By pulga Go To Postthe Pep thread on GAF is gr8/terrible, everyone's moaning about Pep pussying out again :lol :lol :olLiterally the place to find clueless football fans.
The fact that it's football fans like Lunatic, Blablurn and Elsk that are against Pep should say a lot to you guys.
Can't wait until he shits on haters faces once again and the excuses start rolling out once again.

when's the last time city won the quadruple?
By FootballFan Go To PostLiterally the place to find clueless football fans.The only way he can shit on the haters is if he wins the champions league with City. Winning the league will just be proving them right because City is probably in the best position to win the league compared to the other PL sides.

Pep has grown some balls, trying to show he can take a small team who flops in the CL to the top of the world.
By Pappe Go To PostPep and his possession based football is not gonna work in EPL.he learned how to counter attack in the bundesliga
By Pappe Go To PostPep and his possession based football is not gonna work in EPL.Jesus christ. What a premface comment.
What next, la liga is mostly skill, Serie a is super tactical and epl play hoofball

Pep has mastered all arts. And the fear in your post is leaking through my tablet.
Allardyce is so excited.
The chance to out-tactic Pep.
Pep has come to Sam's house, and Sam is ready with the scalping knife.
Potential Jose reunion is so stale by comparison.

the list is much longer actually but these were the high profile ones, relatively speaking. All of them are young, Marry has one eye on the future and the other one on....well it's hard to tell sometimes but it points upwards.

The remixes between segments on Second Captains are great. The Eric Cantons and John Delaney ones especially.

By FootballFan Go To PostJesus christ. What a premface comment.yes my point of view is EPL centric but it is so because of what i have noticed. Possession based football did not help Wenger win anything in the league. LVG is struggling. AVB struggled earlier using same tactics. Can u help me with a team which adopted this strategy in EPL and manged to win the league?

I have yet to see Pep adopt a different strategy than possession based So yes i have my reservations regarding his strategy working in EPL.

Incredible. You are so high up Pep's arse that nothing can save your soul anymore. You breath, eat and live his shit. In Pep's arse. Guardiola is a terrible cunt-person and is killing the beautiful game anywhere he goes.
Oh yeah, Manchester Club are playing again tonight. Not sure what to expect really. Stoke usually not as strong away.
By Fintan Go To PostThe remixes between segments on Second Captains are great. The Eric Cantons and John Delaney ones especially.Yeah, love those 2
Took me ages to find the John Delaney one cos it sounds just like Rihanna, turns out its that Sia song with Shia Laboeuf in the video
'HE'S KUNG-FU SCISSOR-KICKED A FAN!'
Pep can "just" win the EPL 2 or 3 times and still do a good job, if he does it convincely.
EPL is always a prestigious trophy. And continuation of success is a success in itself.
United money has to translate to something at some point right? Can't accuse City of simply buying their way into titles if other clubs have the same resources.
City have always struggled even in years they win it. Their team potential have always been there but it was never fully realized. An on and off team. If Pep can make into a constant steamroller able to walk into titles that's an achievement.

Do you like when they cover Irish football/FAI? Or is it boring to you as a non-Irish listener?
By Fintan Go To Post"I CARE NOT ONE JOT ABOUT HIS SUPREME TALENT!"Don't mind when they talk about the wider FAI, don't have a clue what they're talking about when its county-level stuff.

Looking forward to the discussion about the 5m Euro payoff. Don't quite understand how Delaney has kept his job after that, assume there's some nuance to it that I missed.
you don't need tactics to win the Premier League, lol at all of you.
Wenger never won it with his tiki taka because their team is simply not good enough. And when it was (2008?), United were much better.

Even if Pep doesn't win anything at Man City he will turn them from being a rich team that players go to for the money to a place where some of the best players in the world will genuinely want to go.
Started the Ramble from the start as well. They seem really cynical and overly serious about incidents that normal fans find hilarious, like Drogba's meltdown after the Barca semi.
Wonder if they made a conscious decision to start taking the piss out of the game at some point, its certainly a better listen than moaning about it.

Not only will he do that, but he will win the Champions league within 2 seasons. People will say he needs to do it with Brescia to prove himself to the internet.

Completely missed your reply. But I'll file this one under joke posts.

The Pep news is made roughly 50 times worse by the Gallagher brothers being intractably smug about it. Why not release another completely forgettable soft-rock album of mediocrity about it, cunts.
By Hitch Go To PostGuardiola won't win the CL at City.
He can't even win it with Bayern. Just imagine Pep running the Liverpool sick bay. Nobody'd be alive.
Wait, if Sassuolo sold their 2 goal scorers who do they count on to score on Roma tonight then?!
Acerbi, please keep a clean sheet!

Tactics (which Pep is incredible) and his man management aside, I wonder how Pep will take the beatings the English press will give him.
They're simply the best at being the worst.
They're simply the best at being the worst.
Guardiola did not inherit a great Barcelona team, he shaped and moulded it into the beast it would become. Pique, Busquets and Pedro did not just magically appear to form a lethal backbone for the team. Selling the icon that was Ronaldinho must have been super easy, Deco who had served the club well was let go too. Not easy decisions just to be clear.
With him at the helm we pressed the ball with intelligence and urgency, something that had been ignored for too long especially by the attacking players. Was he blessed that iniesta, Xavi and messi were peaking? Sure, but individual quality does not win you matches when there is no method of ball supply or circulation in the right areas. The movement and spacing off the ball is what gave messi, Xavi and iniesta the platform from which to demolish all in their path. Even defensively new systems were utilised and he would readily experiment during clasicos, sometimes it worked, other times he would correct his errors swiftly. Switching formations on the fly and playing players out of their natural position because that might mean a small gain over the opponent in a certain part of the pitch was a risk he was always ready to take. I could go on but everybody knows about his achievements at Barcelona. People who downplay the impact he had not just on the clubs he managed but on football in general must be kidding themselves.
Guardiola at Bayern is not a success because he could not win the champions league? Yet, just how difficult is it to win the champions league? Extremely so, many things need to fall your way for it to go right, having the most expensive team does not guarantee anything just ask city and madrid. Even having a great squad and good coach does not mean you are immune to stupid decisions by your players or just an off form performance.
Injuries to his major players have cost Bayern trophies too, are those injuries down to guardiolas training methods or just bad luck, that I can not say. Even the losses to madrid and Barcelona in the semi-finals can be attributed to bad luck to some extent (madrid) and facing a super tier Barcelona. Against Barcelona you can add to that he had key players missing and even then it took a terrible decision from neuer and a God tier goal from the greatest player of all time to settle the tie.
Two semi-finals, two losses to the eventual winners of the competition. Did his tactics after going behind contribute to more goals conceded, definitely. Against madrid at the Allianz arena, they conceded from two set pieces and the tie was effectively over with half an hour gone. Against Barcelona 2-0 down, he made the decision to try and get an crucial away goal or go home and try to beat Barcelona 3-0. They concede a third in their search for an away goal and the tie was over. Those are risks he took and should be held accountable for but to label him a coward is insulting. These multibillion dollar teams are not after his services because he is a coward. It's because he is the exact opposite. He has his faults like all coaches but he brings fresh ideas and style to teams, sometimes it works out other times it may not. Yet we watch this sport because of its unpredictability not because it's ruled by a fool proof formula. This should be a great day for the EPL. Guardiola is here.

It being a home game I can't imagine things staying very friendly if we lose tonight, especially after having squandered the entire January window (the first time since 2005 that we haven't signed anyone in the January window).
