Pep always likes to lavish us with praise........then stick 3 or 4 past us.
He's not wrong though

Who remembers when we put Adam Virgo on the right wing and lumped long balls up to him to win the knock downs? It's hard to believe the transformation.

Yeah. It is something the kids got when they were younger. It is a tv cleaner and is something of a house mascot. It annoys the shit out of me.Has Pep styled his hair like Haha

I said on here a few weeks ago that Albion were playing the best football of any team on the planet.
We always used to sing about BrightNanOveAlbion FC being "by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" back in Div 3 days... now it's true.

Wow, with a lazy teenager and 2 full time working parents we have a cleaner in for a few hours each week to knock the edge off the housework, but a dedicated TV cleaner . .you is POSH!

Much of this season my flabber has been agast at just how bad every other team is at our game.
While we ohhh and ah, sharp intake breath shout 'just kick it' our opposition has pretty much all been 3 passes, 2 panics followed by a hoof - back to us.

The All Blacks have been doing this for years. They praise you to the hilt then beat you up!

Aye, we have the third highest average possession stats in the league behind Man City and Arsenal. Which is OK until you see that Chelsea are in fourth place! So it’s not all about possession but what you do with it. We appear to be getting better at scoring and winning matches, which is great bearing in mind we don’t have an out and out world class striker. Nice that Pep has noticed and got a bit of a panic on.
His quote was - There is no guarantee that we will win the game in hand against the best team in the world in Brighton. There is no team better in modern football to bring the ball from the keeper to the last quarter.

This, absolutely. Pep loves to patronisingly pat the little guy on the head before the fixture. After the fixture? If it doesn't go completely his own way? Not so much

Yes. Not so kind then
Still annoys me that Potter apologised after the win at the Amex.

Quite hilariously, Pep spouted much the same nonsense at Potter's Albion ahead of one of our games. The Albion made the mistake of scoring. For probably the first and last time in his dull career, Potter gave it a bit large in Pep's face. Big mistake. Within half an hour of the game's finish, Potter was onscreen, begging forgiveness from Pep for not knowing his proper place 
Imagine how much better we'd be with England's Harry Maguire coordinating it instead of making do with Lesser Lewis.

Pep's spiteful about team's that beat them.
Unless we torpedo their entire season, I think he'll be a little more gracious with RDZ, what with them being good mates.
