Great to have "one of our own" on TV at last ... very much needed amongst a sea of ex-United & ex-Liverpool players.

I like Souness too - he genuinely seems to be fair and give credit where it's due, which can't be said of most of the biased fools he so often has to share a studio with.

(Some of the reckless tackles he perpetuated as a player were pretty unforgivable - but that's another matter - he seems to have calmed down and matured in his old age)
 
A few years ago the London Branch of the OSC turned up at City’s hotel (an away game at Arsenal the following day if memory serves) for a function that no-one at the club had thought to inform Roberto Mancini, who looked as if he’d swallowed a cat turd, about.
After a fair bit of confusion, Bernard Halford was despatched to host a Q&A with the supporters, and the club agreed to allow one of the players to attend for an hour or so. That player was Micah Richards. He proved a superb representative. Smart, entertaining, good natured, the perfect man for the job. No surprise, to those of us who were there that evening, that he should now be proving such a natural in front of the camera and making light work of punditry
 
Great right up to the point someone in his ear said talk about Foden going out on loan.

He knows it won't happen but still did as he was told.

It had producer all over it. Wants to get a regular gig so did as he was told. It made him look totally clueless though. Or maybe he is just that clueless he think it might actually occur.

You seem to have a real problem with Richards?
I thought he was a great pundit.

He is and its really refreshing to see a pro City face on our screens but why would he talk about Foden going on loan like that when he of all people, an ex player, someone close to the club know full well it isn't ever happening? Why not say sorry but he isn't going anywhere like Pep did post match?

Happy the lad is building a career in the media but if he wants to take the Sky £££ he can take a bit of flak that will come when he spouts the Sky agenda and lines that we all know are frankly fucking bollocks.

I thought his personality came across very well but I agree he is clearly poorly informed if he thinks there is a chance Foden will go out on loan next year.

However I think it is more likely Micahs not fully versed on the likelihood of that happening than him spreading a false narrative for Sky to have a dig at the club. More likely he said something under pressure and then ran with it.
 
I like him bit sometimes like it panders abit to the sky media. Dont agree with some of his views about Foden personally think Foden is better of staying at City learning from the best manager in the world and some of the best players in the world. Dont see the benefit of going out on load and playing and training at a lower level.
On the whole Micah is ok, plus it's nice to see an ex City player as a pubdit

There's more chance of Joe Hart winning golden gloves this season than Foden going on loan next.
 
A little bit too Kriss Akabussi for a miserable twat like me, but probably the only regular pundit, who fans of others clubs, associate solely with us.
I knew he'd get stick after suggesting that Foden might benefit from a loan spell, but equally I've heard many blues give the same opinion.

He's doing a cracking job of talking up City and speaking out on big issues, exactly the sort of person we need on TV.

He puts a smile on my face just seeing him on TV because he looks made up to be on there.

He's been on Sky and BBC a few times now and he's been brilliant every time, keep it up Micah!

well said and Micah is doing a top job. I loved the way Souness was getting frustrated when Micah couldn’t stop praising City and Foden in particular.
