7 trophies in 3 years that was a good signing

[@yashvisrikumar8016]

Lass Lass5555 more importantly citi fans would hope for the 9 th and the most important one in may at Istanbul

[@yashvisrikumar8016]

Lass Lass5555 Real Madrid have an equally poor defense if we take carvajal out

[@ozgecko4050]

Now advance 4 years 😂😂

[@broski8965]

Safe to say Gab is always right and should move to Sky Sports or even motd and leave these lot to plummet to the bottom

[@nicksparta9580]

Hear hear

I totally agree.
The rest can be quite funny but that's how far they can go most times

[@tajaeshepherd7528]

looking at it...he made the best decision by not taking that sinking ship in manchester united...cuz boooyyy that ship is lost in the abyss

[@eliassamende6333]

Mr. Paul with all due respect why would pep go to Man united?

[@sorunke2002]

Craig is talking nonsense here. he should take a job at a local tv station instead of ESPN just to show he's a top pundit

[@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings]

Craig Burley was hella biased here for Man Utd n got Exposed.
Gab right on 2 Titles in 3yrs.
Ian right on unmatched Exquisite Football

[@XhoowieX]

In what way was he exposed? He said it was the easy option, he certainly didn't say he wouldn't win league titles. And it was the easiest option, clearly. He went to a team that won the league not long before and added hundreds of millions of pounds of players to it. And clearly the United ship was sinking as he said, and it's still sinking now.
And on the Champions League comments, even Burley probably expected Guardiola to have done better than he has done in that. In fact, Pellegrini went further than Guardiola in the Champions League even after this video was made.
So what was exposed? To be honest, I regret even wasting time typing this because it just hit me that you called him biased in favour of the team he referred to as a sinking ship.

[@seanmullin1692]

XhoowieX he said pep is a myth. That’s just not true at atall and time has shown that

[@ozgecko4050]

Klopp was still at Dortmund, winning the Bundesliga was still tough then, what is Craig on about?

Exactly

The day United fans wished we signed him but got José instead...

[@mattholt2451]

Robel Tadesse i mean with the Glazers in charge I doubt we would multiple prems like city have

[@kaizenryan3390]

Jose would have done more if the board backed him
Him getting into top 2 with that defense and winning three trophies is already a milestone

Why does it matter ?

[@bradrunner7329]

Is De Mateo a GOAT since he won Chelsea Champions League? Clearly no, so a BS argument.

[@rohithraman6488]

Pep has accomplished far more than Di matteo though. He's better tactician

[@marvinbrando722]

Hahahahahahahaha, he has made that regular league in nothing for him

[@leroybanging2687]

So if arteta wins the champions league and league at arsenal. Does that make him the goat then?

[@harrismazari5484]

Obviously no. Arteta played for arsenal and if you listen to Hurley you can't be great if you cherry pick the club you played for (kind of what he is saying not exactly)
