I think first i really need a new aerial and an aerial man as l can't get down or get up from buggering with all those wires for tv and boxes phone answer machine and light all in one corner due to way plugs are sited.

Ha ha, I thought I wasn't very tech savvy. You don't need an aerial for a firestick, it runs off your wifi.

Same old bollocks from Ian darke
City spent £400m on defenders
Cancelo 2nd most expensive full back in the world
Chumps league is holy grail for city

I turned the commentary off again, as it sounded like two boring idiots who ramble away with inane comments when youu're watching a game in a pub

The collective reactions of British commentators on British TV channels when Gundog seals a win for a British team in France

 

[hutton who blue]

£65 Million Dias and £60 million Cancelo were mentioned. Strange they never mention the £75 million van Dijk (RIP) or the £80 million Maguire.

With the regularity our players fees are mentioned by commentators they are clearly instructed to do so. Sets a depressingly false narrative City have to pay millions for players, other teams don't have to.

City score a third goal .......oooooh I don't know, Sterling looks offside to me

Mentioned “£60m is a lot for a sub” what about a team from Salford paying £100m for a sub

Just sent this to BT, for what good it will do

I am getting pretty fed up with BT coverage of Manchester City on CL games, in fact all games but my example relates to this evenings game v Marseille. Please explain why your commentators and pundits have to add a price tag to every City player they talk about? This evening was Cancello at £60m, followed up with. That's a lot for a substitute. Why do they have to make comment about how much we have spent on defenders without doing some research first. However when United or Liverpool play there is an absence of the financial details paid for players in their match commentaries. Will you be pointing out tomorrow that Pogba cost 90m? Do they think that's a lot for a substitute? Will they be saying that's a great tackle by 80m Maguire, the former being unlikely. Did they mention the cost of 75m Alison missing for Liverpool tonight? I know they mentioned the recently departed Virgil VD tonight but they didnt mention his transfer fee? There is a bias with both BT and Sky to ensure that City are the biggest spenders ever in world football, that they break transfer records everytime they spend and it's a myth not helped by your biased commentary. Chelsea dont get our treatment yet they spent fortunes this summer and in previous years. Your darlings in red at both ends of the East Lancs dont get this treatment despite being the ones who regularly break transfer records. These myths are perpetuated by BT and they are inaccurate and misleading and whilst being probably unconscious they perpetuate the myth which is wholly inaccurate and you need to balance out your reporting by either naming all players, from all clubs along with their fees and especially if it's a world record fee, or just use their name and concentrate on commentating on the game.
