I've called time?

ELEVENTH!!! season of Premier League coverage done and I’ve called time on three years at Sky​


I’ll still be doing bits and bobs for them but I’m genuinely soooo excited to share all the things I’ll be working on soon, which will allow me to focus on my strengths and passions

For those that have BEEN asking for the past five years () YES - that will include new books

After the first press conference I covered in England all those years back, a journalist turned to the press officer and said “why are you letting them come over here and take our jobs. You just want a little lick don’t you?!”

I would love to be able to say that things have changed in that regard, but alas… the abuse as a foreign woman of colour in this sphere never ceases. I will always be stronger than the hate; I know who I am, I know the substance of my work.

You can’t dim the light of someone who learned how to shine in the dark ✨✨✨

The messages I’ve received from managers, players, club staff, my Sky and wider industry colleagues - people who know me, my journey and sacrifices over the past decade - carry more weight than any of the nasty noise.

Christ, what a pile of crap. 'You can't dim the light of someone who learned how to shine in the dark'......FFS, what a tube.

Think she has a major problem of her own. If racism was so vicious to her how did she get so high in her profession ?
Every person in this country has had fall backs and people they can't get along with. But we don't put it down to racial hate. Has she thought for one minute that maybe she's just not a likeable person ?
Does she know Einstein was rejected by scientists at one time ?

Given Einstein was rejected by some scientists because he was Jewish, I’m not sure you have helped your argument.

Good fucking riddance, biased hateful bitch.

'Presenter' (under sarcastic air quotes).

'Senior Sports Reporter' I'll have you know.

I know this for a fact because they never once showed her without including her title. Must have been in her contract to try and give her some sort of gravitas. Shame that went straight out of the window as soon as she opened her mouth.

I always, without fail, switched channels when she was on, her voice just grated.

Another Dolphin in the wild can't be a bad thing, however the wild Dolphins may not take to her.
 
I notice in the Amad Dildo story about him flicking the finger to the fans in Kuala Lumpur, the excuse is already in most of the headlines?
I guess the media would obviously do the same if it was a City player doing a similar thing?.......................

Her bitchy bias grated even more.

Will never forget her sarcastically putting innocent under mocking air quotes when discussing the CAS verdict.

"Manchester City with the 115 charges they have done"

What have City done?

Not even picked up by the presenters

He said “we paid no attention to City with 115 charges and what they had done.” Wasn’t his tenure at LFC during the period when his club was hacking our Scouting data network? They were also relentlessly giving toxic briefings about City to the media, even including the US press.

I wasn't using Einstein as being Jewish, I used his name as being the greatest genius in history being rejected. So given this woman had got so far up the ladder and not really that good in her profession, how did she get so far up this ladder ? Then, uses racism as the reason she got the bullet.

So, she's complaining about the abuse of 'foreign women of colour' in the industry but continuing to do 'bits and bobs' for Sky?

Weird.
