Pep about to break record for managing most City games

Tikka takka football will never work in the Premier League.

Fuck off Gary Neville.

 

[eastmanc]

He's no Stuart Pearce though.

Thank fuck for that.

I assume they don’t count the games he’s banned for!

If joking ... lol

If serious ... Pep trains the team, picks the team, does the pre-match teamtalk, does the half time teamtalk and sits in the stand advising on subs + tactics. So, yeah, he still counts as the manager.

The only thing he can't do is sit in the dugout. On that basis, I wasn't at work yesterday cos I walked into Ashton on my lunch break.

 

[Corky]

it seems games that he missed are being counted.

here he is signing Gerry Baker - a US international who played 39 games for us scoring 14 goals 1961/2.

Gerry Baker (US International) was the brother of Joe Baker (England International) yet both grew up in Scotland. Their father was a merchant seaman.

When Denis Law moved to Torino, Joe Baker was signed from Hibs to keep him company. Hibs then signed Gerry from City to replace Joe.

Didn't he do a song called Rafferty Street?

Twats in the press loved it after Leicester and Everton put 4 past us, wrote Pep off but look at him, the legacy he leaves, the records he’s broken, the impact he has had on English football from top to grassroots

I need to pinch myself sometimes! After our wilderness years, how lucky are we?

All those choices we made back in the day - 1966 in my case; thank God I chose blue and didn't turn to the dark side.

My parents moved to Manchester in 1952 when I was 4 or 5. Somebody asked me if I supported City or United. I didn’t know what the word united meant so I said City. The rest is history.

Gerry and Denis lined up for us together

Which depressingly reminded me that we got relegated the season before.

I meant City's shortest term for a fully appointed manager

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Yeah but that fancy foreign tikka masala football won't work here in proper Brexit Britain.

Just like David Silva he'll be jogging off back to Spain after a year.

You can't play tippy tappy football in this division, he won't last 2 seasons. Just a fraud who hid behind Messi etc etc etc.
