Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Inter Me Nan]

Deep breath .... you're just not listening are you? What else would he say? Again ...for the second or third time, it's about interpretation. I saw the interview and in my opinion he was digging the fans out. In yours he wasn't. Nothing more to say

Then you're wrong, sorry.

Nobody should have an issue with Peps words there. I'd be very suspicious of anybody that did.

 

[HelloCity]

Nothing good was ever going to come of his comments except negativity.

Pep’s?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Is "beaker" some kind of nickname for your partner?

She's a right Muppet.

No I'm wrong in your opinion

 

[Zabbasbeard]

They were wrong too.

I'm not playing the numbers game here -" eat at Joe's Cafe 3 million flies can't be wrong" - is not an argument.

I'm simply saying that just because Pep is one of the best managers in the world doesn't mean he can't screw up, and he has screwed up. He's the most high profile representative of the club and he's given our 'friends' in the media another stick to beat us with.

The MSM understood exactly what he said, as did any fair minded person.

Absolutely spot on.

No I'm wrong in your opinion

And Peps.

The roots of the current tension between Pep and some fans lies in the aftermath of the CL final. I expected the tension and sort of predicted it after the CL final after I saw the negative over reaction to Pep. One of the most successful seasons in club's history ended with a huge wave of criticisms of the manager. Pep probably knows about the consensus among City fans that his tactics in Porto was "stupid","idiotic", "colossal fuck-up", etc. And he most certainly finds this consensus baffling and irrational. So, I'm not surprised in the slightest of what's happening now. Expecting the tension, I wrote back in June that he might leave already after this season. You can see my post in his 20/21 thread.

Now, I've changed my opinion because I think Grealish will help us perform better than expected. I think we'll break goal-scoring records even though we have no proper striker! Some fans may continue to push the self-destruct button, but Pep won't probably pay much attention to them anyway. I hope so.

I agree, hes clarified what he meant. perhaps what he said midweek was lost in translation?

There's definitely a crossover with the posters who have been at him since the CL final and this subject.
