No wonder Sané is laughing, he’s taking the piss. Get yourself fit boy and start earning your pay, before you jump ship to the kraut rags.
I hope the rest are up for this game and intend to put the hammers to the sword instead of spunking away a gazillion chances.

The press conference will be absolutely toxic, I suspect. They’ll all be lining up to have a pop shot. That said, are we even obliged to do one given that Guardiola has already done a press conference for this fixture just over a week ago?

Do what the rags and whisky nose used to do, send in the tea lady, she’s got more football and common sense than the Neanderthals in the so called ‘press’! Then make sure they all get bromide in their tea...

The press conference before WHU will be interesting, 90% of questions will be about the this.

Quite simple - ignore the questions

 

[Bluekiwi]

Can either inflate or deflate them I guess, but they're still professionals and are getting paid handsomely so it really shouldn't be that much of a distraction. Time will tell though mate.

What a shame that we do not have a strong leader like Vinnie to motivate the guys - all down to Pep and his coaching staff - the message "Go out, be ruthless and clinical and put at least 75% of the chances in the opponent's net"

For once I would like vicky to make it clear at the presser that only questions about the game will be answered.

This one everytime please. Don't give the hacks anything. They don't deserve it. I'm seething with certain sections of the press

 

[Damanino]

Not just Pep but the amount of times players will be asked in every interview of this CL ban, and how they gonna react, are they leaving, how they think of a potential points deduction for next season in PL etc., this next couple of months will be fucking toxic.

Even if CAS clears us this couple of months will be a nightmare for City.
And CAS might helps us fuck all and then basically all haters will have a proper court decision about their "truth" which is sickening to even think about.

Exactly, with the appeal under way surely they have to shut down any questions associated with it.

Not Vicky anymore!

 

[citymad]

H'ell need protection and any none game related questions slapped down.

Has anyone got any questions about the West Ham game..... no? Thanks for coming then everyone see you next time. It might be a very short presser lol

Is the right approach.Shut the lowlifes down and just walk out.

I would imagine thats how the club will play it.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Maybe the club should pre-empt the press and clearly state any questions regarding FFP or UEFA are subject to ongoing legalities and will not be allowed or answered , then they can ask Pep when he is leaving and will he be taking Raz,KDB,Bernardo with him
