Pep Guardiola was chased on his bike by a crazy fan through Manchester city centre tonight

Thread full of old men displaying unconscious bias

You’d be alright with me waiting until you were on your own on a dark quiet street and bellowing almost incomprehensible rude as fuck bullshit at you at the top of my voice then start chasing you?

You’d think I was a lunatic then either turn around and lamp me one or run away. There’s fucking zero chance that you’d turn around and say “oh hello old chap, since you were so polite I’ll stop and converse with you”.

Manners cost nothing and this **** displayed none!

Something that only occurred to me yesterday was that if, and that’s a VERY BIG if, Pep had lost his temper and turned and thumped the man because he was concerned that he might be going to attack him, can you imagine the uproar?

Luckily for us we have a calm, measured manager who would not resort to such a thing.

The headlines in another scenario don’t bear thinking about.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think there's much wrong, he's obviously can't believe his luck to see Pep out and about. He's a bit OT, but no harm was done. Pep will be used to it and will see the funny side. Pep didn't look scared, just bemused.

I mets David Silva in Spain and kinda lost my cool with excitement. There was a ton of questions I wanted to ask him, but I just stood there blank smiling like a demented fruitcake.

What a prick.

One thing to ask for pictures etc. at public events, something else entirely to harass someone in their personal time.

 

[Sir peace frog]

hope he gets the attention he wanted by way of a good fucking kicking , wanker

Everybody saw famous people walking in the street or in a shop or restaurant or whatever.

And is natural to feel inwardly "WTF!!?".

You feel it and people can feel it if they see David Silva or Guardiola or an famous actor or singer. But also most people, like you, know how to control their emotions and they just act discreetly.

It's a decent bike, and certainly not cheap.

There are thieves who target people who ride expensive bikes and a lot of them get stripped down for parts.

As the owner of a £6k road bike I have that anxiety often.

I'd have anxiety riding a £500 bike in some of the places I've lived.

Thanks mate.

However we do have a new generation on our hands, a generation that have to film everything and act like its their best day ever with false high pitch giddy voices. You can see it on YouTube with young folk screaming OMG when there only peeling a fookin apple. It's the way the world is now and its up to us all to just get used to it, including Pep also.

By the way, I was wearing a Silva 21 t-shirt at a water park in tenerife, it was David's good mate that introduced us.....he was stood right behind me and I never saw him. I nearly pissed myself.

Same as the nobs wrecking the goalposts for a photo on the last day.
The Manc language has changed since I lived there…please tell me that’s not how everyone speaks these days.

No it’s not Julian x
