grifty Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 For a start it's nice to see us getting a bit more recognition, ad Claridge has actually said some nice things... but does anyone else despise Mark Clemmit has much as I do? He's the biggest brown-noser and most the managers seem awkward around him. His stupid 10 minute reports about the kitmans job at Torquay is mundane enough, but to put that bald headed loser in front of a Tv, trying to make jokes which no-one laughs at is cringeworthy. Example no.1 - Mike Ashley walking up towards his seat - 'Clem' says "nervous Mike?", "Nah" he replies, "Really....????" Ashley looks at him and walks off... Example no.2 - Holloway sitting eating something or talking to someone in th background - 'Clem' does his rave about how funny and amazing and how much in love with Holloway he is, turns round and says "you ok Ollie?", Holloway looks at him, waits a second and says "Yeah, why?" no-one likes him. I hate him. He makes me cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just for some balance, I quite enjoy his cameo reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 No one is as bad as that Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes, it makes my blood boil that she has a job on TV, let alone one about football. (in annoying whiney voice) "I've got an email from Dave in Leicester and he says 'Go Foxes!'. Then i got an email from Kevin in Swansea who says 'I hope Swansea win today- i'm a Swansea fan'...." STOP YOUR INANE CHATTER WOMAN!!! I refuse to believe that there are no interesting emails sent to that programme, yet every time she talks, she does it in the manner of a 12 year old discussing her Sylvanian Famililes collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single week there is an email that goes like this...... Great win for 'insert team here' why do you never talk about 'insert team here' ever! etc. etc. Also she seems to ask really average questions to claridge from emails they recieve, like last night 'do you think charlie austin will play for england?' How is he supposed to know, he aint bloody Capello! or 'How do you rate Nigel Adkins as a manager?' after they just spent 5 mins before hand discussing that exact subject, use your ears woman!!

BITW Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Agree regarding 'Clem' and Lizzie. However I don't dislike the show like others seem to. City don't get much coverage on there but when you look at it from the nations eyes why would/should we. Newcastle in general are of much more interest to the UK than us. I for one enjoy watching all the goals from the CCC. P.s Claridge is a tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Newcastle in general are of much more interest to the UK than us. We're of more interest to the country than Aldershot, but they receive a roughly equal amount of coverage as us on a Saturday night. BBC doesn't need to be in the ratings business and can afford to provide a more balanced level of coverage over the course of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Well we've all got our own views but mine are that it's a poor quality programme, matched by 2nd rate presenters. Much better, IMO, to catch the goals on SSpts or SSN, and avoid the drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 When he first startexd on BBC, all the other pundits kept using his name in every sentence so we would know WTF he was, a la,"Well Maniche.......I don't know Maniche.......probably Maniche" I started playing Maniche Bingo, guessing how many times he was mentioned in a chat!

cidercity1987 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Three things about the football league show. 1. 'Clem' does a piece on the history of a club every week. I swear he's yet to visit a club south of Birmingham. He lives near Newcastle, are the BBC trying to save on petrol? Amateur. 2. Words don't describe Claridge. Why bother trying to be a pundit if you haven't even seen the game. The perfect example is yesterday saying that Wednesday hammered us for the first 60 minutes. Nice try Claridge but the first half was ours. 3. What's with the gypo type in a City scarve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 One simple suggestion to improve the programme - less talking about it and more showing it. Trade off the dribble in the studio for more highlights from games - City game on Saturday? only 4 moments shown? Eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After every game this season I have e-mailed in with my Name and Team in the subject bar and not once had a message read out (not that she ever reads out city ones anyway) so after i think it was the West Brom game i e-mailed in as usual but this time wrote in the subject bar My name, team and in brackets (who's e-mails you always ignore!) Anyway 5 minutes later i get an e-mail, and its that stuck up bimbo who replied "I DONT IGNORE E-MAILS I AM JUST A VERY BUSY WOMAN!" gotta laugh at that really..

HomerRed Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Dunno if it's my imagination but since Manish moved to Bristol (or revealed the fact) we seem to have got more of a mention, if not more actual match action. Away from the fact that Claridge is at best annoying, it's just not possible for one bloke to comment on 30-odd games with any authority. The laughable thing is he actually tries.

He kept banging on about Millwall scoring in the last minute against Brentford last week when they actually scored on about 75!

Portland Bill Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Theres a brilliant football league weekly podcast ( the coca cola podcast) done by Mark Clemmit. City often get a good mention. "Clem" is the only national tv/radio person that just covers the football league, hes doing fine by me. I presume some on here would rather watch and listen to the likes of Andy Townsend or Richard Keys!! Yawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
