Argh, for a second I thought you’d blended Pep’s face on top of Woody’s there, would have been perfect!
"I have the feeling United are coming back," said Pep Guardiola is my idol in jinx attempt

- Start date
He already knows how good ETH is. Wouldn’t be surprised if he left within the next few seasons so he can say he left before we won the league again.
Imagine signing Haaland and not winning the league
I for one am just excited that we are getting mentioned in the same breath as the words title race.
He’s not wrong if we’re being honest. You can say the same about Newcastle really. If we lost next week it’d just make our goal of top 4 a bit harder. If they lose it’s their goal of the title over
He is a bit right though, he has made the standards so ridiculously high when they are not reaching them they get thrown the money thing at them. He is in a way victim of his own success.
Funny, we’re both due to play him soon. Weird how that works.
I don't think they have more pressure at all, because no one seems to actually care that much about them
look at the immense pressure on our managers post-Fergie for not living up to expectations
or the pressure on Fergie if he ever lost two games on the bounce
if City lose two games on the bounce people are like, oh thats nice..
nice try, Pep

I am a fan of his but this is utter nonsense. They have those expectations because of their body of work and they are comfortably the best team.
Teams who haven't won a PL title in *checks notes* 19 years and 10 years respectively have lower expectations than the side who has won it the past 4 of 5 times? Why, I never.
Actually good. We’re finally being taken seriously, Pep is playing his mind games against us.
Yeah we are being talked about more now than when topping the league in Jan 2021
All about the oil money.
Anything less than continuous quadruples is failure, Pep.

Anyone else thank their lucky stars we got ETH before City lined him up to replace Pep? He would have been the perfect replacement and pretty much guaranteed city's dominance for years.
Has anyone called him a hairless conman yet?
It's funny how this never works in his favor in the CL.
Yeah absolutely
How does any result in wk 18 decide anything.
Is that what he said before they twatted us 6-3?
Tbh, I think that, as a manager, "hairless Koeman" would be a much bigger insult to him.
There are lot in here who thought Ten Hag was waiting for City job and would turn down United.
I am so glad we didnt hire a manager last season midway and rode the storm until we got Ten Hag, would have been a mistake to hire anyone else.
Yeah he did but that was a team with Varane off injured in first half and Casemiro not match ready
1. Mind games aren't a thing
2. He's actually right. City getting 90+ points and not winning the league gets him flack. Us or Arsenal getting 90+ points and not winning the league gets nothing but applause. Function of where both teams are coming from.
Varane went off but lets be honest, City looked like they were going to score from every attack from minute 1, even whilst Varane was playing.
Lets not kid ourselves.
They looked stronger but honestly feel we have grown a bit since then but how much we will see next Saturday
Yep, the next 2 PL games are going to be a test for the team to see how far they have progressed.
I feel as if we have to win 1 of them.
It’s because city’s B squad could compete for a champions league spot, so yes, the scrutiny is well placed.
Freak result if you consider the circumstances surrounding that game. It’ll be much different when we play them at OT.
Yeah definitely need to win one
Hopefully Ten Hag sees right through this...
Both brilliant and terrifyingHopefully Ten Hag sees right through this...
That means Pep is right then?
Would be fun to see City loosing the title and finishing behind us, all after signing Haaland, who will score 30+ goals.
Hopefully Ten Hag sees right through this...
Think by people who know football, like Pep, myself and a few other members on here. But still going under radar in the eyes of the pundits & media, maybe noticed a slight shift after Bournemouth
Hopefully Ten Hag sees right through this...
Ehhh bit of a stretch to say we're title contenders. We're def making progress but I don't think it's a serious statement to make.
Data doesn't back it up: xGD per match is still ~top four level rather than champions. None of the supporting metrics like PPDA, High turn overs etc. are up there too. The only one I saw was the big chances conceded stat which made our defence look pretty good.
Average attack / decent defence lines up with the eye test too.
Hopefully Ten Hag sees right through this...
