The TS is pretty clear that beauty is subjective in his post and title.
I've seen threads like these on other sites that become very interesting discussions on why some people like certain styles and it has helped dispelled stereotypes of each way of playing.
So if everyone present their opinions in a reasoned manner and take care not to do the "you are wrong!" argument, it can actually be enlightening.
But no offence to anyone, but I can see a Lowyat discussion degenerate quickly into mindless personal attacks, so I'm not hopeful.

well, TS intention is good, unless some flying baboon comes here and misdirect the topic itself.
anyway,
attractive football for me is successful one-touch passing and also a bloody super counter attack move, leaving the defenders flat on their butt. gives you an adrenaline rush seeing the outcome these two situations.
No I'm not blaming TS, I'm "pleading" other posters to show some class before anything starts

I like discussions more than anything, but like minority says, bashing can start from nothing in this forum

Anyways!
Crunching tackles can also form beautiful football, or rather a beautiful match..provided both teams go all out. Classic MU v Arsenal match anyone? Keane v Vieira provides the same adrenaline and pleasure to watch no? (btw it depends on what your definition of "crunching tackles" are. Not all hard tackles are foul-worthy.)
Generally fast tempo plays are nice to watch, provided they don't lose the ball every other time they try to play it fast.
