Look at his disciples and how they are doing as managers. Arteta, Kompany, Xavi. Compare that to Ferguson. Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Roy Keane. Guardiola is a footballing genius.

Great performance. They took Halaand out of the match, they took Grealish out of the match, they took de Bruyne out of the match before he was subbed. That was not an easy win for City. As is often case, City needed just one moment to win. That it was their defensive midfielder who scored says something. And as usual, Gundogan contributed to it. They didn't show it on the replay, but not long before the goal, he made the extra effort along the goal line to keep the ball in play when the defender was ready to let it ride out. That led to the goal soon after. He's just so good. It will get lost because they won, but City were poor by their standards and frankly I'd say several premier league teams would have beaten them today. Inter showed plenty of heart and were well drilled defensively but they lacked any real quality. Dzeko, Lukaku and Martinez were all absolutely woeful.

He's the best football manager going He also spends a shit load of money Its not either or On the available evidence I find it hard to believe that Unai Emery isn’t the best manager going. Hell I find it hard to believe that everyone doesn’t think Unai Emery is the best manager going. Edited June 10, 2023 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't really be 'us' anymore. The second you become a defacto department of a national government with the funding that comes with that you've become something else, regardless of the name plastered on it. If we were bought out to become a sports washing PR machine, I'd consider the club over and no longer have anything to be a fan of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StewieGriffin Posted June 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2023 Puts it into perspective now that a player all Villa fans fell in love with and felt a deep connection with at our club has gone on to achieve his wildest dreams of winning the Champions League, and no one can knock him for that. It still hurts that he's not with us, but seeing him lift that trophy makes you feel chuffed for him. Congratulations Scott Carson 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 11 minutes ago, DCJonah said: It's a weak argument anyway. Man u spending loads on different players, with different managers with different ideas isn't comparable. Through a decade of financial cheating Pep has been able to spend more money than any one manager on their team. Because he’s such a good manager they haven’t needed to change managers every couple of seasons. There is a reason why he’s been able to build a dynasty at both Barcelona and City. If you put him in charge of Man U 6 years ago it would be Man U winning the treble tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
