The comments on the piece are good tho' there's the usual "petrodollar" trolling, but some balanced posts as well. I get the feeling that, outside of the expected neanderthals, normal followers of the game understand that all money does is buy you the opportunity to be great. Being great takes a hell of a lot more.The Mail's Jonathan Spencer ran his story with this banner headline -
"We have a lot of MONEY', says Pep Guardiola as boss refreshingly admits their £2BILLION spending is the main driver behind 19-game winning streak".
The simpleton has totally misunderstand that Pep was being sarcastic and throwing back at the press their accusations of "Buying the CL". What a naive dullard.
Where does he get £2bn from? Total bollocks. Pep is making fools out of them.The Mail's Jonathan Spencer ran his story with this banner headline -

Fans' coaches even a few years back got bricked a lot on both sides of Stanley Park and their windows weren't reinforced like the team bus. It was pretty horrible at Stoke when we got relegated because we were in the gaps between buses and couldn't see them coming but we all act differently.
I think we should have driven straight past Anfield and played the mard arse to our advantage by demanding the match be played behind closed doors or on a neutral ground.
On the face of it the attack worked.
He's a paid shit stirrer.Jim white. How is this bellend employed? Joke of a man.
Equally sad is the fact that if the Liverpool coach had suffered exactly the same treatment the sanction would have been different.Is the truth, sadly...
Don't you know it.Equally sad is the fact that if the Liverpool coach had suffered exactly the same treatment the sanction would have been different.
He certainly doesn't have much of a conscience.He's a paid shit stirrer.
Nedum absolutely killing it on SSN this morning. Articulate, insightful and funny. And even though he's a relative novice as a pundit himself, he’s clearly and generously helping his former teammate and co-guest Tom Carroll, who is on for the first time and obviously nervous
He follows whatever Sky/Talkshite tell him to do.He certainly doesn't have much of a conscience.
Not many do in the ethics-deficient media.
To be fair, and I don't like the bloke, Simon Jordan actually stood up for City. He said every team spends money and it was Pep that was the difference with us winning.Jim Sh*te on Talk Sh*te banging on about Pep's comments and City spending money. No mention of United, Chelsea, or the net spend Champions.
Many years ago a maritime distress rocket was fired deliberately seriously injuring a fan.Don't you know it.
I'd love to find out the truth of what went on in Klanfield.
Wouldn't surprise me if Pep did say shove it and the local dibble have him some BS about public safety and inciting violence between city fans and scousers had he refused to play.
As you say had it been the Scouse coach on the way to ours we'd be in the middle of a 5 year European ban and 20 points clear in the EFL after being demoted to league 2 for good measure. Pep would have won all the league's by February and their checkatrade trophy to prove a point.
Classic good cop/bad cop talksport. Transparent as anything.To be fair, and I don't like the bloke, Simon Jordan actually stood up for City. He said every team spends money and it was Pep that was the difference with us winning.
He did spoil it slightly by also saying if we don't win the quadruple it will be a failure.
Just check the HYS column on last nights game on the BBC Website.Do we have our daily ‘concern’ articles about slaves, state owned clubs, our 50 man squad, our £5b investment, oil money and the state of the game yet? It’s been 24 hours since I last saw some and I’m worried that I’ll forget the message.
For those who haven't seen Pep's money comments it's here at 10.20:
I loved it.
