Trip to Peps special doctor in Barcelona already booked.
He'll be back in 2 weeks.

Riiiiiiight..... bye now.Yep I’ve seen the trailer. Looks like yet another manufactured nugget of the most expensive vanity project in professional sports. The entire idea is a nauseating propaganda tool that top managers of years gone by would have booted into oblivion. Found the 90 second trailer so cringeworthy that not even morbid curiosity could make me watch any more.
This is football for the streaming generation

It’s worse than that, it’s a “city project” to further distance themselves from where the money is coming from. The doc might as well have been called “look at the shiny, shiny”. The city PR campaign is desperate to stop people talking about the human rights abuses that fund the mega stars. Or the cattle proding of former business partners.Yep I’ve seen the trailer.

Youre spot on. Ive just read that at one point they describe the upcoming united game as some sort of purist white knights versus, quote, 'park the bus' football. I wonder if they go to lengths to deride the style of other sides that set up defensively versus their 1bn project or is just united? an embarrassing transparent propoganda tool to try soften their image in foreign fanbases and pull the wool over the eyes of people who are happy to be tricked.It’s worse than that, it’s a “city project” to further distance themselves from where the money is coming from.

This is only the latest example of their PR assault to paint the city franchise as the makings of a footballing empire. The finically times and the guardian having rather long winded articles on why city are so amazing without really digging too deep. There’s no mention of the threads against journalists access to the club and it’s players if they dare to link negative Abu Dhabi news coverage. The men running city are not the right hand man of Mansour, but of the crown prince. That guy with with the cattle prod. And there’s simon Pearce. A PR man who is best described as evils pr man, and he works very very hard to make city look above board. So far he’s put a face on city that seems a nice unassuming businessman, and he’s flooding the media with puff pieces. Makes you wonder what’s next.
It’s a shame that the council have taken the approach to “take the money” from Abu Dhabi which really sullys the good name and reputation of Manchester. A city who’s workers refused to touch cotton picked by slaves in America, even though it cost them. City fans might be happy with winning at the moment, but what their club might end up being will pour cold water on that soon enough.
We're going to have to be very flexible without De Bruyne. It's going to be really interesting to watch how we go about it. I wouldn't read too much into him looking better when he moved out wide on Sunday, though. We focused all of our play to the wings because we knew that Arsenal were going to try and be compact in the middle and it worked.Resident City fans - what do you think Pep will do with Bernardo over the next weeks? Will he start majority of games and if so, any chance he gets to play on the wing? He looked much better when he moved there last game and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up playing quite a lot in the upcoming days. Any expected line ups for the Huddersfield game?
Cheers. Any idea when David Silva is expected to be back?We're going to have to be very flexible without De Bruyne. It's going to be really interesting to watch how we go about it.

I actually expect to see a lot of switches in games for the next couple of months. Should imagine we'll see Sterling off the front man regularly and we also have the option of Mahrez through the middle too. If anything, it's going to make it a little tougher for opponents to prepare to face us because we have a few different ways of playing and everything isn't going to be focused through De Bruyne. We'll definitely lose a bit of potency on the counter though as that's where De Bruyne is at his very best.
Sunday's line up very much depends on David Silva's availability. I'd expect it to be very similar to the lineup we saw for the Arsenal game though
Ready for this weekend apparently though whether he'll go straight back in to the starting XI is anyone's guess.Cheers. Any idea when David Silva is expected to be back?
Think he'll play through the middle. Pep has already said David Silva will be on reduced game time this season and now with KDB out, I think he'll make up a midfield 3 with Fernandinho and Gundogan. Can't see him play ahead of both Sterling and Mahrez on the right and he's not great from the left.Resident City fans - what do you think Pep will do with Bernardo over the next weeks?

Proud to support United rather than that lot. Their desperation to overtake and overthrow us has seen them throw many principles any decent person would have straight out of the window.

Its football for christ sake. You'd swear we were Nazi Germany with the shite on this page of the thread.Proud to support United rather than that lot.

Is it? Amazon Video still says "available on 17th August".All or nothing is available now
Pep swears loads which for some reason surprises me
Yep, it's available, on episode 2,Derby dayIs it? Amazon Video still says "available on 17th August".
Football analysts and pundits already have analysis material if City fail this season.DeBruyne's injury is certainly the first crack in the dam. They have depth to handle this injury but IMO he's their most important player. They're not the same without him but maybe still better than everyone.
Yeah it's just football mate. Forget the underlying source of your wealth and the kind of people you're in bed with, cos y'know City are playing pretty football so who cares, right?Its football for christ sake. You'd swear we were Nazi Germany with the shite on this page of the thread.
And what principles is it that we've thrown away? Being bought by Abu Dhabi?
Wait till episode 7 I've heard it's really good.Watched the first episode and it’s us getting thumped 5-0.
I love seeing how a manager like Guardiola works though, and what goes on behind the scenes. He really is a fantastic coach.
You do know United have been in bed with Saudi Telecom for donkey's years right? Your longest running international partnership... wheres your posts about that. You probably don't because you're another person who knows nothing about you own clubs business and spends all your time obsessing about City.Yeah it's just football mate. Forget the underlying source of your wealth and the kind of people you're in bed with, cos y'know City are playing pretty football so who cares, right?
Go watch your sanitised documentary of City, I'm sure you'd lap it right up
Ah yes, that one sponsorship that is bankrolling our entire club and all the success that the one partner has yielded. Absolutely the same thing!You do know United have been in bed with Saudi Telecom for donkey's years right? Your longest running international partnership... wheres your posts about that.
Cry me a river.
