Just before we went out on delivery this morning, I put on my City hat, as it was bloody freezing.

One of the rags shouted, "Take that off, it’s offensive!"

I simply replied, "Mind the gap!"

Keep hearing about how Pep inherited a much better squad than Maureen, pretty much entirely because he's managed to improve and get the best out of some of the players he inherited while Maureen has only managed to get a tune out of the tallest ones. Take a look at the players he inherited and imagine what Pep would have gotten out of them. That King Louis team had stacks of incredibly highly rated attacking young players, all of whom have now gone backwards or been fucked off under Mourinho

Yet the beginning of last season Sterling was crap, De Bruyne a Chelsea flop, Silva finished, John Stones a liability, Otamendi(see Stones), Kompany past it, geriatric fullbacks, Ilkay constantly injured, and the less said about Joe Hart...

Now, all of a sudden, Pep has inherited the Harlem globetrotters. They don't half talk shite.

It seems the Chinese rags are as similarly lacking a sense of irony as the local rags.

They play West Brom this weekend. Are either of these fuckers going to cross the half way line.
We could have a Mexican standoff.

Yup. Had the squads been reversed you'd be hearing about how Pep inherited young world beaters in Shaw, Martial, De Gea, Rashford, Herrera, Depay, Januzaj, Jones, Rojo, Darmien etc and "everyone always knew Juan Mata was the best player in the league". Meanwhile poor Peg would be bemoaning that he only inherited over the hill dross like Clichy and Fernando.

That should be changed to born inbred.

[I'm With Stupid]

He's never looked right since he joined them to me. All that stuff at the beginning about his family refusing to move to Manchester and living out of a hotel. He's supposedly always wanted to manage them but he's never looked like he wanted the job imo. That coupled with the knowledge that his methods are becoming increasingly obsolete. It's no wonder he looks haunted, he's essentially yesterday's man at yesterday's club and he knows it.

He's like the world class sprinter who peaked at the same time as Usain Bolt. Yeah, he gets the odd win, but he's ultimately going to be overshadowed by going up against one of the all-time greats. He's Don Revie to our Brian Clough. The Damon Hill to our Michael Schumacher. Let's be honest, in any other season, their record is nothing to be ashamed of. Admittedly, they should be ashamed of the shite football they play in any season.
