Pundits and TV coverage

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Trevor Francis saying with 3/4 minutes to go 10,000 City fans have left the stadium, they must all have appointments or have super confidence in the team. He said he would have never have left the stadium.

Also he said City fans sat around him don't think much of Dzeko, he said exactly the same during the City vs Crystal Palace game.

Don't know the name of the match commentator but he was totally negative about City all the game.

I can't see anything to disagree with Francis about there, to be fair.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

My stream was setanta and it was very very negative throughout.

Constant mentions of the crowd being quiet, impatient and entitled. Little sly digs about how our ambition used to be to achieve 'glorious failure' and look forlornly across the road at our great neighbours. Mentions of 'the city fans expecting the quadruple' but that's now a distant memory due to being beaten 2-0 by Barcelona. I don't know a single city fan who 'expects' the quadruple.

They used a lot of negative words and example being that our players 'trudged' off at half time. There was also mention of 'that man demechelis' every time he touched the ball as though he gives away 5 penalties and 5 own goals a game.

I've also noticed an awful lot that the punditry is usually about what the opposition needs to do get something out of the game. Ways to 'get at' city (quote from today). Ways to get back in the game etc.

It's pathetic.

John Champion is a rag wanker. My lad went on the game today on my ticket and I unfortunately had to suffer this prick for 90 minutes of commentary.

I'd give a shit what he said if he'd always played the full 90 minutes when playing for City tbh

being paid to talk crap before going into corporate hospitality is probably a reasonable incentive for him to stay as well tbf

shame on those mere plebs for having lives outside of the game and going off to do other stuff

tut tut

Apparently Barcelona hammered us
...
Since when was 2-0 a hammering, especially when one goal was from the spot and the other in the 90th minute and against 10 men.....

Hansen is a ****!

And Clueless says we're cynical, but no debate/evidence provided by MOTD.

Careful to miss out City beating Chelsea a week ago wasn't he.

That's what I thought. Either incompetent at his job or plain biased

 

[Blue Note]

Atmosphere was woeful, I don't think I've ever seen it that bad. Was quite embarrassing.

 

[The Man With The Stick]

Every one of them send to gloss over the injuries we had... Truly bizarre. It was the equivalent of us havin a full squad and them missing Hazard, Ramires, Willian and Matic.
