Hugh Ferris/Match day presenters

[Ric]

Never really understand why people get too bothered about Hugh Ferris, or Fanzone Danny, Natalie Pike or Mike McLean. I generally avoid the pre-match and half-time entertainment. Easiest enough to do if it's not for you.

Sorry, but the mere mention of Natalie Pike gets me all hot and bothered.

I need a cold shower now.

never seen Danny & Natalie look so pissed after a result. Said it all.

Honestly stopped caring about the entertainment. Seems like the same thing every other week. Paul Dickov interview, Mike Summerbee on the pitch for literally no reason and some weird irrelevant game.

It all just sounds like one of those high pitch screeching devices designed to keep youths out of areas with shops etc.

this I'm sure they'd be plenty of volunteers to escort him out

Shouldn't Showsec be doing this if he's persistently standing up and mouthing obscenities like "R****y and C******n?

Was inside at ht today, but a couple of games ago he was giddy about a late raggy goal.

He should be binned if the club want a family stand entertainer we should employ a CBBC presenter instead of him.

Fuck sake

At half time he congratulated Rooney on becoming the rags record scorer, overtaking Bobby Charlton.

Unbelievable.

A sackable offence on its own. Why anyone at city would want to hear that shite is beyond me. It's like one of his mates dared him to do it.

He did mention it ,f**kin c**t,why would anyone there be arsed about that c**t,yes still seething lol.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Didn't hear the Rooney praise as I was underneath, but if true, disgrace.

All he said was that rooney had equalised in the last minute, and hat he had broken the record. He didnt praise him at all.

I don't think Ferris is as bad as some other do (although I couldn't stand his children's TV style bouncy persona when he first started). At least he can read his script well and conduct a semi professional interview. Danny and Natalie are far more cringe worthy imo. No real presenting skills and listening to them interview each other on how they think the match will go (who cares what they think) or one of them imploring the crowd to start a chant are some of the most cringeworthy things I've seen at City (Chinese New Year Dancing was up there with it yesterday though).#

However, Ferris' mentioning of that fat bastard and "Sir Bobby Charlton" yesterday is a sackable offence.

He shouldn't have mentioned it.

We wouldn't be told if Calum Wilson had beaten Bournmouths scoring record, so we don't want updates on this idiots' achievements inserted at any opportunity (especially when they are given the sort of coverage usually reserved for a moon landing in all of the media.

We always have CNY celebrations, Manchester has a massive Chinese population, and tbh, those kids were really talented. Far better than anything Ferris has ever done.

Must have been a good performance yesterday if we are looking at this for our moans. Not fussed either way he's a matchday presenter, no big deal. Its not that easy to please all the fans at a game, children, day trippers, old, young, regular match goers who see the same same stuff every week. Whoever does it will upset some. Wasnt there though so may have a point with the Rooney stuff.

Goes in my gym with a Beckham 7 top on, so expect nothing less.
Actually his professional acting ability is to be admired.

Drop a weight on his head by accident of course

 

[Aguero_Element]

fucking hate the dickhead. City need to fuck him off and the announcer, the announcer for our games just kills the atmosphere, he makes it all about him. city just take the piss, its literally like going to a club run by united fans

It might be impressive (if I was closer I might have appreciated the skill involved). But half time at a football match is not the place to celebrate worldwide (or even UK) cultural events. No-one is interested, especially when everyone realises that it is a cynical attempt to appeal to a merchandise buying market half way around the world. It certainly hasn't been chosen because someone is of the honest belief that the people in the stadium would really like to see a festival of dance at half time.

No-one is really interested in the stupid games or the football based guests that they have on at half time either - but at least they stand a better chance of being of interest to some, given they are somewhat related to the reason that everyone is there or actually involve members of the crowd.

I don't recall half time celebrations for Chinese New Year in the past but I'll take your word for it.
