 What do you think you're like? One-two, one-two, one-two? I wouldn't get like more impersonation though. Yeah, sorry, see. Everyone who's streaming out of that because it's the same thing in it. Yeah, yeah. That's why we built this, to have more space. Still watch the games here, still read the chat and just do shit like this. So it's good. We're just gonna... I'm gonna get one of my Premier Trophies, you'll find my names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got them all now. I've got the big Champions League one. I've got the big Premier League one. And then I've got all the little ones. There's a guy on eBay, World Cup Trophies or something. He sells the little ones, but the proper metal. Oh, are they? That's sick. The sickest fuck. I've got the World Club Cup. I've got the Super Cup. I've got everything. That's mint. And then I've got a League Cup, which all the players were giving a box on them. Anyone a League Cup under Pella Green here? We're giving a box with a metal League Cup. And one of the players must have given it away and it ended up on eBay and I ended up getting it. That's sick. I can hear you in the... Oh, Mike's on. Yeah, she has people. I didn't realise that Mike was on at all then. I hope we didn't say anything incriminating. I know we didn't cancel ourselves. Yeah, she has people working to the big steam show. It's in person. We're here in person. Ollie was going to host this and we're going to have a multi-cam setup kind of thing like we've teased in the watchtowers and stuff, but not today. We'll do that in one going forward. He says that was a great show. The beginning bit is always the best bit. So yeah, it's Derby Day this weekend. Nerves for me are flying high. How are you doing today? I'm well, yeah. I'm good. I'm good. Just had the turkey shave. I've got a little bit of stubble. There's a few people out there like the beard, so I've left it growing. I don't know how long it's going to last, but it is what it is. I'm sharp and ready for the Derby on Sunday. Yeah, you've trimmed up, aren't you? No, this is an eggshell blonde. Eggshell blonde and a bit of stubble. Got a stubble going. My weekend will all fall out though. It will for me. Do you get nervous with Derby Day? I've never asked for this. Listen, when I was younger there was nobody worse than me. I'd be like, for the full week I'd get him worked up about it. I'd think about every single scenario. I'd think about what's winning. I'd think about what's losing. I'd think about who was going to give me shit. Who wasn't going to give me shit. The morning of the game I'd have about four toilet breaks. I'd be on the beers, early doors in the house. Yeah, it was bad then. But obviously as you get a little bit older and a bit mesurer and a bit better, the team gets better, you sort of relax. Listen, I don't peak too early now. I can cruise through the week. I've got things going on, but Sunday morning, Saturday night, I'd probably watch an old Derby or two and get myself put. Get ready for it. Ben Jarny and I was 6'1". I'd get in my own little rhythm and then I'd wake up Sunday morning and it would be breakfast and then my son's coming with me on Sunday. My other son and it's his first Derby so easy. Oh, is it? Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I've kept the lid on him for a while. I didn't want to introduce him to him. Not too early. If you get beat, he's never coming again, but no, he's done. He's done, he's finished. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Sunday morning, nobody more nervous than me. Yeah, I typically hate Derby days. I love winning, obviously. Everyone was winning Derby days. It's more just growing up. They always used to beat us in that. We'd get the one-offs. So then it was like going into school and getting roasted off your mates. I hadn't even the main road. We used to get hammered off them all the time and we'd tune a lot once. And I thought, fuck it now. I thought, we're going to win it. I'm going to win school on Monday. I'm going to do this. I'm going to say this. I'm going to do that. Got beat 3-2. And another one, we were winning 3-1. I thought, that's it. Buzzing. 10 minutes to go. Brian McClare, bang, bang, 2-3-0. And I just said to my dad, it's never going to beat him, are we? Never going to beat him. And my dad was like, you will. Don't worry one day. We'll do them and all that. And obviously now it's a regular occurrence. Yeah, now it's most of the time, isn't it? Big up Matt O'Donnell with the 13 months. Yes, yes, mate. Easy people. One of the great intros of our generation. Looking forward to the show. United in a spliff this weekend. Yes, yes, mate. Big up for the member chat. 13 months is over a year now, mate. Big up. And I also seen Benno. Yes, yes. Is it Benno or Bevo? It's Bevo. Yes, yes, Bevo, mate. Yes, lads. Smoke that tonight. Pack this weekend. Big Steve, what a guy. Yo, JP. Lucky guy sitting by the big man. Closest I've got is meeting his auntie. Leave my auntie alone, mate. Yeah, you stay away from that. I mean, especially with this chat. Yes, yes, Bevo, mate. Appreciate your super chat, bro. Do you feel like looting will have a big effect on the weekend or what? Because a lot of people are saying it's just looting. You can't really judge that performance. Some people that might for the Mancunian way, say the form goes out of the window on a dive a day. So not to look into it. You can't win with certain city fans because, you know, up until looting, we were getting criticized for not creating chances, not scoring goals and just scraping through games. We go to looting, which is a tough place to go, by the way. And on a Tuesday night, it's got banana skin written all over it. And we're going in for six and people are still moaning. I just think the positives from the looting was early in Harlan, five goals, outstanding. Kevin de Bruyne link up. You could see that was ticking. And we managed to rest. Rod tree folding, et cetera. So for me, looting was a big positive. And I think the lads going into training this week would have been so full of confidence and buzzing that they've done that. I think we're going into this Derby Sunday. Apart from the Grealish injury, I think we're going in there full steam ahead. Yeah, it's good. Like as much as people say, I agree, I think looting is a difficult place to go to as well. So I kind of hyped it up a little bit more than what people are doing. So I think it was a really good performance. The movement was really good. Harlan throwing in his little doubles of K there in the league. One all. And apparently, oh, it's a tough place, but City going in for six. And apparently it's easy. Yeah, then it's an easy team. Can't judge it. You can't win. I think Grealish will be a mess. Like I really want to agree to be back for this