Bruh Bielsa is the only Argentine manager I can think of that would actually be able to get the best out of Messi at international level considering his the tactical legacy Pep owes to him and Messi's proclivity to those sorts of tactics.

>>76161058

They were unironically a top 7-8 team in the world at that time.

When was the point it all went to shit, lads?

I'd say 2003.

>Beckham going to Real Madrid.

I love that team to death, but honestly, Figo and Zidane were enough. Ronaldo was too much and Beckham felt like an overkill. Florentino wanted to God mode through Europe, and I'm glad it blew in his face.

>Abramovich bought Chelsea.

It became cool to pump truckloads of money into a club, and the Arabs soon followed suit like stupid bandwagoning bitches.

>TSUUUUU signed with United.

Literally The Phantom Menace IRL. Nice ugly kid who in his first seasons he tried spinning and other good tricks, but fast forward to today and he has become more of a machine than a man. And all the young players Kylo Ren him and want to be like him, more than they want to be actually good footballers.

There are literally no based players left. Only Zlatan, but his career is basically over. Same with Buffon. LCIM could be one, but he has some beta qualities.

We now have only dabbing niggers, twink fuccbois and crybabies who can't take losses.

>>76163302

Having grown up as a City fan in the nineties and suffering absolute hell under Swales and then Franny Lee running the gaff, not to mention Alan fucking Ball, while them cunts from Trafford hoovered up every trophy going and made my school life a misery, I laugh my balls off every single day now.

I remember that squealing ginger idiot declaring that Martin Buster Phillips would be England's first ten million pound player. I remember 'What time is it? Five past Immel'. I remember Kinky being the only hope of getting your money's worth, if only the beautiful fat little cunt turned on the magic that week.

Thank fuck for David Bernstein, Joe Royle and then Kevin Keegan, who gave me my favourite ever City season in 01-02 when Benarbia and Berkovic ripped the absolute shit out of Division One and it didn't matter if we conceded three cos you knew we'd get a fourth off Shaun Goater's arse.

Those days made us. Thirty-four thousand in Maine Road every other week in Division Two was spectacular and none of you johnny come lately newfags will ever understand what it was like. York City away in the late nineties, fucking hell.

Also, Andy Morrison.
