I honestly think Micah has had it drummed in to him that he simply can't show any bias towards City, if he does he's on his way. Look at Neville, Carragher, Keane etc, as biased as they come , Micah needs to grow some bloody balls and fight our corner

Had the misfortune of listening to the Liverpool/ arsenal game on 5 live in the car. My god, it was actually unbelievable how badly they wanted the dippers to win, it was pathetic. At one point when Arsenal were winning 2-1, Dion Dublin genuinely said something along the lines of 'its pretty much even now because of the anfield crowd' .
Vomit inducing.
Sometimes my Mrs tells me the media bias is all in my head too!

Didn't hear that bit. Got home on 75 mins, but they referred to him as that on comms. Aswell of course as 'trent' and 'bobby'

Sky have already been left behind. City are the fastest growing fan base in the USA and Sky have missed the boat.

They are stuck in a time warp. City's popularity has steadily increased over time, but Haaland has made it rocket to new and unprecedented levels. He really has been a game-changer in more ways than one.

My neighbour for the past 31 years is an Everton fan and so are both his sons. They're a big Everton family. I saw them walking down the road this afternoon and one of his grandsons was wearing the City away shirt with 'Haaland 9' on the back. We will be huge amongst the next generation coming through, regardless of parental affiliations with other clubs. It is ripe for an up-and-coming broadcaster to tap into this and make their rise coincide with the rise of City.

Sky is an establishment mouthpiece in its death throes. It is living off a reputation no longer deserved and because of its PL board representation. One of the rumours to come out of the City/PL investigation is that Sky's monopoly is to be examined. It can't come soon enough.

Keane is more critical of United than anyone, wouldn't class him with the rest.
Not sure is he playing to the cameras or just trying to act the hard man but doesn't come across as sticking up for United.

Love Ian Wright’s passion but that paid for analysis (“we” “us”) is grating

For years watching our games on various TV channels, we've had to put up with pundits drawn from the usual suspects.. United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea. And we've always had to put up with their partiality; sometimes their indifference; sometimes their hostility.

In recent years we have seen an increase in former Blues brought in to do the analyst's role but in the main we still get 'the usual suspects' most of the time.

What bugs me about Ian Wright's recent involvement in MOTD analyses of games involving Arsenal is his continual use of 'We/Us/Our' when putting his two penn'orth in.

The people at MOTD really should sort it out. Wright may be 'passionate' about his old club, I get that. But he should be professional in the role he's now in and control the 'We/Us/Our' claptrap.
