Media coverage 2018/19

[SWP's back]

Jim Beglin, Andy Hinchcliffe, Alan Smith, Niall Quinn, Martin Tyler or using your eyes to follow a match, no contest for me.

And not having a clue when a whistle is blown or hear the crowd. Come off it.

Same, I often search out a foreign stream preferably in a language I don’t understand.

Ditto. My listening skills in Portuguese, Russian, and Ukrainian have come on leaps and bounds, but my blood pressure simply cannot handle Arabic.

That is one of the worst decisions sky made by doing away with the crowd noise only matches, I don't need a commentary when I am at the match.

 

[asaluttar]

You're not telling me seriously that you watch City on telly in total silence?

Its more realistic though, like actually being at the stadium, all alone and surrounded by all those empty seats

 

[CC1]

Just heard superb comments from Frank Lampard about yesterday’s result. Obviously has strong affiliation to Chelsea but stated quite clearly that City are a superb team & as he played for us, he said he also had feelings for City & the club. Great guy

I used to love that. No idea why they stopped it.

Haha, I love the Arabic commentary, they're hilarious, I find their giddiness infectious too.

I think Alan Smith is one of the better ones for me. I don’t mind him as he doesn’t make snide remarks about us

Just a thought but some of the more colourful lamguage is audible when it's just crowd noise, I imagine advertisers would have an issue with that.

I found myself almost hyperventilating listening to the guy. You reckon he's taken it to his highest level and peaked only for him to take it one step further. The number of times Allah seems to be evoked came as quite a surprise, too.

Sounds constantly blocked up, like the guy from the old Tunes adverts: a 'first class dicket to dottingham, please'.

He doesn’t blow smoke up the arses of united and pool teams, he gives a fair assessment and commentary

Ian Wright described Sterling as 24 yesterday in his punditry, for some reason I found that shocking.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

It's funny how the RDAHMeedya focus on the dreadful performance of the team we have just battered. 606, while I'm waiting for those bastards in Blue Car Park to get out of my way, just wanted to talk about how poor CFC were. I didn't think they were that bad. They'd have beaten a lot of the teams that have been to the Etihad this season. They wanted CFC fans to phone in, and then they finally got to a couple of City phonees! The Times this morning is very scathing about Chelsea. They awarded them something like 38 out of 110 (we got 98!), and the back four got 2 each I think. They weren't that bad - it's just that for once we converted nigh on every thing that came our way!

Pretty much spot on there.
On another day we don’t get the penalty, or be as clinical in front of goal, ends up 2 or 3 instead of six.
We played really well in spells, unplayable, but Chelsea didn’t play bad. They just got beaten by the best side ever to play in the English top league.

Many of us do Dave, especially when it's Tyler and G Neville.

Because without it, they can't remind you about the upcoming vitally important NFL coverage or the Burnley v Huddersfield game they're showing tomorrow.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Chelsea didnt play as bad as the media are saying , at 4-0 they had a 15 minute spell before half time and created chances , but didnt take them , where as we were very efficient taking ours . The 2nd half was about Chelsea keeping the score respectable and we definitely took our foot off the gas , but we never get the credit we deserve from the media , as others have stated the Dipper and Rag wins against mediocre opposition were not followed by headlines of Ranieri and Howe potentially losing their jobs , it was all about the brilliance of OGS & Klippety and their teams . Click bate is the new force.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I do not believe that anyone who calls themselves a fan sits with the telly on mute when City are on. That’s utterly insane.

Don’t think Neville is that bad although he obviously gritting his teeth, the other fella Tyler I really can’t listen to him
