When do the lads fly out?

Probably today I would guess.

Pep still mentioning “Orange Card” at the Watford game, he is not happy with that tackle on Jesus is he?

Cathcart you neanderthal ****.
It's about time that type of challenge was made a red card offence if its all about protecting players. Im all for contact in the game and allowing mini.al contact to go without a free kick but can someone give me any reason booting another player without attempting to contact the ball shouldn't be red?
Try doing it anywhere else and you're getting locked up for assault.

Hmmm my feeling was half a team of youngsters to start and maybe pep will do it that way?

A total wanker. He made no attempt to get the ball and didn't even try and just trip him, or pull him back. Instead he maliciously raked his studs down his leg. He should have walked. This sort of offence needs upgrading.

So they're all going to be hungover after having had City's de facto Xmas party in Leipzig, then.

Rodri, Bernardo and Cancelo aren't travelling with the squad, getting a well earned rest.

Excellent. Now just hope Dias and Walker are on the bench.
