Official MCFC Season 13/14 DVD - *Update* Confirmation

Ordered it and watched the "Fight til the end" Documentary first as it had been given a few good reviews on here (posts been deleted?)

It was alright. The run in this year was obviously very good, but it just cannot be compared to 2012. The 75 minutes of my life between Gerrard slipping and Dzeko putting us one up at Palace (and come on, we knew we weren't going to fuck it up from there) cannot be compared to waiting at the ground for the Wigan vs united game to end, absolutely destroying Norwich, Pienaar scoring the equaliser, Kompany scoring the winner vs united, Yaya dominating vs Newcastle and then everything that went on on May 13th 2012.

Watched til about Arsenal at home on the main DVD. The music didn't bother me. That weapon from the home counties with his hat on the side before Newcastle away saying that "Navas is going to be better than Bale" bothered me though. I know City are trying to shed our "local club for local people" tag, but fuck sake, I don't have a Mancunian accent and I wouldn't have sounded like a dickhead.

Fair enough interviewing Cheeseman or people at Sky, but I couldn't really give two fucks about how that Irish media girl has noticed that the players are 'really focused'. Didn't see the Kolarov Santa Claus bit, but saw "one of the funniest videos of the season" when Richards pretended to be injured (the fucking irony). I didn't buy the 2009/10 DVD but I know since 10/11 they've tried to put a bit of FUNNY stuff in their content. Why? If you're that arsed about Chappy pulling a face then you can go on CityTV/if you want to watch a comedy then by a stand up DVD. I understand that they want to show a bit of character, but I just don't really find it relevant when people who have bought the disc want to see football. Not how really funny it was when Salzburg brough Alan on.

If you didn't guess, I'm still coming to terms with that DVD we got with our season tickets last year and the "FUNNIEST MOMENTS". Like that time when Fowler missed a pen vs Middlesbrough. Yeah, that was so fucking funny that I cried when it happened.

The League Cup Final DVD is the best of the pack, the full 90 mins and trophy presentation with Tyler and Neville's original Sky commentary. No idea why the club fucked up the Season coverage so badly, unless one of the media department wanted to "try something different".

That's what I don't understand. We've been told down the years that we can't have the Sky/BBC commentaries (I'll pass on ITV's, thanks very much) due to rights issues.Yet we get the Sky commentary on the COC final. Now I understand it is a different competition, under the control of a different body, but surely if it's possible for the league cup, it should be possible for the PL?

You'd think so, but I get the impression Sky are really precious about keeping their PL coverage exclusive, possibly because they use it to pad out the gaps in their schedules - you know, "Premiership Years" and "Football Gold" or whatever.

Just watched this today , whilst it's poorly edited and there are some poor choices of what is shown - do we really need to see the ref blowing for ft on every game for instance - I still enjoyed it and didn't find the music as intrusive as I had expected from other reviews . If we ever want to sell dzeko should just show this dvd and we will be on for a big payday , he scores loads !!

GET OUT OF MY THREAD!
 
I've now caught up on all the posts and because I haven't got round to buying it yet I was put off buying it. But I've just found this information on Amazon thanks to J. Gill:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disc 1
Season Review-2:51:40

Disc 2
“Fight to the End” documentary-1:03:58
Khaldoon Al Mubarak interview-35:46
Manuel Pellegrini interview-13:40

Region-PAL 0 (Regardless of what the product description indicates, I assure you, this DVD is region 0.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now I'm definitely buying it! Not that I'm saying anyone's negative comments aren't valid. With each point made I've tried to defend City but I can't. They seem to put so much effort into CityTV on a regular basis (which I never have any chance to watch) that I can't see how nor why they can't put any effort into the DVD.

Of course I've got to watch it first, but if after doing so I find I agree with those who have criticised it then I don't think i'll bother buying any more.

Sort it out City!
 
How can City fuck this up so badly? Did anyone in the editing department actually do their job and check the finished product before the final print run? The "off to Wembley" audio fuck up during the Cardiff highlights is embarrassing, the music is too intrusive and some key moments are simply ignored. Eg. Toon away offside disallowed goal. The commentator's contributions are amateurish and cringeworthy....Serhhhhio & who the fuck is Layo Messi ?? It's like he's trying to show off.
Still, it does have a happy ending :)

And don't forget "Yoo-Wee Rosler"
 
Had a lazy afternoon, took the DVD out of its wrapper and watched it at last.

While I agree that it could be better, and there are few silly bloops that should have been edited out, overall it's enjoyable and with 7hrs plus of features its pretty good value.

The music didn't bother me too much TBH, I didn't find it too obtrusive.

My only real quibbles are that it would have been great to have had a feature on the stadium redevelopment plans, and it would have been great to have had a bit more of a focus on the youth setup, with maybe an interview with Viera. Still, with 7hrs of content already maybe that makes me greedy...
