Could be our Pep Guardiola

Could be our Pep Guardiola

When Guardiola shows he can mount a title challenge with a team that is not the best in the country by some distance, then I might consider calling him their Brendan Rodgers.

I'm sure you're taking the piss but Barcelona weren't "the best side in the country by some distance" when he took over. Barca had managed a paltry 67 points the previous season, finishing 3rd and a mile behind Real Madrid. Pep took over and they won the treble.

That is so bad it's nearly good.

I often cringe at some of the nicknames that grown men use for other football teams.

Some of our fans are no better.

There's more, I just can't remember them at the moment.

I couldn't agree more! Sound like playground kids!

It was a tongue in cheek comment, but now that you have responded to it I shall dig my heels in and argue against whatever you say

Give any team Messi and you're half way there in fairness! He can only manage his teams so, in truth, he did brilliantly at both Barca and now Bayern. I'd like to see him do it with Leicester.

Well, you wonder how many managers would have the foresight to move Messi into a central position. He was an out and out right winger when Pep took over. Never ceases to amazes me how blasé some are about Guardiola.

I wondered why it took so long at the time too.

The fact is all managers are **** unless they take a non-league club into Europe.

Of course you did!

He was a red hot right winger and it took Guardiola's appointment for him to become the player he is today.

Not only that but at different times he took on Eto'o, Henry and Ibrahimovic and won.
Binned Ibra 1 year after buying him.

Promoted **** loads of players from Barca B. The man has serious stones on him.

Of course you did!

He was a red hot right winger who didn't score many goals and it took Guardiola's appointment for him to become the player he is today.

Well, what he gained with Messi he lost with Eidur Gudjonsen. You can't deny that.

Serious stones. He also flogged Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o and other superstars.

Now he's strutted into Bayern - treble winners last season, how do you improve on that? - and appears to have gone and made them better already. He's immense.

We should be very thankful he rejected Chelsea.
