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.

Without checking, surely that's not true?

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.

But it’s not a minor point. Firstly, it demeans the role of pundit to something akin to a cheerleader. Wright is by no means the worst- people like Carragher and Neville are just appalling. Yes Wight is a legend at Arsenal but made his name at Palace. The pundit should be proving football driven analysis and the emotion and cheerleading is what the fans are there for.
Secondly, the pundit has now become a star turn. Witness the so called Keane-Richards comedy show. I find all this stuff cringeworthy. And of. Purse when all the high profile pundits have the pro red team agenda, then I’d it any wonder the broadcast media is not only anti City but continually underplays the remarkable things our club and team have done for the last 10 years

Martin Tyler works across a lot of the international channels on champions league games in between working for Sky. Carragher and Mica Richards do it as well, they could probably take it all in-house if needs be.

If the premier league took the broadcasting under their umbrella could they keep bringing in the money year after year similar to what they get selling domestic and international tv rights? The NFL and NBA have their own streaming platform which would be ideal for the premier league to replicate.

They manage to get more and more money each round of tv deals. If there is no tv company to sell too does that mean us fans are then locked into the price going up every time they want more money?

Regulation,control,scrutiny and sanctions are coming and City are be using soft influence to encourage and shape it.

City’s reach and growth as a global sports enterprise is beyond most laymen’s imagination.

The days of the red cheeked arses domination are over, they know it and hate it because ultimately everything will have to be above board and subject to independent public scrutiny.

As for little neville the bitter prick, he won’t even be amongst the bag carriers.

It’s our time and we’re entering the final furlongs !!

Lovely stuff!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

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

He is gary neville fucking yonner?

We’re among the leaders of the counterculture that have wanted regulated capitalism for a decade.

And we’re prepared for what is coming.

I agreed with much of your post, but not the conclusion.

To be a leader you have to have followers and we don't.

But one thing is certain, we're not supportive of a regulator because we're counter culture, unless you think our crony capitalism is somehow better than Yanky crony capitalism.

As for prepared for what's coming? There's no way to know that. All we want is the status quo gone because it works against us, but that wasn't always our view.

These past fifteen years we've wanted to be part of the status quo. We are where we are coz the old guard won't let us in, in fact they're actively hostile, so there's a potential upside for us if the regulator muzzles the fuckers who want us gone.

As for what replaces it, particularly under this government, is anyone's guess. Chances are it'll work to our advantage but I suspect our real motivation for the regulator is down to the realisation that we're never going to join the closed shop.

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.

Neville has fallen into the trap of thinking that folk listen to what he says, because what he says is worth listening to.

Good to see Martin’s pissing off all the right people

Hedonistic stuff! But you're confusing what you want, for what you're likely to get.

I had the misfortune of tuning into a Sky stream for yesterday's match for 30 seconds of ratboy & spitty's screeching when my US based stream went a bit wonky. It's worse than watching FanTV. Even Lee Dixon was more professional than those 2 clowns and Peter Drury is head and shoulders clear of Tiresome as the main commentator too.
