Pep Guardiola: “I admire Liverpool. Whatever happens this season, I admire Liverpool. When I said Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool always has been, it’s that, it’s the team that faced us, the real, real contender that faced us face to face, goes against you, six/seven years”.

1. I admire Liverpool too. Winning trophies without cheating is admirable

2. I think this guy has cemented himself as the greatest manager in the history of football. Sir Alex is a clear second for me. Then the debate starts at the 3rd position.

   Does Jurgen Klopp deserve to be in the discussion for 3rd? i honestly dont know. I think mourinho would have a strong claim here. Wenger? (personally gosh no, but yeah sure i think he deserves to be here as well, because of his longevity….of mediocrity haha jkjk), carlo ancelotti? capello? simeone?

   frankly now it’s so hard for young managers to reach the status of Sir Alex, because 1 season of mediocrity will get you fired, which is testament to pep and jurgen’s greatness that they manage to stay at the top for this long.

   (let’s just say since the beginning of prem era, 1992 onwards. not sure how to rate guys like cruyff, bill shankly, rinus michels, beckenbauer, etc)

3. No doubt that he is a good manager, but he also plays a style of fotball that caters into that sack of money.

   Not sure he would be at this lvl if he had a mid lvl budget. But i guess we will never know 🙂

4. Feels insincere when he compliments Liverpool.

   “Thanks for being just good enough that our complete domination of the league doesn’t look like it was easy as piss”

   He just likes to cloud the fact we have become a one-team league thanks to 115 charges.

5. The Liverpool vs Manchester City rivalry has been the best rivalry in Premier League history, and to have been going toe-to-toe for almost a decade is quite an achievement. It will be remembered as one of the best football rivalries in the future.

6. Eat arse.

7. I understand English isn’t his native language, but how does he speak in his native tongue?

8. Patronising twat.

9. So you should. He did it without the backing of an oil state in the Middle East and systematically breaking FFP for a decade.