game. It's unfortunate that he got that. I'm getting the feeling now that there's a lot of Manchester City fans that are starting to eat a bit of humble pie, especially like we get the Grealish doku debate all the time. They're totally different players. But what you get with Jack Grealish is the control. Whereas the if you look at Copenhagen away, we start the game. They aren't such the ball for 10 minutes. The ball's fluid. It's going from left to right. And it all looks nice. Jack goes off injured. Jeremy comes on. Jeremy is very dynamic and direct. We know that and exciting. But sometimes he's holding the ball too long on the left. I think what Pep's got to try and do with Jeremy is get him into this system where it's not all about Jeremy. It's not you get the ball. You've got to beat the man, innit? Raheem Sterling was a bit the same. But Pep changed him into a 20 goal a season winger. But we jacked the other night. Again, he come on. We looked controlled. It looked fluid and that. And it's just, I feel sorry for him. He's had a bad few months. His house got burgled and that can't have been easy. And then he got this groin injury. And then he thought he was over it. And he's got it again. And England coming up on that. So he's probably having a bit of a tough time at the minute. Yeah. I feel for him, definitely. When he went off against Copeneg, because I thought the Copeneg game was way back in. I think he'd been on the bench for the previous six games before that or something like that. So I think people are getting concerned about it. There's rumours about obviously the dress training stuff. And at Copeneg, I was like, right. The scene playing for that first 20 minutes really well. I was like, buzzing. This is his statement to get back into the side now. Because Jack Greenish is in our strongest 11. 100%. He's 100%. That left wing is his spot. He's in our strongest 11 without a doubt. So I wanted him back in. He obviously came back in against Luton again. Looked really good. The turnaround from the Copenegan injury to this, I thought was a lot quicker than I thought it'd be. Yeah. When you got injured at Copeneg, I think me and Hugh were saying, be back for Liverpool. Then he was back for Luton. I was like, oh, this is a lot quicker. But obviously he's re-upped it now and he's not available this weekend. Who do you think will play left wing then? I think it'll be Docky. I think he'll play Docky. Yeah, I do. I think he will. I just think he'll have a go at Dalot with him. I just, I mean, Nunes played there. It didn't do too bad. But I just feel that we need, they need to have someone to think about. And I think Dalot, Nunes, I don't think he'll be concerned with Nunes, but with Docky, we've seen it before Jeremy can go at him. I think he's going to start with Docky and probably Bernardo on the right, Folden, De Bruyne, and Rodry in the middle. And then the back four is intriguing, isn't it? Because do you play an Aki, as a Kanji stones at right back? Do you drop Kyle? Or are you not going to play on the counterattack with Rashford and Garnaccio? And do you start Kyle in case? In case they're getting behind? In case they're getting behind, so you don't know. I feel if we play a Kanji, or if we play stones at right back and he gets carried away into midfield, if City are sloppy, that's their break. I feel we Kyle there and just tell Kyle to not go marauding too far until we settle in the game. I think City's got to be patient with me. I don't think the crowd needs to worry. I think we can go 20, 30 minutes to chase us and then the gaps will appear then. Take them off the game. Don't go and force early doors. Let them nick one and then they've got something to sit in with. They can full sit back then and we've got a break. I think we've just got to keep them chasing. Keep them chasing. I don't think they're good enough to stay in the shape and defend well at the Etihad. I think it won't be long before we get through. Yeah, I agree with that. I think a bit of patience is needed on the weekend. As much as it'd be nice to get a fast start, I mean a gundo 30 seconds kind of thing would be nice, but it's not going to happen. I think just control the game, control the tempo of the game. Do what City do best. I said this last night, the games where we look the worst is where we don't have control. Like the Chelsea games, the Tottenham game, that period where we were drawing all the time. They're the games where City look the worst, where we're not dictating the play. We're kind of playing at the other team's tempo and I don't see us doing that against the United. I think they're going to sit in with Casamiro and Amrabat in the midfield, probably Mainu. I think Bruno will go on the right, Canacho on the left, Rashford in the middle. But I think they'll be told basically Amrabat and Casamiro will be told to get in our face. I think Kevin De Bruyne recently, if you watch Kev, it looks like there's a tackle coming. He pops a ball off quick. He doesn't want to get involved in physicality. Yeah, he doesn't want anything. Like I'm thinking, right, put it on Kev. Yeah. I will go mad if that happens, but that's what I'm saying as a rival. But at the end of the day, we're better than them. Rodry's more physical in there. He'll absolutely run that midfield, I think. Yeah, do you think Kev will start? Yes. I've seen a lot of rumours on Twitter saying, obviously played the whole looting game. Kev won't play the weekend. He'll bring him on as a sub. But I think that's a stupid move to make, especially when you look at Kevin De Bruyne and Harlan's link up against Luton. That's the start of something brewing that. Obviously, we know that they've played together before, but it seems like it's clicked now. That looting game, I think that's going to go on like leaps and bounds from that. Someone's saying, Amrabat will go left-back. I don't think he will. I think they'll play Lindelof at left-back. But Arrow Silver will torture Amrabat at left-back. Yeah. That would be a self-destruct back, I think. No, I come out of looting and some of the guys were saying, Kev played full 90 minutes, but I get the feeling Kev has to play the night. I think he's turned around and said, look, because don't forget, he didn't play a few games a few weeks back. So I think he's just thinking, let me get this 90 under my belt. I feel ready for the derby. Yeah, it should be all right. Yeah, man. Big appell B, mate. With the two-pound suit, which actually says, Grealish won't be available for Liverpool. I know that he's not available this weekend. Obviously, we don't know the timelines on it. It's probably, yeah, it's looking like he's going to be able for the international break in the back, I think. Yeah. It's unfortunate, because I really wanted him in for that Anfield game. But obviously, we can't always have it our way. I think we're fortunate in the sense that we've got most of, well, all the squad available, Bar, Grealish went for a period of like quite a few players being out. But yeah, it's unfortunate he's not in. Simon Clarke, yeah, he's just with a 14 months. Big Steven Jody, big love to our Jack, because he'll be back. Yeah, man, I think Jack will be back, and he'll smash it when he gets back. It's just unfortunate. We're getting into the business end of the season. Pep's finding his strongest city side. We're getting into clutch games as well. Newcastle, I mean, these knockout kind of games. And this month, I think, is a defining period in our season. 