I see Kev has tweeted that we picked up where we left off. Er, no Kev, that was vs Brentford.

Dippers ?

The big difference between her and Ned, is that Ned had lots of facts and figures (obviously read up before) he did try a little too hard though.
I wouldn't normally go with the 'box ticker' thing, but she has moved around a couple of high profile appointments recently, almost like she can't hold down these jobs. I thought she was supposed to work in America atm. Happy to be corrected

 

[Brooklands Blue]

So you're saying she's the female version of Micah Richards?

At least Micah is balanced in his view of us!!

It's an hour and a half before kick-off of the only premier league game tonight and one that involves the reigning champions and still there is no preview article or anything on the BBC football homepage. It's getting increasingly bizarre.

I was working on a late yesterday and about 6pm, I said to a colleague almost exactly the same thing to the point I called us something like the double reigning Premier League Champions. It is bizarre and I simply cannot think why the BBC would not feature an article when the reigning Champions are playing a game without the usual ‘bias against City’ thinking because that does not wash in this instance. We were playing a match, so a report on both teams would have been appropriate and not just City to consider. The Leeds fans must have thought it strange too.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Report on Haaland on the BBC pages shoe horns in City of birth and being a Leeds fan in at every opportunity.

Weird how he is in City kits from toddler to teens.

The beeb indulging in some full on 'Leedswashing'.

 

[BrownManc]

BBC news chanel on. Headlines at 11 mentioned our win at Leeds so waited for the sports news in the hope of seeing the goals for the first time. Silly me two cricket test matches neither involving England, then tennis some non tournament in Australia, USA v Chec Republic, than that prize twat Novak Jcovich saying he will play in Australia. That was it, I could have sworn the champions of England in our national sport played last night apparently not.WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!

Perhaps Amazon Prime because of copyrights not allowing the BBC to show any content from the game incl the goals?

 

[KS55]

Dippers ?

I think he was referring to our two games since the WC. as picking up where we were before the WC. Thats how I read it.

Something they wouldn’t dare do if he played for either of the Red ugly sisters

Tbh, I thought she was Director of Womens Football at The Shit (or Aston Villa as they’re known outside the West Midlands).

Brooklands box-ticking post missed out the most obvious box that seems to need ticking for females on sports tv and that’s being attractive, which she certainly is, (although as I type I’m already thinking of one ‘exception that proves the rule’!)

 

[eyalluvitt]

Eni Aluko. One of the very worst out there. People actually pay for these subsciptions and are dealt with that useless fucker. Should be nowhere near a football pitch nevermind a camera

When she is on our TV screens giving us the benefit of her vast football knowledge, the village she is from is definitely missing it’s idiot

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

What the fuck have i just watched?

Has that been put together by a 10 year old?

Some piss must have been boiled putting that together.

Not really sure what the point of it is?

 

[FantasyIreland]

I think we all know why she gets the gigs she does and it's not down to her knowledge base. At the risk of a pile on I'll say it. She's a box ticker. She's female and from a BAME background which when it comes to being invited on as a football pundit supersedes knowledge and the ability to articulate your point in a understandable and non judgemental manner. I'm saying she's not switched on as she (or her agent) is bright enough to be as negative about us as she is sycophantically praising of the rags and dippers.

Spot on pal,the poisonous clueless **** offers nothing except her gender and skin colour.

What a fucking surprise.
Another one who thinks skin colour is the reason someone gets a job.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder mate, but fuckin hell.

Always thought you two were the same poster.

Each to their own mate ;-)

I’d still rather not have her as a united fan as pundit on our games though

There are some really bad pundits out there, and the TV companies seem to have decided that despite the banal, inane, uninsightful comments they continuously spew out, that they should be re-booked again and again.

The fact that Nedum managed to get the gig on Prime is marvellous, the fact that he had to put up with a clearly out of their depth Aluko, is a great shame.

If Aluko, presumably, got the job because of multiple box ticking, it’s a shame that she has been allowed to be continued with, because I’m sure there’s many many other ex-footballers who would be crying out for the chance to have a go. Men, women, white, black, alien, green…. It doesn’t bloody matter, just be decent , intelligent, articulate analysts!

Ditto commentators.

Didn't mention the colour of her skin pal! You'll have to enlighten us as to what qualities this individual has that make her worth employing as a pundit other than the obvious?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Talkshite numpties are debating whether we're better off with or without Haaland. Lol. Clowns.
