Was at the game so didn't see it yesterday and too inebriated to understand what was being said when I watched the re-run last night but just watched the SKY commentary and analysis. Niall was pro City throughout. He's probably going to get sacked now as he had digs at Uniteds fans, Chelsea's style of football, Liverpool not having the bottle for the fight and how City build within the community, are a family club and are set for Premier League domination. Good on you Niall, now make sure you carry on speaking your personal views rather than what your employers want you to say. For yesterday I say, good on yer lad.
 
Like everyone connected with City from his era, sometimes he can be polar about how he rates City and the current regime. I think deep down he knows what our fans are about, and what City aspire to be. If he gets sacked, can we get him a job at the club shop?
 
A few ex city players come across as bitter because of the way they were sold or treated back in the day. Quinn has seemed like he's been one of them. I think he's softened his attitude to us now after hearing his complimentary words lately regarding City. Keep it up big Niall, we need more like you at Sky.
 
I suspect that the penny has finally dropped with Sky that the Liverpool love in wasn't universally shared by fans of other clubs. Probably realised that they need to have some balance to counter the opinions of Redknapp, Souness etc and have given Quinn free reign to express some pro City sentiment.

Excellent post which is pretty close to being on the money.
Two titles in 3 seasons simply can't be ignored - not even by SLY Sports.
Slowly but surely that dropping penny is being heard.
 
Nice to see the big fella finally get some credit on here because he's been slagged off quite a bit by some who always look deeper into things than is needed. I met the fella after he had left us and we had been relegated at Stoke. He spotted my brothers City shirt and made a bee line straight over to us without being asked, shook both our hands and said how sorry he was about what had happened to City.
 
He was very complimentary post West Ham game, however he has still some bridges to rebuild after 18 months of being truly awful towards us.

He was also very much more pro-City after our victory at Palace and Soreness' rant about how we should have scored ten against a team that had won its previous five games.

I was very impressed with Niall that afternoon.
 
Would just like to add that after having Sky Sports News on for over an hour I seen Quinn once. I did however see Kevin Phillips at least 3 times talking about how he thinks Ashley Cole will go to the rags.
 
Niall was excellent when asked about FFP pre Villa game. He gave a detailed account, one never heard before, one from a Premier League a Chairman.

He detailed how FFP as it is now was not what he was sold, and he thought City's work was excellent for football & the community.

Used to think he was a bit of a bulb, but now I have my respect back for him.

Yes I noticed that interview and how his opinion seemed to have changed but had me wondering if he has now signed up to the "old boys club" because we certainly need one to rival the arse licking the rags, Liverpool and Arsenal get in the media.

Agree so much with this.

Often I think he is a fence-sitter but with the FFP comments pre-Villa he was speaking passionately and with conviction. It had total credibility as well because of his unique position with Sunderland at the time. I thought it was brilliant. Stupendous even :)
 
It has been said before but I will say it again.

Why the fuck is that guy in our hall of fame.

Either he changes his agenda or we fuck him right off.
 
What a miserable fucker he is he never gives us any credit I cannot help but think it stems from when he was chaiman at Sunderland, bad dealings with city maybe?
