Ferdinand on BT Sport

[Bilboblue]

Lee was a blue from birth and begged to join City when Bond kicked him out of Burnley. His dad was an ex City keeper but they still wouldn't take him. He was picked up by Chester, then Stoke and finally Arsenal. He never forgave us for turning him down.

Fucking diddums.

Enlightening.

To be fair when we manage to get ex blues (sinclair apart) thwy usually slate us too

Not if you have real blues like Gary Owen , Mike Summerbee , or Paul Lake .
I grant you the likes of Andy Hinchcliffe , Robbie Fowler and Danny Mills aren't real blues .

But the European Football Show with James Richardson offers far fairer, knowledgeable and totally unbiased coverage. Why can't we have that here?

Because they aren't ex-footballers on the European football show, so cannot criticise English football as they wouldn't be able to beat them in game of 5 a side. You just have to look at the way John Terry responded to Savage criticising his play to see that they'd never get away with having non-ex pros as pundits. Apparently it's more important that they used to be good at football than they actually are good as pundits

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Two stonewall pens, David and Fernandinho respectively, and fucking Robbie Savage says they're not fouls or David's gone down too easily while watching several replays showing them being clearly brought down without a touch anywhere near the ball.

Fucking joke.

Not sure either were penalties to be fair. At least the referee didn't 'guess', unlike Clattenberg.

The thing is about these guys is that it's all window dressing by the people stupid enough to put them on there.
Noone remembers anything they say apart from when they say something monumentally stupid such as Michael Owen's classic "when City don't score they don't win."

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

We need more ex City players being pundits .
When that will happen who knows .

No we don't. We just need objective people who are able to give us some insight into things we don't know. Sadly the formula appears to be ex footballers and most ex footballers are not all that smart.
Personally, watching Wio tonight was priceless. He looked like he wanted to walk out. He'd just seen a performance that once again demonstrated how far his team have fallen behind us. Get him on every week, I say.

We should be revelling in the rag/dippers pundits bitterness , they are hurting , every negative comment is a victory , when Pep arrives , we will got to another level , watch them squirm then

Enlightening.

His dad Roy never made the City first team and left in 1969 for the meat trade and finally became a millionaire sausage manufacturer living in Styal. Strangely our history section doesn't record him as a player - Gary please note!!

Right so someone like Paul Lake wouldn't be a good pundit ?
Listening to Paul on radio Manchester,he doesn't tell you the obvious like an Owen or a Shearer .
And he backs his answers up intelligently
