Missing the Pearce days

Long story but bear with...
I was due on a night shift at 22:00 on that night, no BT, no talkshite or BBC, I had the City commentary but silenced it after Rodri's goal due to nerves, just checking the text updates while busying myself around the house washing up etc....
Anyway, soon as the whistle went I had to leg it, straight to the car & in luckily just a mile away & caught the talkshite sum up... honestly you'd have thought we'd lost. Couldn't understand initially as thought it was matterface who would enthuse professionally but quickly recognised tyldsely & thought, eh? He sounded genuinely gutted trying to force some prepared winners routine through gritted teeth before handing to Pearce who sounded like his dog died & all he could offer was along the linesof'well they didn't play well'. Immediately after Adran Durham came on with his prepared end of match bit, sounded like it meant something to him personally but also & wanted to convey the situation to listeners regardless. There was a post on another thread showing the video of their commentary & you can see Durham punching the air on final whistle, Pearce & Tyld like they'd shat themselves.
Hearing first then seeing the absolute state of that pair & credit as ever to Adrian Durham for persistently not towing the editorial line & saying asit is.
My wider point being, Pearce remains a City pundit through association despite his universally terrible record at everything post playing so I particularly enjoy the evisceration given in this thread.

Enjoy your summer Blues...

Paradoxically, pundits, who have a soft spot for City, such as Nedum, Joleon and Michael Brown, aren’t allowed anywhere near a City game as co-commentator.
 
There was a brief spell where the Cole/Vassell partnership looked like it had potential.

Loved Cole’s curler against West Ham.
