Jose kicking a waterbottle was minor too, yet he got a ban for it. I'd say pushing a player and screaming his face is worse than kicking a bottle. FA is inconsistent as feck, neither incidents warranted any sort of punishment. Yet some managers seem to get away with more than others.

How has he not been banned for that? If that was Jose, he'd be locked in the Tower of London for at least 5 years. Smh...
Could be true, don't know the Mourinho incident. Pep might be getting more leniency because he's relatively new in England.
I'd agree but Klopp gets the same treatment too. Basically hounds linesmans and gets feck all.
Guardiola and Klopp are adored by the press, therefore no momentum for action ever gets properly going. That's not being paranoid or bitter, it's just the reality of the situation.
Oh my feck. Jose Mourinho would have gone to prison for that. he would be in prison. we would be saying "oh it'd be great to celebrate this derby win with Jose" on sunday because he'd be in prison. That's what they'd have done if he did that thing that the other man did
Grinds my gears. The guy has no idea what it's like to manage a team like Southampton. So to advise a player to go against what his own manager has asked is bang out.
About time Pep gave himself a proper challenge. Go manage a team like Southampton and show us what you can do.

Its quite obvious why Pep didnt get punished for that, the FA haven't realized how much of a cnut he is.
Mourinho was the FA darling when he first came, but his schtick got old and the FA stopped liking him.
The exact same thing happens with Conte and Klopp, they havent been here long enough to annoy the wrong people.

Or even a team like inter. While he's clearly a fantastic manager it's hard to really assess him when his back catalogue is a team with three of the best players in the world at their prime (one of whom was simply unstoppable), titles at Bayern (come on, how highly can this be ranked) and spending huge amounts of dubious money on an already strong squad (finishing 4th and doing the same) and presently leading and doing so very well.
Hell always have a question mark over him in this regard in my opinion.
As I've said many times I don't think he should have been banned. This video is staggering purely for the linesman standing there watching him spend all that time on the pitch like a madman. You simply can't argue that he's being treated differently to other managers here. Sooner the match officials start acting like professional men with backbone the better for the league.
This.
Let's be honest - no-one genuinely believed the FA would do anything. If Jose did the same thing I'd be worried as feck that they would though.
His explanation is also bollocks, no-one screams in another bloke's face and pushes them twice to praise them.

Let's also forget about the Delph dive that went unmentioned and unpunished, indirectly leading to the City equaliser. 
He's an arrogant prick, pretty much like Klopp, do not know how anyone can find them in the slightest way likable. Crying babies when they are beaten and self righteous, egotists when they win.
Summed up perfectly.
Wenger moans but at least he doesn't act like a loon and is reasonable most of the time. Pochettino seems like a nice chap and is rarely disingenuous. Jose is a prick but hasn't been so bad recently, the poor waterbottle aside.
The city players diving is coached. A staple of Guardiola teams.Let's also forget about the Delph dive that went unmentioned and unpunished, indirectly leading to the City equaliser.
Pochettino is one of the classiest managers in the league, I have nothing but respect for what he's doing at Spurs and how respectable of a bloke he comes across as. He's overrated at times but still a top manager and seemingly a top bloke. Jose is nowhere near as bad as he use to be, I'd say he's not even really bad at all. Apart from little digs here and there, which is part and parcel of the game he's much more behaved (most likely as a result of years of being scolded by the FA, I'm sure). If Jose was to push a player twice, run onto the pitch, get in said player's face and scream in it, he'd be trying to talk his way out of a month ban. He kicked a waterbottle and it didn't affect anyone, but Pep basically gets in player's faces and pushes them but it's all good.
The fact that Pep wasn't punished isn't what's annoying here, I don't think he should have been - it wasn't worthy of punishment. The inconsistency is the annoying part.
@Womp spot on with pretty much everything you've said in this thread.
Well, you cannot just randomly change the active rules once it suits you, so I'm not sure what else than forgetting you can do.Let's also forget about the Delph dive that went unmentioned and unpunished, indirectly leading to the City equaliser.
You can only punish it if there’s a wrongdoing to the player. If Redmond comes out and says he found what was said disrespectful then he probably gets a ban. It’s his playing down of it, and the fact he said it was a compliment, that has put the FA in a difficult situation to do anything at all. Otherwise no manager can ever say anything to another teams players, the fact he’s said it exuberantly is irrelevant because it’s only the context and the players feelings on it that counts for anything.
"I'm just passionate"
I'll definitely use that one next time i act a giant dick.

It's a simple thing. Before he criticizes managers for not being attacking enough (and as a result open enough for his one-way approach to work against them) he needs to gift them half a billion pounds to level the playing field.
It's hilarious that a manager, plying his trade at the very top of the table, takes shots at a manager who is doing his job, trying to extract the maximum points from a game with a strategy he believes has the highest probability of success.

The only thing I wonder about Pep is when will the overdose kick in! Looks high as a kite!
Well said and a damn good point. Also it's been what half a bill last 2 seasons that forgets the hundreds of millions of players still in the squad. Would prob need a billion to level the playing field which if Newcastle is around £250m and are a massive team with large stadium etc you can only imagine the worth of some smaller teams. City are probably worth more than the bottom quarter of the league in most seasons
1 - Half of the caf will be in mourning that the inventor of tactics and passing has been beaten
2- What's the over-under on his reactionary spend for the rest of the month? £120m?

If he allowed his defenders to simply clear a ball, he would be a better coach in my eyes
.Can we give this "Half the cafe are secret city/pool fans" notion a rest? I see it in every thread now.
So the best goalkeeper in the world(not the EPL) has conceded 4.
The team with a Newcastle reject has scored 4
The team with Karius has only conceded 2
The team that Virgil chickened out for have conceded 2
The team with pressure on the sideline have conceded 2
The team with Ped on the sideline has conceded 4
As #acjimbo would say Football whattttttt
As I would say - really hope Liverpool lose and lose by 3
(Won’t happen today cos City are shit)

Big Sam should give him a lesson or two.If he allowed his defenders to simply clear a ball, he would be a better coach in my eyes
I don't recall saying it was a secret.
Could have easily prevented 2 of those goals.
He’ll go and ask for another £150m to spend now.
You can always lose key games, but losing this way feels better than feeling destroyed on a 0-1 loss.
I think this game marks a milestone of Pep's career tho, I might be wrong, but everytime I saw a Pep team get way behind on a game, they could lower their arms, today his team showed a reaction I'd like to see in some of his Barcelona era games.

Mate that's just the budget for full backs. Probably gonna buy new centre halves a new keeper after that performance.
The execution was off, but I don't think the solution in a Pep team is ever to hoof it. Except it's to an open player.
The scoreline flatters City, but the team will definitely take some positives from this.
Or they scored a couple against one of the worst teams in the league at defending a lead.
Pep to media: I'm happy.
I'm so so so happy Sanchez is going to Man Utd. So happy.
Pep to the board: Give me more fecking money now or I leave your little tin pot club.

Title back on now boys, buckle up!
Another mistake from Ederson and they'll buy a new keeper before the window shutsMate that's just the budget for full backs. Probably gonna buy new centre halves a new keeper after that performance.
