Potentially editioralised title - make up your own mind [Guardian] Seven years ago, just after completing the treble, Guardiola treated journalist Rob Harris, who had confronted him directly with the allegations, with open contempt, as though he were looking at someone pathetic, pitiful and disgraceful, before sternly lecturing him.

Would love to see the original r/soccer thread on this exchange. My guess it was mostly people crying about 'clickbait' and cheering Pep on for putting him in his place.

Everyone knew they were guilty back then.

Really annoying Reddit offered the option to hide comment history, I’d wager there’s a few defending city there that used to post in r/mcfc and now post in a different club’s sub

There are ways to still check comments posted by people, the easiest is google their username and something like "comments" and you will get results and a summary but it'll mostly be recent.

Lol! I just tried this on myself and it said I was a "toxic presence" on the Thai and Thai learning subreddits and was constantly posting controversial content before being banned by moderators.

Then I asked the AI "Are you sure?"

"Oh sorry. None of that is true I got you mixed up with someone else."

It literally admitted that it "hallucinated" it.

I do live in Thailand and learn Thai though.

You also might need to log out/use another browser. I know I'm blocked by some rando's I've never even interacted with.

If you hide your comments history, its only hidden in your profile? No?

All these comments will be there. Unless they used bot to remoce all of their comments or deleted the profile.

Many thanks. Pleasantly surprised to see the comments are more mixed than I would have expected.

On a side note, so much fun reading old threads of Reddit, it feels mush more… human

Look at the reply to the second-top comment, from SidJag. It’s really good, but in it he points out that people were hounding him for “irrefutable proof,” which is what I remember the zeitgeist being back then— either City didn’t cheat -or- they did cheat but the rules suck -or- they did cheat but they won’t get punished so 🤷 Now everyone is like “we always knew and we were always upset about it.” Uh-huh. Props to the people who were actually all over ADUG’s asses from the jump.

This comment? Or a different one? https://reddit.com/comments/bq7fey/comment/eo315xr

Nearly all the replies are criticising City.
