Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Sick to death of Tylers 'THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND' commentary style.

take a valium and calm down lad

Genuinely my most hated commentator of all time. You're a footy commentator pal, not a kin poet, stop thinking you're some sporting Shakespeare and do one. Edit: you mean Drury

That Endo tackle...hmm.

Red card all day, every day. Referee 5 yards away. Went to VAR, didn't even recommend him to go and check it. It was only 1-0 at the time. That's 2 reds they've avoided in last 3 home game.

Pep doesn't often make mistakes, but that Cole Palmer looks a really good player.

Wonder if Pep is thinking what if he hadn't sold him?

He wanted him and tried to keep him. Even told him he would get more minutes because Mahrez was leaving. Palmer was adamant he wanted to leave. so he let him leave. Anyone can leave if they no longer want to play and someone offers what City think they are worth.

Any reason in particular mate Palmer wanted to leave?

Game time I presume. Not heard anything different. He'd probably already made his mind up to leave when Pep asked him to stay.

 

[PITA]

That wasn't even up for debate either, he loses the ball, is out of control, takes the players knee then gets the ball and the Scottish fella on commentary "yeah great decision referee who was 5 yards away from it".

You can't get a red card offence any clearer than that ffs but nothing will get mentioned. This is how the top clubs stay at the top, getting away with red card offences game after game

At least MOTD2 gave it some in-depth analysis. Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

If they has Sterling they would. They don't.

They have Salah, who is infinitely better than Sterling. City won't be that naive at home anyway, they'll be fine.

 

[GP_Monty]

So who was the commentator from today ? he's the guy who did that comically over-the-top Manolas commentary that everyone jizzes over right ?

edit: Peter Drury ?

He has all these pre-prepared little poetic flourishes at the ready for every possible in-game scenario. Hate him generally but don't mind as much on the rare occasions he's covering us.

Different type of player.

 

[MisterJ]

he’s not a commentator

He's not a manager either

Having recently read what Wayne Barnes family went through after that fat scumbag rassie erasmus did his videos on referee's (purely to put pressure on them), at what point are managers going to brought to heel over their statements stoking up idiot football fanbases over referees? Do one have to have the death threats become a rea;ity but the gaffers stop acting out of pure self preservation and blaming refs for their own failures?

De Zerbi was right to say 80% of them are crap, we've all been saying the same.
