Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Even worse mate I`m one those fuckers that sits in CB3.We`re dead hard up there you know.

Well, well, well, Oakie. I always had yer down as somewhere in the first three rows of the South Stand. And please get the terminology right - CBL3 cognoscenti, in true Pellers fashion, are FOCs!

I`m trying to lose at least 3 stone mate.This is the heaviest I`ve ever been at 17st 5lbs. Lost 8 pounds already but its just a pity that this funeral has come around,but I`m not going to go daft,probably about 4 pints and that will do.
Honestly I have more than 50 shirts,casual shirts,polo shirts stuck in the wardrobe and only 6 fucking fit me !! Pissed off with it,so cut out all suppers,smaller plates,no butter and so far I`ve not missed any of `em.

Dont cut out fats - keep eating butter. cut out sugar - avoid low fat foods - they are full of sugar.

Had an arguement in 93:20 the other week,
Tried to get a pie each for me and my lad,told me I had to buy chips as well,wouldn't just sell me the pies.
Eventually agreed to give me just the pies and asked me for £13.....when I questioned it,they said they had to charge me for the chips as well,even though they wasn't giving me any.

I've never bought food in there in my life and I'm not planning to

Sorry for not responding!

I was referring to what Pep was reported to have said a few weeks ago. I realise he didnt use those exact words and was misquoted/ or quoted out of context etc etc.

I just get the feeling that the club as a whole would rather forget, or gloss over our relegations and years of strife, ups and downs etc in the quest to shake off our past and turn us in to a shiny new European giant like barca or bayern.

It sometimes feels like the club is embarrassed by that peroid in our history. Rather than recognising, that is what being a City fan is all about. The good and the bad that has brought us to where we are now. What a fucking journey it has been.

So next time the papers try and spin a story about how likkle oil rich city are ruining football and have years to go to match the magficence of the European elite. Maybe we can turn it round and tell them about our story instead of apologising for our lack of silverware.

All in your head then and backed up by zero facts. More bizarre feelings after listening to the UK gutter press.

The support has been the same since I started going as a 6yr old lad in 1974. The idea that Maine Rd was a seething, swaying bear pit, packed to the rafters with fans singing the team on is a myth. There were games when the atmosphere was genuinely electric (Boro League cup semi, a few games against Unitd, Liverpool) but, by and large, when the team played well, the crowd was upbeat and when they were poor, so was the crowd. And that’s the same for pretty much every single other team, bar the orchestrated shite at Palace (and the bundesliga). It’s the team that gets the crowd going. And it was exactly the same at Maine Rd; nothing to do with the move to the Etihad.

Correct Johnny, Maine Road became an awesome place for some, after we had moved. Atmosphere was rank bad on many occasions. The Etihad can be very good but just not often enough, that's down to the fans!!

And the other half would be telling us that he'll never surpass St David.

Good to hear we have plenty of newbies, 1972, just dipped your toe in the water :-)

Fucking hell DEB`e long gone are my days of jumping up and down,continuous singing and throwing abuse at the away fans,which was wonderful, way back into the 1960`s/70`s in the Kippax.Great days mate,great days.

With virtually the same squad as last season, I don't know how anyone expected us not to have difficult periods this season. It took 3 seasons to destroy a Championship winning squad, so I'm happy to wait for another 2 after this to get us back to where we were & then to progress even further.

The present situation will be killing Pep, as he now must fully realise the strength & power of the Premier League & the weaknesses of the squad he's inherited. If he manages to do what he was brought in to do, he will be truly classed as one of the best & most influential managers in the history of the game. Pep is not a magician, he is a mere mortal like the rest of us & should at least be afforded time & our understanding to get things right.....

Yep spot and Pep new after the 10 games winning run we aint good enough.

'Twas the North Stand for me in the 60's (pissed wet through every other match) although I saw Burnley win the title from the Kippax!

This, and a smaller plate.

I had this at Wembley, FA Cup final against Chelsea. They was serving fish and chips and I asked just for some chips. They told me they couldn't just sell me chips, a long row later and I was still chipless. I wrote to them afterwards where I spoke to someone from the catering who gave lots of bullshit reasons why they cant do it. I said it's to make more money which he denied and told me I could of had a £2.50 sausage roll as a cheap alternative haha!

Guy was ok actually, for the final gave me his number and wanted to meet when I was in the ground. Had no signal when I was in and no fucker on the tills knew him!

That's the thing though -- ludicrous winning run to start, beating Barca, the 2nd half vs. Arsenal, the numerous wonderful stretches we've had in matches we didn't win . . . The frustrating aspect is the Jeckyl and Hyde nature of the side and many of the players. That's what frustrates me -- one week expectations are up, another they're down -- even now I've no idea which side shows up vs. Spurs. None. I don't think any of us does, even Pep.

Yeah probably partly is in my head, heres some of his actual quotes:

"We don't have the history with this shirt, of Barcelona, Juventus, [Bayern] Munich or Manchester United. Not their titles,"

"We have to convince people at this club that they are good. They are good. And the fans as well."

"They have to believe they are good, the club is good, the players are good."

"It's about being in Europe and over the next decade to be there [in the Champions League] every year. That's more important to this club than winning one title, believe me, more than that."

Nowt wrong with the facts of what he says. But always talking about what we havent got instead of celebrating what we have got. Just feeds the headlines to the press.

 

[Machiavelli]

Fucking hell is that it? you need to start using soap for sensitive skin if that has bothered you.
Pep also added what we've done over the last few years hasn't been matched in world football in terms of how far we've come. He's not a supporter from Beswick he's an employee.

 

[Trust in Pep]

The UK press were linking him to Arsenal in Nov 2016. Was this your 'source'?

No. It was actually an ex Rag player via another.

 

[BAB.DAB]

Good
What about Aguero contact extension?

Officially announced weird timing

F***ing hell Pep, all this Catalan Goudi s*** is starting to scare me.

As we say in England, don't throw the towel in yet.

You managed to stay on the sun lounger for 3 years in Germany.
