I was only saying the other day, I'll tell you what I'd like to see more of. Some random nobheads chosen from the crowd, giving their well researched, reasoned and totally unbiased carefully considered views on what the final score will be.
Now, I don't want to hear any thoughtful stuff, I don't want any of that thoughtful stuff, I just want a parade of gurning idiots who are so desperate to get on 'TV' that they will quite willingly conform to the 'you are expected to always 'predict' a success for City regardless of the circumstances' mantra.
That is what we are all dying to see.
But if we must have something masquerading as post-Primary School conversation shown on there, can we make sure that it is delivered by some mad bloke nobody has heard of who drones on and on for five minutes, telling us 1,000 times that "that's what's going to happen when you've got the quality of Balotelli" and repeating the same things over and over again so that you can tune out for 2 minutes and come back to virtually the same sentence. Oh, and make sure that there is no credit whatsoever given to the opposition. Make it as close to a Communist Party Broadcast as possible, you know, just in case there is anyone in the ground thinking of having an independent thought on the game.
If we can get it all presented by a CBBC presenter who has overdosed on Harribo too, that would be great.
And a few more mentions for the American-esque firing of t-shirts into the crowd. We all love that and we all want to see more of it.
Just when you thought that Vince Miller had plumbed the depths, singing us down with Blue Moon, the current 'entertainment' pops up.
Don't mind some of the clips, but some, like the Poznan ones are cringeworthy, snippets of interviews with idiots. No-one wants to hear a random fan saying "it's great" about anything - even if they are talking about the best thing in the world ever. It is pointless.
PS: don't like this Ferris bloke getting in my face at every opportunity, thinking he is hosting a Mancunian version of Blue Peter. He can feck off and take the format with him, for me. However, I thought he did very well at the recent fan's forum and that changed my opinion of him somewhat. Can't stand him on a match day but showed a better side that night imo and performed well (well, as well as a bloke passing a microphone around can anyway).
Make a multimillion pound bid for the Anfield announcer. Never shows his face, just reads the odd score and bit of info out. And best of all, he is a right miserable fucker. No jumping about from him. No excitment. he sounds like he is minutes away from topping himself, even when they are winning. That's what we want. A miserable bastard reading out scores and a bit of info, then stick some music on and shut the feck up.
Those stats and (wrong) formations too - shite.
