Must say, I haven't minded Souness this season and I didn't mind him on Sunday. I have absolutely no problem with an ex-dipper who sticks up for the dippers, same as I love it when Buzzer and Franny Lee have defended us on derby day on Sky in the past. Nor do I have a problem when Chuckle says, as a pundit, 'I'm a United fan, I don't want City to do well'. (In fact, I quite enjoy it, and replay his analysis of the 6-1 for a bit of light relief.)
I do have a problem when Aguero goes down without being really fouled and Martin Tyler tuts over it, but Suarez goes doen without being touched and not a word is said. (And it happened time and time again, so it's not as though he missed a one-off.) I do notice it when Martin Tyler jizzes his pants at Liverpool's first corner, given that the enthusiasm he showed at City's third corner was a bit we have just got a throw in in the left back area. And I do have a problem when Alan Smith can't find a good word to say for us in 90 minutes of commentary. (Or the last time he commentated on us. Or the time before. Funny, that.)
We have had some undeserved stick from Souness in the past, but I think that he probably watches us a lot more now than he has done previously. And this season, Souness generally has been pretty fair , has praised us when we have merited it (which is usually) and has called us when - rarely - we have been poor.
Which is as much as you can really ask for from a pundit.
