For all the rabbit or a bird pseudo psychology stuff this guy loves to try instil, I’ve never seen a guy emit such a negative, loser attitude. The guy that won’t let you start a board game till he’s finishing studying the rule book.

At least that bloke that did the daft Arsenal bottle can put Eze as his screensaver too now.

Played on the Joie stadium yesterday and scored a goal. Can’t move today. Thems are the swings and thems are the roundabouts.

Just lobbing some stuff here for posterity. What a couple of days. 💙

Fucking hell, that was so much better than I’d imagined.

It’s starting outside your shop, they said. But don’t worry, they said, you’ll be dead busy and have a great view of it all… Stunning.

Does Maresca fancy a 442?

Gundogan and Ederson confirmed. Who’s got eyes on Masters?

Part of me reckons Pep is stocked his last game is a dead rubber you know, he can actually enjoy it. If it mattered he wouldn’t let himself at all ha.

This Sunday/Monday combo gonna be something else isn’t. Not sure I’ll ever be ready for it. Don’t think there’s ever a time that’s blown this meme so out the water. Think most City fans have known since that first season.

Coming round to the idea that Tuchel is taking a first 11 and then just some competent back ups. So if they don’t come out the blocks flying no one will be screaming to bring a sub on, or pundits spending hours discussing who should actually start the next game like previous tournaments.

If fitness allows a back four of Nico, Guehi, Stones and James I think England will do alright. Fuck it, throw Trafford in net and they win it.

I don’t really know any Arsenal fans and the internet is really the only place i see them, so not a terrible fallout tbh. Do find it strange that anything i have seen of the team though seems to be them doing responses to things like that random bloke with his arsenal bottle and stuff like that.

Love how now tv just made their app incompatible with my 4 year old tv. Four years. How dare I expect that not to be ancient tech incompatible with the thing that worked perfectly fine on it yesterday.

Dream scenario at coop event. Gundo, Kev, Vinny, Dino, Serg, Eddy, Mahrez are all back to see off the big man, Bernie & Stones. David Silva gets brought out to see him off properly. Then special guest Richard Masters appears to announce we’re going down to division 2 to start all over again. Beers.

Do feel bad for Pep, he clearly wanted to just get the season done and then announce it on his terms. Like he says he wasn’t lying, just always has a discussion once it’s over so it’s not a distraction. And then the biggest of press pile on the night before this important game did it for him.

The players thought fuck this, we need to make him think he has to stay. “Look boss, we’re a mess!”.

Soz guys, we already have that record too.

Is he really gonna announce it after the end of the season? 😂 try and skulk off?

Can we just hear from Pep so I can go to bed.

Congratulations to all the Arsenal fans who aren’t weird.

I’ll be honest, I can’t believe Rodri is the one that’s stayed on. He’s fucked 😂 and we’ve no one to replace him later. Maybe Stones?

Such a tough place to come after a game 3 days ago, never mind when Bournemouth haven’t played for 10. They’re very good. Think he went for a midfield to keep control for an hour, but in hindsight it might’ve been better to play one that would pin them back.

One way to deal with Khusanovs pace is to drop back instead I guess.

Have we had any “what about City!”s yet?

Hey look, this is massive for Boro, if history’s taught us anything it’s that teams who were gifted promotion when they hadn’t earned it can be about to win the premier league in 2026.

Obviously Liam’s in denial, but it would be utterly hilarious if Pep had Keyser Soze’d this whole scenario just for one final giggle at the media’s expense before his final season.

The parade starts from basically outside my shop, so the council came and warned me last week that IF city won the fa cup it was happening. If they didn’t it wasn’t. Did that trophy make Peps mind up? Can we give it back? Do Chelsea fancy it?

2022. Well I got my wish anyway. I’m happy. Happy sad.

It’s a bit mad that final entry to the co-op live event is that same as the *start* time for the parade. One or the other basically.

Would’ve preferred the news to come from him instead of the Daily Mail to be fair.

🚨 BLUE MOON PODCAST LIVE 🚨 📆 Tues 26th May 🕗 8pm start (doors: 7.45pm) 📍 Idle Hands, M1 2HF ⭐ Special Guest: Former #MCFC manager, Brian Horton 🏆 Come and celebrate the domestic cup double... (and maybe more? 👀) Ticket profits going to @mcfcfoodbank.bsky.social, with tickets available here:

Genuinely the funniest var mess so far. Being a dead rubber means we can laugh it up, but hopefully a big old nail in the coffin here.

With him clearly being across social media you also have to assume Pep knows journos are terrified of announcing Here We Goes too early/late these days so you gotta say he’s played a blinder on his contract either way. Every interview/question is some vague comedy gold pointing in every direction.

Not a shit corner scrap in sight then either. There’s something lovely in the fact we bought a guy with one of the longest throws in the league and we’ve never let him use it and instead he’s scored the FA Cup winner with a backheel flick. Chefs kiss.

Feel a bit sad for him watching the trophy presentation tbh. After that winner in last round.

And again 💙

As if we’ve done the domestic cup double 😂 we’ve no right to be back at this after last season and this new squad…..but Pep.

This ref doesn’t bode well for any team getting a goal in front tbh, they can wind the game down easy with soft fouls. Ruins the game.

You have to assume that “squeeeeeeze!” press from Chelsea can’t last 70 minutes, never mind 90. Hopefully get Cherki on before the hour at very least to expose the space.

Commentators saying Chelsea have looked more adventurous up front when I think they mean City are more adventurous at the back.

Feels like that’s writing on the wall for Nico Gonzales. Kind of mad. Not entirely sure what he’s done wrong. Only way I see him staying is that he’s actually so desperate to stay Pep knows he’s not one to complain so he’s given him the short straw. That seems more harsh than him leaving though 😂

😂 Mr Miserable says we all hate too much.

Making a carbonara and saving the egg whites to make cocktails like I’m Ray Mears or something.

Too good.

Just the slight head loss over this fa youth cup final is it.

Absolutely lovely couple of interviews with Bernardo. What a guy. Plays and speaks football like my dream player. Losing a proper legend. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - we’ve had it so good. All these legends, all doing 8, 9, 10 years in the same era. It’s not normal.

If Pep is going, surely we’ve only a few days before we find out. After the FA Cup final there’d be no added pressure for players etc, and he’d have to announce before last game to have a send off.
