Couldn't tell the difference from ESPN myself, and for some reason that host grates on me!

Disagree, I thought the commentary was good, especially Hargreaves who was excellent. The studio was, however, peopled by wankers.

Punditry was shite. They had written off our new signings and stuck the boot in about Europe within 5 minutes of the show starting.

The commentary by Ian Darke and particularly Owen Hargreaves was pretty decent though to be fair.

As long as they don't give that twat Craig Burley a job then they're one step ahead of ESPN already.

I'm worried about that pitch on the side for tactical re-enactment. I've seen a similar thing on al jazeera, and it was without doubt one of the most cringeworthy things I've ever seen. The punditry was awful. Owen and Mcmananamamanamanamanam can hardly construct a sentence between the two of them.

No but if they insist on sick-note and mcpointy then it's hardly going to be much of an improvement and David James is better off sticking to painting

Seemed very amateurish, punditry was totaly shite, Owen and macpointalot acted like children.

Commentary wasn't much better, seemed un-rehearsed and un-planned, Hargreaves was making comments on things 10 minutes after it had happened it took him that long to think of something to say.

I thought I had tuned into Liverpool TV when I saw who they had in the studio.

And David James is dull dull dull!

Michael Owen is a bridge too far but Hargreaves was quite good in commentary. Neither him, Macca, or James included City in their build-up bios, which was a relief.

Didn't like it at all. Owen is hideous, Mcmannaman no better and David James........awful.

Surely there are better people out there. Does amaze me how pretty much anyone will slag city off these days. They were slagging the signings off before they've even seen them.
