Football 365 seem to have things in perspective.




The delusion is real
After watching Manchester City extend their lead in the Premier League to 16 points on Thursday evening by outclassing Arsenal, Mediawatch was reminded of the words of the Daily Mirror’s Stan Collymore, made in December 2016 when at the height of his weird anti-Pep Guardiola crusade:

‘If Guardiola thinks he’s going to turn up and outplay everybody in the Premier League, and that teams like Watford, Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton and Crystal Palace are going to let his Manchester City side have the ball for 90 per cent of the time and pass pretty patterns around them so they can get a result, then he is absolutely deluded. In fact, he is beyond deluded.

‘If he thinks he doesn’t need to teach tackling or one-on-one combat in training then he’ll be going back to Spain with his tail between his legs. The great managers understand the unique circumstances the Premier League has. They realise it’s not just about playing the beautiful game for five or 10 games, but about grinding it out at times as well over the course of the full 38.’

Turns out that they can play those pretty patterns against pretty much anyone, Stan. But you were at least right that it isn’t ‘just about playing the beautiful game for five or 10 games’; they’ve done it for 28 and counting.



And while we’re talking about people being crudely dismissive and subsequently made to look silly…
…here is what Lothar Matthaus said about Leroy Sane when he joined Manchester City:

“Sane will make several times in Schalke wages at Manchester City and that has been decisive in his decision to make the move to the Premier League. I cannot come up with any other reason. He was playing at a real traditional club at Schalke.

“He will struggle at City. Pep Guardiola will be more than busy to impose his own philosophy at City. He will not have the time to give Sane extra attention when things aren’t going as planned.”

Looks like he found time after all.

Bavarians took it hard seeing Pep reject extending for Bayern and choosing to go to a club like City like a jilted lover, not unlike United fans

Collymore has been made a fool many times over, nothing to waste energy over
