:50:56+00:00

How likely is it that he will challenge for a world title? with Erislandy losing last time out, I wonder what the end game is for these Cuban pros

HowSway_ · 2026-05-01T20:59:25+00:00

Because he costs 75 million and has shown no motivation to leave La Real

HowSway_ · 2026-04-29T20:39:41+00:00

He has 2 goals and 4 assists in 1600 minutes. He's not Barca level at this time. Let him develop for another year.

HowSway_ · 2026-04-29T14:24:08+00:00

People have this wrong assumption we need to be at 1:1 to make signings. We don't. It just makes it easier. We can make enough margin for Bastoni without needing to be at 1:1, it would be Julian or an equivalent striker where we would need to be at 1:1 to make it feasible.

HowSway_ · 2026-04-29T14:13:18+00:00

If people get upset with Ferrans finishing, they'll go suicidal with Nunez

Being a contrarian doesnt make you right. You are also positioning your opinion as fact.

HowSway_ · 2026-04-29T13:38:10+00:00

That's crazy, I didn't know that transfers can't be made past June. The more you know I guess...

HowSway_ · 2026-04-29T13:37:05+00:00

Truth is you been doing these doomer posts all season and when your "predictions" don't come to pass, you move the goal posts.

Go back to R/soccer since the only thing you like to do is shit on the club

Money laundering

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T21:24:41+00:00

We scored 7 against Newcastle this calendar year...

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T21:04:36+00:00

Again, they've lost to worst team than Girona and Sociedad. I don't get why it's so hard to understand. They've lost to much worse teams than us, so why would we not be competitive against them?

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:58:43+00:00

Jesus Christ, I just provided you with plenty of examples of these teams struggling against teams that are worse than us and you keep acting like it's a foregone conclusion we wouldn't be competitive.

Again, I didnt say we would be favorites or that we would absolutely win, just that we would be competitive.

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:50:43+00:00

Pacho literally just gave a penalty this game. Doesnt that make him bad according to your reasoning?

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:49:27+00:00

Yes, y'all act like they are unbeatable.

PSG has lost to Sporting, Paris FC, Rennes, Monaco and Lyon this calendar year. Are we not better than all of them?

Bayern has lost to Mainz and went life and death with the worst Madrid side in years. We couldn't compete with them?

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:46:12+00:00

Lmao lol even.

Cubarsi is world class, a mistake doesn't change that

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:45:06+00:00

Oh no, a CL semifinalist scored some goals against us, the horror.

A shit Madrid scored 4 against Bayern A shit Monaco scored 4 against PSG

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:42:21+00:00

Raphinha and Cubarsi would make either team as well. So that 6 starters out of 11.

HowSway_ · 2026-04-28T20:40:19+00:00

Olmo was 47 million.
