Everyone still confident there's not something going on off the field? They seem absolutely rocked to me.

It would be a courtesy if City reacted and clawed a couple of points off Liverpool.

can't fly that high without getting burnt. the universe is exacting its price.

Here’s the video. It’s weird. Get this cat a shrink

Tearing yourself up like that is fuckin weird, no two ways about it. I mean, look at the state of his head! I mean, sure, he didn't mean to draw blood, but it's still not healthy behavior. The guy needs to chill the fuck out, it's only football. That people are calling his "joke" insensitive is also weird, because it suggests his behavior is somehow normal or unconcerning. Skeeves me out.

    Was the head picture real? I assumed it was AI generated scratches. In reality he just had that nick on his nose, right?

      Coombs he wins like a sadist. Of course there's something wrong with him.

        flobaba I was told they were real, but I don't really know

          It'd be good for Guardiola longer term to experience a period of failure and difficulty. I pray he has that good fortune.

            daredevil I'm with you. I have a lot of respect for the impact that Pep has had on the game. He's given us a long sustained era of football built on his principles, with other managers employing his approaches (if not his budget). He's also developed a lot of managers - much more than either Wenger or Red Nose did in the process.

            Manchester City sometimes put me to sleep. But that's just a style preference. I can appreciate that they are superb while not as swashbuckling as the football I am drawn to. Pep's influence and impact though is hard to ignore.