100%. If we get through these games, it's game on. But, you know, you look at the way we've been playing up to Luton, and it hasn't been as confident as we have been over the seasons gone past. So people were like, you know what, it's going to be tough, but we rise to the occasion in the bigger games, you know what I mean. And like Pep's come out today in his press conference and said, somebody mentioned the games, and he said, I love it, I'd rather this. Because these are the big games every three days and every week, and this is where the team, the five on it last season, the momentum that they got and the fans got the same momentum. We have the same momentum in the stadium and that. And this is where we've got to kick on now. If we can beat United and go to Anfield next week, I'm convinced we win at Anfield. I've said it all season. This is the season we win at Anfield. And I'm convinced of it. We go there and we win at Anfield. I think we have to win at Anfield. I think them to win that, I think, gives them such an edge on us, and they've got an easy running as well. We've still got to play spurs after that. It's not easy for us, but I just feel, when the chips were down that season with Vincent Kumpiner, and we had to win 14 games on the trot, not draw, win, and we won them all. That's when City's at the best. Yeah, I think there's no question of, like, getting the players up for it. And that made me ill, by the way. I swear to God, I've never been as ill. I got to Brighton for the last game. Was that one when they scored first? Yeah, I was physically exhausted. I had all my lips were chapped because I was drained. I had about a week where I didn't even speak to anyone. And I got to the game and I was like, even my dad, he said to me, he went, football club's killing you, man. He went, you're too invested in it. He said, but it's my life, you know what I mean? You're getting up in the morning to City. The Milllands City. We've got a shop, City. I go everywhere now, everyone knows me's for City. I've just been in the barbers for an hour. City, you know what I mean? The people that come in, City. So it's like... You can't stop talking about City. You can't avoid it. You can't avoid it unless you go to... I went to Dubai and I'm in the water park and some guy just comes out of nowhere and goes, I'm big Steve, what do you think about it? And I'm like, what's City? You tried to get away. I tried to get away in holiday. I tried to get away in holiday. Yeah, it's going to be tough, but you know what? I always say in the season, I like them games that give you a feeling in your chest. Yeah. And Sunday gives me that feeling. Anfield next week, walking up to the ground thinking, we could do it here at Anfield. That gives me that feeling. That's another one, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. That's that feeling, you know what I mean? And that's what you want in football, man. Yeah, it's a... It's a weird one. Like, having this conversation now is like, you saying that and all this now deciding about Derby is getting me like, I've already got the nerves now. Like, it's Friday. I've got till Sunday, I'm going to miss. I remember, do you know what though? The difference, right? I bet people in the chat, I bet you've been in work this week. I bet you've been talking to your family this week. I can guarantee you, yeah, that all your mates, United mates and all your family have been saying, you'll beat us at weekend. You'll amour us at weekend. We're shit. You'll amour us at weekend. Yeah. Tell them to do one. Listen, we had the chest out years ago going to Old Trafford with Ben Gianni and that. We would never say to them they're going to beat us. Never. We always turn up in a Derby. Man City, whether the shit or not, whether we get beat 5-0 or not, we always turn up in a Derby. And there's one thing for certain as well. No Manchester City away end that Old Trafford ever empties. 5-0 down at Old Trafford, that away end was there. Full. If you know anyone who's got a taxi firm in Manchester and wants to earn a few quid about 40 minutes into the game Sunday, park all your taxes outside on Ashton New Road, and then you've got to get to Mary D's, yeah? Because when the fourth goes in and all our way end empties, you'll make a killing with all in red to get him back to Stratford from there. So that's my tip of the weekend. Yeah. It is mad. It is mad. The atmosphere is a bit bigger than we can hopefully. I've seen Ollie there asking, what do you think we'll win this season? Which is always a big question. Anything. Listen, anything will do. We've just got to keep winning trophies, you know? The question I get asked the most is, would you win the Premier League four in a row, or would you win Champions League two in a row? Now, A, for anyone who even asked me that, is fantastic because that proves that we're fucking fantastic. To have that conversation is mad. Yeah. And I said this, the four in a row is brilliant. It's never been done. But there's only so many, there'll only be so many weeks you can dine out on four in a row before no one gives a shit. But if you win two Champions Leagues back to back, that is big. That text was one behind then. Yeah. That is big. So for me, I'm taking the big dog trophy. Ooh. I'm taking it. I want two Champions Leagues. That is what I want. You know what I mean? More Premier Leagues is coming, trust me. But that Champions League, two in a row, back to back. I'm having that. See, that's a controversial one now. A lot of people, because loads of people have different opinions on it. Chad, let us know what's your opinion. Four people. Last season, do you remember the question last season? Would you rather win the FA Cup and lose the Champions League? Oh yeah. And everyone said the FA Cup and I broke it down and said are you mad? I went, if we win the FA Cup, nobody gives a shit against United. Nobody cares. We beat United at Wembley. It lasted two days. Then we were on to Istanbul when we won the treble. So the Champions League, whether they like it or not, was bigger than beating Man United. That mentality of beating Man United in the FA Cup, get that out of your head because they're not that Man United anymore. It doesn't mean not like that. People just wanted that. Oh, we can't lose to United in the FA Cup. I'd rather have the FA Cup. You were at the Champions League. I'd rather have lost to United in the FA Cup and won the Champions League. Yeah, same. Same. I agree. I'm the opposite of you. I'm on four people. A lot of the chatter on four people. I'm on four people mode. I mean, we could win both, which is mad again to have that. To be able to say that, we could win both. But if Man United won a four people, or they won another Champions League, I'd be more asked, they won another Champions League to four, than they won four Premier Leagues on the truck. Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Liverpool, they won another Champions League seven. Chelsea, they won another Champions League, it's free. They won another Premier League, no one's asked. Yeah, it's just another one. I just think that. Champions League, let's get in there. It'd be good to be able to say that with one more Champions League. That would be like, that would be insane. Yeah. Listen, let's take it all. Let's win another treble. Why not? Yeah. I mean, a lot of people don't want to talk about it, but the fact is, we are in all, we are in the competitions to win the treble again. Obviously, Newcastle's going to be difficult in the next couple of weeks. We've got Copenhagen still. I think we've done the business really. I do think we'll be there. Yeah, especially the Etihad form. Yeah. But yeah, man, it's the treble conversations always a funny one to have. Said knocking about in the chat. Yeah, Said is in the chat. He said, no party, said Said. Big words from you, Said mate. You're looting. He jumped in the watch. I'm going to say, please stop scoring. Yeah. Well, he's painful. I was at the Etihad with him yesterday. He was really excited. He wanted to know if the trophies was in the shop so he could get his picture tucked with him and that. I said, no, they're not in there. He wanted to film around the other side of the ground where there was nothing. But I made him come around the front where it says best team in the land and all the world. Special is on. He's out today at four o'clock. It's good. It's good. Yeah. So this stream, by the way, we'll redirect talk to Matthew over to the mount talk special with Said and big Steve. So go hit a like on that. It's out at 4 p.m. Today. It's exciting. And yeah, big upside mate. Oh, oh, be good. It says better with the four night nights. I hope we absolutely smash them. I'll say four one with chest. Luke on the United podcast was funny. I was surprised. Dan yesterday. Luke Luke knows what he's doing on there. He knows how to rile them up. I spoke to him the day before and he knows what he was doing. Man, we had some lined up for them reds on there, but we didn't execute it this time. But he rattled them anyway. He's too cool. It's free against one. He's too cool. And he did well on there. And at the end of the day, he represented us really well. I thought Yeah. He's a quality. I've seen that. 2008 United versus treble city team. We beat them twice in 2000. Yeah. We did. That's what they're saying that they said to Luke. 2000 2008 United team or Man City's treble team and Luke said, well, let's just go 2008 city team. We got beat eight one off Middlesbrough. But we beat you twice. That's fell off. Yeah. Because what can they say to that? If you sit it up on with a gold badge in the middle, just like gleaming in the lights. Yeah. Love that. Love to see that. Well, in Luke, book memories, his channel has been hacked again. Yeah. His channel has been hacked again unfortunately. I'm not sure. I think his last time he knew exactly what happened this time. He has no idea how it's happened. Luke actually runs my TikTok and that for me. So I hope my TikTok hasn't been hacked. Yeah. He's just sweating on that. Yeah. So that's a Sunday then. The back four, as you said before, I think that's one of the big talking points. Like you say, we've a way to have a four centre-back mode, okay, Walker plays. I'm of the opinion that he's going to play Walker because I think Tenag will set up to counter us and do the over the top ball. That's how everyone's getting chances. Does he play the Real Madrid set up at home and they don't literally don't fucking touch the ball and we just kill them? Don't worry about them. They might get through Vinicius Junior and all that might get through them game, but I just think, I just think, yeah, like you say they're not going to touch the ball for a while. I just think we're too good. I think we're too good. I think it's funny because I get nervous for the game, but I'm so confident that we're going to win. I'm so confident of a good performance from City, but I still get nervous for it. I think it's just the obviously that's football and it's just united, we've seen it before and we've expected to win and they've come and beat us and stuff and then you've got Rashford who's been sulking for weeks, playing like Pele. You know, that happens a lot and listen, if you can't be confident with this Manchester City team now, then you never will be. True. City fans have got to go out there with a chest. I did a just a little stream on my channel which is out tonight and I just said to the fans, let's get there, have a few beers, get in the ground 10 minutes before kickoff, get in your seat and let's just from the minute go like we did the guys buying Munich. Let's get behind the lads. Then Pep's got no excuse to be saying anything about the crowd. We've got to leave it all in there. You know what I mean? It's Derby Day. Mancunium Pride. It's about Blue v. Red. It's about us giving it them. So everyone getting a stadium for me, 10 minutes getting your seat and let's give it a man. That's because United's away support is good and it's very good and it will be loud and they will be giving it. So we need to be on it, man, in that south stand and that corner we need to be on it. Yeah, straight back out of a minute. Without Grealish the Real Madrid thing will be difficult. I know that Grealish without Grealish it does pose the idea of it poses the lack of control which we've seen by example recently. Do you think in our stream yesterday people were saying Mateusz Nunes or Oscar Bob for it? It depends because if you I've seen Bob come on and I've seen him control the game a little bit where he's got the ball and instead of trying to beat the man he's laid it back into midfield a little bit like what Grealish does. I just worry about Nunes sticking to the task. I've seen Pep having to go at him again he's looting for flicking his foot out and trying to do daft flicks and then Jeremy I love Jeremy Doku so much but I just think he's