Pep Guardiola was a professional footballer at one of the best clubs in the world from the age of 13, he played under some of the greatest and most influential coaches in the history of football in the most tactically demanding position, winning 6 league titles and a European Cup. After this, he became the youngest manager ever to win the CL and completed a sextuple in his second professional season. Since that day he has consistently won major trophies in 3 separate countries including a Treble and 4 in a row in England which has never been done before in the history of the world's oldest football league, winning 40 major trophies so far in his 20ish year career, a trophies per game ratio higher than every manager in the history of professional football with a decent amount of games managed.

Alex Keble has no football experience either in terms of playing, coaching nor professional analysis and studied English literature at University before getting his start writing for betting sites.

So no, I have no interest in his "critique" of Pep's tactics. I am sick of the uneducated eloquents critiquing Pep fucking Guardiola.

Are you saying that you don't know the difference between bemusing and amusing? The rest of the first few lines are factual (admittedly, I'd not actually checked the number of games lost statement).

If we win we lose

If we lose we lose

If we draw we lose

With that type of agenda we should just take the piss and send the vermin home with a bloody nose and a Tom Brown like good old thrashing and fuck the media.

City win 7-0 as the champions elect take a breather...

Roan claims that Pinto said he had millions of documents relating to City. This is just not true. The Pinto case was nothing to do with City. None of the multiple charges against Pinto relate to City. Pinto was not found guilty. He admitted extortion and made a plea deal. Der Spiegel published six emails and a lot of innuendo. The BBC narrative has been twisted and distorted all the way through.

I think City told CAS that 5 million emails had been stolen.

Seems a strange way of thinking TBH, if you don't read it how would you know what it's about? I know some posters go purely off headlines (which are usually written by a sub editor for click reasons) but I'd have thought you'd at least read it, whether you agree or not.

Does that mean that you didn't 'critique' Pep's reasons for benching Rodri against Chelsea in the CL final?

The sub editors job is to entice anyone browsing to read it. I assume it’s not for me but fans of the Rags & Dippers…..
 
Whether or not said:
If Pep’s one month prediction is accurate, the 115 verdict is coming very soon. When we are acquitted of everything except failing to cooperate with a witch-hunt, the immediate media reaction will be fascinating. Some of the biggest schills will be protected from themselves by the in-house legal teams of the papers they work for, so presumably The Independent will stop Delaney from publishing anything defamatory or libellous for example. But the independent key board warriors and gobshite pundits, have no such filter, and hopefully they react with predictable fury and indiscipline. If that happens City need to react legally and send a brutally hard message that enough is enough.

Why should the club be limited to taking action against what people say after the verdict? If it’s been said previously, has subsequently been established as false, and has the propensity to cause damage to the club’s reputation then on the face of it, it will surely be actionable.
 
Ha, ha, ha!

Pep Football v 'Rapid Football'.

The tw@ts at BBC United - Mediacity have come up with something new.

It seems a strange way of thinking, equating a decision in one game to Pep's tactics being 'found out', especially considering what we went on to achieve since that infamous game against Chelsea.

We have had the perfect storm of a season, with bad decisions (on and off the pitch), unforeseen injuries, and bad luck. And despite that, we are still fourth in the table and potentially on target to win a domestic cup. Wow, if that's us being 'found out', especially given the mitigating factors, I'll take it all day.

I have no doubts in my mind that we will be back, stronger and better. It might take a couple of seasons, but with Pep at the helm, and with our resources, it's only a matter of time. Until then, we can console ourselves in the fact that it will be a bloody long time (if ever) before any other team achieves a four-peat, 100 points in a season, and domestic and European trebles. However, I wouldn't write off it being City as the next team to achieve any one of those.

Until then, up the fucking blues!

'Rapid football' was the reason that the once rapid Kyle Walker stayed back for our corners, so yeah, Pep had known about it for a while and it's no coincidence that as his pace declined with age we conceded more goals.

I doubt very much that there have been many articles that did not use the word alleged, whereafter it is a free hit. Once we are cleared it is a very different matter.
