I didn’t watch the CL final but watched the aftermath. Joe Cole was full of it as you would expect. Lescott looked stunned but Rio made me want to puke. First he thanks Lineker for all he has done for BT and him personally as Lineker is leaving BT. Then he went in about how City were a well run respected club and would be back to win it (the CL) next season or something. Arse licking at its worse. Very disappointed in Rio.

Who cares
Disappointed in someone doing their job? He’s there to be a pundit, not a supporter of any specific club.
And despite how they got to this level, City are one of the best run clubs in the world.
Ffs
Next time I burn my toast I might make a thread moaning about it

If you could please. And link it to United's decline.
This forum has reached new lows since Wednesday night.
Also don’t forget to post the pic of Rojo’s burnt toast in order to compare.
There's no excuse for burnt toast.
Chelsea fans would never accept burnt toast. They'd chuck the toaster out and have a new one by Argos same day delivery by 7pm that night.
It's because of "fans" like you that we're in this mess.
Didn’t think it was possible.
You have to accept the realities of main stream media my friend. The personalities that appear on channels like BT, sky or even the bbc will rarely have similar reactions to a fan like you or me. Their primary focus is keeping their sponsors and stakeholders happy. That's why fan channels have become so popular. Rio is only saying what he thinks his audience/bosses want to hear. Very few TV pundits worth listening to and Rio is not one of them for me.
basically you are mad at another person for being polite
I thought they'd retain the services of the distinctional appliance and loan it out to Italy where they don't eat toast that much anyway.
Really like Rio on camera. Very collected and to the point in his interactions.
Did you think he was going to say
"I'm glad you're off as some bitter people on forums don't like you"
And then say
"City are an oil team who have illegitimately funded their rise from nowhere, and shouldn't be given any praise at all".
If you do, you're probably not thinking things through very carefully.
Marcos?
Rio is one of the best pundits out there. This thread is embarrassing
Thanking Lineker seemed genuine, I'm sure they're mates and Gary was helpful to Rio.
Rio prefers Pepsi to Coke.
Disgraceful
Disgraceful
I'm embarrassed that I ever posted in this thread tbh.
Moaning about it, showing it off on social media. What’s the difference?!
Seriously what’s with the flurry of embarrassing threads today?
Minority here probably, but I like Lineker. You'll realise how bad hosts are when he's replaced.
I assumed Lineker was pretty much universally liked
What are you on about? Joe Cole was calmness personified and completely neutral in his behaviour.
Don't believe me? Check for yourself.

My first job was working in comet. Quinton Fortune once came in and bought a dyson vacuum. I carried it to his car for him, and the outrage, he only gave me £20 for doing so. If only Id had the forum back then
Bloody hell we have some absolute babies on here don't we. Some on here literally go out of their way to get wound up it is bonkers. The suns out, go outside.
*Old man yells at cloud*
Rio Rioooo
Pretty poisonous thread, no need.
He's obviously biased but I thought Joe was great except for one minor point where he tried to make Abramovich seem like Ken Bates
Where is the surprise OP? The British press, pundits, and generally the football community seems to have completely accepted City and their “business model”.
You see the occasional dissident voice from someone like Jonathan Wilson in the Guardian but the rest are absolutely in love with City and their owners.

Before you do though post something on the Caf about it. I dunno like;
"Did Henderson wearing a cap in the sun ruin the defences rhythm"
i mean u can write long pointless paragraphs and vent your frustrations but dont hit the post button, just delete the draft and go on with your day..
Rio's personal thanks to Gary came across as very sincere.
Yeah, that’s what makes it worse. They are a brilliantly run club. They and Bayern are set up to dominate for years. It’s not as though they have gone out and bought the worlds greatest players either. They bought well and made them better. Sickening.
Rio is a Red... enough said 
Thread going nowhere. Close Shutters.
