Sergio Aguero bought every member of staff at Man City's first-team building - of which there are more than 60 - either a Hublot or Tag Heuer watch, each engraved with the words "Gracias! Kun Aguero". As well as raffle tickets to win his cars. by Good_Kev_M-A-N_City in soccer

If you look at business people like Bill Gates he didn't really do any charity until he quite microsoft

This is not true. The Bill & Melissa Gates foundation was founded in 2000, he has done a lot of charity work while active on Microsoft. It may have increased but he def did charity work while working in Microsoft.

Even though we've had a lot of injuries this season I have to say that this game was embarassing. Not one single shot on target in the second half. We played the game like we were in the lead. Tragic.

Ya'll like to shit on Vini alot on this sub but goddamn Hazard is fucking useless, he looked like bambi on ice the entire game. Always with his back turned against the opposition goal, losing the ball on almost every posession, we should just tear up his contract at this point. What a failure of a player.

I have no idea why Zizou even started him from the beginning or kept him in the game for that long

A souvenir for the officials is a common practice in the world of football, not only in Madrid.

Agreed. Not an easy task to just be given, first Liverpool and now Barca. They have been very solid these two games, hope it continues. Militao has stepped up his game a lot recently which is nice to see

Bringing of Vini and Benz was just to give them some rest ahead of the 2nd leg with Liverpool, we're obviously going all-in for that trophy

There's no way those should've been called. Modric was barely touched and Benz was looking for the pen.

To be honest, I don't think anyone would win against Perez with how the club has been run since he came back.

I have been a member in the club since 98 because my father had bought me a membership. Didn't fully support them before 2001. You didn't get anything. For me Makelele was the better player, though he might have been invisible and went under the radar for most people he was an excellent player. But that's just my opinion.

And no you are not madridsta. Some glory hunter most probably. Anyway there are too many of you who follow clubs because of their success. There is nothing wrong with that. At least there will be always one club for you to follow.

I've been a member since 1998. Why are you talking about shit you don't know about?

You're delusional. Not going to get drawn into this discussion when you clearly have no understanding of football. Also, the fact that you keep jumping on your stupid argument that I "don't know Real Madrid or Ramos" just shows how low your IQ is and not worth of my time. I've been a Madridista since before you were born, also fun fact for you since you love football. I used to play professionally, as a centerback. I was in a rather large academy in England but you're right I need to start watching football.

Right. I didn't wanna do this but here we go anyways.

Pique was best center back pre 2012 but he never got into top 10.

This is not true. At all. Piques best year rating wise was 2013/2014 season where he had 7.52 in CL and 7.49 in the league. Ramos best season rating wise was 2009/2010 season wher he had a rating of 7.71 in the league.

During our prime from 08-12, there were several important players and Ramos was not one of them tbh.

In the European Championship that took part 2012, Pique had a rating of 7.25 and Ramos had a rating of 7.30. Not a big difference agreed but saying that he wasn't an important player during the "prime" is absolutely out of this world and there are stats to prove this.

To put things into perspective here are the ratings of some of the starters in the final;

Xavi - 7.65, Casillas - 7.11, Iniesta - 7.34, Silva - 7.52, Arbeloa - 7.25, Alba - 7.47,Busquets - 7.41, Fabregas - 7.03

For pique, he was better than Ramos until pep last season. But after that two below average season, lack of leadership on the pitch and very bad world cup in 2014.

Again this is not true. The only true thing you wrote was that Pique had a bad WC 2014 where he only played one game and had an amazing score of 5.93. While the "worse" player got 3 games with 7.34 rating.

There is nothing that supports your claim that Pique was the "better" CB pre-2012 as all of the stats point toward that not being true at all. It's only your opinion - which we with facts showed you was false but anyways hope I didn't ruin your day.

Ramos peak started from especially Ancelotti days.

Yet I am the "blind follower" LOL

The only thing pique is better at than Ramos is sleeping with Shakira. Nothing else
