Pep documentary on BBC

Sorry mate, I wasn't denying what you saw of course. I was just saying that there weren't many dissenters. I remember some on here though so of course they existed.

I remember just how ungrateful some fans are, a blue who I know a few weeks ago after we’d drawn against Palace was advocating Pep should be sacked and replaced with Shaun Dyche!
 
I'm in Canada and don't have BBC, any links where I can watch it?

Thanks

Brilliant that. Winter couldn’t resist with his little dig though with. The champions league is the trophy “Abu Dhabi” wanted. The fuckin ponce!

I was disappointed he was chosen to be in the show, he has written some vile stuff about us over the years and like you say got digs in a show celebrating pep
 
Re Henry Winter.
1. He punted his line that the owners had a single goal which was winning the Champions league. This is simply not true. Pep himself said elsewhere that no-one had ever said to him that he had to win the CL.
On the other hand, winning the CL became, if not an obsession, the biggest professional goal that Pep set for himself.
2. The documentary was about Pep’s genius and Winter‘s comments on spend were both inaccurate and inappropriate. As Pep has often said, in the final analysis he is a coach who has to make the best of the players that the club give him. Deciding how much to spend is not within Pep’s duties. So “you have spent £1bn, so you had better win the CL” is just Winter garbage.

It was bbc 606 and they only put the really reactionary ones on! To be honest I think lots of people were disappointed with the team selection that night. I was! But with pep you have to take the rough with the smooth - some genius moves come off, some don’t. Starting without rodders and Fern was a head scratcher tho!

From memory, wasn't Fernandinho coming back from a bad injury and Rodri had made a few mistakes running into the final? Maybe Pep didn't want to take the risk

My take is that Pep decided to beef up our attack to cope with their outstanding defence and to risk our defence against their poor attack. But what do I know? In the event we had no flow and made a basic error when they scored.
 
Thought it gave a great insight into Pep as a person and his climb to the top.
Well balanced throughout the program and great respect from all the people who have mattered on his journey.
Thought the clip of him playing golf with Cruyff was special, no words just two greats enjoying time together.
Don't let Winter spoil a great watch.
