Sergio just scored to make it 3-0
He certainly did! Can’t think why sky stopped using him...:)Buzzer believed
It’s a bit of a myth that Sky dropped him after what he said. Sure, he wasn’t on the panel for the 6-1 (which was the very next derby at Old Trafford after Summerbee said what he said, meaning his prediction came true a lot sooner than many of us expected!) but they did do a light-hearted “Noisy neighbours” feature in the build-up to the match with him and Crerand. He was also on the panel a few days later when we beat Wolves 5-2 in the League Cup.He certainly did! Can’t think why sky stopped using him...:)
Nine years , cant get my head around it being that longBrilliant game, it all seems so long ago.
While I have no doubt as to the accuracy of your stated facts they did drop him because of the comments. They had used him for city games since the inception of the premier league (I distinctly remember a mid 90s game against Wimbledon) and continued to do so until then. A poster on here once said they asked him about it and he stated that Sky didn’t “like him saying the truth” or words to that effect.It’s a bit of a myth that Sky dropped him after what he said.
