a little more detail on the Redmond incident:
a little more detail on the Redmond incident:
I'm waiting with bated breath for the apology to Pep from the MUEN and the SunNathan's comments have made a mockery out of what the Rag fanboy Sam Luckhurst stated in the MEN. Yet another own goal from the local paper that seems to enjoy trashing its local audience.
That's because the narrative will shift to "Liverpool product Raheem Sterling..."

Andy Dunn joining in now. Apparently Redmond should be praised for not punching Pep.
Am I the only one bemused as to why none of these journalists have spoken to Redmond about how he feels? He would have had to walk through the mixed zone, they could all contact him directly on twitter (a surprisingly common form of journalist-player contact these days) and yet no one has relayed if Redmond cared about it at all.
I think most people in and around football don't actually understand"Pep the football man". The man has a passion for how the game should be played. It's not about gaining an advantage for his team, its not about telling other teams how they should play to suit us, it's not even about winning or losing. It's about how the game should be played, in spirit, as an art, as a discipline as a spectacle the paying fans can appreciate and enjoy, win or lose.
Last night's "conversation" with Redmond wasn't about telling them how to set up so to make it easier for us to play against them, it was about saying " you're better than this". Pep probably lost it a little last night, but it wasn't because Southampton made it difficult for us to win, it was because he can see that the game that we all love is being transformed and mutilated in front of our very eyes from the beautiful game that it can be into a hideous borefest that has to be endured by millions of fans up and down the country.
