    Building of the Pep supremacy is an era that will be defined by sham-ball - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    “Do you know the question that you are asking me? Today, do you honestly think it is my job to make this kind of question happen …” Cut to the long, painful pause. Chuck in a deep, shaming stare, eyes that have suddenly become death rays of betrayal and disgust and Pep Guardiola himself transformed from a man cheerfully toasting his own FA Cup final victory to a grizzled chief detective addressing a room full of convicted perverts. Guardiola had the wind entirely at his back at this point, sitti

    Come back soon Premier League, the endlessly moreish mega-product - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Get ready for the dopamine crash. And this one really is a proper autumn nosedive. The past 17 days up to and including Sunday’s cut-off gave us 30 Premier League games and 79 goals. Which, if you take Spurs out of it – and this is fair because Spurs are now post‑goal, an entertainment concept unrelated to goals or even football itself – is really quite a lot. Are your pathways stimulated? Are the neural connectors flickering? Well get ready for cold turkey, for 19 blank days of shivers and shak

    Arteta embraces perfect storm to play the victim in game of his own making - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    A gentleman is never rude unintentionally, only by design. Nobody really knows who said this first. But it could easily be a line from the Elite Football Manager’s Guide to Press Conferences (Premier League edition). Because nothing happens by accident in these spaces.

The game is the game, but so are all the other bits spilling out either s

    Premier League money has lost all meaning amid chaotic spectacle of excess - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There was a research study a few years back into a key period in the life of the TV show Location, Location, Location. You know the one. Half an hour of mid-morning drift. Hosted by two people whose common quality is they both look as if the minced essence of Wellington boots, the Volvo XC40 and the phrase “picky bits” has been reconstituted into human shapes, then sent out to judge people for buying houses. The big reveal was always the bit where they came back a year later and saw how much the

    Post-Pep Premier League era begins with blast of hyper-managed shock and awe - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There has been something oddly narcotic and moreish about the drip‑drip of fresh Pep Guardiola content either side of the start of the new Premier League season. Eras come and go. Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact. But four‑part Amazon Prime documentaries make angels of us all. So we have continued to feast on the Pep-at-City visuals: dead jeopardy, reheated beefs, the uplifting team talks of a departed manager to the departed players of a departed team, and moments that often feel far more g
