I wasn't talking player by player. I was asking if the whole Barca team was offered to us as one package, with the goods and the bads, would we take it because we would improve our team's chances for success and because we'd love to see our team play beautiful football, or would we reject it because "some of them dive"? Which would be more important for us?
Not sure I need to clarify this though..
Both of ya are close buddies when it comes to Berba. Randall likes a moan about quite a few things though

Don't we just know it.
I like how here came into this thread with no point to make, it just seemed like a good place to have a moan.
sure, i want titles, and i think the barcelona team is better than ours
and i'm only loyal to whom is loyal to me
so why should i stay loyal to rooney? specially him,
or vidic, ferdinand, evra, carrick, berbatov and every other footballer in manchester that was bought from other club?
what? they werent loyal to their former club, but they will be loyal for us?
or do you think that given the proper amount of money they will leave us with no problem?
as i said, i want gold, silver, tin, and wood
What about Scholes,Giggs,Cleverley and Welbeck?
what? why not? didn't we ever sell a player that comes from the youth sistem?
beckham, neville, want me to go on?
The example of a massive derby between bitter rivals where they are both cnuts to degrade a team is a bit off. I didnt see much bull shit from Barca in either match against United, or even when United beat them over two legs, they didn't moan about that.
They have there bad eggs but even a good player who doesnt dive or cheat can be dragged into it in a match as emotionally charged as against your bitter rivals.

Those players are part of the fabric of this club. Trophies aren't everything. Its not about just assembling the best players in the world, it's about bringing them up with the history of the club and the way we try to play football, the United spirit. It's about achieving success based on the fruits of our own labour.
i see ... and beckham and phill neville werent part of fabric of this club? they were
and did we sell them? we did
and we sold so many players that you could say that were part of the fabric of this club
What a pointless discussion based on a ridiculous hypothetical situation. Anyway 90% of our squad would move to Barca if they were given the chance, so I don't think they should expect our undying loyalty. People need to bear in mind that these players are also payed ridiculous amount of money for the loyalty. We can also easily buy players that can become part of the fabric of the club.
Just look at Cantona, Keane and Evra.

I think you're just being deliberately contradicting. I don't think if it was offered to you, you would swap our entire squad for Barcas. I also think you realise that there is more to our club than winning trophies and having the best players. Anyways if I am wrong, you are entitled to your opinion. It's friday night and I'm gonna go get wasted and laid. Have fun on the interwebs you Argie bastard

have fun mate! see you tomorrow in the matchday thread?
Yeah, nothing tougher than insulting people on the internet, big boy!
If you decrease the rate of your stupid posts then you're likely not to get abused.We're prone to stupidity and some of us more than others
You seriously need to get a life. (outside the internet)
Funny to say to someone living in Africa. Just wouldn't have thought of a situation where someone would say it.
Average age of the poster in this thread before my post: 12.

Are you ladies on your periods?
Because Africa is generally portrayed in the minds of Europeans as a hard place to live and everyday is a struggle for life.
Having a life doesn't really mean "quality of life". Having a life means having a REAL life, in which somebody has friends, family, work, real people to talk with, real people to beat, real people to love...etc.
I'm sorry that you totally missed the point. Don't take it too seriously. Nothing was meant by it. I just found it a bit humorous.
No problem. With the kind of posters we're dealing with here, you'd expect everything.. Just look at the posts below yours..
They should just close this thread. Not a lot of sense it in or rational discussions. I don't even remember any funny moments either.
Haha this post is like a deliberate attempt to derail the thread.
It wasn't one though
Valencia - Barcelona!
How much have they paid the referee and the linesman? Worst decision ever! Unbelievable. I give up!

Pinto took the ball outside the penalty area. They will show the replay's later.
Soldado was free, he tried to nudge the ball past Pinto, who dived and saved it with his hand outside the area, but it wasnt given.
thanks 7even and sylar
I know this is off topic, and probably silly, but I don't care because I hate seeing this thread title.
"Facing Barcelona is the ultimate test because they are the best team in the world. Afterwards you need a week to recover because your concentration has been allconsuming, and therefore it's utterly exhausting. Barca play the sort of football I aspire to, the sort that anybody who plays the game, and really knows the game, would like to emulate."
-- Paul Scholes
