Why all is not well for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City

Unhappy players, a Covid outbreak, poor form and a lack of goals are testing the City manager like never before

This continues to age well from the weekend..

The media failing to have their finger anywhere near the pulse always makes our successes infinitely more orgasmic.

Jackie (City fan) just rang in to TalkSPORT and starting singing ‘we’ll drink a drink a drink a drink’ and that **** Man United glory hunter said ‘well you won’t sing that on this show’ and she got cut off. Fucking disgusting.

One of the many reasons I haven't listened to talkshite for 2 years.
A shit station that employs criminals and failures.

He’s a no mark who thinks he’s important,be the type who could fall off the radar media wise and be found lying in a gutter somewhere he’s of no importance..

It can be fun when the reds lose as the plastic cockney rag goes into a mard and the production team just lump it on him.

Being groomed by Bobby Charlton will do that to a ****...

Remember when he was the host of Soccer AM and Ray Winstone absolutely ripped into him for being a cockney rag. At first he thought Winstone was messing about but when he realised he wasn't he shit his pants.

Sky quickly put a commercial break on and when it came back on Winstone had gone. Goldstein still looked really shaken though

Ray Winstone is a legend. His wife is City through and through. Had one of the most excessive days in my life drinking with him in Manchester (ending up in the Circus Tavern) when West Ham were in town. He ended up singing "Blue Moon." He hates the Rags.

Hahahahaha I’d love to have seen that,wasn’t there one week where they had to go to a unscheduled break someone was drunk I think and carrying on and again when they came back they were gone ..

No love for Keane.

Thought he was very fair tonight.

Continually praised City.

Said we were the better team and deserved the win.

Didn't make any excuses for United's performance.

 

[JRockBlues]

No love for Keane.

You should've stopped there. SHouldn't be allowed any involvement in football whatsoever until he apologises for deliberately trying to injure a fellow professional and gloating over it in his autobiography. RKIAC and always will be.

Not disagreeing on Goldstein, but they did let TOJ have a nice chat about Colin yesterday. I'd call this one terrible 'banter'.

Well done city so proud of the effort and skill ,on show so much better than the red team the 650: million no marks may find out their on line team lost assuming they new the shower of shit had a game

 

[levets]

From my post history you'll never find me defending anything red but, I sure a few months ago when this was discussed recently someone posted a picture of Buchan at Colin's hospital bed.

That was me who posted the picture, it was just after Glyn Pardoe died, but it was to correct somebody who said George Best never visited Glyn Pardoe or apologised. Which was incorrect

 

[SWPISHOME]

I was emotional tonight before kick off talking about King Colin but was also excited...Then seen Buzzer crying I also cried, But it got me right up for the game and seemed the players too.

R.I.P. King.

 

[hammocity]

Main BBC news at 18:00. Apparently some french chef that I have never heard of as died. No mention of Colin Bell. I will have to wait for the North West News to see any tribute

Albert Roux joint founder of La Gavroche restaurant in London. His son is Michel Roux Junior who now runs the restaurant is a self confessed rag fan who is a friend of bacon face. Very dubious practices paying some of his staff less than the minimum wage in 2015, then circumventing payment of tips for his underpaid staff, full details on Wikipedia. Typical rag behaviour but hardly gets any criticism in the media and regularly appears on the good old BBC, hardly surprising.

How you know when united have lost.

Stick on BBC breakfast and the usual sport slot just after half 8 is no longer there!

I've always felt that our recent successes were reported fairly even handedly on regional news at least. That changed and I think it was the fourmidables season where as if a switch had been flicked the local sports jocks started following the standard media narratives.

CAS everyone and his dog got their pants pulled down cos they didn't even entertain the possibility that we were innocent.

TBF Granada led with Colin's passing and a decent tribute. BBC had I felt a rather cursory feature in their sports roundup. Both programmes featured interviews with Dennis Tuart and Joe Corrigan.

Saw a perfunctory item on the match on Breakfast. By the time the next sports roundup was being trailed the lead headline was on how grassroots sport wo would survive in the pandemic.

I think we have a lot to complain about in terms of how we're portrayed. It's not unreasonable to expect fair unbiased reporting but as we've seen it depends on who you are.

I say screw it don't lose any sleep on what these prats think of us. Glory in the way we played last night and how we celebrated our greatest player.

People can make snide comments about how we have changed as a club: well look at the way John Stones Phil Foden and Pep spoke last night. All clubs have history and we are proud of ours.

Or when we've won, it is just totally ignored. I don't remember any sports coverage on Monday after we beat Chelsea and there was none today after we beat the rags. So we have a national TV news programme which we pay for but not one snippet of a semi final of a major tournament. It was mentioned on the local news though.
