Would it get boring supporting Barca?

Continuously destroying team by 5 or 6 goals. Very few games a season that are even a challenge for them.

As United fans we know we are poor right now but at least we go into every game knowing that anything can happen and any result is possible.

Even when we were at our peak in my time watching United (07-09) there were very games that were a gimme in that period and there were still at least 5-6 teams in the PL that could beat us on their day let alone in Europe.

I just wonder sometimes does it ever get boring supporting the likes of Barca, PSG and to a lesser extent Bayern?

Absolutely no way would this be boring for Barca fans, especially when their eternal rivals are haemorrhaging money to try and catch them but keep failing miserably. In the last 7 years they've spanked Real Madrid 6-2 and 4-0 at the Bernabeu and 5-0 at the Camp Nou, what could possibly be boring about that?!

We went unbeaten in CL in 2007-2008 and went unbeaten again all the way to the final losing to Barcelona. We also kept an amazing clean sheet run in premierleague in 08-09 season.

It could never get boring watching that side, even as a neutral, let alone a supporter. But being successful should never be boring or taken for granted, as it won't last forever and you should cherish it.

I remember when I started watching football back in the mid nineties, we reached the cup final three years in a row. My old man told me to cherish every moment of it when we got to the cup final against Liverpool. I didn't understand it as I'd only started watching football two years earlier and we'd been in the cup final both years and thought we'd be there regularly enough. But he was right. An fa cup final would be special now.

So barca fans should never get bored of their current success as it won't be forever. They should appreciate it as much as possible though as what they are producing is sensational

All fans want to be entertained, and whilst expectation is bigger at some clubs than others, would any fan in their right mind think, 'I wish we had lost a more entertaining game than won a boring one'. All clubs go through up and downs, and a few years down the line Barca could be struggling (relatively speaking) and thinking 'remember the likes of Messi and co?' - as many Utd fans might feel right now.

in answer to he OPs question, yes.

But that is because I am a Man United supporter. I am sure I am speaking for most other football supporters of other clubs too.

Much rather pay to watch United than Barcelona. Why wouldnt I? there are even football fans in Barcelona who wouldnt watch them if you paid them.
