Pep Fraudiola

I just hope Arsenal don't outdo us.

Can't believe all the empty seats at the Etihad for a game this big. I know they're on a crap run but that looks pretty bad.

Manchester City don't have the fan base to match their success and rise up the footballing hierarchy.

What a load of old tosh this is. Henry Winter saying we need Guardiola because he is "educating" us. He's not educating us, he's having his pants pulled down in the first difficult managerial job he's ever had. Long may it continue. The premier league will continue "educating" these managers who think they know it all because they've won things abroad.

Tbf if Pardew is one of the best English managers about then we could definitely learn a thing or 2 from Pep. He's light-years ahead of any British coach I can think of for sure

Hard to say. Pep has never managed a mid table team has he? He's always had the best players and resources in the league he has been in. This is the first proper test he's had and his Man City team themselves don't look much better than a mid table team. Pardew may well have been able to better, but we'll never know because English managers are never given a chance with the top clubs.

Pep's no Nigel Pearson

Fraudiola.

How did we not beat Man City by 5 or 6? 

 

Guardiola is still a great manager but he's got a lot of work to do.

I normally quite enjoy reading Henry Winter's articles, but he sounds like a drooling sycophant.

Guardiola had won 6 in a row in the league and 10 in a row in all comps until he decided to piss about with selection and tactics.

I see what you're saying, but I think there's a reason these managers aren't getting a chance with the top clubs and a reason why Pep has managed Barca and Bayern, though like you say he's not had it that tough by any means and started at the very top. Moyes is arguably the most 'successful' British coach about and he bombed at Utd...but then so did LVG who was supposedly one of the top coaches in the world and he got found out as an absolute clown for me. Difficult argument. I think Howe will get a chance at the top one day though because of the style of football he promotes though.

Also how the heck does Red & White clash with all blue shirts & blue shorts? 

 

Arsenal love an excuse to wear their away kit.

It's part of the puma contract 

 

if we ever get the puma contract that seemingly everybody is desperate for then we will be doing the same

Before Derby I was genuinely touting Nige as the best British manager about, he'll be back 

[Fox92]

Hope Arsenal see this out/score again.

That Bonny Tyler steward ad is beginning to annoy.

Are the Man City players seriously wearing shirts with Gundogan's name on as they walk onto the pitch? He's hurt his knee, he's not bloody dead!  

 

Yes I saw them in the tunnel before the game and thought WTF!

[foxes21]

Man City get into a dangerous position in the box. 5 seconds later, they've passed it back to their CB's? What is the point

Wish the c**t would get lost in France or something! 

[Koke]

That goal was coming.  

 

Man City have totally dominated the second half.

[Tuna]

Nice finish but Cech should be doing better there surely?

[FireFox]

Silva offside

[Barky]

Arsenal are mentally weak as usual.

It's usually around Christmas time that the mandatory North London bottle job begins.

Hate Spuds... But least their beating one of our relegation rivals!
