Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

To my way of thinking it's subliminal mind control. When they commentate on our games they will continuously make references to the money we have. They will talk about Sterling diving, they will talk about Ederson barging opposition players out of the way. Every one of our tackles will be met with: "Oh, he's a lucky boy to still be on the pitch".

What they are doing is planting into everybody's minds that we are the only club ever to spend money on players, we are the only club ever to be awarded controversial penalty decisions, we are the only club who can go around fouling with no recriminations. People will switch on their TV sets to watch us on Sky and they are already subconsciously thinking: "City. The billionaires who cheat and dive their way to success".

It's propaganda, propaganda that we are subsidising. We are paying for Tyler, Ratboy, and all the others to plant in people's minds that we are the enemy of football before we've even kicked a ball.

Absolutely bang on post if I ever saw one. This, this and only this.
 
Why do we need commentators ? We can all bloody see the tv.
If you cant see a tv than yes we need a commentator for the radio. But tv ?
I watch out games on a German channel. The commentator rarely speaks and you don't have any of the crowd noises that the TV companies over here add. It's a fucking delight.
 
The problem with the commentaries is that there are two people doing it rather than one.
If you have one person doing it you get a commentary, two or more it becomes a discussion, akin to two pissed up blokes sat at the end of a *bar*

* For all younger folks out there a bar is a place indoors where someone serves you an alcoholic beverage and you can sit with friends or strangers alike.
Can’t see that catching on
 
He made me guffaw when he said young commentators ask him how to commentate, he always replied by saying 'say what you see not what was in the build up to the game.....'

I'm not even sure what the hell that means or even if takes heed of his advice to others.

Oh and his comment about Dias adjusting well to the Premier league. No shit Sherlock. Just a shame Dias doesn't play in red as he'd be being lauded as the greatest defender that ever lived.

Indoors? And you can sit next to real people? But won't they all get ill and pass horrible diseases to each other? Sounds too dangerous to me.
 
I’ve not listened to the cunts commentary since we won the title against QPR, I’m all the better for it too, reading the comments on here.. ! Switch him and ratus ratus off, it’s not difficult..
Gargoyle one is not Rattus Rattus.

He comes from a far more sinister sub-species; Rattus Traffordius.
