After yrs of working for Sly Alan Smith has finally succumb to the "we hate Manchester City" band waggon.
With those mono tones and arse licking digs to the narrative, i really feel he has been primed to fill Martin Tylers shoes.
All he needs now to pass the interview is a tattoo of a "devil forking a liver bird"

Fuck them all. He is a useless duckbill platypus...bet he can’t say that without sounding like a fucktard.

Sky News (Sports update) at 23.30....arsenal, arsenal, arsenal knocked out by City.....not 3 times holders win away, all centered from am Arse point of view.

I can't imagine last week the narrative was Leeds lost in an eight goal thriller, it'd be rags rags rags all the way.

As for last night's match coverage I don't normally have sound on but FFS Smith was bad & the girl after the game... you know how bad it is when Jamie Rednappe is on our side.

Archive shot from 2019-2020's FA Cup semi final?

The quote of the season which nails how piss poor these twats are was when Bernado did his “rugby tackle” it was from this point on I actually started to enjoy the commentating.
Every other word became an outtake stocking filler for Soccer AM....
I think we should produce a DVD of all these gems and decisions from the last 5 years be a great prezzie ...be good to have Buzzer doing the links and voice overs

No agenda.

Like another poster says, I’d say Laporte deserves to be in there but no other city player does.

not arguing that van Dijk is probably the best centre half in the league but why is he in there for 2020? He played well until March, had 4 months off, Liverpool were then disastrous defensively during the restart and also at the beginning of this season and then got injured.

id also argue that kane and son are in there based on august-december alone.

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

Agreed. I have always thought most biased media coverage against City was commercially driven. Negative stories about City drive almost as much online traffic as positive ones about Liverpool and United. There is money to be made out of knocking City not least by the pundits who always get asked back.
That said another factor (especially in the tabloid press) is the "Little Englander" card. We have always had the "wrong sort of owners" as far as most British newspapers (and their reporters) are concerned. Old-fashioned racism has played its part.

“Dirty Arab oil money” certainly isn’t viewed the same as those “cleaner than clean, white American dollars”

The commentary on Sky last night was unbearable, had to turn it off in the second half.

So according to bbc breakfast news the girl covering the sport says as they show the mahrez free kick,the keeper mistake cost arsenal the game,so they would have won if he hadn’t spilled it didn’t show any of the other three goals,only thing she got right was at the start saying we thrashed arsenal ..
