Micah Richards the pundit

I don’t care who he supports, but his analysis is atrocious - someone else is clearly preparing it for him but still he doesn’t get it.
Joe Hart has been fantastic when on. He might support Shrewsbury for all I know but when he talks it’s worth listening too, unlike Micah.
Joe Hart also grew up an Arsenal fan.
 
He's one of the worst pundits on television (quite the achievement) and he nicely fills the "City representation" slot despite a) not caring about City and b) having absolutely no insight whatsoever.

Other "top" clubs have unashamed cheerleaders covering their games, which I don't want either. I'd rather have knowledgeable, professional pundits with genuine empathy for City, and we know they're out there.
Dont even need empathy, just be impartial and analytical. If we play shit say so and tell me why you think so. But when we play well, highlight it and praise the performance/tactics etc..

Too many pros seemingly have no fucking idea about football tactics, its absolutely baffling. How can you play under some great managers and not have a clue? I think its time to move to a hybrid of a pro who can present their experiences from having been in those conditions/scenarios and a coach who knows tactics. Hire some ex coaches, christ there's even some decent youbtube resources who run channels that understand the game.

We need to get away from this Bantz shit and the gloating and cheerleading we currently get. Its sickening unless youre a rag/dipper/arse

We are in the peak of media companies playing to their largest audience which is mainly abroad, keep blowing smoke up the cartels arse and employ useful idiots to take the coin and push the worn out myth.
 
He has no football brain, so it’s impossible for him to be a “pundit.” He has almost zero analytical skills, little to no technical knowledge, and has made a career on TV out of being a clown with an apparently infectious laugh. I find him a vacuous clown, but to each their own.

As he said when asked, in private he’s a Gooner, but for the sake of TV, he’s a City fan! Whatever! I don’t care who he supports, only that he spoils my enjoyment of football on TV, so I simply cannot watch him and Spitter on the Champions League coverage over here on Paramount Plus.

It’s too bad NBC didn’t want to rule Soccer in the States and grab the CL from CBS, because their coverage is designed for social media snippets and clicks. Even Thierry Henry, whom I like as an analyst, comes across as a smug **** with a punchable face on there. And, much as she does a decent job hosting, I can’t personally stand Kate Abdo (whose new married name I can’t remember!), who plays to it all and is a die-hard Rag!