so raw and I think sometimes he holds the ball too long and at the minute you know we don't know what he's going to do Jeremy he'll do that little step over, he'll pretend to flick it that way he gets to the byline and he stops and brings it back and he'll do it again but by the time you know that passage of play's gone on Jack Grealish would have recycled that three or four times it had gone back to Bernardo looking for the action you know what I mean so sometimes with me I like Jeremy coming off the bench when people are fucked and saying you just go and have a fucking mad one for 20 minutes now do what you want but as a game starts we control Oscar Bob might get a shout it's a shout and as in training might be Pep might see him as a Jack injured that side we just don't know but I do believe that Pep likes Nunes I've been told of people that work at the club that in training he is dynamite really dynamite I've been told that he said honestly he's dynamite Pep spends a lot of time talking to him and that so I think he sees something in him if he's doing that he clearly sees a bit of potential sporting he's playing the sixth role there quite a bit so yeah that's interesting that because earlier say a few months ago people were having the debate of whether Nunes there's any point you can come in I think so if you just get impatient with these players listen Pep Guardiola he doesn't always work so sometimes like with Calvin Phillips he didn't always work Pep realised I think that he wasn't the guy he wanted him to be and I think with Nunes he can see something in him and I think if Pep can see something in you then you've got a chance I mean Pep sees something in Fabian Delph to make him a left back Pep sees something in Zincenco to move him from a ten to a left back we've seen Rico Lewis play in this inverted role and then we've seen him go into midfield play an attack in midfield look at John Stones he's seen John Stones and he's made him look at a kanji man £14 million it's got to be one of the best signings you've ever seen incredible that's like but everyone was like Manuel Akanji Nathan Ake £40 million it's just going to be on the bench look at him so I think I think Nunes next season you might you might see a different player yeah I agree well it takes it takes players time to get into a pep side like if you look at we admire as people say that people don't like his first season at city and it wasn't the best his numbers were up there but it wasn't the best from him as we did get to see typically for wingers it is harder for players to get into it a lot of these players what you've got to realise is there's a documentary of Barcelona one out called Pass, Pass, Move or something it's a pep Barcelona what is it? Antieri Henri is on that and he says I came to Barcelona Antieri Henri I get the ball I fucking run I defend that I beat him score pep Guardiola is like today you're not having the ball today you're not touching it and he's like what he went when Javi and then he has to get the ball to make a run he said so I need you to make a run and he said but you'll drag the back four away because they're going to shit and think it's for him but when you drag the back four away that gives Messi 25 yards to run into with the ball so instead of zipping it over to Henri he zipped it into Messi next minute before he realised what he was doing Messi's right on the edge of the box so you're using people thinking about Henri to get Messi and that's when he said I had to learn that football was and then one game he told him not to shoot and he shot and scored and he took him off oh yeah I remember talking about that one Eric Abidal actually went to the president of Barcelona and said this guy's mad he doesn't know what he's doing I'm a centre back he's playing me left back and he's doing this he's doing that but that's just a genius of the guy so when you actually think about it Jack Grealish is the same he's not the Aston Villa Grealish you don't want him to get on the ball we do because we're fans we want to see Jack play through the middle we want to see Jeremy going boom boom boom but Pep might want Jeremy to just relax a little bit and things and I think you've just got a trust of manager he's the best in the world yeah we can't exactly bone bone at all it is mad Pep's crazy and it's Pep Roulette that's why it's so hard to pick a Pep side because even now we've got three options for left wing that we don't know what he's going to go with and the back four we don't know which way he's going to run it it's difficult my dad my dad actually thinks sometimes Pep does it on purpose to whine people he says to me he just seems to throw my curve ball out there people go what the hell is he doing now what's he doing now I think that's just just Pep's way if you haven't already done the favourite hit the like button on the stream subscribe to the channel if you are new but it's a big Steve obviously in person big Steve show which is a which is sick going really well recently yep any chance to start I wouldn't be disappointed if he started you know I think he's doing really well I think you've seen against Luton first minute two minutes in the game watch it ball goes back to Ortega Kovacic comes flying out of nowhere right in front of him give me the ball Ortega gives it him straight away laid it straight off Rodger Calvin Phillips can't do that Calvin can't he takes two three touches that ball's going he's not moving Kovacic straight in gimme gimme bang and it's like he's an older player he's got a second lease of life on the pen he's good in tight spaces he can get himself out of it he can drive with a ball and we bought him for experience we lost Ilkai Gundel who's in this this running now you need experienced players yeah so they can look around the dressing room and see who's struggling a bit who's confident who's not can go put an arm around him I think Kovacic is that guy we forget he's won the Champions League he's got four or something do you know what I mean he's like and at the minute watching him play I don't think any city fan would be worried if Kovacic started to dab I think again it's do you know what I said about Grealish Humblepile a lot of people now are crying for Grealish like now that he's injured and kind of thing and then having a bit of a utopia I think the same with Kovacic like I've batted the Kovacic signing from day one I thought it was an incredible sign absolutely incredible sign for what he paid 25 metal and I still don't think he's a dun player I think he's going to do really well under Pep or is he 28 I mean we signed Fnandino and he was 28 so I just feel like there's so much more to come from Kovacic like I say secondly it's a life under Pep and yeah he did have a difficult period in this season during the Arsenal