Poor old Tebas, foaming at the mouth, veins throbbing spitting his bile everywhere.
He implies that City couldn’t sign Messi without ‘cheating’, he then goes on to qualify that nonsense with the notion that City couldn’t sign him on the same terms he had at Barca (no shit!!!), then qualifies this even further by pointing out that no club in Europe could afford to sign him, but feels the need to specify City and PSG, when he could just as easily mentioned the fact that Yeovil Town or Wigan couldn’t afford him.
I wonder if perhaps the owners of the two clubs who get the brunt of this hate and fear may have something in common that this bigoted oaf particularly dislikes?

To his credit, Robbie Savage has been the lone voice to extol the virtues of the way Pep has influenced football even at grass roots level, he was waxing lyrical about him and his game-play strategies during a BT Chumps game, I had to rewind the commentary as I thought my ears were deceiving me.

From the Daily Telegraph about last night....

How the Danish reacted​

Denmark's newspapers showed little of the joshing humour which marked the run-up to their team's semi-final clash with England. The Ekstra Bladet tabloid, and BT tabloid both led their main stories on the referee decisions that, in their view, had robbed their team of victory.

"Denmark was cheated," ran the headline on BT's website, while Ekstra Bladet's ran with "Hjulmand furious", with both reporting on the anger of Denmark's coach Kasper Hjulmand that referees had failed to stop the penalty which gave England its second goal, despite there being an extra ball on the pitch.

"That sort of thing destroys a match in a minute. It's irritating and frustrating," he said. "It's is hard -- especially the way we were knocked out. It's a shame for the boys and bitter for us."

The TV2 broadcaster quoted two referees, and several top managers from third countries who all questioned whether the penalty should have been given in the first place, with many Danish fans convinced that Raheem Sterling had dived.

In a poll on their website, 92 percent of respondents said that England should not have been given the penalty.

The national broadcaster DR, and several of the newspapers, posted up a video showing how Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel had been dazzled by a laser pen from the stands just seconds before one of England's penalty kicks, showing the green light on his cheek.

"And then they wonder why no one likes England," the Jyllands-Posten newspaper quoted one Danish twitter user, Kasper Grøndah, writing. "Booing during the Danish national anthem, diving like crazy during the game, elbows in every header. Laserpens. I hope they get a taste of their own medicine against Italy."

The newspaper also described how "cheers, battle cries and insults" had "turned to silence" among 8,000 Denmark fans at a big-screen event in Aarhus, when Harry Kane's penalty shot kicked Denmark out of the championship.

Poul Hoi, the UK correspondent for the upmarket Berlingske newspaper, wrote an opinion piece presenting the victory as the only bright spot in an otherwise dark time for Britain, expressing his distaste at the "strangely aggressive" celebrations in central London.

"Let the English party," the opinion piece was headlined. "They have nothing else, and rejoice instead that you have woken up in Denmark."

Ekstra Bladet also bemoaned a 'Hard Exit' and thanked their team "for the party".

Ouch!

Blue Mist. Like you I rate Samuel. I read his article and this action would have given them another click.. so job done And I’m sorry. The main issue for me is the headline which Samuel may not have crafted. It could have been something like ‘England’s squad depth is deeper than it’s been for years’ or ‘Southgate's squad harmony gives England an edge’ or whatever. The point Samuel makes in the article about City and the Chavs is borderline fair but it is a supplementary point.

Sky and Talkshite are a disgrace though. Unfair, sensationalist crap to get a response or to keep viewers. It’s truly pathetic.

You make an interesting point. I know nothing of journalism so I assumed Samuel would write the lot. Maybe as you say he pens the piece but someone else writes that headline, someone who simply wants clicks to attract advertisers. If so that shows how far down the gutter the press have gone that even a Samuel article is not safe

BUT Tebas has poisoned the water should we sign him and so job done. Now, if we sign him, any sky sofa sitting wanker will spout that poisoned shite as though it is true.
Fair play to Tebas, Spanish football is in a mess but he is doing a great job of deflecting any shit coming his/their way.
It isn't R. Madrids or Barcas fault they are skint, it is City and PSG. Him and Ratboy would make a great tag team

Without Peps influence and bringing his style to the EPL would be much worse off and we wouldn't be seeing this England team play like this. They just dont want to admit it as they despise us. It just needs one brave soul to break ranks and do an article to highlight how Pep has changed football. I thought Samuel might be that guy but the piece of crap he's recently written tells me he's just like the rest of them.

Written 5 years ago....

Kirchhoff:

"I don’t think Germany won the World Cup because of our unbelievable national head coach [Joachim Low]. I think we won it because of Guardiola and Klopp. It was because these talented players were taking all the football knowledge they’d learnt from their club coaches into the national team.

"It depends how many English players Guardiola has at City. But everyone who plays for him will tell you he makes you so much better. You understand this game in a totally different way.

“If Guardiola has a lot of English players they’ll improve and make the England team better...."
