You all are laughable. Really?? Comparing Pep and Arsene ?? This whole nonsense about money spent on players is a joke. Pep weny out there and bought ready made players, said Stevie, really??? You all laughed at him for not buying Koulibali and buying 3rd or 4tu choice Reuben Dias. Dont even start with Kyle Walker every thought City over paid for him until he became really good. Stones??? Ake?? Those were ready made?? Really? Please you all just stop. Every talks about money spent but what about the quality of player the money was spent on?? Does anyone believe Brighton would have sold Mcalister to City for 40 million like they did to Liverpool?? I remember Johnny Evans was priced at 50 million because city was trying to get him to the Etihad. Anyone believes that price could have been set if anyone else was trying to buy Evans??. Now lets take a look at that Arsenal team in 2000 – 2006 you think that team would cost less than the city team cost in today's market?? You all are just so pitifully sad. I remember Sir Alex saying Pep wouldn't have it easy which meant (will not succeed) today people are playing around saying no he only meant it will be competitive. Peter Schmeichel laugh at him during the first season saying he couldn't succeed, and there's no one who didn't know city was rich pre Pep but still thought he'll struggle. Now he rubbished all the thrash talking and everyone is like ahh but the was money spent and when you say but he didn't spend much at Barcelona then they say but he had Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, always leaving out the fact he took over because Real Madrid had won the league 2 years in a row, Barcelona ended the season 4th in the League, the guy sends away the Ronaldinhos of the world and wins everything in Europe in his first season playing the best football we have seen at least in the 2000s. You all stop with the hypocrisy. Klopp and Ancelloti in your eyes are legends but Pep is comparable to Arsene.
Wenger.
I'm not gonna watch this because it should be a 24 hour long video. This is, quite possibly, the dumbest most reactionary group of commentators who have collectively achieved nothing
These people are delusional. When Wenger and Alex Ferguson were managers, other clubs lacked the capital to invest, which contributed to their success. Now, every team has more capital to invest, making the IPL more competitive. Despite City winning four times in a row, their victories were marginal.
3:50 Pep bought finished articles???… like Ake, Dias, Stones, Akanji, Foden, Doku, Bernado Silva, Sane….Nooooo!!… These guys improved their game after joining Pep. Even KDB, David Silva improved under Pep.
Harry Kane will be back stronger next season with Bayern β€
Pep couldn't do what Wenger did in the mid nineties cause he was still playing π
The funny thing is the video is only 13 minutes long, which seems very short given the amount of stuff they get wrong week in, week out.
2:18 Pep also hadnt has the money at start when he was in barca…and what he did there, he made a GOAT Club with the la masia academy, so clearly Pep is soo much clearer than wenger
Why not go back and show the clip wher they say the diffrent things
Why dan so mean to Steven my fav.
Kieran must remember watching an FA Cup final before 2005. He was playing for Arsenal a couple of years later.
Nonsense take from Stevie. Pep's bought finished Articles? Who are the finished Articles?
Rodri? Akanji? Dias? AkΓ©? Sterling? Sane? Jesus? Zinchenko? Bernardo Silva? Alvarez? Pep's made most of those players the finished Articles that they are today.
People forget Barcelona we're in a mess when Pep took over, turned most of the players to Worldclass and won the Treble in his 1st season as a Manager.
pep did all the things when he became manager of barcelona after managing the second team…
Pep changed English football. All those players city produced is because of him only
He's the best ever manager of all time
People forget that pep didn't spend that much when he was in Barcelona. Could he have done it in the 90s. The same argument can be put forth can SAF or Arsene do it in the 2010s.
Given Gibbs is 34, How can his first FA Cup be 2005? He was playing professionally in 2007. Most people remember their first FA cup when they're around 8 to 10.
once again kieran proves arsenal fans are deluded imagine thinking wenger is better than pep for waht he did for football. LOL.
Arsenal somewhat did it 20 years ago Stevie. Completely different world
Anyone who thinks that Kane is a one-season wonder doesn't watch football at all
11:30 Dan is amazing! π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Thereβs no way people comparing wenger vs pep π
If Liverpool had purchased Kane theyβd have won the premier league for the past 4 seasons – right manager with the right team with HK upfront β¦.. and even now Iβd vote to sell Salah and buy HK
That City Tottenham FA Cup replay was the best final I have seen. Been watching since 78. The only other one that compares is the UTD Arsenal one a couple of years earlier. But it only ignited in the last ten mins. The previous 80 weren't the best.
Benzema only scores tap ins from stevie
Wenger is a better manager. Pep is a big budget Manager who suceeds in teems that have already winning players.
These guys are wrong every season when they bet against Real Madrid.twats
Dan; "Stevie, you are taking Arsenal too??"
Stevie; "This is typical Dan thomas"
πππ
Definitely Wenger…He , not only transformed a club, he changed the entire League.
11:30…. OMD!!!!!πππ€£π€£π€£π€£
Basically every single prediction ESPN pundits have made was their worst take
Wenger trash in front of pep.
How about no one thought man united could win the FA cup?
Arteta out lol
Stevie calling Liverpool a "superior team" to Madrid going into the 2022 UCL final was a pretty bad take. Context: Madrid had put more goals past PSG, Chelsea, and City on their way to the final than Liverpool did against Inter, Benfica, and Villarreal.
City have only dominated the league one season every yr they won its come to the last few weeks. Basically exactly what they did before him in the league. His city team has also been investigated a bunch for their spending. Pep is great but since Barca he has always been the biggest spender in every league he goes to.
THIS SHOW IS SO MUCH BE WITH OUT THE GUY WITH THE POTATOE HEAD AND ANNOYING VOICE!!!
omparar a benger con guardiola es un insulto a los que vemos futol y jugemos hay muco envidia