game kind of thing he had a shocker in that he had a few bad games but he did hit the ground running here which is not what you see from a lot of players who come under a Pep side he just took it straight away he is incredible in this he said and I'll maintain that if Kovacic started on Sunday like he said I would have no complaints when I looted him when I seen him drop deep and ping that ball off that got me so excited because I would be I spoke to Calvin Phillips a few times right and Calvin's a lovely fellow here and I said to him you've got to watch Roger in that and he was like there's nobody like Roger and I get that it's like he being signed for Juventus when Zidane's playing in the 10 and they're saying when Zidane's injured you've got to play the 10 I ain't going to be doing what he's doing am I I'm my own man but with Calvin he had the worst job in the world when Rodry's not fit you've got to go and do that Fernandinho could do it because what happened was Rodry was the understudy to Fernandinho they played together that season and then Fernandinho realised right I've got to help this kid he's going to go be number one I'm going to come in when they go and get stuff at the end of the ages win a few fouls pull a few people down see City out he understood that Calvin Calvin just came from Leeds he won that England player of the year thing he come into Man City and he's probably sat there first day of training and thought wow what the fuck am I doing here that's what he's probably thought yeah and then he's gone shit I'm in the deep here and then he's only getting scratches of minutes here and there and Pep don't really trust him and then it's all down hill he's gone to West Ham he's seen him he's roster he's crossed two goals and he's got sent off got sent off and it's like I feel for him because I think there's a player in there I do think Calvin is a good player I just got to say that he's he's not going to be he's not he's not a Manchester City player Calvin I don't think he is I don't think he's I think he's had his chance it didn't work out and a perfect fairytale for Calvin Phillips is Leeds United get promoted they come back home yeah Calvin goes back there go back there Reviver's career James Milner on a three so you've got Milner and Calvin Phillips there go round the Premier League right on a few cages Leeds at back kids snapping legs and that and suit Calvin that James Milner on a three where is he now Brighton is that Brighton he's a big Leeds fan and even Milner or so yeah that'll be a that'll be big yes yes Bebo again with a five three shitty super chats bro and all the support big ones everybody's like the stream as well Bebo yes yes everyone needs to trust in Pep Steve you're right though I've said before I swear he makes these mad changes for frills my dad says it all the time to me he'll text me and he'll go fucking hell he's done it again on it he's got me worrying and I'm sat here my dad says I'm sat here ready to enjoy it people throw a curveball in the starting line up and my dad's ass he's going yeah that's the way it is like sometimes you just think it's so the lineup simple it picks itself of course people just throw mad ones in there like I mean Oscar Bob starting would be mad for the weekend I think that's a big opportunity I like Oscar you know I think he's obviously he's very young but that finish at Newcastle is not easy to do no round the keeper as well just a bump bump in and then the other night he come on and he's learning and he's learning he signed a new contract and that and listen you're working with the best manager in the world and you're working with the best players in the world every day he's living the dream Oscar Bob just signed a contract and that but there's no rush for him to do anything he can come in tick along nice just get minutes minutes next season that's when you've got to kick on and step it up again and fight for a place do you think and this is like a weird one I might have caught the United fans in my life but do you think Diabetes now obviously like we're going in favourites look at United fans they're all saying oh I'd be happy if you only beat us to one games anymore like in the season like I mean we can't afford to lose them because we're going for the title no we still need to be winning still need to win them for them they can mourn all they want but for them it's bragging rights it's like how we it was isn't it they were going for titles if we beat them they used to say well well yeah we beat United though and we was happy with that I think they'll be happy with that you know I mean that's just the way it is no doubt man United will come again and we're going to have many a battle with them but at the end of the day um my generation growing up you were tortured by them because they were so good but there's a generation of kids out there now we're torturing them city are torturing them these kids got to go in school and next week if the city flops them they got to take the medicine like we did yeah do you think right now for the job I've seen rumours about getting the players still don't trust him I I call it a poison charge United well it is it's a shit hole at the minute you know what I mean but who is he about I mean you're in that catch 22 do you change again then you've got to bring in a new assistant a new coach new scouts new fitness people new new technology people new analysts you've got to bring a whole new team in then they come in and go e-shut e-shut e-shut I want to get him out he doesn't seem to you're just patching it up bit like their fucking roof just patching it up you know what I mean he's been leaking for 20 years fixed the fucking roof man but who's they bring in who is he to bring in you're better to keep him you know what I mean yeah I don't know they bring in and I think they're going to have to trust a manager at some point to bring there's some form of style but he's a gobsite he come in errors about to change errors about to change fuck off stood on the pitch last game yeah we're going to Manchester Derby City they're all there you're knighted you're knighted you're knighted 13 seconds boom tie gun the one bucket hats on all sat there like knobbeds and we're on the way to the treble mate so he's better off just keep his gobshut man yeah you are right he's he makes him offer his own back at times especially that they want to hear that then they're all there they're listening for that we need some it so he's there with the guy every day ever I got asked this yesterday as well I think when we beaten free one at main road the last ever derby main role was brilliant I remember that night out after that was sensational into Manchester and it was just it was city everywhere it was brilliant I loved that one but the 6-1 at all Trafford man did