Pep Music : Radio 5 Live Special

[oldius]

And no Johnny Cash? He is the football guru's guru, but musically he's a philistine!

Indeed, but I think the premise of the show was to link your life and music, so we had songs about New York and Catalonia and Manchester for example.

Spot on .. so (so) true. Really think THIS is the period most of us will look back on...only have to look at other clubs to know these precious times don’t last forever.

Two great usernames there

 

[Pigeonho]

The Pep interview getting plenty of air time on social media. Can’t remember a manager having one of those before? The music one I mean done by the BBC.

But he could have had the Johnny Cash track 'God's gonna cut yer down!' as a tribute to all the PL teams from last season!

And no Tarrega! Guy got run over by a tram in Barcelona! Bet Pep's ne'er 'eard of 'im!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Must be the first in a series. Next up is Peg, whose playlist will include:

• Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
• Money (That's What I Want)
• I'm Down
• Please Release Me

Have you forgotten the Ivor Biggun classic PB?

 

[Bald fraud]

Rather than boo the CL “anthem” (which previously I always have) just drown the fucking thing out with chants of Guardiola, that way we respect Pep and don’t have to hear the uefa music

This is a brilliant idea !

Probably never heard of Alan Bradley who suffered the same fate. That tram system in Barca is obviously dangerous, Gaudi also a victim.

The media still don't like Pep, they wanted the narrative to be that this is the Premier League, we'll cut you down to size! And they wanted the Peg/Pep show to be the running story and it wasn't. And Pep didn't suck media dick, he looks bored with them and doesn't court them, they portrayed the interview he had after that appalling Chelsea game in his first season as being scandalous behaviour! And much merriment was had when we came third that season.

Things have changed now but Pep hasn't, the media still don't particularly like him, but they have to accommodate him because he's so bloody good at what he does and I get the impression they're coming round to the fact that he might be a fascinating bloke and they should capitalise on it before he's gone, hence this rather bizarre 5 Live Special.

Pep strikes me as an intense bloke, here for the football and the freedom City give him and that's it, he's bright and clearly loving the fact that the fans chant his name but it always seems as if he's off somewhere else.

Pep is on a football journey and we are one stop on the road, he's having a good time and so are we, the real trick is to turn his time here in to a lasting legacy.

So you think they created this interview, which has been all over the place since it’s release, something no manager (as far as I can recall) has ever had - even though they don’t like him? Why would they do that?

The reason Liverpool and United's success did not last was bad management, United simply for example have no plan whatsoever. Barca get success coach after coach, like Real Madrid. Why? Because they are very well managed. We won't collapse to be mid table club all of a sudden, success will flow no matter the coach really as long as City is well managed.

AC Milan and Inter Milan's success did not last because they relied on their backers money completely, ie making large losses for decades.

100% agreed, there is no chance City will implode when Pep leaves. Txiki and City will start looking at options for Pep's replacement 18 months before his contract expires imo. The club is in very safe hands and we will continue to be successful for a number of years.
