Yep free transfer from a team in the German 2nd Division.
Smallest squad in the PL despite medua saying we have the biggest and deepest.
To add to 15 million Akanji, 11 million Alverez, youth products like Foden, Bobb, Lewis, Silva mid 20 million and a team with 6 other teams with a higher net spend in the last 5 years

On Sky, can’t remember who said it (Redknapp?):

“City have the best squad, 2 top players in every position”

No we don’t, we have a core of brilliant players and young prospects, many of whom are adaptable at playing in different positions, directed by Pep who is a genius.

Does anyone think Tront would have been playing for the Dippers in an inverted role if Pep hadn’t first operated with Johnny Stones in that position?

Look at Gvardiol, out and out Centre Back, £70m, lot of money but the lad is brilliant and no other top club would have played him as an attacking left sided defender.

This team, this Club, this Manager, fuck me, it’s footballing Shangri-La.

Listening to talkshite on the way back from spurs last night. The entire show was about how spurs had thrown the match or celebrating City winning, absolutely nothing about us winning. The other thing was their complete disrespect for West Ham, saying that the title is already run. Thank fuck Pep won’t be so daft, discounting a team with Paqueta Bowen Kudus Antonio Ward Prowse etc. Clowns

You're being a bit harsh there, calling those players clowns.
 
You have to cut these 'journalists' some slack. Their world has been turned upside down.

They have been used to writing puff pieces about the same 2/3 clubs for many years, and then about 15 years ago, they realised their world was under threat. The re gurgitated crap was no longer usable in this new world and they had to actually start thinking about what this new order meant for the league and for them. It would start to affect their relationships with certain clubs, if they reported truth and facts, and all that they had written before became irrelevant.
Any investigative journalist would have been asking early doors, why the new 'financial controls' pivoted from debt to income and why now. Since then, they have ignored every opportunity to question and present a balanced view.

The one thing you can't forgive them for is their complicity in supporting a corrupt and unfair system where the majority of clubs have to accept their place in the pyramid.
 
‘Naturally most of this belonged in the realm of online silliness, and soon enough pre-game ambivalence gave way to a thrumming, relentless opening, a kind of Total Angeball: four midfielders, two wingers, no strikers, the kind of lineup Pep Guardiola used to put out when he still had ideals.”

Talk sport talking about spursy spurs fans enjoying the defeat but completely ignoring the worst United XI against arsenal in 30 years is bang on brand.

Exactly, Spurs put up a much better fight than the rags. The crowd got behind spurs in the 2nd half aswel. The players and manager were clearly up for it. Talksport are gutted and bitter.

Piers Morgan on talkshite having a meltdown ….. PMIAC
Click to expand...
I chucked on talksport for the first time in ages just for the giggles
PMIAC is also the biggest fucking hypocrite in the country

Calling spurs fans treacherous
PMIAC authorised fake pictures of British troops with bound prisoners, which placed our armed forces in even more danger

Slagging spurs fans for not getting behind the manager
how many times did PMIAC have a go at wenger or arteta in his first two seasons!

PMIAC said West ham should be motivated to do it for Declan Rice
Was PMIAC happy for Samir Nasri to win the league with us or Van Persie with the rags, or were they traitors?

PMIAC also said that WHU have the players to hurt us.
Two minutes later he said the wobble at Christmas has cost arsenal especially getting beat by West ham and if you want to win the league you shouldn't be getting beat by the likes of them

Brilliant! The Temps! That track is just SO appropriate!

And Smokey's production, with the strings and all that, just sums up the warm feeling after what The Lads achieved last night to put us on the brink of a never done before FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TITLE!

Muchas gracias, you've sorted out what's going to be my 'earworm' for the rest of the day.. 'I guess you'd say/ What can make me feel this way?/ My team, talking about my team..'!!

Great idea. I may include Lovely Day (Bill Withers) and Can't get next to you (Temptations) just for the intro!
 
I do love the constant talk about "2 players in every position" that came with Ortega's performance last night. Every team in the league has a squad of players. We've spent a lot of money but others have spent more. The truth is that Pep uses his squad over the course of the season in order to ensure people are fit and firing at this time of the year, and everyone is mentally ready to do what it takes. Arsenal have signed plenty of players, and through good fortune they've not had too many injuries. But they were literally swapping keeper every other game at the start of the season, so it's not particularly noteworthy we've got someone on the bench who can also do a job.

If we had two world class players for every position why did Pep field the same starting eleven for two away games in the space of three days? It’s the same old bollox.
