He is the only pundit on TV who acts like he is not blindly in love for the team he spent his career playing and which he should be supporting. I mean, the Sky literally appoints ex players from City, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc. for those same reasons, so those same ex players can glorify those teams they've played for, and yet the biggest one club legend from them all is desperate to do exactly the opposite, he undermines anything his own club does, and he calls captain of that club as disgrace because he moans on the pitch.
But yeah, it's people who don't understand that that are weird, not him.
