José will probably compliment the referee's performance. "I think he [Dean] had a good game."

I always knew the media would get to him over here. I think maybe that combined with the difficulty of the league are seeing him lose some of his passion for the game. Reminds me of Keegan in someways, can't handle the pressure.

Bets on Pep walking away from City at the end of this season and returning to Barca?

Not sure he'd go back tbh I think if he quits then he'd probably just quit and go home. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he quit by seasons end.

Surprised Liverpool dropped points today

Pleasantly I hope

Oh course, hopefully we make things even better against spurs.

Fingers crossed haha 

Lucky card today... a tough challenge that should've been a yellow. I saw you took a comment from redcafe, but 95% of the other comments said that it was a yellow and nothing more.

The referees this season have been a total catastrophy. Dean, Clattenburg , Mason and so on. We've had one penalty this season... ONE! Today we got decisions in our favor, but if you look back at all the games played this season we still have had more wrong decisions not favoring us than the other way around.

Not surprised Liverpool dropped points. I won a bet on it. They actually should have lost that game if the ref had done his job and not been sympathetic towards Liverpool.

liverpool winning it would be absolutely the worst case scenario, then followed by arsenal then united

For me this is the order, from "couldn't be bothered" to "oh God, no, is 2017 really going to be worse than 2016? Feck me!!!"

City > United > Liverpool > Arse = Sp*rs

Under no circumstances must Arsenal or Spurs win it. If we're going to go on an absolute collapse, I'd rather City win it, despite Pep being a cnut. I actually have no problem with City and their fans. United fans are right knobs but I'm over Jose. Couldn't be bothered if he won one with them. As for Liverpool, I wouldn't be able to stand their fans if they did go on and win it but at least they're not the Arse or Sp*ds.

We are some distance ahead of them.

Looks like Pep is cracking 

i suppose we orcs still haven't yet evolved to appreciate his genius. Way ahead of his time

It's Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal. Throw in West ham there as well.

As for United I've never had anything against them and City are just a complete non entity to even bother with.

He'd definitely go to Juventus. A weak league dominated by one team and a style that suits his own; just how he likes it.

Althougn if he leaves without winning the title his reputation will take a serious battering.

If he has had enough, I would have thought managing Spain would be the next move. 

 

Atleti's new crest is a tad Spartan for me, the gold of the old crest had a real 'pop' to it. Plus the right hand star is centred really creepily. And I've never in my life seen a blue tree.

You get used to them winning sh*t, doesn't have the same impact as other rivals doing well imo.

United haven't lost since we whipped them 4-0 on 23 October. They've drawn 4 and won 7 since then. Not bad.

And yet they're still anchored in the same spot in the table.

@Bobbywoodhogan apparently this is from an interview that he gave to NBC at least 5 days ago maybe longer. So if you take into account that he hadn't even lost the Liverpool game at that point, these comments suggest that his apetite for the game and his drive for success is pretty exhausted. Think we dodged a bullet with Pep.

Two wrongs make it right, thats how it works then, lol

Good point...if he's cracking up at citeh, he would have been chewed up and spat out by now at much tougher chelsea, where the demands are so much higher and the media can't wait to stick the knife in...I still think he's had a pretty easy ride given how sh*t he's been

Well, I never said that. Just pointed out that we've had more things going against us than for us so far... I don't know about other games and the decisions in those, but if it's anything close to what I've seen in our games, then this season must be some sort of record in bad refereeing

Bloody hell, i would be worried if we had a manager that was already talking about retirement. It just gives the impression that his heart isn't really in it and his mind is on other things.

It must be worrying for City, they have been after him since before he got the job at Bayern Munich, and it sounds like he doesn't plan on sticking around for too long.

So if we go on a run like that after winning 13 straight, City won 10?, Conte would/should be sacked?

Listening to the Radio 5 Live podcast and they're playing the Guardiola interview. It doesn't get any better on a re-listen. Very cringey!
