00:01Hi mate can I ask your name first of all? Josh. Josh, how long have you been a City fan?
00:06All my life, 24 years. So you've only really known Sub-Sass, haven't you?
00:12I've only known City, I've had a season ticket since 2011, so pretty much all of Guardiola's tendency I've been
00:18a season ticket holder.
00:19What he's done mate, it's unbelievable, unbelievable.
00:23So you'd never have thought it would you when he came in? No.
00:25I mean you he was a good coach.
00:26I thought he'd do 3 years and I thought we'd win a league title but 10 years, Champions League, treble,
00:314 in a row.
00:34My lifetime, I'll probably never experience what I've done in the last 10 years.
00:39So how difficult is it going to be for the next guy to come in do you think?
00:43It's going to be very hard, it's going to be very hard but you've just got to go with it
00:47because we've been so lucky to have what we've had and let's hope it continues.
00:53And then finally, if you'd imagine the camera's pet, send the message to Matt directly.
00:59All you can say is thank you really. Thank you for the memories, like my family's memories, my memories. It's,
01:06yeah, priceless.
01:10Simple. Did I ask you first names please?
01:13My name's Austin.
01:14Linda.
01:16You're not from Manchester I take it?
01:18No, we're from New York City.
01:20Yep, we're part of the Sky Blues supporters group in New York City.
01:24That's how we got here.
01:26So this is your second game you said?
01:28This is my second game, this is her first.
01:30What a game to be at.
01:32I know.
01:33It's going to be highly emotional.
01:34It feels special.
01:34It's going to be amazing.
01:35I'm so sad to hear that Pep is leaving.
01:38I mean we thought we were going to see Stones and Silvas goodbye but this is better than we could
01:45have imagined but I'm really, really, really sad.
01:50Thank God I have the sunglasses on.
01:53How difficult do you think it's going to be for the next guy that comes in to replace Pep?
01:57Man, he's got shoes to fill.
02:00I'm just, I'm just hopeful that our team keeps going and as good as they are this year and that
02:05Pep's prepped all this team to be champions next year.
02:09I think we're going to be winners next year.
02:11I really do.
02:13He's got big shoes to fill.
02:16No, apparently it could be, it looks like at the end zone we're at.
02:19That's what they're saying, right?
02:21I don't know that much about Enzo but I am glad to hear that they said that Pep is going
02:29to be an ambassador to Man City.
02:31So, I think that'll be great.
02:33I think that'll be really great.
02:34So, imagine I'm Pep Guardiola still in front of you now and put that on the camera, what would you
02:40message to Pep be?
02:41Oh my God, I love you so much.
02:44I would want to give him a big hug.
02:47He's the best.
02:48He's the best.
02:49He's the best.
02:49Ten years of amazing, amazing trophies and awards.
02:53Personality.
02:54I mean, like you said, Enzo's got shoes to fill.
02:59Thank you so much.
03:00Can I ask your name please, sir?
03:02Dave, how long have you been a City fan?
03:071969.
03:09So, you've been, you've seen many things at Man City.
03:12I've seen a lot of things, yeah.
03:14What have you made in the Pep Guardiola era?
03:17Brilliant.
03:19Absolutely fantastic.
03:21Couldn't dream of it, could you?
03:22No, exactly.
03:23I mean, how big a miss will it be when Pep goes and how difficult for the new guy?
03:29Massively different.
03:31You can't replace him, can you?
03:33The guy is a legend.
03:35Absolutely.
03:36You can't sleep at nights that bad.
03:39You can't, honestly.
03:40We actually are going to miss a fella.
03:43He is number one.
03:46You've also got the best striker in the world as well though, haven't you?
03:49I like how.
03:50A lot of City fans say, oh, he doesn't fit in, he doesn't do that.
03:53But, how many goals does he score?
03:55You can't argue.
03:56Exactly.
03:57If you keep winning the golden boot, you're doing something right.
03:59Don't play for 90 minutes, he plays for 70.
04:02Scores in that trick.
04:04Who cares?
04:05Exactly.
04:06So, if you were speaking to Pep Guardiola,
04:09now directly, what would you message to Pep?
04:12Please stay.
04:14Please stay.
04:17So, ladies, can I ask you your names please?
04:20I'm Nora, and I'm Marit.
04:23And whereabouts are you from?
04:26We are from Norway.
04:28But whereabouts in Norway?
04:30My dad is from Sonnes, which is near Haaland's home place.
04:38Exactly.
04:40So, you've sort of had Haaland bring you into the Man City phone, is that right?
04:46Yes.
04:47Yes.
04:48Yes, definitely.
04:49And what do you make of Erling as a player?
04:53What has he done for your talent for Norway?
04:58That can you swear on.
05:00Well, Norway has qualified for the World Cup in football quite recently.
05:05So, we're back in the big game with the big teams.
05:11So, Haaland means a lot for Norway.
05:15Norwegian football, definitely.
05:17And also probably one of the greatest strikers at the moment in the world is Norwegian.
05:21Yes, he is.
05:22He is.
05:22I'm joining the fantasy football also.
05:25So, he's been my captain for the season and I'm doing really well.
05:30That's fun.
05:32That's why the always final game at Manchester City.
05:35What do you think Pep has done for Manchester City?
05:39You have to answer that.
05:41He has some good tactics and I think he sees his players.
05:56Well, it's an era, big era, but it's come to a, well, big closure with today's game.
06:06So, we're really looking forward to seeing it.
06:08Yeah.
06:10Enjoy today and enjoy summer even more when Norway win the world.
06:13Oh, yes.
06:14We will.
06:15Thank you so much.
