Let me share some unique Barcelona soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

Or you can just say lol Barcelona matches are boring and hate them.

The leaf miner moth presents a serious threat to that most beloved of British trees, the horse chestnut. These tiny mites have attacked one particular breed of tree and done so with such cruel efficiency that it has rendered the future of conkers in Britain tragically uncertain. Meanwhile ash dieback is a fungus that attacks its prey with savage speed, killing juvenile trees with the efficiency of an assassin. In the 1970s Dutch elm disease destroyed millions of elms across the country. So if it can happen to trees, what if some foreign critter crept into the country undetected and started to attack football pundits? Granted, this is scientifically impossible, but go with me here. Let’s say that, as soon as the problem was identified, a house was built within a totally safe exclusion zone but only big enough to house one pundit’s ego. Who would you put inside? I would unhesitatingly send in Souness, whose tactical acumen is strong, who hands out praise and condemnation with even-handed sense and whose range of exasperated facial expressions is second to none.

Arsenal, with Mislintat as head of recruitment is different. I feel that we have a chance to be something of a middle-ground for Unai between PSG and Sevilla, with the money and stature to buy higher quality players then Sevilla could afford, but also the brains to not get bums who will not want to play for us. To use an American analogy, think the difference between the Oakland Athletics version of Moneyball, led by Billy Beane and the Boston Red Sox version of the same led by Theo Epstein. One won the world series, the other lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Despite being a United fan, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Liverpool. Over the years, Liverpool has produced many entertaining, if not always brilliant teams. No matter how far behind they may be in the league, they have always given their utmost in matches against United ensuring the matches between the two sides have usually produced nail biting entertainment. I refer to the Ferguson era of course.

Steven Gerrard is one of my favourite footballers of all time and I have enjoyed following Brendan Rodgers’ career since his almost title winning season in the PL.

One thing that has made it a lot harder to like them has been the Liverpool fans who seem to be the loudest, most obnoxious of the bunch. I am sorry. We develop our biases based on our limited interaction and it’s quiet possible that my perception on this issue is entirely incorrect.

However, since Klopp’s arrival I have started liking the team more and more. I absolutely adore their front three who are (each one of them) an absolute joy to watch.

The icing on the cake is that three of their players are Muslims and they are out proving to the world that not all Muslims are terrorists and anyone who believes they are is an absolute cretin.

So more power to Liverpool for all these reasons. If it were not for Ronaldo, I would probably have been hoping for a Liverpool win (something I didn’t think was possible even a year ago) but as it stands, I am a complete neutral and will be happy with whoever wins as long as we get a great game.

I do maintain that Liverpool have had one of the easiest roads to the final in recent memory. However, it does not mean that if they win the title they will be any less deserving of it.

What? Maybe not that actual term moneyball, but sabermetrics and the ridiculous analyzing of stats is at the core of American sports right now. All these dumb advanced stats and analytics have stemmed from the moneyball revolution.

NBA has Moreyball. NHL has some weird advanced analytics that I know nothing about. The NFL is also doing the same thing. Moneyball was literally just looking at advanced statistics rather than traditional statistics. Which America is obsessed with right now.

That quote from that guys stupid post about an American analogy of moneyball actually makes no sense unless he's expecting Mislintat to delve into some super deep soccer analytics.

But you are correct, nobody talks about Billy Beane's A's anymore, they didn't even win! (The pitching staff owned, though)

Not true. People talk about them when the sewer system in their decrepit stadium backs up and the locker room floors get covered in liquid poo poo, which happens a good 2-3 times a year.
