Binged watched the last three last night. Will admit to some unknown waterworks on my face at those Istanbul scenes. Great (nicely polished) insight into the personalities of some of the boys; Kev, Erl, Bernie, Rodri, Manu, Jack, Phil and Rico - less on Stones, Edi, Kyle (maybe for good reason) and if I was Laporte, Gomez, Philips or Palmer, I would have got my coat, if I hadn't already. My god have we missed Gundo this season.
Fav bits were Ruban and Kyle's team talks, just seeing what a joy of a person Haarland seems to be, and the Hippo v Crocodile debate. Loved seeing Ferna and Sergio in Istanbul and what it meant to Pep.
We really are a machine with nothing left to chance or a lack of investment (for good or bad) - no only major gripe was the total lack of any fan voice. We were left to provide a soundtrack or hold blue flares outside the Etihad. The only time it got close was in Istanbul before the game. I liked it when Pep spoke about the sacrifice of the fans when we lost at Southampton, but that was it.
Final irritation - a few times after Bernie and Phil scored at home, when there was footage of them sliding/running to celebrate with the fans - the amount of tourists with their half and halfs and recording it all on iPhone's was frankly embarrassing....well I suppose at least they hadn't left early...
