Pep’s Spurs (H) Post-Match Interview

[kippaxwarrior]

Rallying call to the players and fans plus mind games towards the rest of the league saying we are still in this title race

The season starts now

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

Time to step up. Now more than ever.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Sorry, I’m sure his heart is in the right place but not all of us can afford a minimum £68 ticket price. I’d scream my lungs out if I could physically afford to be there.

Appreciate he doesn’t set the prices!

 

[Cricket Blue]

It doesn't help the staging of the game
Fucking Thursday night

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

He's the best manager this club has ever had, or will ever had.

Look at that fire and ice in his eyes. He cares so, so fucking much. After all he's done.

We need to give him all the support he deserves. He's not on about attendance, he's on about atmosphere.

 

[snorky]

I wasn't there. So I should shut the fuck up.

However if I had of been I would not have booed at the half time whistle.
I would have been too busy shouting at Ed to wake the fuck up.

I heard nothing but great support in the second half, and I mean before we scored the first goal.

Anyways I am a tad drunk and should not be posting :)

Goodnight.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

100% correct

He’ll not be here much longer if the fire doesn’t return from players and fans I’m sure

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Hard to criticise from my sofa , but when i do get to home games , i give everything shouting and singing and i do get some odd looks from the more reserved fans we have , but we need to step up on the terraces(remember them) sometimes the team needs a lift.
Having said that , when we scored the first goal , our support was superb and got rigth behind the team and it initimidated Spuds , we need to give the same our players give 100% until the end of the season , Pep is right the team needs the fans to be more vociferous and make the Etihad a cauldron for the opposition.

 

[Blue Smarties]

A rallying call from the boss. We all need to step up. Let’s fucking do it.

Edin dzekooo

 

[awest]

Then we need to do a better job of making that obvious. The team doesn’t magically now why the fans are booing.

All together now...

"the referees a wanker"
"the referees a wanker"

and repeat.

Pep can’t do anything about that.

And he isn’t talking about numbers, he’s talking about the energy. He said he knows it’s ultimately his responsibility to get the fans back onside but he wanted to say he wants more.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I don’t think you can look into his words to much. He often praised the atmosphere last season. He probably feels that morale is low throughout the club at the minute, a second half comeback is one way to ignite a season. The second way is to keep the players and fans focused and don’t let these standards slip until the rest of the season. You can’t say he hasn’t got the passion for it, he wants it and he’s testing us all.

 

[SebastianBlue]

All together now...

"the referees a wanker"
"the referees a wanker"

and repeat.

Exactly.

Make it fucking obvious, don’t boo when we’ve just conceded two goals in two minutes right before halftime and it can be interpreted as booing the team.

 

[m7mcfc]

That was pretty strong.
I interpreted that as the home crowd have become entitled and this fucking league is not easy to win. So get off your arses and give us the support to go and win another title.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Cut out the light shows then please.

 

[argyle]

Continued in the post match press conference.

Says he wants reaction from whole club and not just players. Says everyone has become comfortable.

 

[lunebleu]

He was shocked by the Booing. If you were one of them you should be ashamed. The players are not as hungry as previous seasons and maybe he thinks he can no longer motivate them. I sense he may well be off soon.

 

[fuskarn]

Some newer quotes:

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It was so reassuring on so many levels. Firstly that we’ve been right in our assessment of certain players and the team in general. We’ve been spot on to question the desire. It’s also reassuring because it gives me great hope that we’ll come back eventually. I don’t know when, probably not this season, but some point in the near future we will properly challenge for the title again. Purely because we have Pep and he is incredible. A lot of these players need to be sold and I think we have a very interesting summer in store for us. The sales will be very revealing.
