He needs to have a word with Neville about how to hide your prejudices whilst commentating. He was so against City last night it was laughable, to the point where I simply turned the sound down.

The pleasing thing is that I don't actually pay for BT Sport so Im not funding that utter twit in any way.

His analysis of Dawson blatantly taking a swing at Aguero was one of the most biased, one sided, comical pieces of work in football commentating history.

Don't forget this is the guy who tried to tell everyone he didn't have a history of injuries while looking for a club. Did he think we all have goldfish memories?

After a promising start to his career this was the bloke who was happy to warm the bench for most of his career in return for shits loads of money that is probably in the bank account of Ladbrokes by now. His benchwarming makes Wayne Bridge not seem so bad....perhaps thats going too far.

Sort of thing that should attarct an FA charge. Or is that only when the commentators make a fuss of it? Like when Glen Whelan tried to break Javi Garcia's leg and the FA ignored it?

The spineless little cunt! Some of his comments last night were pathetic, trying to explain why it's not wrong to stamp on another player or everytime it looked like a call for us, how it wasn't.

Not a handball for me.

Nowhere near his arm, why is he clutching his face?

Not offside.

No penalty.

We all have a view of things but this cunt only seems to have a Rag one. What makes it worse is that he is also shit at commentating and the opening piece where he went through the teams had me cringing as he spoke like a robot reading a script.

And dont forget the 'yaya needs to be careful he's on a yellow and shouldn't do challenges like that' when Rose dived just outside our box and it was Zabba who 'fouled' him!

How the fuck do you confuse those two?!?

When Ade stamped on Demi he actually said he's done that before, seen the defender coming and thought if your gonna put one on me then I'm gonna put one on you and given them a few studs! He actually said he had deliberately stamped on a defender when he played! What an absolute cock! He was awful last night!

Yep, that was boring boring michael owen flying the flag for BT Sport by celebrating a deliberately caused injury on a professional footballer - owen is a fucking disgrace and should be kicked out by BT promptly!
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

Adebayor stamped deliberately on Demichelis and owen was crowing about it in delight and bragging that he used to deliberately injure other player like that when he was playing. I think it's an absolute disgrace that BT Sport are employing an idiot who encourages what is nothing less than deliberate criminal behaviour.
If you check footage around the time of the incident you'll hear owen in raptures about it. I've cancelled my subs to BT because of it and I won't renew unless owen's kicked out. If other people complain them something might happen.

Luckily in the US we don't have to hear him. Arlo White and Graham le saux aren't perfect and were slightly biased towards spurs, but at least they talk within reason. Both were amazed that Demi was booked, thought the handball/basketball moment was a penalty, and even suggested that the stamp on Silva could be considered a red card by some refs. They also have the common sense to give us credit while we are steamrolling teams at the moment, without feeling the itch to moan about our £££.

I simply don't understand what compelled BT Sport to hire owen. Anyone who listens to him for 10 seconds starts to either fall asleep or fill with rage. Fans from almost all teams detest him (especially newcastle and liverpool). Besides the goal he scored vs us, I don;t even think rag fans like him that much.

No I mean the video in this thread where Owen acts like a jerk against a thirteen year old.
