BUT WHICH CLUB WAS BETTER BARCELONA OR BAYERN MUNICH.

  So actually which club was the better one between the Spanish giants Barcelona and the German giants  Bayern Munich, is the question.

 Barcelona won all six trophies in a single year in the year 2009. Bayern Munich have done it in the year 2020/2021.

 But there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the Barcelona team under Pep Guardiola  , was a far better and more talented players..

 They had Lionel Messi, Ronaldhino, Henry, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez , Javier Masherano, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique,  Samuel Etoó,Victor Valdez.

 While Bayern Munich depend heavily on Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba.

 So when you see the names of the Barcelona team, it sends shivers  down your spine.

EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AT BARCELONA?

  When a football giant from any country suddenly falls in the table hen it is worrying times for all concerned.

 So let us take the case of F.C. Barcelona here a club that had many, any talented players from allover the world. But all good things have to come to end sadly.

 The Barcelona lost very good players  due to retirement and aging .And many retired or moved on very near to each other.

 So players like 1) Carl's Puyol 2) Danni Alves, 3) Javier Mascherano,4) Andres Iniesta, 5) Ronaldhino, 6) Xavi Hernandez, 7) Victor Valdez, 8.) Ivan Rakitic.. 9) Thierry Henry.  10) Samuel Eto'o 110 Luis Suarez 11)Neymar.

 So where are  you going  to replace these stars, and what about the price the club will have to pay to buy players who are half as good as these players.

SADLY THE GREATEST ERA IN BARCELONA HISTORY IS COMMING TO A END.

It is a fact time waits for no man, and Barcelona are sadly seeing a great number of players retiring after rendering very good and loyal service to their Catalunya club Barcelona, so in the last fifteen years we have seen some real giants and living legends hanging up their boots and retiring into the sunset.They have been greatly missed by fan and club. So let us see the list of the famous footballers of Barcelona who have retired in glory, playing for this big club. 1) Victor Valdes, 2) Eric Abidal, 3) Carle's Puyol,4) Dani Alaves,5)Andres Iniesta, 6) Xavi Hernandez,7) Javier Mascherano,8) Yaya Toure,9) Thierry Henry,10) Samuel Eto'o, 11) Pedro Rodriguez, 12 ) David Villa. Now only three players remain at Barcelona from this great team and era And they are also on the verge of retiring a few years they are 1)Lionel Messi 32 yeas, 2) Sergio Busquets, 3 years and Gerrard Pique,33 years.. I am sure you will agree here that to replace these 15 players at Barcelona will be next to impossible and that to very soon. But there is no gloom and doom at Barcelona a youngsters have graduated to fill these giant boots.

ARSENE WENGER NAMES HIS BEST SIGNING, IT WAS NOT THEIRRY HENRY.

Many Arsenal fans will say that Arsene Wenger best signing for Arsenal was Theirry Henry. But Arsenal will say that his best signing for Arsenal in his seventeen years at the Arsenal club, was really the Cameroon player Lauren. Lauren was a holding midfielder but also did the defender job in the matches. But we must know that he missed out on some famous footballers over the years. For example Petr Cech and Yaya Toure both were refused work permits. Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United , but please note Ronaldo became famous as a footballer at manchester United. He also did not get Dider Drogba from Marseille, we know Arsene Wenger likes to buy players from France as they are cheaper, and less demanding in wages then the English footballer, who are all overpayed, so English football suffer as they are not good.

THE EMIRATE STADIUM COSTS 390 MILLION POUNDS TO BUILD , BUT PLAYERS WERE SOLD .

When Arsenal moved from their old Stadium at Higbury to their larger stadium called THE EMIRATES STADIUM. Now to build a over 60,000 seater stadium cost a total of three hundred and ninety million pounds.It was taken on a loan. So Arsenal had to sell their players to generate those funds. Barcelona and Manchester City were the clubs that mainly brought the players from Arsenal, .Barcelona brought players worth 135 million pounds.The players are mentioned below. 1)Theirry Henry. 2) Marc Overmars. 3)Emmanuel Petit. 4)Alexander Hlep. 5)Giovani Bronchurst 6) Cesc Fabregas. Alexander Song was also sold to Barcelona much later after the money was all paid up. And some were sold to Manchester City. 1)Emmanuel Adebayor 25 Million. 2)Samir Nasri. 24 Million pounds.Gael Clichy 7 million pounds. 3)Kolo Toure. 16 Million Pounds. And Robin Van Persie was sold to Manchester United for 24 Million Pounds. And these players are valued at 96 million pounds. So in other words Barcelona have paid135 million pounds for Arsenal players or34.60 percent of the money. And Arsenal have paid255 million pounds or 65.4 percent of the money.

FIVE BEST STRIKING PEARS IN ENGLAND AND THE E.P.L.

 Before we put Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge as the best striking pear let us  look at these five pairs.
1) Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush . Liverpool.    1980 TO  1987.           Games 242. Goals 224
2)Gary Lineker and Peter Beardsley. England. !989 TO 1991.             Games 39. Goals 33.
 3) Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. Arsenal.. 1999 TO 2006.      Games 225.   Goals 183..

MESSI BREAKS MULLERS RECORD.

