An English commentator commentating on the English champions on English TV in English to an English audience. Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect at least a bit of bias in favour of the English champions?
Exactly this.
Why? Just comment on the match. Don't be biased. Might as well start calling every ref call against City unfair and every call City gets a correct call.
I thought the pair were fine. I think Ratface is a better commentator and I still feel dirty for liking him as a pundit, but he simply does a good job.
Doesn't any reasonably normal English football fan want every English club to do well in Europe (bar their local rivals)?
