It's called you haven't had enough exposure to different cultural usage of the English language. Just like an American would have trouble if he/she went to an English town somewhere. You pick up the gist, context, etc. Welcome. Pep is now teaching you how to be more attuned to football AND...

Re: Yaya Toure No clue. Can't say I've followed his personal life that closely. But, I just want to remind people lashing out rather harshly about Yaya, that they may be forgetting how much the death of a brother can affect someone or simply don't know how much a death can affect someone -...

Re: Yaya Toure Did anyone consider that Yaya might be in mourning? Something doesn't seem right and it probably will have a great chunk to do with his brother's passing. I'd hate to see Yaya leave this way, but I think the club is probably trying to wait this one out a bit since Yaya doesn't...

Man. Joined this forum quite late and am surprised by the vitriol of the comments. Is it always like this? Not to mention, the sheer unrealistic expectations and blindness of some of the armchair commentators on the pace, management, skill, and many different qualities to make, lead, and play...

Well said! Didn't notice this and it's so easy to judge things we only see on pitch. We really don't know what happens during training and how they are. We are so quick to judge. He really was distraught. Media has been on a warpath on him.

Great season. Trophies matter and I'm pretty sure the club is well aware of that more than we are. That being said, the football has been phenomenal. We are witnessing something really amazing lately and as long as we give it a go for everything, I think it's a success for me. We are making a...

We play 4-5-1 and we moan about naivete of Pellegrini. We play 4-5-1 and we say that we showed too much respect. Oh please. It was a tight tactical game that gave Barca possession like Barca always does. We kept them to minimum shots on goal in first half and even with ten men, had 9-10 shots of...

You guys jump so fast against our own players. He's more of a poacher. Many of his goals were from Aguero set ups, but the way he bullies players forward and plays hold up was working wonderfully with Aguero. Give him time. Sheesh.

We can nitpick all we want. It's easy in the comfort of our seats. He was doing alright, but that was really a no-win situation for him. He had to be perfect in that tackle and it's hard as it is when it is NOT Messi who you have to tackle as the last man. Was it Iniesta who assisted? Not sure...

Honestly, I think we should try not to consider Garcia's performance last year since... last year was a bit of an issue for most of our players due to the Mancini hooplah. From what we've seen this season, he does offer that stability and certain positioning as a decent holding mid. I don't...

New here so may have missed lots of previous talk, but I think you've gotta give, whether you like his "style" or not, respect for the man. Besides the fact that today certainly demonstrated the steel of the man, he sees football more completely rather than as something that is just "attacking"...
