And also, I’m glad we get to roll out the likes of Dickov and Goater or Dunne who can say “wow look how far this club have come and how amazing it is” rather than have to listen to Neville, Scholes and Keane talk about how much better it was 20 years ago and the state it is now

And again on Pep, I also think he’s learned that from being at city. When he joined he’d have had no idea who Paul dickov was, but he’s came to realise how massive that moment was, so he knows how important that sense of giving the fans something to feel is. No matter the result

This is the issue with how so many people view football, and it’s only really through listening to Pep recently that I’ve really grasped it. Quality and enjoyment in football shouldn’t be based on success, it’s about how the fans were made to feel.

Wait where tf were blossoms btw, weren’t they advertised?

@Sensanetional KDB also didn’t take it the best tbf. It’s kinda interesting that majority of our ‘big names’ have had some tensions in their final season, think KDB, Sterling, Aguero, ferna, Yaya obviously, all had some frustrations

@____TJ_______ It can be perceived as quite ruthless, just see KDB, some players handle it differently and don't take it as personal

Obviously left on bad terms and I’ve never found out why

@Sensanetional It was a weird one bc he’d been alright that season, but yeah his gametime went down, I would’ve expected pep and the club to try and convince him to stay for Haaland but maybe they didn’t so that didn’t help

@____TJ_______ Sterling was benched in the latter stages of the CL and he thought that he deserved better, the writing was on the wall by that point. He was clearly past his best too

Unless there was no real moment and he just was unhappy, in which case would make sense why it’s never really discussed much, but the fact he wasn’t even at the parade for that season was and still is a bit of a mystery

Bc he’s not a bad guy the exit was handy quite smooth, there was no bad press and he gave his all right until the end. No bad press still going on bc whatever went down still isn’t discussed. But obvious him and pep fell out and maybe others in the club too

@DominicMurphy97 I feel like that is a job for Maresca, you’ve learned from pep himself, auditioned with the academy and then been his right hand man, it’s your job to have a smooth transition and progress us with new ideas but similar philosophies

@DominicMurphy97 In a way yeah but I also want vinny to have his own era if he comes back, not inherit the pep squad and sort it out if you get me

Kompany is, in theory, the only person who could ‘replace’ Pep as a human and character. Which is exactly why it’s a good decision to bring in Maresca first

@youtube_replay1 Maybe don’t do a 45 minute half time ‘performance’ then if you have a curfew

🚨 AMINE EXPLIQUE POURQUOI LE PENALTY A LA FIN A ETE SIFFLER : LA PROD DU PARC DES PRINCES A APPELER POUR ANNONCER UNE FERMETURE D ICI 30 MINUTES !!! Et ca a cause … de Rolland Garos ! L’arbitre a donc décide de garder le penalty, car une seance au tir au but n’etait pas envisageable.

The very last thing you want and need is for kompany to have the pressure of replacing pep and it doesn’t work out. I believe he is and will be a great manager, but just let that progression happen naturally and see if he comes back. Hes the only character who’ll come close

Kevin Parker getting booed 😭

@SamLee Yeah good balance, Noel’s question showed we don’t need to find out what the city fans mean to him, he’s bored of it

I have to say, I wasn’t sure about how this would go tonight, considering the goodbyes were said after the game yesterday, but the organisers have got this spot on, it’s been excellent and it’s a great way to draw a line under the Guardiola era
