Fair play to Nathan there.

Nathan's comments have made a mockery out of what the Rag fanboy Sam Luckhurst stated in the MEN. Yet another own goal from the local paper that seems to enjoy trashing its local audience.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the apology to Pep from the MUEN and the Sun

'claims lip reader'? Jaysus, they are the pits

 

[nmc]

That's because the narrative will shift to "Liverpool product Raheem Sterling..."

Who they bought from QPR !

Andy Dunn joining in now. Apparently Redmond should be praised for not punching Pep.




Am I the only one bemused as to why none of these journalists have spoken to Redmond about how he feels? He would have had to walk through the mixed zone, they could all contact him directly on twitter (a surprisingly common form of journalist-player contact these days) and yet no one has relayed if Redmond cared about it at all.

Andy Dunn - seen him on Sunday Supplement - complete freeloader that guy. Hasn’t got an original thought in his head. The Sam Allardyce of sports journalism. Sources his stories in the pub over a lager top and a packet of pork scratchings.

I think most people in and around football don't actually understand"Pep the football man". The man has a passion for how the game should be played. It's not about gaining an advantage for his team, its not about telling other teams how they should play to suit us, it's not even about winning or losing. It's about how the game should be played, in spirit, as an art, as a discipline as a spectacle the paying fans can appreciate and enjoy, win or lose.
Last night's "conversation" with Redmond wasn't about telling them how to set up so to make it easier for us to play against them, it was about saying " you're better than this". Pep probably lost it a little last night, but it wasn't because Southampton made it difficult for us to win, it was because he can see that the game that we all love is being transformed and mutilated in front of our very eyes from the beautiful game that it can be into a hideous borefest that has to be endured by millions of fans up and down the country.

This.
Beyond his passionate involvement in all things City, Pep seems to be even more passionate about football itself as "the beautiful game"

Very favourable. Higginbottom described City as best team in Europe by a distance.

Yeah just been watching it,have to say sherwood can’t praise pep and city enough,and also called out so called pundits slagging off sterling..

 

[davek1808]

Yeah it's very refreshing but no doubt when that fucker stelling gets on his soapbox on Saturday things will get back to normal.

When he first started his pundit career I was thinking here we go another ex-rag on the gravy-train, he has pleasantly surprised me.

Hahaha I actually like Jeff stelling and soccer Saturday,although have the last number of weeks been flicking over to bt’s version ...

Fair play to the Sun for employing a partially sighted lip-reader. At least they are an equal opportunities employer.

 

[Paladin]

Now the man himself.

There’s one lip reader who will shortly to be looking for retraining and a new job.

 

[Impeccable One]

As it’s clear Pep wasn’t saying anything bad to Redmond, I now expect him to be hauled in front of the FA on tapping up charges !

 

[inchy14]

Why are they even comparing Pep talking to Redmond on the pitch after a game to Mourinho kicking a water bottle or stepping onto the pitch 'during' a game? They're not even comparable ffs. And i don't remember the same furore when Wenger got sent to the stands at old trafford for kicking a water bottle either.

I'm fairly certain there's an actual law regarding kicking of objects that sends managers directly off as it's some H&S bollocks, can't find it though.
