[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's the club I knew and loved before they broke into La Liga and became kinda competent lmao

Fuck Girona and what they stand for. Fuck all the clubs part of groups like the City group, Red bull, etc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well fuck you too. It’s nice having competent people run your club.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well fuck you City boy.

I hope you like to bend over everyday to a sport washing propaganda machine.

Enjoy your plastic trophies

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been enjoying them for the last 10 years. I wouldn't change a thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Plastic speech 100%

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What a bs they didn't get that much money. Look at their players. Savio failed at psv. Blind was a benchwarmer and joined as a free agent etc etc.

They're just well run.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure buddy, lets believe in that, just like UEFA believes City passed the FPF by having injection of millions in marketing sponsorships from newly created companies.

As an Ajax fan, you should be ashamed of yourself, this is an example how teams outside of the top5 are being pushed further and further away from the top of the pyramid due to actions outside of the pitch.

We're still talking about Girona yeah?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes and it is sad you can't see the bigger picture.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course they are well run, not denying it. Still a shame for football. It~s like City

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Girona's might is spiritual not material!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their new training facilities are looking good..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

how the hell are they first, what did I miss

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

This is the "small" team with the same owners of Man city?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And few City talents went there because Pep told them he’ll give them a chance in the future at City.

It’s a City feeder team basically.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There has never been a single Girona to City player promotion ever. It's always the other way around where a City academy player or CFG affiliate club player gets sent to Girona for professional minutes before getting sold

Girona is a CFG affiliate player mill, not a City feeder team

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The player mill is leading La Liga right now, fuckin hell

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Douglas Luiz is one of those ex Girona players.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like it is now going the other way...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes so don’t mind the hilariously Sunday league practice situation, they are not a fairy tale. They’ve spent 25 mil of infinite oil money!!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but La Liga rules dont allow them to spend the way City spends.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And Pep’s brother

Sheikh Mansour turn your attention down here

Why are PSG opposing construction of a training ground for Girona?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So is Girona's Cinderella year not just a product of them being a City Group owned team? Genuine question to those who know better, not an attempted slight against their success.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They've been owned by City for a long time and even got relegated.

They are really here on their own merit and Michel being a genius coach.

They've hardly spent - they can't really in La Liga

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly I’d be so excited to see a new team break into the upper crust in Spain (or anywhere in the world) but just like Leipzig, Newcastle, or City, it’s a bullshit rise fueled by financial injection. The players on Girona are doing a good job, full credit to them, but their rise can hardly be called organic.

Oh well, maybe Rayo can finally push into Europe instead of choking in March this season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Girona is an extremely underappreciated and underhyped team. They're leading La Liga and we're heading into December soon. I don't see nearly enough people and media outlets talking about them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We are living in some's Football Manager save

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They have City Football Club money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have friends with a vacation home there. I went to visit them and you can buy tickets to their games super cheap at the receptionist for the gym there, and can even take a stroll by the training grounds. We didn’t play a lick of golf though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Girona team's coach/captain is the anime protagonist. They have plot armour in this season to win the league.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But they do have one Artem Dovbyk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lmao why are people downplaying girona when they are actually good?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unió de Pagesos, l'Associació de Naturalistes de Girona i Salvem Vilablareix Rural ja han denunciat el procés al Síndic de Greuges i a la mateixa Comissió Territorial d'Urbanisme, per irregularitats

Literal farmer's league

Is this Catalan? It looks like un mézcla de español y francés

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Catalan pronunciation is nowhere like French pronunciation though. It's far more similar to Spanish than it is to French

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks like un mézcla de español y francés

That's the definition of Catalan

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As much as English is a mix of French and Dutch though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With some turkish sprinkled in there for good measure I think (not apparent in the text above though, but look at the Cant del Barça or even the word Barça)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People always say this but it's closer to Italian and Portuguese than French

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it looks and reads like some northern italian dialect mixed with spanish

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Catalan is incredibly similar to Occitan
