Nothing new. Been kicking him since he got here. He’ll be fine. Just a shame some of them can’t be banned from doing the pressers by the club

Must be twenty questions already , all about the cl , they are having fun

So far the presser is all about the cl , the journos are kicking pep whilst he is down

I thought Pep handled himself very well and I don't think the questions were as awkward as he would probably have expected. I thought he appeared quite sanguine about the whole thing to be honest.

No team news bar kev is ok ,they were not interested in this game

% chances of a win in remaining fixtures including Newcastle

CITY
Newcastle 84%
Wolves 77%
West Ham 65%
Villa 70%

Liverpool
Spurs 67%
Villa 61%
Southampton 75%
Wolves 79%

So we have the advantage next two games and they have it for the last two.

Contrary to what most people think the highest chance of dropped points of all the games is Villa away for Liverpool (unless Gerrard helps them!)

Imagine Gerrard stopping them. Aint happening

Great presser from Pep.

Pep Guardiola: "We recover, we're better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today. It's football. We have a big challenging two weeks, especially this week where we have the season in our hands." [via

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne was substituted vs Real Madrid due to tactical reasons, and he will be available for #ManCity this weekend.

(that makes it worse for me , i was shouting never sub kev at the telly )

I’m surprised at that. Usually when KdB is hooked he shows his displeasure. But he didn’t look at all annoyed when he was taken off. Perhaps Pep didn’t want to admit that he took him off because he was knackered?

He won't be playing... same as he won't be playing against us.... his influence once the players step over the white line is minimal

Not a chance

How come we are 1/6 to beat Newcastle and yet Liverpool are only 2/5 to beat Tottenham? A similar difference occurs for the midweek games too. I have put £20 on a Liverpool win by way of consolation.

Surely a better insurance bet would be Newcastle doh me chance win or draw 5/1 ?
