'If I kicked my kid in the garden he wouldn’t fall like that'

He's a fucking prick

Glad it’s just not me that thinks that

Annoying, whinging wanker

He’ll get a bigger job and like countless overrated managers who had a good 5 minutes at some overachieving club, he’ll sink without trace

Yes agree Gundogan was superb today. Mom for me.

Poor first half for me, wasn't really involved where it mattered. He's a great player, and showed it after half time, and I suspect that was a reaction to the words Pep had at half time.

I said earlier that I don't have an issue with their style of play but I can't stand him; his comments about the free kick for our first have shown him up again. I'd like to see the press call him out for a change.

He's a solid, but extremely limited coach. As a manager he might well have the brains to appoint coaches better than himself, which he appears to have done. The main issue will if he can turn them into more than at tough team, look at Stoke for the blueprint.

Even in the dark days of the relegations we've always tried to play good football. We almost always seemed to appoint managers with an attacking ethos. Stuart Pearce wanted to play attacking football, but couldn't get it going. Strangely, he said Manure were a better bet for the title than us in August 17. Classic case of a world class player not suited to management. Alan Ball was another - he gave us Kinkladze though.

No he didnt. The two men were at our club simultaneously, thats all

Pretty much agree, in the end today a team of midgets, beat a team of giants (not just vertically) 4-1, and it could have been more. They had a good first half, and their size dominated ours, in the second half football won, and we only really played for 20 minutes, and used the last 15 to conserve energy, whilst making them run.

A Pep masterclass in the second half.

Ray Houghton, Irish Scot!

Said he played more than 130 games over two seasons, when they were discussing schedules and rotation. That’s a pretty impressive number.

The second half was really enjoyable today. All 4 goals were superb IMO. Kev's pass in the build up to the 4th was sublime as was Sane's goal, the one two for Sergio's 2nd was a thing of beauty and I liked the quick thinking of the first goal. Apart from their goal, which came through a mistake, they didn't have much of a sniff. I thought Burnley were quite poor and "the ginger Mourinho" lived up to his name .... he is also a twat of the highest order and his football is shite!

One of my favorite parts of that was seeing the ENTIRE lower tier celebrating as he ran off shushing their fans in the upper tiers, instead of the cameras catching away fans giving the Vs, etc... really need to put the away fans up out of the way for league games, too. Who needs to see em? Look at United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Sunderland, Newcastle and even the nosebleeds at Real Madrid!

I agree. Games like today showed we don't need away fans in the bottom tier. Having a full first tier with just city fans makes a big difference. Having away fans in the middle just breaks up the fans and stops the south stand singing /celebrating as one - like it did in the second half.
