Ian Wright

I don't class him as either. Too young to appreciate his heyday, don't care enough to take any notice of him now.

I respect that he made a good life for himself after being treated abominably by his father as a child.
 
He’s a real enigma. Talented player, worked very hard to carve out a career but, some of his behaviour on the pitch was vile - I think he acknowledges that now himself. As a pundit he can be ever so childish, another one who just can’t be objective - he’s Arsenal through and through. Pity Swales fucked it up when Peter Reid was close to signing him.
 
Conflicted on this one. Pull up a chair….

A good while back I worked for a company that sub-let some office space attached to Taylormade’s (big golf brand) UK headquarters and warehouse in Basingstoke. They also had a workshop where they’d customise clubs for pros and celeb clients. Sometimes a young Justin Rose would pop in to our office to chat with our office manager as they were family friends.

Wright is a massive golf addict and used Taylormade equipment, so we’d see him a couple of times a year as he tried to “buy the game” with a new set of clubs. I’d like to say he was an arsehole, but honestly he wasn’t. Treated everyone politely, didn’t act like billy big bollocks and generally came across as a decent human being. He’s certainly not brain of Britain but I think we’ve all worked that one out. I guess he’s just a Tarquin and nothings going to change that.

The MotD “analysis“ last night was a joke. Our first pen was an odd one but unintentional but serious contact in the box has been given a couple of times this season already, so chalk it up to consistency at least.

The Havertz penalty. After he’d knocked the ball on too far past the keeper he knew he’d fucked up so dragged his back leg along the turf until he made contact with the arm. It wasn’t just simulation, it was shit simulation.

It’s extremely hard, if not impossible for me to dislike him after watching that documentary.

Always thought his reaction here was very genuine. My background isn't comparable to his but anyone that had an influential teacher would get this. There is only one teacher I would greet with this respect if I met them again.

Yeah, it wasn’t just that part, which was really moving; I found the candour with which he referred to his childhood and his late entry into professional football really endearing.

He's just not very intelligent.
However he's
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, compared to Micah Richards.

And Neville, Shearer, Keown, Merson are towering intellectuals who always say nice things about us?

I cannot understand this modern obsession with commentators and picking on certain ones, Joey Barton style (there’s a real twat for you). Call me old fashioned but I am watching the game for City, not for what the guys paid to fill airtime in between say. That said I don’t have the first clue about what Ian Wright did that was so bad it deserved digging up a 14 year old thread because I was at the match yesterday cheering on the Blues.
 
Like most Tarquins fans he and other fans can't quite believe they are have the season of their lives in the league and yet they are probably not going to win the league. They are turning in to scousers.

Oh and Wright is also a bitter ****
 
I think he's a lovely bloke. He's just like any other Arsenal fan though and biased against us which is fair cos we are biased against them. Once no one is a **** about it or spitting in prople's faces then all is good.
