Watching Bernardo's goal on repeat
I know this might likely point something out to some people that they'd never noticed and it might spoil the highlight videos, so firstly I'm sorry - if you're the sort of person where little things really get your goat stop reading.

I know this isn't something that everyone will have a gripe with, but does the guy who commentates on the extended highlight videos (on the club's website) wind anyone else up?

I find it hard to concentrate on the football that's being shown whilst listening out for his lisp. It's not even a lisp in the normal sense of the word, in fact I'm not even sure it's a real problem.

The guy pronounces almost every "the" "them" "there" as "vuh" "vem" "vere".

I could accept it if it was every time, and simply think it's not his fault he's been given the job, but sometimes he pronounces it correctly.

I hate watching football without sound. Wish the BBC would show MOTD on IPlayer.

I think they do, after midnight tonight?
 
fair enough mate have your say.

Id like to say what a useless cameraman it is that does the footage of the highlights for our games, its not down to the club either, not sure who takes charge.

Whoever it is cant be a blue, fair to say whoever it is you are crap at your job and a backyard off what fans want to see.
 
All I expect from our commentators is passion, excitement and interest. City hire commentators who lack all three. Touré's no-look screamer against Sunderland is the best example of that.
 
It's a bit irritating, but I'm not sure the guy can help it really.

Having said that, I still find it bizarre that the highlights on City's own web-site seem to feel the need to be even-handed. So this week, we see pretty much all of West Brom's half-chances. To be honest, unless it's a goal or an amazing bit of defensive or goal-keeping skill from one of our players, I'm not remotely interested.
