Are Barcelona even better than QPR circa 1976?

Posted by: Chillkram on 06 April 2010

Graeme Souness suggested that this Barca team may be the best club side ever to play football. That would mean that they are even better than the great QPR side of the mid-seventies which contained Stan Bowles and Gerry Francis. Could this possibly be true?!! Are they the best team ever to play the beautiful game?

Not at all. I'm well aware of the facts. Stan was my idol as a kid and I was a regular at Loftus Rd from 72 onwards. In fact the first game I saw was Rangers taking Carlisle apart 4-0 in the old second division in Stan's 3rd or 4th game for us.


I was there - it was like the ball was superglued to his foot.

Wow, a kindred spirit!
