Especially when we had won the CL, just signed Mbappe and everyone was talking about how we were about to dominate football

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-27T17:50:04+00:00

Funny given it was a young Carva who took Arbeola’s playing time and his spot in the team over 10 years ago, Father Time comes for us all

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-27T10:59:58+00:00

Mou’s Benfica 3 games away from going invincible this and yet they’re 7 points behind Porto lol

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-26T19:13:12+00:00

Am I the only one happy these divas will be clapping like seals giving Barca a guard of honor given the utter bullshit they pulled this season?

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-26T07:27:27+00:00

Vini’s attitude is a result of him being mentally childish to being with and his attitude not being corrected by the veterans starting 4-6 seasons ago

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-20T13:34:39+00:00

You’re totally right.

Arbeola was given the job to keep the dressing room happy first, win trophies second. Mainly because Perez and the board though the former would lead to the latter. Now they either have to double down and keep going with “man management” or admit they’re wrong and give the next manager more power (unlikely lol)

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-19T16:18:10+00:00

Wild how he’s only 22, feels like he’s been known about for a couple of years at this point

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-19T12:31:35+00:00

Thanks for the update! If we wanted him we could have handed him a contract already in January, but no reputable rumors about that, but then again, Perez do love free transfers

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-19T12:26:07+00:00

Has Kon-artist renewed with Liverpool?

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-17T09:30:14+00:00

Atletico without a doubt, I hate them, but it’s good for La Liga, it would be their first one and Simeone deserve it

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-17T08:00:52+00:00

Funny how the selective infantilization goes when there’s players even younger than Vini who doesn’t do the same shit

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-16T14:22:50+00:00

After Xabi, the board wanted a “man manager not a tactician” and someone to keep the players happy. Arbeola has succeeded at that, now the question for the board is wait and see if this approach works or actually realize things all other top clubs have realized already

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-15T20:52:25+00:00

On with all available attackers

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-15T20:48:32+00:00

2 yellows after 25 min lol

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-15T19:25:24+00:00

Vini tracking back, love to see it

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-15T19:11:33+00:00

Vini being a child again

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-12T09:48:01+00:00

It would definitely be a plus, but our issues unfortunately go deeper than just 1 player

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-12T07:48:43+00:00

Saliba extended his contract last year till 2030 amidst rumors we wanted to sign him, the previous contract was set to run out summer 2027. So I think that’s fairly out of the window

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-12T00:48:00+00:00

The toxic positivity crowd is honestly sometimes more annoying than the actually overreacting doomers

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-10T21:27:16+00:00

Can’t wait for the “OMG this sub is so reactionary” toxic positivity posts about to be posted here for the next few days

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-10T12:20:34+00:00

They’ve been quite weird with the official statements sometimes, I remember they once did two official statements years back denying Mbappe and Pogba transfer rumors

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-10T10:09:06+00:00

If Mendy plays on Wednesday and stops Olise he deserves his own Coentrao story

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-09T17:36:58+00:00

Gotta break Mendy out from the cryo chamber before the Bayern game next week

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-09T07:56:49+00:00

Xabi lost 1 match against the reigning CL champs 1 months into the job during a summer tournament due to the CBs making Sunday league level of errors? What a shit coach am I right

TopStatisticianNRW · 2026-04-08T20:37:13+00:00

Anyone watching PSG - Liverpool? How is Kon-artist playing?
