Didn't have to post this video mate. I watched it and all of a sudden I feel all the rage of 8 years ago all over again. I almost want to punch that bald c**t through my screen.

Then again, I shouldn't have hit the play button.

Well it was to remind a chelsea fan who was in awe of peps barcelona just what c**ts they were, it was supposed to have that effect, that Norwegian w**ker ref btw later admitted he f**ked us in that game, when I see this I think of Messi crying in 2012 when we put them out and I feel much much better 

PL has shown Pep to be exactly what he is: Fraud(iola).

I totally agree that with the team and players that were at his disposal, any manager in the world could and should have won leagues and CLs. Maybe not dominated the world football, but should easily have been one of the best team in the world (like Bayern, they have not "dominated" european football, but are easily one of the best 3 teams in the world).

Pep's philosophy perfectly suited and fitted those barca players. It was a once in a lifetime pairing. But thats done. Done and dusted. At bayern, he got mauled in the semis (as CL is the only way to judge Bayern). But winning those bundesligas should hardly be a reason to celebrate. Bayern have won it, the day the league starts.

This (city) is Pep's real test. and he is failing massively. The extent of the failure is for all to see. You cant keep siting his barca domination as an excuse for Pep. That was a match made in heaven, get over it. Can he do it with any other team which does not have Messi, Xavi, Iniesta? Can he do it in a competitive league like PL? So far the answers seem to be a big fat NOOOO.

Ima leave my comment for when he leaves as the risk of being mock quoted in future is still a big possibility.

People sending death threats to him and his family need to get a f**king grip. Football is not life or death.

No, it's far more serious than that!

This is so screwed up. They can't separate life from sports.

Interesting that when he lists his attacking options he said Pedro, Willian, Hazard, Costa, Loftus-Cheek. No mention of Batshyaui at all.

Damn, good catch, I didn't even notice that. Interesting indeed.

Yes I noticed that as well  ... I don't think it was intentional ... but unfortunate nevertheless !

You'd hardly deliberately mention Reuben ahead of Bats after all :)

Joey Cole talks Antonio, among other things.

Wow. And only few people talk about this.

I know it's extremely sad......we should have won 3 Champions league trophies not just the one.........but that's life ! 

In the future, the authorities that govern football, need to carry out a lot more checking the referees background including some research as to which team they support or like ! Before they decide which referee they choose for important matches. 

I have a feeling that Overebo was paid to do that. No matter what anyone says. Someone high up in UEFA or a criminal gambling syndicate. Corruption is rife in organisations like UEFA. 

I don't remember a time in many years where I go to a game like today and the atmosphere is so jubilant and the atmosphere so excellent. That has been the same for all the games I've gone to this season (stoke, Bournemouth and today) where even two years ago the atmosphere would feel stilted and I would wonder why I wasn't watching in the pub. I feel this is conte and his positive attitude that creates this.

i hope that even if we don't win the league this year or next we retain his services, he makes the ground a much more enjoyable place.
