I thought you supported "underdog" teams

I do. Screw bigger than big clubs.

Well as of right now we have a better striker, who will probably leave soon but at least not for free like the polish whore

Cue Basil Fawlty "You invaded Poland."

Meh Atletico loses their strikers all the time as well

Not really, Atleti have only lost Torres, Forlán, Agüero, Falcao and Costa...

Ramos: Ancelotti's Madrid were better
Sergio Ramos has suggested Real Madrid were a superior force under Carlo Ancelotti in 2014, despite winning the Champions League last season and leading LaLiga under Zinedine Zidane.

Ancelotti took Madrid to their long-awaited tenth European Cup triumph in May 2014, before capturing the Club World Cup seven months later.

The Italian left the club after failing to win a trophy in 2014-15, with his successor Rafael Benitez then sacked in January.

Former Madrid star Zidane, who had served as Ancelotti's assistant, was promoted from his role with the 'Castilla' reserve side and promptly led the senior team to more continental glory in May, orchestrating a penalty-shootout triumph over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final at San Siro.

That victory has afforded Madrid, who hold a six-point leader over title-holders Barcelona in LaLiga, another opportunity to be crowned Club World Cup winners.

Speaking to FIFA's website as Madrid prepare to open their campaign against Club America in Yokohama on Thursday, Ramos hinted the team of 2013-14, which contained the now-departed Sami Khedira, Angel Di Maria and Iker Casillas, may have been a marginally better outfit.

"Every season is very intense but I think that one, with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, was very consistent," he said, when asked to rank the 2014 and 2016 sides.

"I think we played truly excellent football and we maintained our rhythm."

Nevertheless, the experienced defender believes Madrid are also performing strongly under Zidane, as they seek to win LaLiga for the first time since 2012.

"We're doing a good job," he said.

"The structure and the core of the squad is the same, and that's healthy for the team. We've got a better understanding with each other, and we're on the same wavelength on the pitch too. The team's reaping the benefits of that. We've got a good mix of veteran and young players.

"We want a happy ending to what's been a good year for us. Being in Japan is a prize for us and we want to take the final reward with us."

If you consider their performances in the only CL that season then I would agree.They had a much tougher road than this year and they played very exciting,attacking football against the best sides and thrashed them,with one exception in one leg.This team is pretty the same other than Di Maria.
Ancelotti has always been one of favourites,he turned park the bus Chelsea into a great attacking team for one season too.

EMERGENCY

Who do I captain for this Tuesday/Wednesday? Costa, Hazaaa, Alexis, Lukaku???

----

Also, does this count as a double GW? Meaning if I use triple captain, does it count for today and the weekend?

Don't captain Hazard.

DGW don't happen until later in the season when teams need to catch up due to FA Cup matches and that.

Classic Vlad.

1st question: General question about music

2nd question: Where are you from?

3rd: So, tell me about gangs, guns and some general negative shit that I can get hits from...

Fucking vulture.

You know what you're are getting yourself into with a vlad interview he pays his bills with stirring shit up. UK interviewees aren't interested in talking bollocks like most he talks to.

Did you watch the mark duggan docu on bbc?
