Media discussion - 2025/26

[SatOnTheWall]

I don't know what it's like watching games at the stadium these days - I imagine dreadful - but it's really terrible watching at home: I can't hear the pre-game discussions, then I have to watch the match with the volume turned down so I don't have to listen to idiot and biased commentary, a cup of tea and something to eat at half-time to avoid more ill-informed banality, volume turned down again for the second half and then everything switched off the moment the game finishes.

For me, it's like the pleasure has gone out of the game. Maybe the younger folks like this sort of "enjoyment" but for me it's a dispiriting experience these days, irrespective of performance on the pitch.

I often put a bit of music on. It helps me relax.

The guy on NBC sports said he was gutted when our 5th went in as it ended the game as a contest. Then jizzed his pants every time Fulham crossed the half way line. They would never say that about any other club

I'm the same.
I swerve pre and post match as it's just red cartel ego massaging.
Last night was a new low for sky sports and their "neutral" commentators.
I thought that bellend doing our game had come in his pants at one point, the excitement from him was embarrassing.
But they are all for the red shirts. Fuck em I say.

Premier League considers 2026 Summer Series in Asia

Clubs have been ask for their views on a pre-season tournament next summer, with Hong Kong and Chinese city of Shenzhen potential hosts.

Does Slimey get a bung every time he shoehorns the rags into an meaningless article about pre season friendly tournaments?

 

[paulchapo]

I said same at least twice before. He is a nobody. And he looks like he needs a damn good hosing down, he just looks 'smelly ' to me! ( female POV ).

I looked up his career and stats. Its appalling. How he is considered good enough to be a pundit criticising others is beyond belief. Here it is.

In a carrer that spanned just over 20 years, Billy big bollocks played for 12 clubs and scored a grand total.of....wait for it......153 goals....153!!! You couldn't make it up. Absolutely dross as a footballer and even worse as a pundit. Get rid sky!

Not sure, but he does get free travel and accommodation to all their pre-season games, when the BBC only send some Rag intern to cover our pre-season.

A jolly to Hong Kong/China

Nice work if you can get it.

Might even get another free watch.

Some Bluemooners have the TV volume turned down while they listen to the live commentary on the City website.

[lefty goldblatt]

Jay fucking Boothroyd.....in what universe did sky think employing this absolute cretin to comment on football games was a good idea? A bang average footballer and an even worse pundit.

He played for QPR in the Aguerooooo game

Must be a closet rag, to hate us so much.....

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Even Mrs Gouldybobs brought up the commentators response to Liverpool scoring. She asked "is he allowed to do that? He clearly supports them". She didn't even mean spit the dog it was the other gimp

True but he's not far behind.

Think he was in an Arsenal youth team years back, so clearly another well-balanced "expert"...

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not even getting into a debate with anyone who starts dropping length of tenure as a reason for thinking they're right.

Even if it’s over 8 inches?

He is a thick anti city prick. I do laugh at him when he spouts his total lack of knowledge about football.
Really is one of the worst so called pundits. His hatred toward us is clear for unknown reasons other than his paymasters agenda. A **** of the highest order

Are there any new lows that Sky and their pudits won't stoop to ?

The rags/dippers are the only teams they are interested in due to the volume of fuckwits who are " supporters " of them.

Know your audience and stick two fingers up to integrity !
