It's a parody account.

I have my doubts. Bayern reached that semi final with an exceptional first team, they were schooled the minute a couple of decent players were missing, exactly as we've found each time we beat them.

They weren't schooled at all. They were well in this tie until a lapse from Bernat and a sweet strike from Messi followed by a piece of magic done them.

Last night's result was never in doubt from the minute Bayern's team sheet was announced.
Of course, had this been City last night, we would have been a national embarrassment.

Just threaded it.
I wonder if the Count is actually part of City's backroom staff as well as manager & would be assigned another role. He was talking about stuff happening in 5 years . Doubt he expects to be manager then, even if he wins the title next year.

If that is the case then I would be happier about this. I'd hate to think this (if true) has been dealt with in the same manner as Mark Hughes' dismissal or Mancini's

i don't believe that Pep would do better with us than the Count has done.
the fine line between allegedly top shelf managers is basically down to who's available and how they set it up.
i don't want Pep. i'd rather another year of the Count and then Paddy.
cheers

His signings in the first summer transformed us into champions. They helped change us from one dimensional bore merchants to the most exciting team in the League. Last summer he was hamstrung with restrictions. We thought we'd bought in the right areas but in hindsight the attack needed freshening up a little.
Let's not rewrite history or play down how The Count's team has thrilled us.
