All this sort of started in 2002 and since then they focused a lot more on their academy and ensuring players like Inestia were considered the future of their team as opposed to big, strong, fast players.
Guardiola arrived as the first generation of this new era Barcelona team came to their peak. However it was the product of 10 years of work. He had all that going for him as well as a bigger budget in a less challenging league.
I think he is still a great manager. His team play good football and it takes a certain strength to cope with the pressure he was under. You may have the best players in the world but you still need to manage them. However we have no idea how Guardiola will do outside Barcelona, a team he knew well, a culture he understood and the organisation he grew up in.
Importantly we haven't seen how he would cope in a set-up and scenario that would meet him at Arsenal. He has one real job in management and it wasn't one that had the challenges he would face in England or at Arsenal.

Pep enforced a breath of fresh air. Barcas system was in place agreed but it was slacking. Pep come in and tightened things up.

You can try though. I'm going to remind the world of 2008 until it happens again. in 08 Boro done it here with Wenger and co. Playing style that is.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
People slagging Giroud off are idiots anyway. Even in games he hasn't been scoring in his movement is excellent and he opens up the field for other players such as Walcott.
