Does anyone know if Guardiola is doing his press conference today or tomorrow?

The BBC sportsday live feed says he's doing it at 1.30pm.

Apologies for posting this here, it doesn't deserve a thread of it's own but I thought it was too funny to pass....

Very good! Not seen that before.

Some people are suggesting we rest all our key players against Hull because it'll be 'easy'. The reality is that if we don't beat Hull it'll be a massive confidence knock. It should be easy, but oly if we take it seriously. Some rotating might be needed, but we can't go out and play Bravo, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Clichy, Fernando, Aleix García, Silva, Nolito, Navas, Iheanacho and expect to walk it.

I would never expect to walk any game. But that 11 is exceptionally strong compared to the team that Hull are like to put out. Plus there are a fair few scrappers in it. I would be quite happy if we started with that 11 (assuming Zabaleta is fit) and then brought Aguero (if fit), KDB, Sagna, Kolarov, Fernadhino, Yaya & Sterling in for the Liverpool game.

Pep: I spoke with some players about what it means to play on Boxing Day against Hull City… We have to be prepared

Pep: We're going to train tomorrow and on the 25th, then get a bus in the afternoon to Hull. We're going to prepare like it’s not Christmas.

Pep: [On January transfer window] I am happy with what we have, I am confident in the players that we have.

Pep: [On January transfer window] I am not denying that we will look for something

Pep: Of course Gabriel Jesus is coming, we will have another striker and we will finish the season with almost all of our players

It's very fitting that god's own team will have 2 Jesus's in it

Pep: "Vincent is still out and Zabaleta has a small problem, but we are hoping that he will be able to train w/ the team before Boxing Day."

The Sheikh loves Jesus.

Completely disagree. I want us to do well in
the FA Cup after last season's disgrace vs Chelsea. It may likely be the only thing we have a chance of winning this season and I hope the club has not become so arrogant that they cherry pick the competitons
We should compete for everything.

So do i, hence the wink at the end ;;;;-))))
