I don't find Sam Lee bitter towards us and enjoy listening to him talk about City.

Pep apparently happier with the second half than the first.

He seems to say daft stuff like that.

I think after the initial bitter giddyness last week a lot of the media have calmed down and been more balanced/quiet - maybe our oft useless pr and legal depts have actually done something.

He does it on purpose to throw the press I suppose. I bet he lets the players know how he really feels.

You're right.

It is an unpopular opinion.

Thanks. I originally had the sentence structured so I used the singular (i.e. 'MGS was an alma mater of mine, as was CU'). I decided to rework it to use the Latin plural to be self-consciously pretentious, to tie in with my mock lament about the decline in standards at both the named institutions.

Crafton's likely not to have done Latin at MGS as I understand it's stopped being compulsory quite a while ago, but I did it to O Level (grade A, 1984). :)

If I was being pedantic, then you could have italicised almae matres, but I’m not one to split hairs…

That's exactly the reason,reverse psychology.

I genuinely think it’s because Pep said so much mate regarding our innocence, what happens about damages etc if we are innocent? Him saying he has seen the evidence and is fully behind the club has stemmed the giddiness imo

I Agree. That press conference shocked a lot of them. They were thinking that Pep might jack it in and he comes out all guns blazing. I still think its more than poor when Pep has to do it himself at a press conference before a game. Not a peep from anyone else at the club. I'm aware you have to be very careful what you say about these things but surely we shouldn't be relying solely on the manager of the team to fight our corner in these times?
