BT Sport Commentary...

[MillionMilesAway]

At least Savage sounds animated and tends to have a point to what he screeches about. He'll also say something's good when it is.

Mills, Fletcher, Provan just moan.

I agree about Nevin - he's usually straight-talking.

Mills was disgraceful last night and seemed hell bent on shit stirring about Kompany not playing and making a drama out of it. Any given chance to have a dig and he grabs it, then milks the fuck out of it. As the co-commentator, ex pro type person, he should talk about the action and keep his moaning to himself. We talk a lot on this forum about agendas, this bloke clearly has one. I was willing a blue at home to text someone in the crowd about how much of a **** he was being and a chant to go up, a la 'Elton Welsby is a wanker' from the 80s

Not usually one to moan about the commentary but my goodness last night it was an embarrassment.

4 Goals in the PL in the 8 games Sterling played in PL is supposedly a bad return.

Our best defender on the night in Mangala was getting slated all night for nothing.
They even suggested Kompany's career at City has come to an end...

Just so so negative about everything. Like they honestly just expected us to blow Sevilla away.. They're a fantastic side in Europe & we're missing 3 of our spine from the team, we did well to win!

Still amazes me that "football people" don't see how Silva is our best player, only current PL managers see it as they are the ones who have to try & deal with him. All night it was "Aguero is being missed" with Silva not as important. As soon as Martinez came on to talk he immediately pointed out that Silva was the player we miss most.

We should be looking for a new sponsorship for BT square & not associate withe these fuckers.

 

[moomba]

In the first 3 minutes in they'd brought up Kompany, money, Pellegrini's losing record against Seville, 442 doesnt work.

They made much more sense after pressing the mute button.

Yeah thats what i also find strange about this, if we have such close ties with them, why dont they tell their commentators to back down a little bit on the criticisms?!!

Due to this not being on my local channel of Beinsports as they have the PSG on one and United on the other... I had to stream BT sports.

I am so glad that normally I dont have to put up with this, Danny Mills all the way through the game was negative. Every ball and every things we did was countered with something that went wrong.. even said to my friend - half the team must have shagged his other half the way he talks about us.

The classic one however was about Sterling was something like this "Sterling has not done much in this game and for city in the premier league, yes he score 3 goals at the weekend and other goals in the league playing well but he has done nothing since signing"... yes 3 goals is nothing now..

"City use their financial muscle to gag commentators. BT Sports who sponsor City Square tell their commentators to tone down criticisms of City after pressure from bosses at the PL club amid reports that City may be looking for new City Square sponsors. What price free speech in today's money fuelled Premier League?" etc etc for like ever.

The alternative is Danny Mills being a twat for 90 minutes.

You choose.

Lost count of the number of times that Mrs Mills said that the jury is out on Mangala.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

First time for ages I watched an English stream, normally I find a foreign one, much easier on the ear.

Didn't listern to the pre/post match but during the game Darke and Mills were awful.

Dark was wishing bookings on us, stating Zaba had lost his place to Sagna (obviously no prep on the game), how the Ukrainian winger should have gone to the dippers and couldn't stop going on about Seville beating barca.

Mills managed to show he has no knowledge at all, every decision he called real time he got wrong, still at least he didn't get the Fern's mixed up.

Both if them from their tone wanted Seville to win whether that was for the 'story' or not only they know.

One thing was for certain that sort of commentary never happens to any other British team in Europe.
