The turtle

Far too much premier league privilege tonight.

When one of the best sides in the world gets the rub (non pen, non free kicks, unlucky own goal) of the green Doesn't exactly make a cup upset easy It's been a very positive performance however. Use this has a spring board to bigger and better things. Its all there. (Truly couldn't see the day I'd write that in mid December)

Good shouts, both are so good at the sense of occasion.

One of the greatest jobs in football. One of the most difficult jobs in football. Not one of them universally loved, yet all the soundtrack to TV and radio football life. But who do you most enjoy? For me personally, it's peter drury. His story on how he came to "roma have risen from their ruins" well it makes the commentary even more mythical. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoXtR9Aj6yZ/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= However, i get it, he won't be to everyone's taste. So,who is your favourite current commentator, and why?

Adios to the city kit I disliked more than any kit. Glad and happy it's gone.

You are my living hero , would give this a million likes

Nah me going to millwall (first game of season after being too sick for wba) My presence leaving it's mark, that was the true true turning point. Literally unbeaten since

Even he's grown up from that. Quite easy to listen to now his sole isn't to get you to call in

More then a few of my favourite city memories were under GJ. What a ride that was. One of the few times i can remember where the players, manager and club were truly as one. It was a special period. Never forget just how much trouble we were in when he first came in, then quite a few winless at first too. There was a before xmas red& White night (Huddersfield maybe?) where the club was simply desperate for a win. (For me personally i always remember the depressing circle. Starting with Bradford at home, FT 7th or 8th defeat in a row.. windass gives the going down sign to the atyeo, from that moment i truly hated him with every inch of passion; wembley was a chance for revenge in my eye; it just had to be him with a worldy didn't it) - NB some things above may be a bit off due to memory. Anyone wonderful memories. Amazing period, man is legend

At first i thought this thread was a joke. Then began to realise it's real

Thanks all. Ill check out all things advised

I may be being dramatic Enough to be offputting much better worded

Sure this can be merged elsewhere, but I couldn't find the typical bctv thread. Does anyone else have issie with the pictures v sound. For weeks now the commentators are telling me what's going to happen 1-2 seconds before it actually happens. It's to the point at times you can hear goal celebrations before the ball is in. Is this just a general issue or something i can change in settings (not literally the delay but the cause)?

I may have only been 9 but i knew the difference between right and wrong ? I was 4/5years into city life. (As a child I didn't like Keith welch because he replaced leaning) I argued over and over why i should go to the game. But, no. So absolutely either took/found a radio The funny thing, when the other parents told my dad what I'd done, he wasn't even angry; more a faint proud look if anything ............ 7 years old what i time to follow football. Lucky him; he's in for life now and nothing he can do about it. We go, we watch, we fall in love and not a damn thing can do about it.

Same here: the first game was the same day as my best friends birthday party , i was fuming my dad made me go to the party. Needless to say i sat in the corner listening to radio the whole of first game ... Anfield i just remember listening at home with my dad, going absolutely crazy twice. The time between goal and FT felt like an eternity

Point of curiosity: did you really have to pay to see the 2nd game if had ticket for first (as commentator said) even at reduced prices? Seems crazy to me. Or have i misunderstood that ?

Chiefs at 5 in a row in this round, no team has ever done 4. It's the arrowhead invitational now(as nick Wright calls it)

I suspect it was more to do with aound mics today than anything else. It happens some games. It can be really hard to tell what the atmosphere is actually like

Not sure if it's sound mic, TV , or perception, but it sounds beyond quiet today. About the only thing can hear is the buzz of conversation. Has the move been less effective today?

Once said something negative about England, the anybody but line. Bla bla bla And that was it game over. As always we want refreshing honestly, get it and cue the Lifetime dislike.

The very match that frustrated them. The club were said to be deeply unimpressed with the state of the pitch following that game. This came up because on sky they were saying how unusual it is to see such a poor pitch in the premier league, then went on to talk about how Brentford had stated they weren't happy either. N.B. I've looked on the mighty Google and not a mention of it, so make of that what you will.

They (the club) are seriously annoyed about the state of the pitch Though

Holiday last year

I thought it came through on tv really clearly
