Said that before in a MOTD thread a few weeks back. Hansen, Shearer, Lawro etc. are all biased as fuck.
I would never think that Dixon actually is a City fan the way he talks about them, the only thing he said really was that it was a vital 3 points for the chase of "that 4th spot" .
Also pissed me off how they spent more time talking about how "unlucky" Fulham were and how angry their manager looked than about the actual game and our dominance in it.
Didn't MOTD recruit Slaven Bilic recently, on a one-off basis? Maybe I dreamt it, because it transformed the programme into something actually watchabe. Articulate, no particular axe to grind; my senile old memory even seems to recall him speaking up for City while he was being patronised by Alan Hansen et al.
If Dixon were man enough to to have some principles, he would make a point of defending City against the Spurs-for-fourth campaign and other transgressions at BBC/Sport/Fotball and elsewhere in the media. He's comfortably the most eloquent of the regulars, but it seems to me that he's so chuffed to be there, getting paid for chatting about football, that he's terrified of knocking some housewives' favourite's nose out of joint. Either that, or he couldn't really give a monkey's about City. Not while Arsenal are winning.
They bring in Bilic Guv and I agree he was a breath of fresh air. From what I seen last night, they didn't talk about the splendid fluent attack and finish for the second goal, just two possible penalty decisions.
I no longer watch the pundits on MOTD or SKY where possible. I find Jamie Redknapp can be fairly balanced in his oppinions and explanations regarding a game, and gives a fresh insight from a player who has recently played the game at a higher tempo than say Lawrenson/Hansen from the 80's
But other than Redknapp, I can't stomach the anti City bias just because the Top four are in the process of being dismantled. A few years ago when we were wallowing in a barrel of Premier league shite, no one gave a damn. Now we have a few bob, I don't care what people think.
I can make my own decisions on how my team are playing, and don't need to listen to the ramblings of a senile former player, who is encouraged to be a controversial as possible in an effort to increase ratings.
