Random question. The writing on the flag in your sig, what does it translate to in English?

"Messi is a fraud and will never surpass Maradona"

Fernandinho is going to be the cornerstone of Pep's team. At least until we get Paredes or Aleix Garcia comes through the Academy.

Bielsa's nickname is "the madman".

The sign reads "A man with new ideas is a madman until his ideas triumph"

Don't forget Gundogan

No?

Then don't compare this with what your despicable club is doing to Schweini

aaww are you mad? Touched a nerve have I? only explanation to warrant such a sensitive response.

Such a precious little skirt you are.

Go get some fresh air, sweetheart.

FYI, your piece of sh*t club treated Gotze just as bad.

Aaww are you mad? Touched a nerve have I?

This.

I've seen people commending Pep for incorporating Fernandinho, claiming that he's "in love" with him, building the team around him, etc... Just who do you think drops out of that midfield when Gundogan is fit? It won't be Silva or De Bruyne in this setup...

It is as if they have never watched a Bayern game with Pep.

Mate this is English commentators/pundits I doubt they watch any game outside of England and if they do they keep it to themselves because you know the BPL is were it is at. The best of everything, managers players and teams and also the league is the most exciting because literally anyone can win it. Even us here at GL could start a team and within 10 years we should be prime position to win the worlds bestest league

Because I don't think they have. Bayern has been using it for the past three seasons.

The false fullbacks will work really well in the PL. They cover the space, which teams in the PL utilize the most...

AKA hoof into the channels.

Great start with City.

4 in 4

Invincible 2.0 coming up

And then HE cometh to the prima donna of leagues and HE showeth how to dance on the turf with a ball like the people had never seenth.

What?

Que?

They're currently playing football the like I've never seen*, so lets get Gundogan involved and get this party started.




*Apart from Dortmund making us look stupid in 2012

Only time I've seen a half like that in the epl is us vs Pool in LVGs first season. Pep is a monster.

The pastor gathered his sheep and instructed and traineth them to exhaustion. And it came to pass the the sheep became much better on the turf as they previously were. And so De Sheepne ate all the grass from Ol' Traffer's field and the glorious pastor and his herd startedth the path of enlightenmenth together.

I like it.

Pep has really impressed so far, it seems as long as he can keep the team consistent, they wont that too much trouble in the league.

Early days and many challenges ahead but I want to see those who said Pep is a fraud to come out now and respond Should be interesting. I mean hes innovative enough to use Kolarov as CB for example, thats quite impressive. Hes immediately gotten this Man C teams to perform where the past few years u felt have under achieved.

Tottenham next week will be a good test. So far though City is looking wonderful.

In Tottenham's current form, Spurs will be outclassed imo
