The Guardian.. What does a double-treble say about the health of football?

Manchester City are in annihilation mode: the double-treble is the target | Barney Ronay

Can anybody stop Guardiola’s juggernaut and, if not, what does a double-treble say about the health of football?

I thought that article was just unintelligible

Guardian Football writers hate football full stop, I don’t think its just City.

It‘s fucking Groundhog Day once again from that bitter, deluded, and mental bastard!

Have I missed anything out about him?

Looks like it’s built from Lego

If Lego built abortions!

That roof is a disgrace…and don’t get me started on spending a fortune and not creating a four-sided stadium! That railway is such a pain in their arse! Can’t believe they can’t come up with a better solution for that stand!!

Guardiola certainly doesn’t and his was a particularly interesting case. He twice tested positive for the steroid nandrolone in 2001, when he played for Brescia in Italy.

Among other consequences of that saga, he was given a seven-month suspended prison sentence, but he maintained his innocence, challenged the findings, lost an appeal that had been based on a contamination defence, and then in 2009 he was acquitted by the courts of any wrongdoing.

So, not particularly interesting then. That's a lot of words used to say he wasn't found guilty.

A perfect example of a journalist counting words rather than relevance.

He had to go all the way back to Pep's playing days to use Pep as an example and to make a point of it.

I would imagine our players are the most tested in the Premier League? Mind you we must be doing something wrong, we don’t have 70% asthmatics in our team. Poor liverpool just how do they cope?
