The Guardian have finally said what the rest knew/know.
Sorry i can't post it, but a very good article about Pep and how he totally changed English football.

Why it's taken 10 years mind.

I've just read it, thanks for the heads up. Just put Pep Guardiola - The Guard££n into a search engine.

Surprisly positive article.

I can't believe it is 10 years tomorrow ( 1 February) that Pep was announced as manager. What a decade!!

Because of his latest speech probably. The Guardian will now love him for that

I have to say, he does impress me.

Continuity would make sense given the way our club is structured. That has been the strategy used across the whole CFG in all areas of the business.

Nothing wrong with the speech. If anything, more people need to be speaking out against the disgusting treatment endured by so many.


Palestinians, Ukrainians, Jews, whites, blacks, Iranians…anyone for that matter. Mass killing is wrong full stop. Trying to find a side to pick is disgraceful.

Nothing in this world can justify human brutality. Certainly not religion, skin colour or gender or anything else man made.

None of that aimed at u mate -:)

Keep up the good work pep.

Pep is entitled to his personal opinions as long as it doesn’t impact on his football role. It was a personal speech.

 

[borassic]

He literally says "but not only Palestine". Our greatest manager ever, and clearly one of our greatest ever human beings, calling for world peace and City fans saying that picking sides is 'disgraceful'. His sides seem pretty consistent to me - standing with the oppressed. He might not still be at City if he didn't...

As for the presser, happy for Lijnders to do it as others have pointed out the questions are often embarrassingly poor. I don't think the European ones are much better either - In the midweek presser I think Doku was asked how many times he gets kicked!

As for the comment about Lijnders being groomed to take over from Pep - absolutely no chance. And it would be suicide

Long live the great Pep Guardiola. Prouder than ever to be a blue once again

I wish they actually asked about tactics, a lot of the foreign press do and you can see how much more animated Pep becomes when it’s actually about the football

 

[MCFCTrick]

He is.. I mean Paddy (The vet) is a blue

Or have I been Clarkied

Used to see Jeff Hordly regularly in the CB stand level 1. Seen here with 'Paddy' at the ground.

I agree.

I don't trust our media not to spin it into saying Pep is a hateful ****.

Someone is feeling the pressure. Good news. We need more of this.

 

[Phil1]

Not hard to figure out why their fans are massive gobshights when their manager leads the way in gobshitiness.

Has Pep Guardiola gone too far in his criticism of referees?

A complaint about a perceived refereeing mistake nine years ago might help explain the Manchester City manager's frustration with officials

Yank Dipper fanzine at it.

Yes, a positive article about Pep, by Rob Draper.
So, for a change, not a sniffy snipe at Pep by the pretentious pair of prats - Barney & Johnny.
Watched Football Focus and saw how wooden and how old-fashioned it looked, with Alex Scott as anchor.
Not surprisingly, no mentioning Pep's decade of domination...

Fuck Sam Lee and the horse he rode in on.
Pep hasn't gone far enough, you poke the hornets nest long enough and eventually you get stung. Pep hasn't gone far done amazing to keep his counsel for as long as he has. It could and should have been said years ago.

 

[malg]

So the headline isn't what he said then.

What's he said that should have been said years ago? What have I missed now.

Sam Lee doing what he does best ?

He's exactly like the rest of the twats, it was fine with Klopp, Arteta and similar when mouthing off about refs/VAR etc.

Hypocrisy is crucial element in the make-up of these so-called "journalists".
