why other teams get up for finals and semis when we don't.
We have won 6 of the 7 finals we've played under Pep...
8/10 if you include the Community Shield.
why other teams get up for finals and semis when we don't.
No, that's the rag cunts these days.Other way round, Kaz.
He gets it. You don't.
We're a top European club competing for all the trophies. not a parochial little club who's season depends on bloodying their neighbours nose.
Always more important to win the war!
Times change.So what are your feelings like,say you are there,especially at home,does it hurt,or do you walk off smiling,thinking,well at least we will finish above them.
That's the difference in getting it or not for me
Need to do them every time we play,they took the piss for years
Yep, but let's hope we show up for the battle tomorrow!Always more important to win the war!
Unless it’s a final or the league depends on it, yes it’s just another game. Love how Pep has handled this.But its not just another game is it? Pep can call it anyway he likes but he's wrong. No fucking excuses we need to beat them tomorrow both to keep us in the title chase and to put these cunts in their place. Fuck me if he cant get the better of Solskaer once in a while he may pack it in.
Times change.
This is the rags biggest game of the season it's all they have to look forward to, the we beat Pep & City trophy.
If somebody said to me now you'll lose the Derby tomorrow but win the league we'd snap their hands off.
Brilliantly put.Pep's attitude towards the derby is the same attitude of anyone who is at a club that dominates. It's the attitude Barcelona have to Espanyol. It's the attitude Real have to Atletico. Liverpool have to Everton.
We're going for our 9th consecutive season finishing ahead of United. For the last 4 years we've finished on average, 20 points above them. They've not got within 12 points.
That's the humiliation Guardiola puts on United every single week of every year that he is here. It's not about 1 off games, it's about being 20 points clear every single season and treating them like Everton, or West Ham, because they only matter 2 weeks a year. Every time they look at the table and they're 20 points back it fucking kills them.
People still complain about playing a rotated team and losing the Cup semi-final 2nd leg and it's bizarre, everyone else in the world apart from a section of our fans knows it's far more humiliating for them for us to play a B team in a semi-final game because you're he's confident, so sure that it's done, we're already in the final.
I go on the team he picks and the tactics but thanksIf Pep comes out in the press calling it the most important game of the season so far, etc. etc. it's just gonna get the players wound up. He wants our lads to concentrate and approach it like it's any other game so that we don't get ahead of ourselves or go too "blood and thunder" and get picked off.
No idea why any of you pay attention to press conferences because 99% of the time it's just Pep straight-batting banal questions from reporters who are just trying to get quotes for their articles. The only thing worth listening to press conferences for is injury updates, and even they're mind games 50% of the time.
