BT Sport commentary v Arsenal (A)

[vincent]

Interesting to see Sky, especially their website run heavily with the so called robbing of Arsenal given they don’t normally touch games that BT have had.

I suppose the temptation to City bash is just too strong for some to miss out on and the clicks from the red hordes all the justification they need, regardless of whether there is any truth to the shit they are writing or not.

Oh well…….12 points clear…….print that you twats!

Yep I noticed that too..

It will never be any different . Just sit back and enjoy our total control and dominance , haters are there because we are the best team in the land and all the world . Just turn the sound down and gloat.

Is the correct answer.
Don't gloat though, just smile.

McManaman actually said on about 60 mins that he hated how VAR would become the talking point. From about 70 mins it was all they talked about. To me that seems like a producer has told them over the earpieces that the story is VAR and to hit that point again and again.

In turn I expect that VAR controversy articles are what generate the most clicks and comments for BT, which partly helps them to make more money from advertisers.

Social media drives the outrage attention economy we live in and people using it cynically like this is what's poisoning every aspect of public discussion from politics to football to even our healthcare now.

That last paragraph is absolutely spot on.

Yeah just look at this headline on their Twitter page:



Absolutely shocking and unprofessional. Guess they need the clicks..

I complained. Others should do the same. Bias and undermining the laws of the game:

The commentary for Arsenal vs Manchester City was incredibly biased towards Arsenal.
The reporting of VAR incidents during the game set out to create outrage rather than commenting on them referencing the laws of the game Rio Ferdinand and Jake Humphries did all they could to undermine the referee and suggest Arsenal were somehow cheated. Great store was placed on VAR inconsistencies despite the fact that your expert referee Peter Walton described in detail what had happened and why.
The overall commentary of the game was like listening to Arsenal TV. When they played well, commentary bright and humorous and eulogising about how brilliant they were. When City came into the game a noticeable difference in tone.
I am used to your dislike of City through watching your commentary on CL games but this one absolutely took the biscuit. I pay the same subscription as an Arsenal fan and deserve a balanced commentary that covers the good, bad and indifferent from both teams. Neither do i expect to see the City pundit Lescott silenced by the other two when he tried to put forward a counter argument. Really really poor.

No point in complaining, none. It’s a business decision to run with the negative anti City narrative each and every time because social media traffic is monitored and they can see money is made from attacking us at each and every opportunity.

Fuck them.

 

[The blue phantom]

Rawks City thread are still convinced we have bought the Refs, Sky are in our pockets aswell as all the pundits. They all all frightened to speak out against us.

The aftermatch with BT started with Humphrey’s telling the viewer how Twitter and social media had gone into meltdown. Why would this matter to the majority of their viewers who have no interest in it and are only their to watch the game?

All about the clicks and outrage culture that now presides.

I love that thread. They talk about how our performances are glorified more than theirs. How we get all the decisions our way. That teams try harder against them than us.

Are they victims of their own success or victims of ours?

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

He liked the last post in the conversation, so it is whatat an end for me lol

Don't count your chickens.
And don't watch City away on tv if you dont like what they say about City.:)
And don't read the papers either.
And if you're in a pub with some clunt unfairly running down the Blues, you should leave straightaway.;)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

The general narrative in the media appears to be we were very lucky , admittedly on the odd occasion a team that wins the title of a 38 game season will get an undeserved result , hold our hands up guilty as charged.
But if that had been the Dippers or Chelski it would have been how they managed the game and how Klippety and Tuchel were master tacticians and their ruthlessness , where as we are reported as a team that influences officials and are lucky.
None of the media have taken tinto consideration the amount of games we have played compared to opposing teams and the injutries/COVID we are suffering , we produced a tired performance but we got the basics right and played with tenacity and spirit and dug deep and that is why we will win four of the last five league titles
Our spirit and determination cannot be bought that is something a world class manager builds , money gives you the opportuniity it doesnt guarantee anything................... ask any Rag.
Fuck off Jake Humphreys you are not an expert you have never played the game or being a "Norwich" fan begin to understand what it takes to win a title , your just a well paid wordsmith using your very limited knowledge but without the ability to see the whole picture because of your industries agenda , you complete bellend.

I'm surprised they didn't keep them on a retainer.

 

[Groke]

Had iptv over a year now never miss a game and I’m either there or at home but sky and bt don’t get a penny from me! Get it done blue you won’t regret it!

Likewise. I can afford to pay for sky and BT legitimately, but absolutely refuse to contribute to either of them because of their pro-red shite/ anti-city stances

Jake the Snake is a product of this technological age where a quick visit to the gents has to have some kind of electronic coverage.

I wonder why they don't offer Stadium FX as an option? Could it be that the pro-scarlet, anti-blue bias would still be queuing at a turnstile.

 

[Blue and true]

Everyone needs to chill regarding this. It boils down to one thing and one thing only: jealousy; pure, unadulterated jealousy. Fuelled by red sad acts flooding social media with said jealousy. We live an age where argument and debate (stripped of all nuance) is dictated by social media. Sad but true. I've said this before lads, the day we stop receiving bile, start to worry; because we'll be total garbage.

The funniest thing is this notion that "we don't what City do, City can win what they want and I just brush it off," well you wouldn't think it given the amount of emotional energy they invest in us! Drink it in lads, drink it in.

 

[PistonBlue]

Have to say, I’m thoroughly enjoying the saltiness coming from all angles. BT was appalling yesterday but it felt good to see the hurt, Jake Humphreys was practically in tears after the game and Keown was pretty much incoherent throughout - even Mcmanaman had to reign him in at points when Keown was demanding yellow cards for City players.
In contrast, MOTD had it spot on.

No agenda though. Disgraceful headline. But the sheep lap it up. We werent at our best yesterday but had 70% possession and more than twice as many shots at goal and Sky produce that pile off tripe
