She looks likes she borrowed her Nans clothes as well, maybe they dragged her out of bed last minute, BBC quotas and all that.

MOTD deciding to put a 6 goal win by the current champions right down the pecking order

To be fair, we were the last game and there were some fairly decent other games, with a few shocks. The fact that they have given us half the time as the rest, that’s my issue.

I'm sorry, Tony Book only won the league cup in a time when City won little else? MOTD get in the bin.

MotD “Tony Book won the league cup with city at a time they won very little…”

They just can’t help themselves,think that was Guy Mowbray who is usually alright ..

Steve Wilson I think.

The Welsh black guy who played for Everton must be the dullest of them all. How did he get the gig without any insight or charisma?

Just heard that! Who was the commentator?

 

[ultimateharold]

I pop on the VPN to watch match of the day just because. Here in Poland it's the equivalent of 11 quid to get every prem game legally, and the analysis is so much better. There aren't ex pros, just dudes in a studio speaking a language I barely understand, but it works so much more.

Liverpool fan Steve Wilson.

Pathetic

The 1976 League Cup was the only trophy won when Swales was chairman.

The statement was fair in context talking about Book's spell as manager rather than as a player. Even if the wording was rather clumsy.

There are too many oversensitive souls on here looking to leap on any minor slip of the tongue.

Became the first to win it as a player and a manager also finished a close second to Wilson’s beloved red scouse bastards

Piss off.

The BBC’s coverage of Book’s passing has been absolutely horrific. It only made the main BBC football page after numerous complaints.

City were also one of the top sides of the late 60’s and 70’s and were challenging even when not winning trophies. You’d think City were some little underdog scraping a league cup listening to that commentary.

Not covering what Book had won at City overall is just the usual sly reporting style that many have come to expect from the BBC when reporting on City. Hide the positives and bring forward any negatives.

It was a pointless remark only intending to besmirch and be nasty.
Book was a fine player, manager and ambassador for the club, that commentator should be thoroughly ashamed for that comment but won't be because he works for the BBC where trashing Manchester City is encouraged.
