Blimey. What a fucking picture. What a legacy.

💔Pep Guardiola: “People think football gives you everything. The trophies, the nights under the lights, the songs from the fans… and yes, it gives you beautiful moments. But football also takes. It takes time. It takes peace. It takes pieces of you that you don’t even realise are disappearing. For many years, I was obsessed. Completely obsessed. I woke up thinking about football, I slept thinking about football. Even when I was sitting with my family, mentally I was somewhere else — thinking about tactics, training, pressure, the next match, the next title. I gave everything to this game. Maybe too much. There was a moment in my life when my wife looked at me and said, ‘You have to choose. Football or us.’ And the truth is… I chose football. At that time, I believed I was doing the right thing. I told myself this was my passion, my responsibility, my identity. But passion can become addiction when you forget the people who love you outside of your work. You win trophies, and everyone celebrates you for one night. Then the next morning, they ask what comes next. Another game. Another title. Another sacrifice. Football never says ‘enough.’ It always asks for more. And one day, I looked around and realised the people I loved were growing older while I was standing on the touchline shouting about a misplaced pass. My children were becoming adults. Time was moving. Life was moving. And I was missing it. That hurts more than losing any final. Now I understand something I didn’t understand when I was younger: there is life beyond football. Real life. Quiet mornings with your family. Conversations without pressure. Laughing at dinner without thinking about the weekend’s lineup. Being present. Truly present. Football gave me everything professionally, but family gives me something football never could — peace. So yes, maybe it is time to stop for a while. To rest. To breathe. To wake up without pressure in my chest. To be a husband. To be a father. Not a manager. Not a genius coach. Just a man with the people he loves. Because in the end, when the stadium lights go dark and the crowds go home, you understand something very simple: Love matters more than football. And for the first time in many years… I am ready to choose that.”

Sometimes I, Fantasise, Won the league under Mancini, And again with Pellegrini! Don't these times, Fill your eyes, Now we've got Pep Guardiola, And the Blues are taking over, We're never gonna lose, We're always on the booze… 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

They said he’d struggle in English football. He won the league with 100 points. They said he couldn’t win it back to back. He won the Domestic Quadruple. They said he’d never win the European Cup, he’d never win 3 leagues in a row and he’d definitely never win the Treble. He did all three in one season. He then did the unthinkable and won 4 leagues in a row. The greatest manager of all time.

He made us the most feared team on the planet for 10 years. Achieved things that were unfathomable. Gave us memories that would’ve been considered laughable before he made them a reality. We are forever in debt to him. Thank you Pep. 😔💙

10 years is far longer than we thought we’d get. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. 🐐

Luke has travelled all over the world to every City game for God knows how long. Earned the privilege of talking about Football for a living, something most footy fans would LOVE to do. Now he’s a wanker for teaming up with one of the biggest networks? No, you’re just jealous

"It’s been so special here, it’s also my life... We’re leaving with a lovely little man, because he was born here in Manchester... One day, I'll tell him his dad played for this wonderful club!" Nine years ago today: @pablo_zabaleta. 🥹

@thegingerwig City city city !

27 years since it's first Wembley appearance!!!! Cmon City

@BootneckStuff Can’t press like to this RIP ROYAL

17 years ago today, we lost Marine Jason Mackie in Afghanistan. Jason was killed instantly when his vehicle hit an IED. Gone but not forgotten Royal. See you at the reorg.

Personally really hope West Ham somehow stay up. Great club with proper fans 👍🏼

@ShottyHorroh Gingerwig

Who’s the lad on here that does the cool Man City t shirts? The champagne Kushanova stuff etc. Tell him to do a Doku one with the Roku firestick logo lol. I’ll buy one.

What we thinking. I've already sold a few sets. @hirdy1888 @Hoodie1973 @BOOSH_Dawson @KarlRedman13 @MMcadidas Retweets always a help. Thanks for looking.

@PeakSxnti @Bluemoonie4 Same mate , but I believe in Pep

Both Bournemouth and Brentford are fighting to play in Europe and both still play Man City.. Even if they lose, it won't be by big goal margin. I don't see how we don't win the league from here.

@lane_d12 @GBPolitcs To much money being made from the powers that be , they will never do anything about it

@GBPolitcs Two fucking Tier Policing again. Damn the police! Overthrow the current government and deport the illegal scumbags in HMOs, Hotels and wherever else they are being kept.

This Man City song about Erling Haaland is top class. 👏🔝🇳🇴

122 years ago today, #ManCity beat Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup final... becoming the FIRST Manchester side to win a major trophy. 🏆
