[Bill Walker]

This all day.
Don't be fooled by his tv persona, he's a rag mardarse and anti city gobshite like the other 600 billion of them out there.

Perfect description. But you missed out the word hypocrite (Qatar)

Love Ian Wright’s passion but that paid for analysis (“we” “us”) is grating

Gets on my fucking wick with that shite.

No he was only out there to highlight the issues to us - do keep up BW.......... ;-)

His other tweet about Samuel is a quite slating too, basically describing him as almost a pariah in his own profession.

I can think of no higher compliment.

Rat face not happy with Martin SamuelView attachment 74585

Neville took his mummy to hold his hand

Don’t mind Neville as a pundit but get the feeling he’s not as clever as he thinks he is.

His tweets on politics and football admin always seem to have the air of someone showing off but oblivious to his own hypocrisy.

I think he would do well to avoid trying to get in a debate with Martin Samuel as he would come off 2nd best.

Looking that way premier league want the rights all to themselves cut out the middle man

It all feels too cosy to be true, no way does Sly & the PL part ways acrimoniously, both know where the bodies are, it could get really ugly. The PL will always need a broadcaster and platform to do the groundwork & can always offer Sly favourable rates to smooth things over (Virgin media operates similarly) PL football is their only USP these days. This just feels like a shot across the bows of those clubs supporting government regulation, with the PL incentivising viewing figures, which we all know would benefit the red shirts

His limited intellect and poor judgement were brutally exposed when he hosted HIGNFY.

For years watching our games on various TV channels, we've had to put up with pundits drawn from the usual suspects.. United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea. And we've always had to put up with their partiality; sometimes their indifference; sometimes their hostility.

In recent years we have seen an increase in former Blues brought in to do the analyst's role but in the main we still get 'the usual suspects' most of the time.

What bugs me about Ian Wright's recent involvement in MOTD analyses of games involving Arsenal is his continual use of 'We/Us/Our' when putting his two penn'orth in.

The people at MOTD really should sort it out. Wright may be 'passionate' about his old club, I get that. But he should be professional in the role he's now in and control the 'We/Us/Our' claptrap.

I don't mind him showing his colours (so to speak) at all, why would you want a total lack of passion from every pundit? Are we not passionate about City?

Cutting out the 'We/Us/Our' bits wouldn't stop him being an Arsenal fan and it's not like it's unknown. Seems such a minor thing to get bent out of shape on.

We hear talk about sky losing the pl etc but will it make any difference ? Amazon and bt still employ the same pundits as sky.
