I'm so fickle ;-)

Well done to Pep tonight, shouldn't take much but I thought it said a lot about him.

We learn as a team, we earn as a team.

Think it was a mistake to play without a striker, we were getting joy down the wings, but often had no-one in the box. Iheanacho's confidence must be shot to bits, unless he's been told he was being kept for arsenal.

80 maybe 85 but 95 are you out of your mind ! Personally would never leave before the final whistle but you have to understand the value of getting home a couple of minutes earlier.


Have you got the survey results that you've conducting of people that leave the stadium early, with 'getting home early' as the reason? It would be wonderful to look over them.


What would be the other reasons - Get cold? Left a pie in the oven? The shakes kick in and you need another drink?


Amateur hour if that's the reason. Hip flask is the way to go during those cold nights at Etihad

Is it a mistake if it worked? I mean if he made a mistake that won every game in the competition, would it still be a mistake?

But he isn't just any other manager is he? That's the point which most of you fuckers on here don't get. It's not about instant success - it's all about the bigger picture. He has a a philosophy which has proven to work. Yes he may need to tweak it slightly (i.e. get rid of some of the shit signings his predecessors have made) but ultimately it will come good. Of this I have no doubt

I think the things I described as mistakes were mistakes, which is why I describe as thus. I think if he kept making similar mistakes he wouldn't win the competition. Which is why I think it was a mistake.

Now, if you're showing off coz we beat Watford at home, you're as daft as those that think pep should be sacked coz we lost against Chelsea.

A philosophy which includes spending shitloads of more cash than all your rivals (bar one ever) over a decade or two?

At Bayern 31 mill for Goetze was Bayerns strategic department, he spent very little and a lot of 2 mill players, lewdowski was free as mad as it sounds, Vidal a lot of dough but class. Not much on Alonso but essential to his philosophy Ann what we lack, game management until we get that this season will be a roller coaster.

Ah, so we agree that the club he was at at the time spent a shitload of cash, over a decade or two.

Also, you do know that players such as lewandowski get paid, even if there wasn't a transfer fee?

Now, go and miss the point completely by pointing out how the individual only spent a small-ish shitload of cash, after a decade or two of his club having spent a proper shitload of cash.

How much did he spend at Bayern? I reckon a lot less than we did in the 3 seasons whilst he was there

Forza Pep. He'll sort it. I have faith in that...and as he said this roster is *ever-so-slightly* filled with poo quite honestly. Ramfucked with it even some might say compared to Barca or Bayern.
