Pep has gone full Bert and it’s magnificent. Has them dancing on strings.

I think he saw the official premier league “one step closer” tweet.

Good lad, Pep. You’re learning.

Aye. It's just that the article doesn't even express an opinion on what Pep said,its like they just wanted it on record for future use

That's exactly what it's for.

Wtaf? This season will be remembered as the season Liverpool nearly won everything? Is that a thing now? When is the parade?

If they don't win everything, people will have forgotten about it next year.

When we do it :)

But they can still have their Caraboo cup parade, along with the runners up medal’s and a big banner “we nearly won the lot”.

Totally understand what you are saying, but Pep is a human being and he must get totally fed up and frustrated by the media twats at every opportunity trying to get him to bite with the snide questions and underplaying his success with us.

We all know how fucking irritating it is to have the " dipper achievements", real or otherwise, rammed down our throats constantly, and Pep's achievements are greater than Klopp's in terms of success.

So his " 1 PL in 30 years comment " is the real knife into the heart of the comparison of the success of the two managers in their respective times in the PL , and the dippers simply do not have as valid response as of today.

Hopefully we will win the league and his comment will be emphatically correct .

I agree totally. That 1 title in 30 years doesn't get trotted out enough. If it was the other way round we'd be labelled as a cup team with no real fight in us to win the ultimate prize, Champions of England, the toughest league in the world - well, it is when they're selling the product, but second to the CL when talking about Liverpool.

He’s the brother of Alison Rudd, they live in Toxteth and have 2 children.

Haha, what a joke.

It is a very cheap and effective way of getting your message out and correcting false narratives. A very clever idea from Wetherspoons, probably more effective than legal action. They probably had to send some legal letters out to force the press into publishing corrections. But on isssues of fact the press are bound to provide a correction under their publishing code and they usually bury them in the paper. It would cost City virtually nothing to do this and they could publish the results on all their social media channels to a very large audience. It would have a huge impact.

It’s called issues management and is standard practice where a good pr dept exists.

Is that legal ? In breeding cunts

A certain manager used this type of situation to galvanise his team and supporters and it worked, i think Pep is playing a blinder here has them in total hysterics.

 

[cheekybids]

Oh I know, been there & done it,usually he gets to the place after trying to defend his comments where he says "I meant xyz" and then he's told for a professional writer he should be able to get his point across clearly and then stops replying.

Isn’t it amazing he blames the punters for misunderstanding him rather than himself for being shit at his job.

How can a team with the best goalkeeper, best central defender, best full backs, best passer, best forwards, best manager and best home support in the world conceivably be underdogs?

Would it be because,

A, The wind was too strong, thats why they’ve less points,

B, The grass was too long, thats why they’ve less goals scored,

C, The VAR has been against them, and that’s why they’ve conceded more goals.

With all these things against them. it doesn’t matter they have all the best players in every position (including subs). The league is a fix, and bought with dirty Arab petro dollars!

That’s why they are underdogs, everyone knows it!
