Micah Richards the pundit

[City Raider]

Compared Foden to Jack Wilshere when he burst onto the scene on 5 Live - ‘that’s how good he can be!’

Lol

 

[stonerblue]

Calm down petal. Some of us prefer a bit more than laughing and joking around. Early days for him but he wont be around if thats all he’s got.

Lovely and calm here thanks chick

Always gets me that you're angry or upset when you disagree with somebody but they aren't upset by disagreeing with you?

Odd stuff lol

 

[BlueTG]

This thread will go in the same circle as long as he appears on tv.

A fat waste of skin?

Whatever your feelings on his punditry he's doing what your supposed to do these days and for that reason sky will love him for it.

TV is now only the half of it. It's the YouTube links afterwards, the twitter reposts. Those little videos he does are what gains sky its supporters now. More and more people are going to socal media for their info, TV, highlights, entertainment etc making their own channels and 2 min clips.

I like Lescott as a pundit more than Micah.

I'll be alone in this, but I was a bit embarrassed by Micah (not the singing bit, but what was supposed to be analysis). He was buzzing, fine, but he really didn't give any kind of analysis. I can do what he did, in fact I did do it in front of my telly. But I'm not asking anyone to listen to me, and I don't get paid for it.

You're not alone.

Did Micah just say 'fancy bollocks' on the beeb? :)

This won't be popular but the only pundits I think are worth listening to are Souness and Neville. Souness has been a player, manager and although he is grumpy you know that he is telling you what he thinks from experience and I don't find him biased, although others may do.

When I heard Neville was going to be a pundit, my blood boiled. We've enough reds on the TV and don't need any more but he is superb. He laughs at himself and analyses the games in a neutral way. He's a guy who's also got good insight and I never thought I would say that about him.

I like Micah, he's a blue, but I'd prefer it if sometimes he wasn't the clown and just told us what it's really like. The lad made his debut very early, had a lot on his shoulders at his age, played for England early etc. He's got enough experience to be able to talk about it rather than trying to be the clown. Winding Keane up is fun, but after a while it distracts from what he should be doing - talking about the game and using his experiences to explain it to us.

Micah is a breath of fresh air on the telly. A bit of lighthearted relief

A few turtle neck wankers are always going to be put out by a confident, carefree young man

Peter Drury is best for me.

In regards to Micah, just being a City representative is good enough for me, at least he, De Jong and Lescott stop the one side scum and candlepool drivel that is usually spouted. It is also good to see the amount of gloating that is currently happening, with the run the we are on now.

I think he needs to defend city when required but not be so much a cheerleader
But to have a young, confident black former city player is what’s needed. A different upbringing and experience of how to make it in the game and also gives us a presence on tv
With all the shit going on over social media I think Micah is best when he is talking about his experience of the game.
I think Keane and souness actually like him because he is honnest and they don’t take to fakers (Owen, mcmanaman, Jenas)

DeJong is very good on Bein

I think the clowning and joking is his shield against being "the new boy".
He's stepped in to a different world where he's open to criticism and the usual social media attention.
I believe he will get better as he builds his self-credibility and believes he's got something worth saying and worth listening to.
God forbid he follows the Garth Crooks path of overblown self importance.

Don’t be taken in by Neville’s mask. He is still a snide **** who despises us and our fans. He deserved every drop of beer that was flung over him at Brighton

He was on last night saying how he loved Newcastle and wanted them to do well.

I wonder why he was singing "sad geordie bastard, and shit football team".

The comments about city legends room being "Stevie Lomas and Georgie Kinkladze" too, from a bog standard serviceable footballer who hardly a legend nor his mediocre mate.
