I think you’re missing the point. If it were Real Madrid playing Manchester United, Micah Richards would’ve been nowhere near the studio. Pundits would be any three of Ferdinand, Keane, Hargreaves, Dublin, Scholes etc. There’d be no City pundit in there to celebrate.Don’t have a problem with Ferdinand celebrating RM goal. He’s ex Utd player and probably now supports them and it was off camera.
On camera he was professional and complimentary about City as he usually is.
What I find sad is the tweet showing him celebrating. But this is all down to the tiresome modern phenomena of pundits being celebrities and taking part in “bantz”.
No particular liking of Ferdinand but there are other media figures who need calling out far more than him.
Sounds like a disastrous night at the Bernabeu.
I agree with the sentiment. Problem is that BT need the viewers and sadly it’s Utd and Liverpool players that are likely to bring in the viewers due to the size of their teams support.
I'm afraid this is no longer a problem (which has a solution) it has become a fact of life like the sun rising in the east persistently.Why the hell do we care what the media cunts have to say. I laugh every time I see it. They hate us cause they ain’t us, they wish they had half the organization we have.
No Ferdinand on his own or any pundit will not be a big enough pull.You really think more people watch Madrid vs City, which is only on BT in the UK, because of the special pull of Ferdinand?
Which proves that their broadcasts are not for City fans who want to watch their own team, but for bitter redshirts insteadI agree with the sentiment. Problem is that BT need the viewers and sadly it’s Utd and Liverpool players that are likely to bring in the viewers due to the size of their teams support.
Not surprised at all.Well BBC Radio 2 this morning has pulled all of the sports sections from the news slots, as far as they are concerned the only semi last night was that singing competition in liverpool
Who cares what Rick whatever his name is thinks. I had never heard of him until I read your post.Just listening to that 'scouse' loving presenter, Rick Edwards (from Cambridge!!!), on on 5live.
He was talking about the two goals. And guess which one he thought was the better strike????????????
Now personally I couldn't give a stuff, but they could at least try and not brainwash the listeners with their bias and hatred.
Spot on. Richards is a buffoon, lescott feels inferior. Get nedum on, he is a superb pundit and doesn't get pushed around.It’s fucking sickening to see these rags and dippers encouraging a non British team to victory. Ferdinand went way over the top. Clueless lescott just sitting there with no backbone. Same with gormless Richards, sick of him getting owned by that dispicable dipper. All he’s there for is a laugh and Spit knows it too and walks all over him.
Stuart Pearce is a footballing genius don't you know. Remember all them thrilling goal packed games we witnessed when he was our manager.‘Talksport’ you say? ‘Stuart Pearce’ you say?
We're rubbish. I read it on Blue Moon.We lack punch, ruud gullit and Andy gray also said last night on bein sports we just pass without purpose. A draw away to the current champions, an fa cup final and top of the league...
Where did it all go wrong?
Fuck off Ferdinand.
These are blue legends you two are disrespecting ffs. The problem isn't with our ex players not being biased enough towards us, it's the media channels for selecting opposing ex players and encouraging them to behave the way they do when we play. Two wrongs don't make a rightSpot on. Richards is a buffoon, lescott feels inferior. Get nedum on, he is a superb pundit and doesn't get pushed around.
I suppose those rag fans need to see proper football somewhereWhich proves that their broadcasts are not for City fans who want to watch their own team, but for bitter redshirts instead
Fuck off Ferdinand.
