Yes - he's still a ****. I was almost tempted to comment on this particular gem yesterday:
"Guardiola is right. Some contact, clearly, has to be allowed but “there are limits”, as he says. Anything that endangers a player needs proper sanction from the referee. English football spent most of the second half of 2017 watching City in awe but insufficient time actually listening to Guardiola. A timely new year’s resolution for English football is for Guardiola’s plea to be heeded."
Imagine if another manager had been saying this for years and been ignored/ridiculed for being a soft French manager
