Natalie Pike is a very good presenter

[TheMightyQuinn]

Whilst criticism is inevitable in her role, I think some of the personal comments about her are starting to cross the line and are grossly unfair.

I agree.

Mind you, this forum is generally populated by 'playa haters' and grumpy old men.

Some of the personal comments are pretty vile and nasty, it isn't Natalie's fault she's more attractive than the posters wives/girlfriends and this isn't a valid reason to dislike her.

If you don't like her just don't listen to her, it's not like HT lasts for a long time and it's not like there's nothing else to do in the stadium.

The notion that it plays to our rivals is pathetic as by the same token we should refrain from abusing rival players/teams/fans for fear of firing them up. Perhaps at the next derby we should sing 'Roooooneeeeeyyy' for 90 mins to try to make him happy and less likely to want to score against us?

Weird that Danny, who's on here and a few people know personally doesn't get much abuse despite doing a similar job. It's almost like some people enjoy attacking young women but can't bring themselves to slag a man who could give the abuse back.

You really are a plank. What else, apart from stand in a queue at one of the bars,or queue up for a piss is there to do?
The fact is, you cannot escape from being blasted with this rubbish.
As I've already said, I've no issue with entertainment outside the stadium hosted by Ms Pike and Danny, in fact I applaud that, but it really is time for this half time nonsense to stop

I'm a plank because I don't force myself to listen to something I don't enjoy?

You could try talking to someone, getting a drink, getting something to eat, no problems if you don't want to queue, you can bring your own stuff. You could piss about on your phone if you're the type who has a posh phone, there's loads of things you can do to kill the 15 minute break of which Natalie Pike takes up about 4 minutes!

The club provide entertainment for those who wish to enjoy it. If you don't like it then it's no big deal really.<br /><br />-- Fri Sep 23, 2011 1:15 pm --<br /><br />

Shes not hotter than my girlfriend.
She is pretty much the same age as me.
I am not grumpy or a hater.

Sorry but guys like different things and why is everyone going on about she is getting vile, disrespectful remarks yet when everyone was like "Ill smash her back door in!". That was considered fine?. Its part of the game people, she is in a high profile job which im sure she is rewarded handsomely for. She has access none of us fans will ever have and might even get to sleep with a footballer or two along the way. (If she hasnt already). Im sure she can handle it, all the captainsaveahos you can take your capes off. Noone needs rescuing.

p.s. I am one of the few saying give her more time as she will come good with the presenting.

No, I hate all the 'I'd smash her back doors in' shit too.

She's a good looking girl, people need to get over it and respect her as a human being. It'd also be a help if lads realised that very few women actually appreciate hearing how some internet nerd would 'smash her back doors in'.

If people don't want to watch/listen to her then there's plenty they can do in the 4 minutes she takes up at HT.

I also don't think I'm Superman just because I have no interest in commenting on her looks or slagging her off because she has a job most on here would kill for.

It's just common human decency to respect a fellow human being.

Apologies if my not wishing to rant about anally raping her or moaning about how I hate her voice makes me somehow aloof and, apparently, a Superman wannabe. I'll try to learn from others on here and resort to comments on her breasts or just having a pop for no real reason.

I've actually moaned about threads on her in the past due to the fact they go 1 of 2 ways - people go on about wanting to shag her which I find crass and pretty sad or they just slag her off which I find equally sad.

Theyre all crap, Huge Ferritt and his smug grin, Danzone Fanny and his never ending 'erm's and Natalie Pike squealing out of her false smiling mouth.

Bin the lot.

I have no personal vendetta against her but she's only receiving the same criticism Hughe Ferris receives personally I'd rather they do something other then belittle our opponents in front of their own fans its embarrassing.....

also I don't wanna hear how lovely David Silva is or that he's a good looking bloke, its a City game not Britain next top model.....

City beat Spurs 5-1...away...the reaction on here? Bollocks, we should have scored 8 like the rags, not good enough.

Hugh Ferris is abused for not being Mancunian or a blue.

Natalie Pike is abused for being a woman, having a loud voice and being attractive. If she was ugly, she'd probably get abused for being ugly. She's Mancunian and blue which is why people hate Ferris so it doesn't really add up.

Danny is Manc and blue too so people moan that he isn't exactly Philip Schofield when that's the whole appeal, he's meant to be 1 of us, a bloke from the crowd who's willing to get on the mic and chat to other fans.

Mancini wins an FA cup and that's not good enough either.

Face it, we could win all 4 cups this season, we could score 20 goals a game and the club could give us all £50 for singing songs and people would still moan that the kid who serves pies isn't English or that the woman who sells programmes has fat ankles.

Pretty much nail on the head with regards to the presenter stuff.

As for the footballing side of things. That comes down to one thing, the one thing it shouldn't come down to - United.
Let's face it, a lot of Blues (especially on here) won't be satisfied until we're officially bettering United.
I know for a fact, whilst most would tell you NO, a lot of fans would rather finish 2nd, with United in 3rd, than win the FA Cup, but finish 3rd, behind United in 2nd.
It's all about them for too many of Blues. It's the same reason 5-1 away at Spurs wasn't as glorious as it should be, it was all about them. How they were first on Match of the Day or about how they got a 20 second feature on the radio when we only got 15. It'll always be like that until in every which way, we're better.

I totally agree.

There's a 100page thread on the filth and we call them obsessed and moan about how much attention they get from the media!

City beating Spurs gave me a high that the rags scoring 8 couldn't even come close to ruining but for a lot on here it was proof of how shit we are in comparison despite the fact that at home to Spurs the rags only scored 3.

like I said I have no problem with either Natalie, Danny or Hugh its just the whole we'll win 4-0 lark and Silva is gorgeous and will bang 2 goals in....

fair enough if its fans amongst fans but when its addressed to 47,000 people including the away fans I find it cringeworthy nothing to do with Natalie being a girl or Hugh's haircut or Danny's errrring (as someone pointed out) in fact I wanted Danny to do the commentary for the highlights on the OS but I guess I didn't want Natalie to do it because she's a woman???

Fuck the away fans.

They spend 90 minutes getting dogs abuse from lads so I'm sure a little kid saying we'll beat them 4-0 isn't going to do much harm.

City can't win - Empty seats are moaned about, kids are moaned about and women are moaned about. I'm sure if we filled the stadium with all Mancunian males, people would still moan about how some of them are too small or too tall.

Also, like I said earlier, it's easy enough to ignore the entertainment if it isn't your thing. I find that unless I make a point of engaging with what's happening at HT, I tend to miss it anyway so it's not as if we're being forced to endure it. On Wednesday I was aware Natalie was speaking as I could see her on the big screen but by the time I was finished letting people get past me to go to the bar and talking to my dad, she'd finished, I didn't ignore her but there's so much going on that had I wanted to listen to her every word I'd have had to actively do so. With that in mind, the people moaning must be going out of there way to watch/listen to the on pitch entertainment which is stupid if they don't enjoy it.

I like it how it is - if you want it, it's there for you and if not you can really easily just get on with your life and it won't even register with you!

I'm not worried what other fans think anyway as all football fans are biased and quick to take the piss out of other clubs despite their own club being equally as bad.

Until we start playing music when we score, I'm more than happy with the current set up at COMS...oh and the guy with the camera for the big screen, he needs to stay away from me too but aside from that, I'm fine with it all.
