Cheeky bastard. He's delusional and long may it continue. After 2 years in charge, one LC, one FAC and then 8th in the PL. Playing shit football as well. From where I'm sitting there were quite a few more managers than Pep who have been better than him.

Plus the poor sod has a facial expression that looks in need of a good slap. Should fit in well with the likes of Anthony, Garnacho, Fernández etc.

Agreed. Apart from the game, Shrewsbury in the FAC was one of the best away days I've had. Cracking day with a bunch of mates, no bother at all but culminating in us all getting barred from the Swan in Bucklow Hill on the way back for laughing too loudly. YCNMIU. Such was the life if a Blue in...

Fair do's to the players for getting to the final under the constraints of Southgate's tactics. At this level playing hoof ball wins you nowt. Better team won tonight, no doubt about that IMHO.

On the subject of green woollen goalies jumpers, the very first match I saw as a young boy was Oldham v Gateshead back in the old 4th Division (or maybe even Third Division North). The only memory I have from that match is that the Gateshead goalie's green woollen jumper had 'darned' elbows. How...

I've seen them all and for me Bert was clearly the best. My Dad, who saw both Bert and Swifty said that he thought Bert edged it. Therefore, I would say Bert, followed by (in order) Big Frank, Big Joe, Hart, Ederson. Hart edges it over Eddie on keeping ability.

What a cracking game that was. Well done to the Turks, they played well and dug deep when they had to.

Good to see that BM has the new and correct spelling of Turkiye. Something which the BBC website in it's infinite wisdom is apparently unable to do.

Absolutely. I said to Mrs Bill when he missed the free kick that the Manager should be telling him not to take another or he'd be subbed. Unfortunately that would never happen with Martinez & Ronaldo. Had to laugh when Slovenia had a free kick late on and Keown said it's the only one that...

I thought he was a disgrace last night with his reaction to missing the pen. Absolutely not what is expected of a team captain. Unbelievably self centred when instead he should have been gee-ing them up to keep going.

Yeah, I said to Mrs Bill 'what an obnoxious, big headed, arrogant bastard '.

Whole :-)

Reminds me of a guy who 'managed' my local pub team back in the 70"s. We were invariably 2 or 3 down by HT and his team talk always consisted of "Right lads, we can win this ". That was it, nothing more. He then left the team to get on with eating cut-up oranges and having a fag. Whilst on...

I think we should all give ourselves a collective pat on the back. We've clearly learned a lot from the failures in previous campaigns. Plus it keeps the 'falling down' song going a bit longer. Well done to all - we can now start planning for another few months of trying to save his job for him.

Bearing in mind that last Saturday at the FAC Final the scanner bleeped on my glasses case in my back pocket, how the fcuk do they manage to allow pyros to get through ? Priorities most definitely in the wrong order.

I had a dipper mate, now sadly passed away, who was born & bred Liverpudlian with an accent to match. He was a proper genuine guy though with whom I had many sensible discussions about City, Liverpool and football in general. He once told me how he couldn't stand Bishop, and referred to him as a...

I heard that Pep and the lads had been reading this thread last week and decided to get behind the campaign. A bit extreme throwing the Cup Final but the decision was probably made when they were all pissed celebrating the 4 in a row. Maybe they came to the conclusion that we needed a helping...

Absolutely spot on. We'll rise again from this.

John MacTavish springs to mind :-)

After the long journey back from Wembley to Cumbria last night, today has felt pretty shit. TBH I didn't feel as low as that even after the Wigan final, but after watching the parade tonight on the app it's pulled me around and the old positive Blue inside me has taken over again. We must NOT...