Lionel Messi made his way into the record books , he has finally broken the record of the most goals scored in a calender year, he has now scored 86, eighty six goals.That is one more goal then the great German goal machine Gerd Muller who scored 85 goals for Bayern Munich in the year 1972. The critics will say let Lionel Messi score in the E.P.La total of 86 goals then we can agree. It is because he plays at Barcelona and gets assists from Xavi and Andea Iniesta that he scores these goals.But please remember all strikers need assists to score goals.But Lionel Messi has netted more of them. I would like to ask why tWayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie or even Henry or Bergkamp failed to do it. The calender year was there for them to do it in the E.P.L.And Ronaldo had his year at Real Madrid to do it as well. Sorry Cristiano Ronaldo THE BALLON dOR is decided already this time. Not only is Messi the greatest footballer, he is equally humble, like things Ronaldo lacks greatly.

WHEN IBRAHIMOVIC SLIPPED THROUGH ARSENALS FINGERS.

Twelve years ago a young Zalatan Ibrahimovic came to Arsenal, Arsene wenger gave him the famous Arsenal jersey with the number 9 on it. But Arsene Wenger told him he would like to try Zalatan Ibrahimovic out on the pitch. Here the big ego of the big Swede came in , he just walked out of the pitch insulted. But Arsene Wenger was perfectly correct in wanting to try him out. Zalatan Ibrahimovic then joined Dutch giants Ajax instead, from there he has moved a great deal all over Europe, he has played for Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, A.C.Milan and now P.S.G. But he must be bitterly disappointed with his move, the year he left Inter Milan to join Barcelona , Inter Milan won the Champion league, and when he left Barcelona, after his big ego clashed with Pep Guardiola , Barcelona won the Champion League. So a Champion League medal still eludes the big Swede This was reported in THE SUN. Zalatan ibrahimovic wanted a starting place at Arsenal, but with great strikers like Theirry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Sylvan Wiltord and Kanu , all great strikers, Ibrahimovic rejected the move and went to Ajax.

JUVENTUS NOW WANT ROBIN VAN PERSIE.

The Italian giants Juventus have now come forward to say that they are keen to buy the Dutch striker Robin Van Persie from Arsenal. The main reason is that they are now playing in the Champion League next year, after a gap of many years after their scandal and demotion as well. But it looks very unlikely that the Dutch striker will fall for it . He knows that careers of footballers were very much ruined in juventus as well as Italy. Players like Henry and Patrick Vieira went through hell at Juventus , just warmed the bench. Dennis Bergkamp had it tough at Inter Milan with Marc Overmars. Later all four joined Arsenal and the rest is history.Henry and Bergkamp scored sacks of goals Viera was Arsenal captain. Overmars the flying Dutchman was a terror on the field.He was sold for a record for a Dutch footballer of 25 million pounds.To Barcelona. Robin van Persie knows this is his last big contract , before he joins a smaller club. As he is 28 years old. There is every chance of him staying at Arsenal as he has brought a new house in London.

HENRY MAKES A VISIT TO LONDON.

Thierry Henry the former Arsenal striker, and their all time top scorer.
Made a flying trip from New York to London. As he plays his club football for the New York Red Bulls.The purpose of this quick visit, was to see his former youth team member Fab rice Moumba , who collapsed while playing a F.A. Cup match verses Tottenhem Hotspurs. The match was abandoned by referee Howard Webb.
Henry entered from the back door of the Chest and Heart hospital. He only spent a few minutes with Fabrice Moumba a, and then flew back to the U.S.A.But this gesture was very touching indeed.Because Moumba knew he would not get in the team , during the time of Henry.

WHEN ZALATAN IBRAHIMOVIC REFUSED TO JOIN ARSENAL.

It is a well known secret that Arsene Wenger the famous French coach of Arsenal, has a sharp eye for young talent around the world. Some he spotted and failed to get due to work permits and passport trouble are Petr Cech , Yaya Toure.
One player he wanted was Zalatan Ibrahimovic . But when Arsene Wenger asked him to show what he could do on the pitch, and if he is as good as Theirry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Mark Overmars and Robert Pires.
To this Zalatan Ibrahimovic was offended and the rest was history he joined Ajax, and then to Juventus, Barcelona, where there was a big swap for Samuel Etoo, joined A.c.Milan.

WELCOME SHAQUEEL VAN PERSIE TO ARSENAL.

It is no secret that Arsene Wenger has been known to sport real talent of young footballers at early ages and polish them up into sparkling Diamonds.Robin van Persie Henry, Fabregas are examples.
This could also be a way keeping the father Robin Van Persie at Arsenal, as his contract ends in a years time. And Manchester City and big clubs are already looking for a chance to get him.

PEOPLE ACCUSE WENGER OF BEING OLD INTHOUGHTS.

People accuse Arsene wenger of going back in thoughts and not having any vision for the clubs future.
But let me remind you that Henry was at Arsenal much earlier training during the off season.
Henry came as a substitute and did score a super goal, so his vision, skill, alertness was there yes his space has reduced no doubt.And he will be here till early March only.
Let me remind you that David Beckham did the same thing joining A.c. Milan from Te Los Angles Galaxy , to be in shape for the 2010 world cup.
It is funny not a word has been said about Paul Scholes coming out of retirement to play for Manchester United.
Henry had not retired remember that please.
