Very true. I've never understood what we did to deserve the shit we get from Quinn. Something must have happened. I get it with Mills but Quinn was always well liked from what I remember. Spot on with Hamman. I does make me smile when the BBC introduce him as ex-City, dipper through and through.Never seen a performance from him that justified letting him wear the shirt and we were fucking shite then.
Lennon, Sinclair, Lamps, Joleon, Given, Adebayor, Vieira, Buzzer, Uwe, Hinchy, Sweep, Distin, Wanchope, Mack, Barton all been complimentary to us when they've been on a tv game or motd. It is a bias thing. Quinn trying too hard, Hamman is a fucking cockroach and never an ex blue anyway, Dixon more arse than blue, he's complimentary when he doesn't feel Arse are a threat to us. Souness the same but Liverpool, Schmeichel but rags.
I'm sure he would be very good talking about all aspects of football, whoever were playing, because he's an intelligent bloke, NOT because he played for City.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
No history hey ! You don't hear Lineker mention this, manure this, manure that !!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!!

Suppose it's like saying why isn't a Socialist presenting Newsnight !!Why isn't Lakey on tv he'd be great for us
I used to like Richardson when he did Italian football on channel 4But the European Football Show with James Richardson offers far fairer, knowledgeable and totally unbiased coverage. Why can't we have that here?
Like you, I'm usually not really arsed about pundits and aware that a fair amount of bias is in people's minds.Not usually a pundit basher me, but this guy was a fucking disgrace. There's literally no point at all in having a pundit who cannot objectively analyse things.
BT's Champions League coverage by the way is the absolutely laughing stock of the TV industry because people will literally watch anything else other than it, to the point where they were talking it UEFA getting pissed that they're devaluing the English package as a whole.
With twats like this on ther you can see why.
Can you send me a copy Dave, I want it framed ;)Like you, I'm usually not really arsed about pundits and aware that a fair amount of bias is in people's minds.
But that opening section tonight was a disgrace. An utter disgrace and I'm sending a complaint letter. Ferdinand talked exactly like some loudmouth pub red who can't bring himself to see any good in any rival.
Even at half time, when we'd given a world class performance, his FIRST comment, or was it a sneer, was something about Kiev being still on the beach.
I've never detested a footballer more than that cocky prick. He is the absolute epitome of Man United.
