Someone was giving him grief over his weight and appearance. It was also a subtweet replying to a rail signalling issue.
Son looks perfectly happy after the match! I wonder what Pep is saying. please log in to view this image
Apparently, there was a Spurs fan behind the dugout who kept baiting Postecoglou into intentionally throwing the game so Arsenal wouldn’t win the title and eventually Postecoglou snapped and confronted him. Really pathetic from some Spurs fans, especially when top 4 was still viable. They have to be the most tinpot ‘big’ club in England.
An Everton and Leeds mate both said they'd cheer if their teams conceded goals to cost their rival (not sure who the Leeds fan was even thinking of in that scenario..) which is pretty pathetic from them. Imagine wanting to throw a game just for 'the bants'.
I would never want City to lose even if it meant Leeds were relegated or missed out on promotion or whatever. I dislike Leeds. I dislike a few other clubs. I still wouldn’t want City to lose a game if it inconvenienced another team I didn’t like. The Spurs situation is bizarre. Large sections of the crowd were pretty much chanting and cheering on for Man City to win. Postecoglou probably had the same realisation that Mourinho and Conte did i.e. that Spurs’ entire culture for the last 20-30 years has been a rotten loser mentality of cutting off their nose to spite their face. Let’s say hypothetically this year, Leeds were actually in Brum’s situation. City go into the final game against Plymouth with an outside chance of play-offs but City must win and hope West Brom lose. If Plymouth win, it means Leeds go down to League One. Any City fan that would want City to lose to Plymouth purely to spite Leeds would be a ****ing idiot and should never be taken seriously again regarding football.
It'd be like our fans booing our equaliser against Ipswich because it helped Leeds. Utterly embarrassing. Even if we were mid-table and the game meant nothing I don't think I'd want us to lose to send Leeds down. If anything it'd be funny being able to say to them "You're only in the league because of us". It reminds me a bit of 12/13 where Leeds winning a (to them) meaningless game against Watford sent us up. Imagine them throwing that game to stop us? Would be rubbish.
Some Spurs fans were ejected for their own safety last night, they celebrated the Man City goal and got attacked by their fellow fans.
Pep: " About the proposed contract, is she still a goer?" Son: " Nudge, nudge, , saay no mower. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat. See you in August, up North. " Pep: "Aye, we've sorted out the painting and furnishings as you requested."

A quick look at how our local teams fared this season: North Ferriby FC The Villagers started life in the Northern Premier League Division One East with a 4-1 win over fellow newly promoted side Newton Aycliffe and a run of one defeat in five suggested that they might go straight through. However, a tricky Easter period coupled with injuries saw Ferriby fall away and end the season in a respectable 8th place. Tom Corner topped the scoring charts with 16 goals, while transferwise former City youth players Harry Lovick, McAuley Snelgrove and Harry Wallis added guile and bite to their attack. Other former City lads include Danny East, Adam Bolder (yep, still) and Danny Emerton. Bridlington Town FC Unlike North Ferriby, Bridlington had a much tougher season. The Queensgate side managed to avoid relegation on the final day of the season by virtue of goal difference, sending Brighouse Town and Winterton Rangers down instead after drawing 1-1 away at Consett. The Seasiders will hope to have a much stronger season next year, however with long serving owner Pete Smurthwaite looking to step down and the club up for sale, some stability will be wanted if they hope to progress. The club has no debt, something Smurthwaite can be credited for and whoever takes over is going to inherit a great club at a cracking ground with a small but dedicated following. The top goalscorer for them was Lewis Dennison with 12 and again we see a strong local connection to City; Glen Sani, Ellis Barkworth (great hairdresser, by the way), Jake Brown and Matty Dixon all turned out for Town this season. Beverley Town FC Good times seem to keep finding Beverley Town, as they were promoted to the Northern Counties East League Premier Division via the playoffs. Town were harshly denied automatic promotion despite scoring 132 goals this season and amassing 103 points. Imagine that for one second. Imagine 103 points NOT being enough to win the league. The miracles of non-league. In any case, firm congratulations to manager Dave Ricardo and all his players, Joe McFayden was the top scorer with 33 goals (former City youngster Ben Hinchliffe could only manage a paltry 21 - pah), but amazingly didn't take the golden boot in that division. He didn't even come second. No, he finished FOURTH, behind Parkgate's Ross Duggan (39), Kieran Watson of Shirebrook Town (40) and James Cusworth of Horbury Town (49). Jesus tapdancing Christ, and Tim Walter says he can bring attacking football to Hull City, never mind that, get down the Norwood Park Ground! Here's the league table for any doubters of non-league football's fun factor: Spare a thought for Ollerton Town and their fans. They averaged an attendance of 86 this season, bless them. I imagine Dave and his dog will have some serious questions for the management with a goals against column of 206. Here's the playoff final for anybody who hasn't seen it. Hall Road Rangers Have folded. Sad that, was a great option when City were away, but they just couldn't get the fans or the funding to keep going. Hull United Finished 14th in the Humber Premier League, free of the curse of Jamie Waltham. South Cave United Finished 3rd in the Humber Premier League, but as there are no playoffs in that division and it's one up, one down, only Thorne Colliery, who hail from Doncaster will go up and you'd hard press to convince anybody that they should be playing in what is almost a completely East Riding based league, but okay. Some reshuffling will have to be done in terms of teams coming down, as the three teams from Beverley's division that would come down (Ollerton, Swallownest and Yorkshire Amateur are all based ****ing miles away).
I don't condone it, but comparing us and Leeds to Spurs and Arse is way off. Their mutual rivalry is more akin to Celtic n Rangers ie different level by far. I'd imagine the vast majority would want their team to win but when the near inevitable happened they would take solace and have fun with the fact the scoreline was screwing Arse.
Not sure I agree, Celtic and Rangers is more equal than Spurs and Arsenal. Perhaps Liverpool/Everton is a better comparison for Spurs v Arsenal. Not sure Liverpool would celebrate missing out on CL if it meant denying Everton success. Everton would certainly celebrate because they're small time ****ers like Spurs.
