Hence Guardiolas shitty comment.
His remit is to win the champions league at least once. If he cant do that hes failed. There may be more competition in the premier league than at Bayern. But the man has spent the best part of 500m on a squad when he already had by alot of expert opionion the best squad in the league anyway.
City playing well is hardly a surprise. Lets see how they do against Real, PSG and Barca over his tenure. Thats what he will be judged on.

Good post mate and fair points.
Under Rijkaard for five years, Barcelona were amazing for the first three and pretty rubbish for the last two. I doubt they’d have sacked him if everything had been going wonderfully well. So your point that they were nothing special before Pep arrived sort of stands up, just not to long term scrutiny.
Doesn’t make Pep any less of a fraud or an asshole though.
I used to quite like pep but can't stand him now, thought he had more class than to show such arrogance towards a team that has finished above them for the last two seasons and played them off the park in three out of the four games.
Jokes on him then, he tried to sign our entire defensive line this past summer.
I hate this clown
There's the team talk right there
Bloke is a classless wanker and he's worried about us.
Perhaps if he'd have watched the game he'd have noticed that if Harry wasn't playing we'd have missed his 2 goals, but probably benefitted from someone slightly less selfish providing at least 2 assists.
Classless separatist slaphead

At Chelsea was their best result, better than anything United or any of the top 6 have put up this season in the league, including Spurs. I do think that game ends in a draw if Morata doesn't go out, but City dominated. Like I said, with the money at their disposal, anything less than a title in the league and Pep should be gone. Given their CL group, quarterfinals is an absolute minimum in Europe, and even that is probably a disappointment.
However, and I may be grasping at straws, I think that City could falter like they did last season. It's going to get heavy and thick schedule wise after this break, with 20-21 games between Oct 14 and Jan 1. That's pretty much a 2 matches a week pace. Granted, everyone in Europe and the league cup has a similar schedule, but the Premier League is deeper than Germany/Spain, so I think they may drop points purely due to rotation requirements.
Again, their weak CL group helps them, and I'm pretty sure Pep doesn't give two shits about the League Cup, but where as Spurs tend to really rake in the points during the hectic December schedule, I think the rest of the top 6 taper off.
At the beginning of the year I picked 1 City, 2 Spurs, 3 United, 4 Chelsea, 5 Woolwich, 6 Everton (lol Everton is garbage), 7 Liverpool (Coutinho stayed
), but if Spurs can gain their Wembley legs we will make a race out of this.

It's a complete nonsense comment, like many other teams we play with 1 striker, it's pretty much the norm. That's Kane's job, to score goals. How is that being reliant on 1 player. The bloke's an utter cunt bag, I can't wait for the city game now, it's going to be another 'battle of the bridge'.
Used to not mind Pep, but what a cunt. Hope we batter them again even more now. Perhaps he remembers last year when we beat them 2-0 last season at our place with Harry Kane not playing? Any excuse not to give us credit, when we had Bale sure, we were a bit of a one man team but not any more, not even close.
