Fuck him off and Bring in a proper manager like Sean Dyche.
I don't acknowledge our last win at Anfield either due to Covid and empty stadiums.I don't acknowledge their win as the season was interrupted by covid.
It's always Anelka in 2003....what a goal that was.

The fact that ANYONE thought we needed a “Support Pep” thread tells you how deluded some fans are!
Support him? We should be volunteering to crawl over broken glass for him, given the embarrassment of riches he has produced over the last decade.
I’m in my 60s and the last decade has wiped away (almost) all the heartbreak of watching other teams…teams I’ve hated for decades…winning everything. Liverpool, then Arsenal & United.
For the past decade, I’ve been treated to the best football ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN in Britain and won more than anyone has any right to expect.
Pep makes an occasional brain fart, but imagine the work going on in that big shiny bonce!
No, now is not the time to rally around and “support Pep,” now is the time to thank him and the players for delivering Heaven on Earth for the last decade and understand that we are facing multiple serious hurdles at the same time.
I love the man, but that doesn’t mean I will always agree with everything he does, every team he picks or every player he buys. However, he is a football genius who has forgotten more about football than our collective brain trust has ever, or will ever, know.
Support? No need.
Adore? Already do.
Respect? Who couldn’t?!
No, Pep’s fine and already secure in his legacy. The people who REALLY need support are the PLAYERS! They’re hurting. They’re sore. They’re tired. They’re forlorn.
Let’s make Wednesday a night to remember by getting behind them, loud and proud, from the outset, and being the 12th man, helping them on to victory!

We are and we will support Pep.
Unfortunately, It’s all just come to a head at once.
I’ve just watched the Together: Four In A Row documentary for the first time, this evening. Last season, everything at the club was about winning a record fourth league title in a row. The intensity it took after winning a treble the season before must have been incredible. To keep the level of concentration, performances and intensity going week-after-week for four straight seasons… I can see why we have been like we are this season. It’s inevitable there’d be a come down from it at some point, you cannot keep that going.
You could even see it in the immediate week after we’d achieved the Four In A Row, with the defeat to the Rags in the FA Cup final, the intensity and pressure had already left us and we just weren’t there for that final.
This season we’ve been the same.
Add to that the injuries we’ve had.
Add to that the poor form of those who have been fit enough to play.
And you got the [im]perfect storm to see what’s happening in front of us this season.
But it’s not a time to panic or see our arses. They’ve all got more than enough credit in the bank to have a dip. Christ, most teams (other than City, but even a few times City) in the last decade have had a dip after winning one league title, never mind four.
In 2012 City won the league and then finished 2nd in 2013
*In 2013 United won the league and then finished 7th in 2014*
City 2014 Champions, 2015 2nd
*Chelsea 2015 Champions, 2016 10th*
*Leicester 2016 Champions, 2017 12th*
*Chelsea 2017 Champions, 2018 5th*
City 2018 Champions, 2019 Champions
City 2019 Champions, 2020 2nd (*but 18 points behind 1st*)
Liverpool 2020 Champions, 2021 3rd (*but 16 points behind 1st*)
…then City have won the league in the last four seasons.
Despite it being called the ‘Pep and Klopp era’, Liverpool were up-and-down a fair bit, finishing 4th 4th 2nd 1st 3rd 2nd 5th 3rd, during Pep’s time at City… that’s a bit up-and-down but still impressive. However, when you think we’ve finished 3rd 1st 1st 2nd 1st 1st 1st 1st under Pep… that’s incredible!
Like I say, credit in the bank for Pep. And credit in the bank for the team, even the likes of Walker (who is being disrespected appallingly by City fans on here and especially on social media).
It might be the end of their time for a lot of them at the end of this season, but the man I want here more than any player is Pep to see us through a good rebuild of the squad again.
Let’s proper get behind him at the Forest game: 110-111, SSL1, SSL3, 1894 lads and lasses, and everyone else!
‘Say that you want me…(say that you want me)
All of the time…(all of the time)
Say that you need me…(say that you need me)
Always be mine…(always be mine)

Sorry if my post offended you, it wasn't my intention. I just can't stand by and listen to all of the bollox spouted on here and watch our gaffer struggle.The fact that ANYONE thought we needed a “Support Pep” thread tells you how deluded some fans are!
