BT Sport commentary v Arsenal (A)

After we beat Madrid in the Bernabeu a couple of seasons ago, someone posted a compilation of McManaman’s co-commentary lowlights as he blatantly willed us to get beat. Think it might have been from Twitter? Would love to hear it again.
BT openly despise us, from day one. Told them why when I was finally able to cancel my broadband and TV contract and the ‘retention officer’ woman from the north east who called me to try and change my mind said I wasn’t the first to do so

The free audio commentary on the clubs official site is usually very good. It's obviously from a City perspective, but it's fair and calls it as it happens. No bullshit.

It might be a few seconds behind the TV pictures, but I'd rather that than the absolute tripe dished out by BT/SKY.

Agree with this, though I find reception can be a bit 'variable' when I listen on my mobile or laptop (ie: totally cuts out sometimes).
It is from a City perspective as you say but is generally pretty balanced and objective (also get a few ex blues Co commentating, The Goat, Paul Lake, Michael Brown etc..)
Don't necessarily want to listen to the commentators/presenters 'gushing' over us as in truth,this which would probably just come across as contrived after all the sly digs directed at us. Like most people though when I listen to supposed 'impartial' reporting/commentary I don't want to be constantly thinking about when the next barbed comment is coming about 'Empty seats, buying success, FFP, no history, etc..etc..

He’s definitely a Forest fan. My ex-wife used to be his boss at Century Radio in Nottingham and he does quite a bit of stuff with Dave and Les at the Southbank, who I’ve known for nearly 30 years.

He used to do his show from there I remember on occasions IIRC?

Keown was annoying tbf. Sky/BT have been shocking for some time now. It just makes it more satisfying when we win. I honestly couldn’t wait to see the look on camel gobs face at the final whistle. Fantastic result. Up the mighty blues.

Completely agree, they were that busy pissing and moaning over the Bernardo penalty that they complete forgot to tell us why Gabriel had been sent off. The camerawork at that point was terrible too.

I wasn't even aware he got booked for scuffing the penalty spot until they showed the incident after he'd already been sent off!

Spot onMCFC1993,I haven’t even see the scuffing of the penalty spot yet,and didn’t even know he had been booked for that,they lost the plot the cnuts and showed themselves up,obviously we are all biased towards are own team I can understand keown backing Arsenal but he just completely lost it the whole thing was a shambles,and just as bad after with that smarmy prick Humphreys..

He did. It’s called the Riverside now. And he’s hosted a few ‘Evenings with’ at the one on Friar Lane in town.

Those two are brilliant operators. Got so much time for them.
