Would it get boring supporting Barca?

nah it never gets boring smashing nearly every side in the league, it's entertainment and that's what football is about. They're a wonderful team, credit to them.

I'm sure it's great if you're a Barca fan, also it's not as if they do it every season, like all clubs they have their highs and lows and Real will come good again sooner or later.

You have to give credit to them too, while they're by no means perfect they do try to play an attractive style and care about bringing through youth, 2 things I'm sure most fans want to see as well as winning.

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.


If barca have an off day they could get beaten by a lesser team. They have done in recent seasons.
However when your strike force is the greatest the game has seen its hard to be beaten.

And no it wouldn't get boring because they know it won't last forever.

No it wouldn't, you'd just savour it for however long it lasts, because it's something special.

my flatmate supports barca (don't ask me why)
I have to literally hold myself back from smashing him in the face when he starts mourning about bad referees costing them a goal in a game they end up winning 5-1. Or the strikers being wasteful after winning 3-0.

That would be a firm no given a lot of the $hite we've had to endure this season.

You'd be bored watching 7 of the 10 best players (including the GOAT)rip teams apart? Savor it because they are probably the greatest club side of all time. Or you'd rather pay the premium to see 20 headless chickens charge at one another?

Can't get too bored watching one of the best teams ever assembled. Efficient, deadly and entertainers. What's not to like? When people debate whether they'd cut it in the prem you have to laugh, on this seasons prem they'd have pretty much seen it up by now.

I certainly won't be bored watching the game against arsenal.

I would have got bored of the Pep Guardiola Barcelona. This one under Luis Enrique is different.

To be fair, we had a similar stroll to the title in the PL at the very start of the 00's.

Won the treble in '99, then the title by 18 points from Arsenal, scoring 97 and only losing three in 99-00. Then winning it by 10 points the season after in 00-01.

It did get predictable from week-to-week, we usually won, comfortably, it's pretty similar to what the likes of Barca and Bayern (maybe PSG?) are going through now.

I didn't find it boring but it was predictable, seemed to affect us a bit in Europe as well, couldn't seem to get the intensity back up to reclaim the CL.

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?!

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.
....................
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

Yep, you'd get bored watching proper entertaining attacking football with the 3 best footballers in the world.

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.
