Micah Richards the pundit

Bloke is a prick. Beyond arrogant and can’t handle any criticism whatsoever. Has nothing to add in terms of football or tactical knowledge that the average, casual fan couldn’t say and notice themselves.

Also searches his name on twitter and will kick off in DMs about any criticism people might be throwing his way.

Can’t stand him.

I hope he's not secretly on this forum, you might be getting a few DMs...
 
I like him personally but I can see why he divides the fanbase.

He is a nouveau pundit, an entertainer, and someone I would image the younger generation latch on to more than some of the more traditional pundits.

A lot of the younger generation don't want the tactical analysis, or at least not as the primary punditry format. They want a soap opera that can consume them, and Micah is king of the hill in regards to offering that.

It's partly the Americanization of the British youth that has created the demand in my opinion.

How about the youth get what's better for them, rather than what they want once in a while? Meanwhile, the rest of us suffer dumbed down shit.

Get off my lawn!

Sadly, I agree. Said it before that he’s not my cuppa tea as a pundit. Drives me mad on CBS/Paramount+ with his antics and OTT cackling. He’s as OTT as Thierry Henry is understated and up his own arse, which leaves Spitter!! I wish ESPN/ABC/DISNEY would buy the CL to go with the Carabao & FA Cup coverage. I can stand most of their pundits and actually like some of them. Nedum is one of them…twice the pundit that Micah is, and then some!

Awww..
 
Really poor comment.

The type of thing a JCL plastic would say who’s never been to a match and never felt a bond with players.

His punditry may not be everyone’s cup of tea but a hero of the 2011 FA Cup win and 2012 title triumph will never be a “****” to a proper blue which you clearly aren’t

He needs to keep his side of the bargain to be fair. Always giving unnecessary digs and talking absolute shite. **** might be a bit strong but he is certainly a dick

Tbf “giving unnecessary digs “ and “talking absolute shite” is the default setting for a lot of fans at the match myself included. We all see incidents and performances differently but that shouldn’t result in plastic armchair internet JCLs abusing City heroes imo
 
When he came on the scene I was please as a fresh face without anti City agenda. Has done well for himself, now features on a lot and now I don’t really enjoy him.

I will say about Richards I was at city games a lot the season he came through the ranks and sat near his dad. Would always go out of his way to say hello as he recognised us and we would chat to Micah after the game. Again lovely and would take time, something a younger fan appreciates.

Regarding pundits with city connections there have been a few cameos recently and you can tell they love the club. Clichy recently I thought was excellent and Zaba too. Unfortunately don’t see enough of them.

city hero? he burst onto the scene with a goal against villa and his interview after, played a few good games and then saw his arse when replaced by zabba who is a city hero, he is an ex city player nowhere close to a hero, city heros are bell, lee , summerbee, dickov, goater, andy morrison and nicky weaver, silva, kompany and aguero to name a few, he aint in that category or close
 
Some people are waaaaaaay too touchy. Micah is a city legend and a really nice guy. He does defend city and he does know his football. Yes he's loud, yes he's seen as a joker, but for city fans to shit all over one of our own ex players for no deep rooted reason is really damning to some of our fanbase. Focus your hatred on the likes of Carragher, Neville and the TV executives who push the red shirt propaganda.
give over
