'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

Mourihno kinda owns being a cnut though. He’s not always trying to convince people he’s a pious footballing saint.

I think that's really what it's based in. Jose is just unabashedly himself and doesn't try to hide it.

Pep is always trying to come across as a saint whilst hiding a very shady footballing history. A lot of people have made the comment that he appears as if he's always hiding something and is afraid of being found out, and I completely agree.

I don't get it but he went apoplectic because someone said "Just cus you lost"? What am I missing here?

As someone earlier pointed out, we may not be seeing all of the exchange. The cameraman could have said/done other stuff before he started filming.

I can't stand Pep or his club, but there could be more to the story on this one.
 
yeah there's clearly some context missing here. "just cos you lost" indicates there was a precursor to this that the scrote filming didn't get on camera
 
On all this Pep/Jose stuff, both have their faults but two great managers without a doubt, different styles which makes their brilliance stand out even more. Jose's best days long behind him obviously, which now makes him more likeable, in my opinion anyway.

Interesting that Pep keeps rolling out "innocent till proven guilty", could end up being thrown back at him in a big way for a long time, also makes me think he must be very confident they are likely to get away with the charges.
 
Jose pulling out his Conte material since it’s equally applicable to Pep, another bald cheat
 
Despite Mourinho's incredible success and guaranteed status as one of the greatest managers of all-time, I still think that he seems pretty jealous of Guardiola.

Guardiola, unlike him also achieved tremendous success as a player (tremendous success as both a player and a manager beats 'only' tremendous success as a manager) - it seems clear that several of Mourinho behavioural traits as a manager (good or bad), stemmed from the fact that he didn't get to experience big matches as a player. Plus he beat him to the Barcelona job in 2008, and has generally received far more acclaim in terms of playing styles and influence alongside also winning big trophies for fun like him, and generally would be more in demand if he was 'on the market' for a new job / challenge. If Man Utd for example could realistically have appointed Guardiola in 2016 (clearly City always had the big advantage there), they obviously would have chosen him over Mourinho.

They've been confident the whole time. But confident clubs don't pull every trick in the book to constantly delay things - they'd front the charges up.
And confident clubs don't end up with 115 charges to fight.

As much as I chuckled at Mourinho saying he won clean and Pep didn't - it's hilarious irony knowing who their owner was, where his money came from, and the fact Mourinho had to engineer unprecedented levels of spends to achieve their fairly short lived success.

yep, a lot of dodgy money in football, but all that aside, and maybe stating the obvious, I'd still have Pep and Jose as two of the greats in management. Other clubs and managers have spent an awful lot of money on transfers and not had much success.
 
Well said Jose. The fraudent one is unsurprisingly coming across as a right twat once he doesn’t have a clear advatange over everybody (or he does but is managing to cock that up too)
 
Mourinho has never recovered from the fact that Barcelona board preferred a nobody as a coach at that point of time for the position manager of the club instead of him in 2008. That nobody was Pep Guardiola, a 36 years old former player and manager for one season of Barcelona B.. The ultimate insult for the Special One, regarded at the time as the best manager in the world..
 
What the feck is wrong with him.

Does he behave like that around the players? How on earth can players like someone who behaves like that.

In this context I think what he means was the referee sent Lewis off, because he was being an annoying whiny shit. So, when he got the chance he gave him the second yellow because he'd just had enough of him.
 
What was with his team selection on Saturday?

Finally found a winning formula vs Forest by playing Grealish in midfield, Bernardo Silva and Doku out wide. Won comfortbaly, Doku scores and assists, praised Grealish in that role afterwards.

Rips it up again v Palace by playing Matheus Nunes and Savinho wide, Bernardo back in midfield, Doku on the bench.

Doku and Grealish both not fit to start. It isn't like it is an excuse or anything but we have been riddled with injuries and the squad haven't handled it. Both Ake and Akanji went out injured against Forest as well, which is a much bigger blow than Doku or Grealish being restricted to 20 and 10 minutes respectively.

But I personally think there is some blame to be put at Pep's door at this point, because I think he should do more to keep Gündogan, Walker and Lewis away from the same starting line-up because he should have identified that they are all woefully out of form, too slow and lighweight centrally and in the case of Walker invites pressure because his poor ability on the ball (is currently also awful devensively). He obviosly knows a lot better than me, but until results start changes I think it is fair to critisise what I think is pretty fundamental flaws

Cheers for that, I was aware of the problems at the back you had with the injuries there. Got Lewis in my Fanatsy Football team and I was wondering when he'd be dropped for a good while as he's not exactly been playing well so when he did vs Forest it was no surprise. Definitely agree about him looking lightweight, and that's wherever he plays. Knew he'd be back in at the weekend with Ake, Akanji and Stones all out.

It was the front 6 that surprised me, thought why wouldn't he keep that the same but if Doku and Grealish weren't ready start 2 in a row in quick succession then fair enough. Do you think we might see more of Grealish centrally? His inclusion there against Forest surprised me in a way, but nothing else was working I suppose. Lewis doesn't seem to be the answer, Bernardo and Gundogan struggling as a pair when played together too.

After his performance against Forest I would hope so. I hope he can start both in midweek and in the derby, but I'm not holding my breath.

Grealish was sick and not up to it.
 
not sure why that onlyfans bint sleeping with 100 guys is news. pep’s getting fecked by 11 different dudes every 3 days.
 
Party pooper here, but while there can be some mild enjoyment seeing them drop points - win lose or draw, absolutely nothing matters until this cheating team is punished properly. If they get a slap on the wrist it will be better for them than winning the treble. I dont take huge satisfaction seeing them struggle the way I would with actual rival, this filthy club needs to be punished properly before any celebration.
 
Playing Rico Lewis and Gundogan is the reason they have looked so bad. Both players are tactically inept and both weak on the ball and off it.

If they dropped both, they would be much better for it. Lewis is unfortunately suspended for the weekend
 
1 win in the last 10 now, 7 losses.

What are the chances they completely fall out of the top 4 and finish midtable?
