>Footballers were real men, not useless instagram faggots. >Every league in Europe was much more competitive. >Serie A was the SHIT, the Premiership was full of passionate alcoholics who played their hearts out, Primera Division wasn't a two horse race, due to Deportivo, Valencia and Mallorca, the Bundesliga was the most fun it ever was and even Celtic and Rangers were somewhat decent teams, compared to now. >The best football kits ever got.

I miss it, lads.
I wish there was some kind of full 1999-00 mod for PES or something.

Didn't Parma go bust twice after that?
I recall them having about 100 players on that third-party ownership shit when they died in 2015.

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.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krzysztof_Warzycha speaking of Panathinaikos, there is Krzysztof Warzycha 390 apps (245 goals) before, it was coach Jacek Gmoch poles contributed to greek football
Dominic Moore
arsenal squad was like 2 times better than ours indeed, but our lads managed to do that somehow, still cant believe. we even beat halal madrid at supercup afterwards, still dont know how it happened, but im sure it wont happen again ;_;
They were unironically a top 7-8 team in the world at that time.
Andrew Lopez
I remember Turks from 2008 though, I loved your last-minute-goal team Literally the soul of the tournament
Josiah Myers
well if it's any conciliation arsenal only had a few more years of success before becoming the bottlejobs they are now
Brandon Young
they are playing the playoffs to get in SerieB tomorrow you liar

Just today played against some guys and a kid
Landon Perez
You live in Uruguay though.
That's like saying you played a video game at Nintendo's factory.
Ayden Brown
quite literally the only reason you think so because you were still a kid back then and everything seemed more "magical"
Aaron Gonzalez
yeah 2008 squad had nice spirit, now we got soulless meme guys like pic related that think they are messi or some shit so noone can critisize them. hope our new gen players like ünder,ünal,mor etc can fix our NT as it's absolute shit atm.
hagi, şaş and taffarel were really really good indeed. others were good too, but that 3 was really good.
btw şaş was literal crazy lel
Brandon Powell
people will be saying the exact same shit in ten years
>remember riyad mahrez and jamie vardy >now sunderland just win the league every year

Mason Moore
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.

Evra still playin desu

I can't even conceive how gay, immoral and greedy they will be in 10 years or so.

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.
