Why would changing your hair make you arrogant? Genuinely not understanding the reasoning there.
I can think of a few things you could say about someone that did that regularly but arrogant wouldn't be one of them.

Its just a matter of semantics. The whole point is that it does not endear you to anyone.

It's a terrible use of an adjective is what it is. Poor to generalise someone's character to that extent because they like to change their hair style.
Exactly, no one is saying he is above criticism. But using a haircut is beyond stupid. The fact that people do it on a daily basis doesn't make it any less stupid. So rather than excuse it and blame him for other people's stupidity, lets actually contribute something useful.
You just just summed it up that they get it worse because of bias of colour. That is the essence of racism. More subtle than outright abuse, but all in the same strand my angle isn't ridiculous at all.

Dunno'? Just thankful I'm not looking at those trips in one of the moodyist groups I've seen in a long time.
Hardly. I have been very balanced in my assessment. All I said was that its gives off a negative perception which it does. Thats why the media has been quick to criticize him.
I said 'maybe' and you implied that only black footballers face any sort of criticism and white footballers get off scot free which is why I said your angle might be 'ridiculous'. Also I am a minoriy myself and faced my fair share of unsavoury events around the world including Britain.

You called someone arrogant on the basis of him changing his hair.
Thats not balanced. It's a sweeping generalisation based off nothing he's said or done to warrant that.
All haircuts and bs aside. It's hard to argue that Pep has made City an impressive force so far, in the first half they played some of the best football I've seen from a Premier League team in a while.
One thing that I admire about Pep, is he has balls to make big big decisions. Like being the first manager to finally realise that Yaya Toure is a lazy **** and hasn't been in the squad. He gets a strong work ethic out of his players and it is admirable. I do like Pep as a manager and do wonder whether he would of been better for us than Mourinho. It's one of them things we will have to wait and see regarding who does better in the coming season/s.

Through fan passion, which admittedly has no logical rational to begin with; you mate have to be the most schizophrenic poster there is around these here parts.
You've been buoyant and gushing about Utd with a lot of others in here the first three games, or since Jose's come in more so (which was WAY OTT praise to begin with as an observation for who you played and the stuttering manner of performancse); and then you go to the other end of the spectrum when Utd finally lose a game.
It's either 'CHAMPIONSHIP!' or the World is falling. There's no in-between.
Try staying medium on both wins and loses. It'll help your blood pressure.

This. Ignoring the part that he isn't arrogant, a hair style is absolutely no point of analysis.

It's barmy to be kind. And pretty darn insulting to the fella'.
I personally think it's crazy some of the fashion statement hairstyles these days with young kids. But that's their choice and the fashion of the time. But I sure as heck I don't think any less of them when I pass them in the street. More a 'yer daft ******' chuckle at worst as me nan would say but each to their own. But then I know I did a heck of a lot of daft things when I was still 23. But nothing malicious to have me branded an arrogant or worse. Just part of growing up as most everyone does.
People get so fixated with other people, who more often than not are having absolutely no baring on their lives, it's untrue.
For the media to criticise him on the field down to his changing hair, or worse brand him arrogant, is terrible journalism. And completely disingenuous to be polite.
For anyone to then read that and agree like it's a valid point say's FAR more about that person than it ever does Paul Pogba.
This whole 'debate' is utterly barmy.
I knew that Guardiola would win the game and always had his team as favourites. I don't fall for the "Guardiola is overrated" mob or "he's always had it easy". Guardiola vastly improves every team he's been at.
went to a CL group stage game v feyenoord at OT in the 90s,i was a teenager and when we scored the feyenoord fans abused our section.I was inly about 14/15 and a female feyenoord fan called me a cun*t and gestured to me.Not a nice experience.
Changing the subject,yesterdays game showed that we are still short of energy in midfield as pogba should be playing further forward without a doubt

Interesting for me to see how far pushed up he had the 'keeper yesterday as Klopp's been doing exactly the same thing with Karius pre-season now he has a good distributer of the ball in nets to keep the rotation going and constant quick pressure.
The ball playing sweeper 'keeper could become a PL trend.
Everyone gets called a ****. It's just part of the game. Just try sitting behind a goal...
You're a ****
You're a ****
Forster you're a cuuunt
I think its more a case of being part of the culture,its not part of the game.Its not acceptable for kids to hear that kind of thing.Any adult who uses that language at a sporting event should be banned.Its a game of football,A GAME.i LOVE football,but im an adult now and realise there are far more important things in life.
