How people can find watching possibly the best club team ever boring I'll never understand.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Jesus! Calm down, I'll leave.
Sorry, to gatecrash you two's Messi love fest and being a party pooper.

Osacuna were better in the 1st half than Fulham were yesterday.

Instead of making a mockery out of it, you could actually adress my argument... Fulham (14th in the league) were destroyed without even needing RVP, the most in-form striker at United; Osasuna (20th in the league) were 1-1 against Messi, Xavi, Villa until they got a man sent off. How is that worse?
Messi is ridiculous. Although Osasuna's high line was a bit ridiculous in the first half.
If my calculations are correct, Messi is already 10 goals up on this time last year.
He has been a bit underwhelming in the past 2-3 games for me though. Looks more lively in this game, but also more imprecise in his passing and dribbling.
somewhere i saw a comparative chart can't find it now
It's a crime to waste a pass like that, Alexis..
villa can't score
he turned into barcelona's anderson
he turned into barcelona's anderson
At least he's still better than Sanchez.
Shakira. Commentators are clueless.
Alexis Sánchez
Oh my Sanchez.
I think Messi didn't make more poor touches in last two years than he did tonight, and he still scored 4
He's clearly not fully fit. He doesn't run, doesn't tackle, and avoids any contact..
Something like this:
Those are league goals by the way.
yes! were did you get it?
I know, he was in doubt to start a game in first place.
That was the worst pass I've ever seen Messi make, I think not even close
not even closeIt was me who uploaded it by getting his league goals from his career. I am currently thinking about creating one from the start of his career in La liga for each month played.
ah, ok, great chart
Sanchez just isn't good enough to be a regular for Barca.
Agreed. Pedro and Iniesta as the inside forwards seems to be their best set-up.
How are Tello and Cuenca coming along? Havent seen much of them this season. They looked decent whenever I saw them play last season.
Every other forward in Barça is cursed it seems, they just can't score.
brilliant pass to villa, but he misses
Villa can't buy a goal.
So, with that in mind, since Messi joined La liga, he has missed 67 games due to injury, holidays, rest, away with the national side and missed a game due to suspension. He has also had his name on the teamsheet but was never used as a substitute in many of the 67 games. He has scored 202 out of the 237 games he has scored in and provided 95 assists. He has scored a total of 119 in his last 100 games (la liga) he has played.
Málaga already 2 up at Mallorca, Saviola and Isco.
I believe that Malaga deserve to be in and around the top 4-5 places in La Liga, for the way they have taken on the big teams, a great all-round effort from one of the best managers in La Liga.
Definitely, I hope they can keep their players and build on this season. My main concern for them is their lack of squad depth. They've potentially done a brilliant piece of business by getting Diego Lugano on loan (not sure on how valuable Lucas Piazon will be), but they are in desperate need of a consistent goalscorer. Santa Cruz and Saviola have their days, but they're not at all consistent enough.
It doesn't matter if they finish 4th or 5th, they're not playing in Europe next season anyway. I wonder how these players find motivation to play so well in the league and win games, once CL restarts they will surely focus on that though.
Well, they've petitioned their exclusion with TAS/CAS, and several clubs they "owe" have declared everything's in order. I hope UEFA revise their decision on the matter.
Courtois making an excellent point-blank save, but Athletic score on the resulting corner.
Now Iraizoz with a great save. Both keepers have been outstanding.
Athletic's revenge, 2-0! Susaeta
