Some pretty pointed comments from Pep there. Seems thoroughly pissed off that the Champs League has not been embraced by all at the club.

Hes speaking directly to the fans who dont show up for CL matches and treat the competition like the first round of the League Cup

Pep is here to do a job. He doesn't care about fans the way Mancini did.

Imagine asking fans to support the team to try help them win this competition, he has some cheek.

a big issue with the home games only fans...
those that go to away games get behind the team far better.

When have we not supported the team? I might be wrong but in my 20 years of having a season ticket I never once saw City fans not support the team.

The problem is we can support the team, but ultimately it's up the Uefa and the referee is we win or not. That's the problem.

BBC Breakfast devote 90% of their CL coverage to Ronnie's Rape and add at the end "Pep says City aren't ready to win the competition, despite spending millions they lost to Lyon".

Be honest now Mase, how many City fans do you hear saying that they couldn't be bothered with this competition? League all the way, fuck UEFA and the Champions League the corrupt shower of cunts.

What Pep is saying is that we need to demand to win it, push the players to win it, we do that in domestic games, you can feel it in the ground, I generally only get to one CL game a year but I don't get that same feeling on them nights that I do in league games. There's a more cynical, negative feeling about the place and I'm sure the players feel it too.

Loads. I've said I can't be bothered with the competition. But was a screaming when Dave scored the goal in the last minute the other week? Absolutely!

We can hate the competition but still support City in it.
