A couple of years ago during a lean time on and off the field, Phil Foden answered a knock on his door to find Guardiola standing there unannounced. The men hugged and went inside where just about everything apart from football was discussed for an hour.

This instinctive but deep emotional intelligence extends to club staff, too. Guardiola sends notes of support to the women’s team staff while in his office hangs a list of birthdays of all first-team employees. The rule is they bring the cake for celebration but a fuss is then made. Birthday wishes are beamed on screens around the CFA and a bottle of champagne may be presented.

At least two wider City staff members have been given extended compassionate leave for family reasons, at Guardiola’s request, while he took it upon himself to persuade club bosses all staff should be paid in full during the Covid pandemic, as many Premier League rivals leant into the Government’s furlough scheme. On another occasion Guardiola went to war with Omar Berrada over employee bonuses.

Guardiola walked into one tense meeting and told Berrada he was paying employees £10,000 each from his own bonus as a Premier League title win pot. In no uncertain terms, Berrada was urged by his manager to sort out the rest – and quickly. Staff in that exchange gawped in amazement. Berrada, in his defence, had rightly been worried about tax implications of gifts.

Source: "The truth is he will do anything for anybody on the [team] plane. There are those who leave the club and make sure they say they owe him everything."

@LNRailway my train just terminated at Milton Keynes. It was the 8:53 London Euston to Crewe. Is there cross ticket acceptance with avanti?

@Ticketmancity This thread has me rolling 😂

@MatthewshawShaw I love Ho Chi Minh but it probably is just a hotter Hanoi. We didn’t spend much time in Hanoi, only as a stop on the way to ha giang to do the loop. Ha long bay is another good one. I didn’t like Hoi an, full of taxi driver scammers and commercialised boats/ coconut boats!

@TfL completely get trying to get ticket inspectors on at rush hour but causing a jam when a moving escalator is pushing people into that jam on a footbridge is pure stupid and could cause serious harm - video taken at the end of the rush where it was less busy

[Hannah Thorp @hanthorpy]

someone pls explain why Gary Neville is ALWAYS commentating city’s games. Ffssssssss

[Steven @StevenMcinerney]

This is what happens when you decide to let people neurotic enough to want to be refs in the first place have all the tools and time in the world to be incredibly annoying and neurotic with. The joy of the sport is disappearing.

Pep Guardiola is back at it.

He uses press conferences for his own personal amusement. 😂
