Saturday night, I was concocting a conversation in my head between Klopp and Guardiola...
It went a bit like this...
Jurgen: Hi Pep, how's it going? Good result for you today...
Pep: Yeah cheers. We kept it civilised unlike you lot the other week...you nearly blew it...
J: Ja ja, I know...we were taken by surprise...we never thought it would be so easy and we nearly fucked it up...the guys just got carried away in the first half...so I said at half time 'that's it, no more goals'...but Mo begged me to let him get his hat-trick and then promised to stop playing...so that's pretty much what happened...the guys were gutted though because we stopped playing at 50 minutes...they wanted 10 and probably could have got them too...
P: Yeah, especially after that dick Pogba got himself sent off...I could see your guys trying to rein it in...we had to pretty much stop playing from minute one...another 5-0 and Ole would have been gone...
J: Definitely...you did us all a favour there...got to keep that little guy in a job...makes ours so much easier...
P: Couldn't agree more...now we just have to make sure that Thomas doesn't blow it...
J: Don't worry...I have had a word and he is onside with all of this...
P: That's great then...we can't have United getting in someone competent as it just gives us another contender...
J: Agreed...let's stay in touch and if we need to talk to other managers about keeping Ole at the wheel, then we will...
P: Sounds good...bye for now...
