Despite the incredible success enjoyed over the past six seasons, it's probably fair to say that Manchester City supporters and Pep Guardiola have not always seen eye to eye.
That isn't to say that City fans have at any point been unhappy with the Catalan's work at the club - one could hardly grumble at three Premier League titles, a maiden Champions League final and some of the most beautiful football we've ever seen played along the way. It's more that there's sometimes felt a slight disconnect between the two.
As we saw earlier this season, Guardiola has developed a habit of taking out his frustrations through thinly-veiled criticisms of attendances and the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium. That hasn't sat well with some - after all, you wouldn't expect the manager, effectively the public spokesman of the club, to fuel lazy stereotypes and falsehoods about City's support.
