We all love a Pep meltdown but honestly I fucking rate this. It’s weird leeching behaviour. Making an industry out of stalking footballers and managers to get them to autograph memorabilia en masse. It’s not for you it’s for eBay. The ‘Can I have your shirt’ signs can do one too. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Such weird unsavoury behaviour. Not even trying to hide the fact that they're hawking those on eBay the minute they get home.

justoffthestriker.bsky.social•127 days ago

Honestly they're absolute tramps.

Same as the morons that stand outside the training ground with a box of shirts getting them signed to flog to other morons for 300 quid a pop.

davidthurgood.bsky.social•127 days ago

Should only be for Charity Auction. Would tell the guy with the rings stretching the shirt out to do one immediately.

joeryan01.bsky.social•127 days ago

Just tell em to fuck off.

davidthurgood.bsky.social•127 days ago

Wait a second....... that's not a signed shirt seller! That's Vector from Despicable me! He would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling Pep.

One of the things I hate the most in football now is those signs begging for shirts, gets right on my tits.

johnfiorentini.bsky.social•127 days ago

The way round it is to ask their name and sign it ‘To ….., from …..’
If they all start doing it then it’ll weed out the genuine fan from mercenaries like this.

jmmcfaul.bsky.social•127 days ago

I'm really impressed. He could refuse to sign the shirts but he doesn't. He signs them but challenges them to do something better with their lives. Fair play.

matwakefield.bsky.social•127 days ago

Underrated that he approaches ever interaction like a champions league final team talk 😂

drkazman69.bsky.social•127 days ago

It's weird, but I remember gaining a huge amount of respect for him when he played a lot of his first team (KDB, Aguero Mahrez etc) vs Burton Albion 2nd leg of the league cup semis. Away from home, small league one stadium and 9-0 up from the first leg, all the while in a super tight title race too.

matwakefield.bsky.social•127 days ago

I do like him, but a lot of that’s because under everything he’s a weird little guy

tvrlfc.bsky.social•127 days ago

Yeah, me too. I don't particularly like him but he's absolutely right in this situation.

onetruewalsh.bsky.social•127 days ago

He is dead on. He actually wants these guys to have a better life

bluebaby1967.bsky.social•127 days ago

I absolutely love "where are your dreams?"

clinteldorado.bsky.social•127 days ago

Wrestling fans have been doing this for donkey’s years, and wrestlers are well aware of it. They’re not as animated as Pep because they’re usually being harassed at airports when they’re jet-lagged to fuck, but the “fans” do get told where to go.

littlemissy145.bsky.social•127 days ago

Surprised he didn’t just sign one and be like that’s it. It’s a joke

bluebaby1967.bsky.social•127 days ago

"I KNOW YOUR FACES". "DO YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS" "WHERE ARE YOUR DREAMS?" Superb 👌👌👌🥶

themaybepile.bsky.social•127 days ago

Can't blame them. The system we've built makes this a more viable, fulfilling income than most 9-5's. Pep imploring faith in a meritocracy that rewards hard work and dedication...really...does anyone still believe that's how the economy works for most people?

geordierob.bsky.social•127 days ago

I 100% blame them, little apprentice stalkers the lot of them.

themaybepile.bsky.social•127 days ago

Fair enough but they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't make more economic sense than a 'proper job' and that reflects poorly on all of us imo

geordierob.bsky.social•127 days ago

Nah not for me, there’s loads of ways of making money most of them just don’t wanna graft. Every apprentice we get at work ends up saying it’s too hard and leaving bar the odd one, if they do the apprenticeship they can earn a lot more than selling a few football tops.

themaybepile.bsky.social•127 days ago

Fair enough, but I don't want to hear any complaints when you can't find that match worn, signed Emmanuel Rivière shirt you've been after. Some poor lad has to put in the graft to get it on eBay...😉

geordierob.bsky.social•127 days ago

Me when I can’t find it

darrencamo.bsky.social•127 days ago

Completely agree. Well played Pep

prasshant.bsky.social•127 days ago

Hahaha... Love it. He is spot on too.

llc00lluke.bsky.social•126 days ago

This clip of former WWE wrestler Jeff Hardy went viral a few years ago. It’s just a really shitty thing to do to people. https://youtu.be/cpXp_XBO7Xo?feature=shared

lexio.bsky.social•127 days ago

Hope when get home and look it says “fuck off”

colfonz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Spot on this. And don’t give me ‘yeah but he gets paid millions’ because he’s worked hard to get to where he is and earned his position.

redlester.bsky.social•127 days ago

“You’re not fit to wear the shirt”. But can I have a signed one please? 🙄

peterfearns.bsky.social•127 days ago

Man who gets paid millions for picking a football team berates idiots trying to make a few quid. It's all shite.

iaindowie.bsky.social•127 days ago

a completely seperate point, but why any wealthy person chooses to live in a highrise city centre apartment block is beyond me. could live anywhere. expect it's pretty plush and all, but surely a very obvious advantage of having that sort of money would be space and fresh air and tranquility?

clinteldorado.bsky.social•127 days ago

Convenience, I’d imagine. Living in a mansion out in the sticks is great, but not when you run out of milk at half eight at night.

pudsey68.bsky.social•127 days ago

Some are city people, some are country people. I guess he likes the city.

nickoluigi.bsky.social•127 days ago

Also for safety. Seen how many isolated footballers get their homes robbed?

griff100.bsky.social•127 days ago

Fair Play where it's Due 👌

rubensreddevils.bsky.social•127 days ago

Even weirder that he stops to actually engage with them, if as he states “he knows who they are”

bluebaby1967.bsky.social•127 days ago

I think it's because the camera is there. A very public humiliation inflicted.

mickeyhynes.bsky.social•127 days ago

nickoluigi.bsky.social•127 days ago

Yes Pep.

ndyer21.bsky.social•127 days ago

Fair play to Pep, kids I can understand, but Adults; do one. But when they come with the ‘rings’; I’d be tempted to write FU on them😉

gotalightboy.bsky.social•127 days ago

‘Fooking. ‘ell man’, is the correct response.

comradegrushko.bsky.social•127 days ago

YouTubers, TikTokkers and football club TV boffs all need to fuck off as well.
