Said this all along they gained so much from their "unbeaten" run.
A loss to us that day would probably seen them at least 10 points behind us at Christmas. Imho

Guardiola confirms intention to stay at City for next two years P123

There is a 90 minutes with Pep programme on Gol Tv tonight. (In Spanish) Not sure whether it’s the one everyone was quoting on twitter or whether that’s the Catalan one. MAybe they are getting merged.
Anyway stuff we already know. He loves it at City Appreciates the fans sticking with the club through bad years. Repeats the if you wear the shirt you are one of us. Can’t see where he would go and have better set up. Owes a lot to Txiki Likes the prem Even respects the physicality And he gets off on the haters (which surprised me) he says it’s part of what motivates sportspeople. Also mentions he has a young team which I think is really significant.
Without getting too far ahead I get the feeling he would be more tempted to stay if he starts to see he’s building a legacy more akin to what Cruyff did for Barca I think that floats Peps boat more than this stuff about winning the league in all European leagues.
But then who knows. He’s a complex fella. Or at least that’s part of the magic and why he’ll add on years while he feels the sum is bigger than the parts.
Either way he’s a one off. We are very fortunate
From the clip I saw on Sky I also thought it was interesting how he again reiterated that PL rather than CL has to be the priority. Simply because repeatedly winning PL games is essential to make sure the players keep believing in his methods. He clearly sees player confidence as being a fragile commodity.

Saw a bit of this in the paper today
"Too win the league in England is very hard,it was the first time in 10 yrs that a team had retained the league,something Barca does many times.In contrast it's nearly 30 years since Liverpool won the league and we all saw what they did last season
"When people say be he's not won the CL with City i answer i would like the CL but it's the league what makes the players follow you because every 3 days you win,the league keeps you in place,that's why i have it as the absolute priority"
I thought reading that how the media in this country are too busy trying to belittle everything he does they are missing out watching a true genius at work

Just signed a long term deal with our sponsor, not sure how long for.
Too much of a stretch to suggest he's going to extend his contract again?
I'm expecting him to extend it again this season.
He must be running out of alternatives.
Perhaps we should offer him the opportunity to take another sabbatical at the end of next season if he signs an extension. Give arteta the job for a season while pep recharges his batteries.

Looks like it. That's the end of the pool where the showers and diving board were. Remember that pool been modernised in the 50s. They put the ladders in to enter the pool instead of the corner steps in the other two pools. The middle pool was boys and the end one girls and the pool you see was mixed.Filmed at Victoria baths?

Speaking to Barca fans over here in Ibiza, they reckon he won’t return to them, and definitely not manage the national side unless the politics change.

Cheers for the info blue. I've never been in but I've often travelled past and had the intention of going. My mate has visited for a gin tasting event and he said it was brilliant. Could have been the gin talkingLooks like it. That's the end of the pool where the showers and diving board were. Remember that pool been modernised in the 50s.
