The joy of Iptv, like you all I want is fair, objective commentary and analysis.
I feel sorry for anyone paying to listen to the usual red shirt wankers using Sly or BT as a platform to steal a living slagging us off.
To be fair to BT they seem to have got the message as there was no sign of Darke or Camelgob for our last couple of games.
I still can't believe Sly continue to employ lowlifes like Carragher after he spat on that teenage girl from his car window or Keane after he basically admitted going out to deliberately injure a fellow professional.

The "joy" of having the pay TV service is not having to watch a buffering service that's not effectively live, buffers and makes you turn any alerts off the mobile. All for about a tenner a week extra on top of the entertainment package (of which I get no say). Great if you can put up with it but if the commentary is shit I just turn the volume down, also, sometimes, you need to know what the enemy is thinking.

It was funny listening to Glen Hoddle. His comments really were moronic and it is clear he is totally inept at tactics. No wonder he was a total failure as a manager. He kept insisting that Palace should hit the ball long and "win the first ball" and then "the second ball." No wonder English international football was a laughing stock for 30 years with people like him as so-called "experts."

And he was lauded as the tactical genius of English football at one point.... Laughable

The greatest United team ever got 79 points to win the league and scored 2 injury time goals to win champions league after being dominated for 90 minutes by Bayern Munich.

and didn't arselona miss a last minute pen in the fa cup game against them

It was actually just under 300m. I know that's still a ridiculous amount but we seem to be the only ones that commentators/pundits are allowed to just throw about wildly inaccurate prices and it just gets accepted as fact.

Just noticed it on MOTD. I thought that your figure was too high but with the huge number of subs nowadays any bench can be expensive
When I first heard Pearce say it l thought he was talking about its current worth.
But it's not what these twats say it's what they leave out. Most of that bench were the first choices for the vital second leg of the semi final of the Champions League not a bunch of reserves. But the message went out as planned about City and money.

So we’re cheats again according to the mail after making god knows how many changes yesterday and moving within 3 points of another title! I’m expecting pep ate my hamster when we wrap it it up!

 

[Blue Mist]

Always thought utd should have tried to get the Olympic/Commonwealth stadium when first planned, it would have stopped us moving from Maine Road and perhaps no Sheik Mansour

Yet another example of their arrogance and lack of busines strategy. They made great play of the Swamp being THE ground and they didn't need to leave. Now it's a crumbling shit hole they can't afford to repair never mind rebuild BUT, had they thought about it, they could have destroyed us. No COMS no Thaksin and from that no Sheikh. Neither would have spent 100 mill redeveloping Maine Road.

He was a joke yesterday constantly saying that Palace would be happy and at one point even said City will be happy to get to Half time.
Anyone with any football knowledge would be watching that game thinking it's only a matter of time before City score and that Palace were hanging on.
The mans a prick ...I was wondering whilst watch how many times he would have mentioned the cup final if we would have been beaten ....Mmmmmm my guess every 2 mins

90% of journalist coverage is City is FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt).

 

[nmc]

Probably posts on the match day thread tbf.

No there’s no slagging of Sterling!

 

[dhruvblue]

I don't know what feed it was but Karen Carney and Owen Hargreaves where very very complimentary of City and especially Aguero after the match

 

[CC1]

As I’ve said on another thread -
We assume journalists know something about football - other than what Fergie did.

But they don’t know much about technical issues. They’re more interested in finding some tenuous derogatory story about us whilst letting the real historic cheats off the hook

A worse thought. If the rags had moved to a new stadium, we might have moved to the swamp.

Bang on mate ,Bang on.

Just been on the bbc website after our game , I do find some of the posts funny lol this is suppose to be a City fan

So thick to think anyone believes he’s a Blue. He’s obviously a long suffering rag. Let’s all laugh :). :). :)

I bet if we sold them now it would be for significantly more than whatever the cost was.

Never mentioned of course

There’s certainly no way their owners will put their hands in their pockets. I’m enjoying their predicament

 

[give it to gordon]

Discussion on radio 5 about who is greatest manager, Pep or Ferguson? A caller claimed Ferguson because he reckoned that if the best united side played the best Pep side then united would win. If ?Would? Could ? I thought Pep managed Barca to beat rags in 2009 and 2011 finals and proved he was the greatest. Disappointing that the presenters did not acknowledge this

That's make this a fair comparison that's take pisscan first 5 years at the rags and Peps first 5 years at City.

 

[blueju]

C'est vrai mon ami. He publicly showed his bias against an English club which is wrong in many eyes whereas Micah showed his bias for his own which is understandable. Neither should show bias but l can't help thinking the TV companies are engineering or encouraging it.

Of course they are, and when did it become important for us to see pundits away from the camera playing up?

 

[Mike Cledford]

For the first time in my life I am looking to be looking for a stream to watch Der Plastico. I've been thinking that l can't be arsed with all the buffering, dropped connections and MacaFee sending security warnings and the stuff l put up with for City.
But it will be a win/win situation. I have to watch every minute to see the faces of the Faeces at the end. It could slot in with the rags players at Wembley after the semi and Ferguson and Jones plus the one supporter with his rags scarf just showing amongst many others not brave enough.

Jonathan Pearce on match of the day could not even manage to pronounce Mendy correctly. Not the 1st time either. Thought we had a new signing "Mon Die"
