Media discussion - 2025/26

That shower of shit have lived off bonuses and career extensions because of the filth they write about us fans, our owners and our club. It should be made law that they can receive a slap outside the Etihad for every bullshit piece they do on us
remove Pep then shoot at will
 
The BBC says goodbye to Salah. Fair enough. I would have thought Bernardo might warrant a mention. Bernardo won 6 Premier League titles and Salah won 2.
Yes, nationally, Bernardo leaving has slipped under the radar.
He has been an amazing signing for City in both the amount of games played and his consistency.
Hope he comes back to City, when he has retired, so he can be acknowledged, not as part of the Pep-leaving celebrations...
 
It's the last ever Football Focus at 12.00 today. Shame the BBC ruined it - just like they did with Question of Sport. Changing times and changing audiences. I'm old enough to remember Football Preview with Sam Leitch and On the Ball with Brian Moore.
 
Spittygher: Guardiola better than Ferguson in every way.

Still a spitty fucker, but I’ll take that.
Pep is clearly better than Baconface.

Huge huge success in the 3 biggest leagues. Twice the trophies to seasons ratio. Revolutionised the game. Coached the 2 greatest club sides to have ever existed.

He absolutely shits on him.

I think so too. Plus he’s not a bacon face looking pissed up ****.
 
I wonder if slurgie had gone to Spain to test his ability, would he have been as big a success as Pep was here? Surely that would be the mark to measure by?

Oh wait, no I don't. I already know the answer. He'd be sacked by Christmas for failing to adapt his kick and run tactics (sorry, famous wing play), with the bullying of officials not paying off in an environment where he holds less sway, refuse to learn the language, and once he's gone suddenly the case of the 1001 missing sangria bottles would be solved conclusively.

Seriously, different languages, cultures, living away from family and friends, the expectation to be the best from day one, an incredibly strong and competitive league forcing the winner to regularly achieve 90-100 points to win it, slurgie never had to contend with any of that. He was seconds from the sack, never once has Pep been in that position.

I mean, the man ruined a footballing legacy over an argument over horse spunk, left his club with no succession plan or future proofing, refused to speak to the BBC for decades because they aired evidence which suggested his son was on the take, attacked and hit a player with a football boot, regularly psychologically pressured referees to unduly influence decisions and even play the amount of time he wanted rather than was correct, on a scale never seen before or since, has certainly been up before the courts more times than Pep, and flaunted gender equality and employment rights when he rejected and shamed a female physio for wanting to work in mens football as being highly inappropriate, in his opinion. Hardly any of which has he ever been held accountable for, far from it he's revered and praised by a conveniently forgetful media and public.

Also, Pep got 100 points in a single season. Did slurgie? Not quite, 92. Back when there were 22 teams in the league and an extra 4 games per season.

He also broke the British transfer record six times, whereas pep did it just the once with Grealish. With inflation, and using the totally money inflation model, that equates to:

Scooby Doo £152m
Veron £157m
The dog botherer £112m
Cole £92m
Pallister £100m

Grealish £116m


No contest. Right, I'm late now!