you go to that yeah I got up in the morning right we met at the cheers bar in press switch 8 o'clock straight on the piss right Balotelli had burnt his gaff down the night before oh the fireworks yeah yeah so we're all going in the bookies there's a william ill next door we're all having balotelli aptrix balotelli 3-1 because we're thinking this mad bastard burnt his gaff down burnt his gaff down we get taxes from from the the boozer to the ground and then he he happened and the only way he can describe it is like being bullied of somebody for 20 years and knocking him out that is how I felt when I walked out of old Trafford and I walked out of old Trafford I was 10 foot tall they'd all fucked off with tails between the legs I'd gone into town it was kicking off everywhere because the city fans were just mocking it people were doing the pos and I had nightclubs and all that it was going off everywhere and I never took I ended up in a house party in moston and it was very scary and I was going to get filled in and I got in this kitchen and they were all on me and I thought I'm going to have to slip out here and I slipped out of the back door and I fucked off it was that pissed I never turned up for work I got sacked and I spent two weeks in my underpants watching the 6-1 on the replaying me house laughing my balls off and then I had to get up and realise it's only a game of football I had to go and get a job yeah, yeah life exists outside of it yeah but I loved it man and I could say that the 6-1 was mint and do you know what it wasn't the 6th goal that got me it was the 5th because I'd grew up watching the 5-1 so I dined out on the 5-1 oh yeah, yeah so there was an old fella next to me I never forget it he must have been 80 odd, yeah a little jacket on little glasses on dead frail silver goes through and I grabbed him and I went please 5 please 5 and then he put it through his legs for 5 so I grabbed this bloke I squeezed it I nearly broke his ribs I was about 20 stone this whole bloke's going mad I'm going mad and I didn't even have I always wanted to sing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 and we started singing it and we only got two verses in and it was 6 that was incredible that was incredible so yeah, they were the days man the Benjani one was good emotional with the Munich thing and everyone molding the scarves up and he kept us behind after the game and we'd won and Fax and Shinoax and his wife appeared in the directors thing with the city scarves they were swinging around and all the city fans were singing and that because we were shit we were shit but we'd done the job but nah I've had some good derby days obviously it's just wild in it but yeah, the 6-1 mate was 6-6 ones incredible sensational like sensational it was just the pride I got off that it was like yeah it almost felt like the tide had turned as well it hurt them that yeah it hurt them that that's delirious of them now it hurts them and it was good it was good that's exactly why leaving it half time against us last season and stuff like that they don't want to go through that same pain of that 6-1 again so that's why they're all getting off early they don't they don't want nothing to do with it they don't want to see they don't want to be there when their team's being that shit I mean we I remember being at Old Trafford when we drew 1-0 and Keith Kerl had a penalty and we were stood in the Stratford is it the Stratford then? no we were stood behind the net wherever where the city fans are now we had the full thing behind the net and Keith Kerl scored a penalty and if you go on YouTube and watch it the fucking scenes behind the net was unreal that's how it much it meant to us you know what I mean they were thinking massive juggernaut we were sitting from main road you know what I mean we had no right to be mixing it with them so we did and now it's changed we're in massive with a juggernaut we just won the treble we've just won 5 trophies in a row they've won a carabao cup and got a bucket hat you know what I mean so it's fantastic for Blues at the minute the bucket hat thing yeah with 10 men Steve I was there yeah it was a good studio and they were all throwing coffee on us and coins because they were above us oh we was only young yeah yeah but we did it and I was there when we got beat 5-0 Andre Konczowski's act trick David Bright well played we had to sign an emergency goalkeeper in the week because we had no keeper we signed Simon Tracy from Sheffield United we're going to Old Trafford a wag school that week and went to the training ground you could just walk in and Uwe Roslow was running around the pitch with him and that kids then I got home got slapped up because the school had rang me dad and said I always said that you didn't go in I got caught twice wagging school once for that the darbe and once when Georgie King Cloddy was signing autographs at me he rolled in the souvenir shop and I went on my own to Moss side and mum and dad did have a clue where I was school had rang he's not here I got home mate there's a search party out there's me with me £2.50 Georgie King Cloddy signed pitch and then I got me slung in bed another thing of football I still got the pitch Cloddy signed I've still got it it's only this big yeah I love it you need to frame that saved on me dinner money up yeah all week and I got a buster from Boston to Manchester I got Manchester to the souvenir shop I queued up people were looking at me because I was in the school uniform but I didn't sell I got in there I had a poster when I got in he said you can only get things signed that were bought from the club I only had £2.50 on there as we bus faired back so I bought a pitch or got it signed off King Cloddy went to the bus stop cried my eyes out so the driver said I'd been mugged do you let me back to Manchester for free did the same trick do you let me back to Boston for free bouncing down the road thinking I'm Charlie big bollocks got in the house got slapped up thrown in bed but at least I was crying in bed with me Georgie King Cloddy I remember you got your picture worth it I loved it mate loved it that was 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 yes yes punny bro prior touch sorry this is prior touch looking forward for a city win on the weekend Georgie planning to also get a man bun no mate no mate I'm actually going barbers today I'm looking homeless the connoisseur Steve is amazing love it yes yes prior touch mate I appreciate that bro big up for the 33 months which is a long time what a goat those were the days that is a great story it's so mad you got some mad stories like that I've got loads of stories city just seems to be doing nothing but shit for you though loads mate it was just it was you just when I did that lad bible video and they were saying