Sorry mate, but what you've written makes no sense to me.

Surely it's irrelevant that the technology/software has been bought in, its usage isn't still controlled by EA sports during a game is it (?), it's not implementation by them it's simply their product.

Is there no differentiation between home and away teams on FIFA in respects to the noises heard when playing the game? Is it deafening cheering whoever scores? Do you just hear wall-to-wall booing if any player is sent off? Or are these noises in the game dependant upon whether it's the home team who scores/has a man sent off?

City’s main chant on FIFA starts as Liverpool

Football is back at BBC Breakfast together with bright smiling happy faces and lots of coverage on both national and local bulletins. Naga MFC has to get in on the act with a bit of her trademark stupidity to start it off by asking why wasn't Klopp sacked when Lampard was but from then on they're cooking. Back in the winning habit says Smug Mike (if one event is a habit), all the goals shown, a set of goofy teeth rabbit away as Klopp obscures the rest of his mush with that daft hat pulled right down. Local news proudly announce that now Liverpool are 'just' four points behind City as if they were leading the chase.
What a load of bollocks. Back to reality when City have a big win tomorrow which is somehow missed off the news.
In a later bulletin Liverpool are 4 points behind in the title race, correcting the accidental mention of who leads the league.

Cheers Shirley, will give that a ganders this morning.

Steve McPointytwat was in charge of the crowd noise in addition to sticking to his remit of neutral, well informed, unbiased commentary.

When the third goal went in from Mane, the levels of celebratory smugness and partisan congratulatory tones from Fletcher and McPointy were so nauseating I stopped watching. Compared to the noticeable groans of disappointment when we score from the lazy BT co-commentator, the difference in bias levels is hard to listen to.

<looks intently at bbc football website for their daily early morning rolling news discussing last nights results, the papers backpage headlines and the transfer gossip>

So in other words, a typical BBC sports bulletin.

Which is why I watch our games on Bein Sports.
Sly are as bad with Ratboy and Spit.

Business as usual, although the poor mites were so down in the dumps yesterday l thought of doing a little dance of joy for them.
But my nice warm bed stopped that.

Indeed. I don’t want a pro-City panel, I’m not arsed about having ex-City pundits or a load of positive comments with Savage waxing lyrical about us.

I’d rather not have that, I’d rather West Brom were treated with the same respect we got last night instead of being an afterthought on what seemed like CityTV.

Just get pundits in based on their punditry quality, not who they played for, and just give a neutral stance on everything that happens in a game.

I don’t want to be treated like United and Liverpool.

Well said.

I just turn the commentary off now and put some tunes on in background.
