journalist asking Pep if he saw any wrong doing or foul play when he managed Barcelona, fucking scandalous, if these pricks were on camera, would they ask such ridiculous questions. Pep gave the response it deserved.

First class cnut, wouldn't allow him back in the Etihad.

At the risk of repeating myself I would stage manage the "pressers" by putting cameras facing the journos (feels wrong to call them that) and have them miced up, then when before they asked their "gotcha" question make them announce who they are and who do they represent. We will see them squirm when Pep knocks them down.

.....claiming the FA have a bundle of irrefutable evidence to back their claims and Mancini had a contract in Abu Dhabi to do 6 days a week?

If Mancini had a contract to do 6 days a week in Abu Dhabi, how the flying f*** does he coach the team?

Are you kidding? They'd fucking love being the centre of attention

"Ha Ha Ha...You're so funny..."

Love that sarcastic response today from Pep.

Not kidding, hiding on the internet is for cowards.

I realty get the feeling that Pep actually loves these events. He may sometimes try to keep a straight face but he is likely to be thinking that this lot facing him, if their questions are really representative of what they wish to print post-match, are a big giveaway as to what opposition teams expect or hope to happen. I'm sure Pep is expert at dictating the outcome of a game by slipping in something of little actual consequence in the expectation that opposing managers may think they have worked out a cunning plan when really they are led up a blind alley that Pep has created in the Press Room.

My point is that we often complain about what is written by the cohort of no-marks hiding behind their key boards. If we get on the front foot and we can see who they are anonymity is removed.

What question was he responding to there? I saw the Paddy Power clip of this, but must have been cut from the presser clip on the City website.

Cunts at it again.

He was asked if he had a vote for Baloon D'or would he vote for Messi over Erling.

‘You are too young, my friend. I will send videos so that you can see it.’

Obviously sent in as a stooge only to be shot down before his stardust could form.

It was before we hired him as manager, we were 'apparently' keeping him on a retainer because they knew Hughes was a clueless twat and would be sacked asap and they didn't want Mancini going somewhere else.

If we get done for that it would be a shame, a fucking shame they didn't just sack clueless in the first place, he has done fuck all since leaving us to prove anybody wrong.

I very rarely bother watching the press conferences, as the standard of 'journalists' in this country is as bad as I can ever remember it. The questions are deliberately provocative, designed to get a reaction and as we have seen from Pep's response to the Ballon D'or question, those are the clips that go viral.

It's no wonder Pep loses it every now and then. Imagine being the greatest manager of your generation, possibly ever, and having to answer insulting questions, from these no marks.

I found the opening questions annoying.

"When are you fucking off Pep?" To translate.

Our Nat on Fighting Talk shortly. Hopefully she'll dismantle the plastic scouser presenting.

What was the reporter expecting Pep to respond with?
Was he expecting a response of oh yeah it was brown envelopes and secret handshakes every second I was there.

Fuckin media.

Nedum and Alex Williams on FF just now. (Even though Alex Scott can’t pronounce Nedum!) part of Black History month. City one of the first clubs involved with Afro-Caribbean players. Good section. Love both these guys.

Been saying the same for years. There is no way United, Liverpool or any other club would allow their manager to be subjected to this type of crap, week in and week out. None. We just sit back and allow it to happen. It’s our own fault. The club are 100% responsible for it. The media hacks must piss themselves laughing at us after every presser because we allow them totally free reign. Our PR is totally non existent.