like oh Steve that's a lot of Manchester city fans felt like how I felt so when I go out and I go to the ground now they always come up to me and say Steve that's how I felt and that's how I felt and it's true we had the best fans around and when I see people say you know I've got no fans and all that just makes me laugh and sniggle because when this football club was on its ass yeah like the bones of its ass like the main road days we were really poor you wouldn't put up with it now city fans wouldn't put up with it now you'd be like I'm not watching that but we did and we were like a band of brothers we just thought you know what we're here every week we go every week and everyone used to say how good city fans was but I tell you what we were there in our numbers thousands just thinking that one day all of us coming no did we ever think Pep Guard all of us coming no but we always thought we've got an FA Cup running us somewhere we're going to go on a run inflatable bananas and fucking paddling pools and all that we used to bring and we're going to win the FA Cup and we would have took it we would have took it mate and like you say when this football club when this football club gets inside you you can't get rid of it it's like you can't you can't shake it off I remember people on the coaches going I'm not fucking coming again I'm not coming watching this shit again two hours later on the coach home you'd pull up at the stop and you'd go see you later Dave and he'd go I'll see you Sunday so in two hours it was the club but he fell back in love with it again in two hours and that's just what Man City did to you we've laughed we've cried we've been in moments together there's been times when I was a kid when I used to cry because I used to read in the paper that the club was under threat and I used to think I might not have a football club but people used to say oh your team's going bumping all that and I'd be like saying to me dad what does that mean and he's like oh well we won't be but we'll do this and maybe one day and all that and it's just it's just where you come from and what you even listen there's a lot more bigger better City fans out there than me you know did that book that Nigel Gregory written the new one to the Blue Moon and back you can buy it off Amazon Nigel's the biggest City fan I know and that book is unbelievable for any Man City fan wants to know about main road stories get that book it's broken down into chapters pre-season tours Nigel is that big of a City fan that City had a training camp in Abu Dhabi last year and Nigel flew out just in case they did a behind closed door friendly and he needed to be there just in case so he didn't miss a match so he didn't miss it and he went and sat around the pool just in case so he was there it happened just in case and like you say there's loads of people out there City fans who are fantastic I've met hundreds of them but this club is special man it is special Johnny there saying what's the book called again it's called to the Blue Moon and back because he's worked out that he's been watching City for all him years and he's got all the miles of the away games he's been to and he could have actually flown to the moon and back that's incredible it's a brilliant book that's incredible I'm sure you spoke about this it was a couple months back and that so the Blue Moon and back on Amazon by Nigel Gregory it's absolutely fantastic book yeah and he got me wanting to get it now I've got one I'll send it to you growing up in Boston as a kid in the 80s it was dangerous being a City fan me too I'm from Boston I grew up there the Ben Briley the museum the Fashed House yeah it was it was dangerous man but it's not dangerous no more we're on top of the world man we've got to enjoy it yeah weekend then Scorpion 4-0 4-0 yeah 4-0 did we give you a clean sheet yeah no mercy 4-0 thank you very much and that's it that's all we need to do South Stand bouncing bouncing and bouncing we want everybody giving it from the off don't matter if we go a go down or anything like that you know the game keep going yeah yeah do you think it will be a dominant display from City are you not asked I think the way I see it going in my head I think we dominate the game yeah I agree this year I was working for City on the pitch and part of me was thinking you know what you can't be too cocky because you're on the pitch and you know you're representing man's city and all that and then I thought you know what bollocks to it I'm going to tell the truth so I told him we're coming today you'll struggle to get the ball off us and well I'm here and we're beating 3-0 no problem and I believed that we set the tempo it's our house Etihad Stadium's our house we set the tempo you ain't coming to our place and playing your way we're coming and we're playing our way and you've got to dance to the tune it's whether or not you can find a way of getting looker and getting one because no mercy any man's city player that watches this stream no mercy man just no mercy on him 6-1 the other year it was in the 82nd minute and we make a load of changes and they get too back makes it fluffier than what it was yeah because that was that was such a yeah people over look the result that because everyone's saying 6-3 it's a lot closer than it was that was pure domination that game we just made loads of changes and kind of let them back in with them two goals I'd love a clean sheet I just don't listen that's not people about go oh he's arrogant him or big Steve's this and big Steve's that listen big Steve's been around long enough to have his own opinion on football and my opinion is we're going to win 4-0 we're going to wipe the floor we are because we're better than you that is as simple as it is I don't think they've done enough from the past dab results that we've seen under 10-i I don't think they've I know they beat us with that Rashford offside but I don't think they've done enough or come a long way enough to match us no now I know form goes out the win doing everything like that but just on basic the our team the quality of our team is so much further ahead than theirs without a doubt I am I'm confident of a win and like I always say that doesn't that doesn't mean I ain't going to be shitting it I'll still be shitting it when I wake up on Sunday I'll still feel sick so will I and you know no one no one will get more shit than me online if that result goes you're the you've done this thing right where you're the spearhead of the city community yeah I know so if we lose yeah there'll be little clips of like us and that of what we say but most of it I've got I mean all those fans yeah in this chat yeah you should all be thanking big Steve because every time city lose and especially United if anything that was to happen this weekend
