Yes that was extremely rude and discourteous, typical of that shit house of a club.
He conducted the whole interview barely looking at the camera, but with his stupid cap on full show.
I am forever gratefully to my late father for taking me along to my first City game in the 1950's, it was love at first sight.

He actually gave a very honest and humble interview.

The rent boy looked close to tears both during the game and in his interview afterwards.

I thought they might have at least invited screech into the studio for his unbiased and level views.
If you haven't seen Jamie Jackson's comments yet, read this. Genuinely makes you laugh. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ter-united-city-premier-league-player-ratings
They are turning on De Gea. Man Utd are in self-destruct mode. Imagine them without De Gea, and I find it highly unlikely he will extend his contract now.
Back to the topic in question. I have no problem at all in journalists being football fans and wearing their colours on their sleeves but you can not let it affect your judgement. Most people on here would do a better job. Simply embarrassing.

At one point he was stood up looking backwards up at Slur Alec. The guy really is fucking clueless!
I don't like the idea of them getting a decent keeper.

Danilo got a six. Was he our best defender? I think you get a five for turning up and then points added or taken away depending on what you do.

It was a reference to Jackson. But I am guessing you know that ? ;-)
To be fair - many of our own are doing just this in the pre-Burnley thread !

In fairness to Sky, at least they had the decency to mention that the rags' squad cost only marginally less than ours.
What they failed to mention, however, is how much those squads are now worth. It's something that us rarely, if ever, mentioned. Most of our players are now worth more than we paid for them.

English punditry has done my head in for a long time, the myopia is insufferable. Goals from aesthetically attractive footballing sides are routinely dissected from a defensive perspective on the errors that didn't directly result in the goal but somehow becomes the focus rather than the beauty of the goal or play. It's a bit glass is half empty sort of logic really. In their world, apparently, every goal is an error or they only give merit to goals from a physical or counterattacking side. Much of last night's post match analyses was focused on the gulf in class but particularly on the 'errors' that led to goal rather than the team & play that manufactured passages of play that facilitated scoring chances.
Decidedly very little credit for the football from City much less the sheer dominance to be in a shout for every title at the business end of each season. The narrative tells you a lot about how out of touch English football remains in spite of the Pep revolution.

I think all of our remaining games are going to be tough. A lot of pressure with no margin for error unless the dippers drop points.

Its amazes me, I would rather be in City's position than Liverpools position. People forgetting that Liverpool have Barca away then Newc away as well as Wolves who are great against attacking teams...

I don’t think it does. The pundits who comment on the games - Shearer, Giggs, Keane, Souness, all had their heyday in the 90s or before. Even Neville has been out of the game for getting on for 10 years. I agree they are out of touch, but they are history themselves.
When you look at how a lot of teams have started to play, the Pep effect is clear to see. I was interested to see how closely Spurs mirrored our tactics over three games - short goal kicks, playing out from the back, pressing etc. English football has moved on, and it is no surprise there were four English teams in the last 8 of the champions league. The pundits may be stuck in the past, but the game on the pitch has overtaken Germany and Spain.
The magnitude of the task he faces is starting to sink in. It is one thing breezing in and lifting a depressed dressing room after moan a lot, but another then sorting out all the toxic ego's and getting them playing once that wears off.
