Pep Guardiola would gain much more respect from me if he could simply stop with his incessant spitting.
Much is made of the examples footballers should be setting whilst on the pitch and off it, and quite rightly so, but for me that starts right at the feet of the manager, and I cannot remember a time where the pitch-side cameras have looked at the City dug-out or technical area when City have been playing, and we've not had a full-screen picture of Pep rolling his regular white ball of spit on the tip of his tongue and then spitting it on the ground.
An absolutely horrible habit, and a terrible highly-visible example to set by a man in his position.
