Yeah I saw that, he was like a stuck record claiming no bias but couldn't back this up with any facts whilst plenty were posting clear examples of bias.
Darke should stick to commentating on boxing as he clearly knows fuck all about football.

He cited one example as proof of his non-bias... I pointed out to him that it was the ONLY match he could use, as the rest were shockingly biased

Not really sure. I lost one after about half an hour. That might have been BT as they were pushing future matches including Tuesday. Second might have been NBC but neither was usual irritating stuff. One had 'Discovery' in bottom left corner so l don't know anything for sure. The perils of using the lucky dip on Sportek but didn't miss anything of interest.

There's definitely an element of playing to an audience or deliberately trying to be controversial with some of their antics which is fine for shows like Soccer AM but I would suggest that the majority of viewers want to hear objective commentary and listen to some decent tactical insight ,particularly in current circumstances where match going supporters are having to watch from home.
I like Micah but sometimes he can be a bit giddy and easily influenced by some of his peers however I think he's quite insightful when he's not playing to the crowd.
There are some really good pundits out there in my opinion such as our very own Nedum, Pat Nevin and Leon Osman but for every good pundit there are a dozen rent a gob no nowts usually ex Rags or Dippers who are reeled out to appease their plastic followers.
Tomorrow is win win for me, if The Rags win it damages the victims top 4 chances and won't make much difference to them as they aren't going to catch us and I doubt Leicester will catch them.
If the victims win, it's all over mathematically for the title and they're still unlikely to catch Chelsea or West Ham above them anyway.
A draw is useless to either of them.

I disapproved of Micah doing his little dance round Spit during the week although l had had by own little dance with my own dog. Micah is a professional pundit. We were all unhappy about Spit' reaction when PSG scored because he was unprofessional. The amount of times these sorts of clips are shown seems to show the TV companies see them as part of the entertainment.
Nedum is very good and lve always liked Nevin but as you say there are a lot of no nowts around.

Still yet to see a decent angle on the offside

Lineker on Sergio "I know he's 32 but why let him go"

the MOTD team can’t understand us letting him go when he’s that sharp
To be fair it’s the first time this season he’s looked anywhere near fit enough

Because most of us are in shock how leaner, fitter and sharper he has looked today, almost like watching pre-Covid football. I just waited for bald Merlin to pop up from somewhere. Watching it on MOTD now got me really misty eyed at the thought he is gone at the end of May. The last connection with that team of 2011/12. Phuuuufffffff!!!!
