Kevin Parker gives Pep both barrels

Pep Guardiola told to stick to coaching after questioning Manchester City fans

The general secretary of City’s official supporters’ club has had his say on the Spaniard’s comments

The only time City make the Daily United headline is when they're taking the piss via.....

When the stadium is full on Saturday it's because Pep adked City fans to fill it.

If the stadium isn't full on Saturday, it will be, City fans can't fill it, even when Pep asked City fans to fill it.

And so this continues past Saturday.

I haven't got much time for Kevin Parker, but he's right. Pep should stick to coaching the team and playing matters. Pep doesn't need to encourage and continue the on-going Emtyhad narrative and attacks on our support via his comments. It's not the 1st time either.

And for good measure, a Liverpool advert above the headline article.

Good, I’m glad they have taken the fans’ view instead of just Pep’s. Maybe he will see it and realise.

Disagree slightly i think pep was on about the atmosphere rather then the turn out. And has you rightly say he probably meant that but his way of saying it was his Catalan brain not quite up to speed with his English.

We will never know but I think Pep is very smart (in fact a genius) and I think that sometimes he is "playing" the media and the crowd narrative is a recurring theme with him. Essentially I believe he is very eccentric and that's what makes him great but greatness often comes with flaws.

What's wrong with wanting a full house at the weekend and emphasising to the fans how important they are to the team. he didn't insult anyone. In fact he recognised the role fans play in supporting the team

Nothing wrong with any of that but it was the wrong time to introduce a negative angle. We had just won the game 6-3. Why turn a positive into a negative. He should know by now how the UK press works.

Still don't get the figure. Just watched the highlights and ground looks nearly full. Something not right. I said last night it looks 48 before all this nonsense.

Just listening to radio 4 and an interview with Jaqueline Wilson, she has rewrote the railway children, she was wittering on about the kids stopping the train crash by waving a red petticoat, she states kids don't wear petticoats nowadays, foolishly I thought yeah they'd be waving a red hoodie but no, the character is now a rag fan and is handily wearing a rag home shirt to wave at the driver.

Fucking unbelievable stuff.

The story goes on to say that the Rag was also wearing Zebra pants and a yellow and green scarf.
It ends in tragedy when a young dipper pushes him over an advertising hoarding and in front of the train nicking his friends and family railcard.
The dipper says it didn’t happen and police subsequently convict a City fan.

I know.. I was thinking about 45k ish where I was sat in the North Stand.. There were loads of empties at ko but it filled up after about 15 minutes or so.. would like to know where that figure came from

It's either sinister or incompetent. Probably the latter with the new system. I have missed less than 5 games in this stadium. Conversely I am sight impaired and deluded.
