  1. I did not give this guy enough credit early on. Now he's back I've missed him so much.
  2. True but I'd just think it's a great chance to get a youngster that experience of being round the first team. Kellyman not fit again?
  3. Why the **** do we need 2 keepers on the bench. Thank God Pau is back.
  4. Just hope Pau is in that starting line up.
  5. I'd like to see Diaby and Bailey start some games together.
  6. @Chindie what @lapal_fanhas written above is absolutely correct. You need to force the issue. My wife works in mental health and the system is ****. Like everything linked with the NHS its broken. These services are having to refer people to other services and GPs because they have to prioritise those who are severely mentally ill. Its shit but that's the situation. By the sounds of your post you feel like things are worthless so this is where you need to fight for yourself and demand that help. Go to A&E or phone an ambulance and demand it. Tell them how you are feeling. I had a close friend take his life last year. He didn't get the help he needed and he got worse and worse. I've seen the devastation to his family and friends. I wish things could have been different. Please seek the help you need. Things feel bad because you're unwell. If it was a physical injury making you feel this way you'd go and get the help you need. Don't push it to one side and accept these delays just because it's mental health. I sincerely hope you get the help you need.
  7. I hope there is actual justice and he has to pay this money combined with his defamation case.
  8. I didn't need these allegations to know he's a word removed.
  9. Yeah I'd agree to some extent but I can't think of another manager considered an all time great that have this many dodgy associations linked around them. As a player then 2 out of 3 clubs managed. It's a lot for one man.
  10. Doping in football Good article on doping in football mainly focused on Italian teams. I enjoyed this bit though. Just speaks of his character. And then amazingly some dodgy dr was with him at Barcelona. Don't forget barcelona paying off refs. How many other great managers should have these question marks next to their achievements?
  11. The whole pep thing reminds me of Michael Jordan. People are so obsessed with him as the GOAT that these myths seem to appear that he always did everything amazing and never struggled or failed.
  12. I wasn't trying for a gotcha. The talk was the value for money he brings. I was pointing out he failed to win the champions league with bayern and it took him a good while to win it with City.
  13. One season? I think it took him a bit longer. Didn't he join 2016?
  14. Or they weren't at a club who had more money than anyone else due to financial fraud. He failed to win the champions league with Bayern. Took him awhile and a lot of money to finally win it with city.
  15. I'm not a technical expert at all but reading that the redbull have done something crazy with their sidepods. Are they just going to dominate again?
  16. He's also failed with this as well. Zlatan was awful under him. Grealish is not the player he was. Phillips was an utter waste of money. But because Pep has unlimited funds because of cheating we can just dismiss expensive flops and focus on the successes. Nearly every other club can't afford to just write off the losses man city can. £100 million player has started 6 games this season. Any other club and the manager would be slaughtered for that. Phillips would be a record signing for most premier league sides but that amount means nothing to pep and City. He didn't work out, who cares, sign the next one.
  17. He's had a billion pounds plus to build his squad. Name another manager who has had that. Claiming those players only became world class because of his coaching is the trump cult level of ridiculousness that surrounds this guy. An insane comment
  18. Drug cheating as a player. Controversial drug doping doctor works at barcelona with him. Barcelona paying off refs during his time there. Man city found guilty by Uefa Man city investigated by the prem for 115 charges. Can anyone name another top class manager that's had this level of corruption and scandal follow them round?
  19. I think he's a very good manager. Clearly in the top section in current managers. But I'd caveat that with the fact he's always had every advantage given to him. I don't buy this greatest of all time and I think he's over hyped. I think his legacy is in tatters if City are found guilty. I don't think he's done anything in his career more impressive than other great managers. I think klopp with Liverpool is more impressive than anything pep has done. I think if arsenal won the league you could say the same about Arteta. I think he's also a shit of a man and find it interesting that so much controversy in regards to cheating seems to follow him round.
  20. No, I don't think so. There's a huge space between shit and great. I've repeatedly said I think he's overrated and overhyped. I never said he was shit.
  21. No I'm not. I haven't said he's an awful manager. I'm dismissing what he's done at city because of what's built it. I haven't dismissed any ability he might have. You seem to be doing the thing you're accusing me of.
  22. Maybe I've interpreted incorrectly then. For me, I'd assume that someone who spends time defending him from criticism and finding ways to argue in his favour, even though there's doping allegations and financial fraud involved, would have to be a fan of his.
  23. Well yes, I'm not bothering because cheating in sport is a big deal IMO. Is there anything worse in sports than cheating? I find it odd that people are such a fan they want to continue to find ways to say he did a great job and just put the cheating to one side. Like I said it's a bit cult like. The man can do no wrong.
