Last seen painting bison onto Schalke's tunnel walls.

Very good :-)

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Not seen someone misread a game so badly since baconface after the Sick Swan, Martin Keown, you really are one thick c*nt, can't believe this weapons grade bellend gets paid for this shit.

You have mate - Sir Bacon after the Kompany 1-0 later that same season.........

Apparently they always attack and try to win - I must have been at a different ground :-/

radio 2 paper review this morning.city needed v a r s help to scrape past shalke you really couldn't make it up

Eh?

 

[oakiecokie]

best commentator by a mile is Johnathan Pearce

He really is and he shows no bias towards either team when commenting.However he does love watching City play and gives us some great positives.

 

[Saddleworth2]

It is comical. Having watched the Chelsea United, Dipper Munich and City Schalke games over the last three days I can say there is a slight difference in the commentary. United are back to their very very best with the best goalie in the world, Liverpool are the most exciting attacking team ever ever with the best goalie in the world, City are a constant source of disappointment and their goalie has weak hands.

 

[chesterbells]

Who`s better in your humble opinion.

Tbh mate, I grumble about all of them ;-)

I suppose any who I dont react negatively to must be ok, so by that reckoning I guess ... Rob Hawthorne, Guy Mowbray, Arlo White...

"recently discovered taste for letting gilt-edged situations slip." Is it 12 wins in 13? or 13 in 14? Either way? Stupid comment.

Has a go at re-opening Fruadiola.

“We’re not ready to fight for the final stages,” was his assessment and there was enough evidence to suggest that this time he was being sincere.

"City’s biggest problems screamed of recidivism." The only thing that screams recidivism is this newspapers continual luke-warm commentary of MCFC.

It's not the worst piece in the world. In fact in isolation it's fine, but when you benchmark it against Man Utd and Liverpool commentary the difference is stark.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Ian Darke and Martin Keown were shocking last night. I have rewatched the match and the amount of negative comments was unbelievable. They questioned whether we were 'up for the fight', repeatedly questioned Pep's tactics, particularly when he took Sergio off, despite neither of them ever managing / coaching at any standard. Keown repeatedly mentioned the Newcastle game, making inferences that the performance was similar, despite it being nothing of the sort. Their negativity was palpable throughout, this isn't about wanting special treatment, this is about broadcasting corporations employing commentators who are fit for purpose and not purely spouting nonsense and incorrect information. Very poor from BT, as always. Such desperation to see us fail.

My "mate" was watching a Russian stream and although in Russian, could clearly make out "Newcastle " numerous times when behind. I wonder if all of the commentators recieve a cheat sheet or if it's just a coincidence as were not often behind.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

There's a lesson to be had here...

Don't eat yellow snow.

Or log into the MEN. Go for something more balanced like BBC Sport.

Or skip both and go for newsnow

Couldn't believe it when he said that, just turned it over, utterly clueless.

Eh?

Seriously mate, either no research done or just a wind up, pathetic really.

Funny this re: Martin Keown. Whenever I've seen him on MOTD he's been really positive and full of praise for us, so I find it pretty whiffy that as soon as he gets a gig with BT Sport, his whole view on us changes. To me their party line is, "if you want the work with us, then you have to tow our line, when it comes to Manchester City".

****s.

I thought he was alright - he’s just a bit thick

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Big respect to Hargreaves last night before the game, said a lot of good stuff about the club. He also defended the handball and gave that bent twat Walton what for. I'm warming to him.

What about the woman with Brazil who thought Sane didn’t mean that free kick, or Saunders who reckons the ball made it possible but not in his day .

 

[Claytop]

Can't even see a mention of the game on BBC Sport homepage.

Slight ? Lol

I reckon I missed those bits lol. Even Danny Mills was very positive about us.
