Did anyone notice Linekers snide comment about moody Pep at post match and pre match press conferences tonight. Never heard him say that about Klipperty and hes been known to be right sore loser in his post match interviews. More often than Pep I'd say.

Nothing wrong with what Lineker said.Pep would sooner be anywhere than talking either before or after a game as he hates the media.Lineker was spot on as we`ve seen many times in interviews ... he can be moody ... but thats mainly due to the shit questions that he gets asked.

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 provably 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

Don’t think you needed that bit ;-)

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.

I thought overall despite 'JJ' being thick the little bits of commentary I caught wasn't too bad compared to what we normally get apart from a 60 second Citeh bingo on spending when Cancelo came on.

BBC breakfast @6.00, Manchester City might be (halfway down the premier league) but they are halfway through the group stages of chumps league. Will be watching tomorrow to see how rags are mentioned.

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

There is an aerial problem already but last night fhe firestick suddenly froze. Wifi working ok but tv not working with 'no signal' messages everywhere. So whatever it is l am getting a bloke to do the aerial and solve the firestick prob.
Net effect was l missed the match.

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

Ah the Neville and Tyler style is spreading?

Maybe your WiFi has built-in bullshit firewall protection when it detects you switching to BT.

I thought BT tonight were better than normal. Having said that there were no neanderthals commentating.

I think it’s safe to assume normal service will be resumed on Saturday.
