Ah, that's one way to end your tv career. Thanks for letting me know.
Micah Richards - The Pundit

It's clueless isn't it.
He might have 50 more years to live and had no guarantee he'd land a plum pundit job.
So it'd be beyond foolish to write off his final contract on huge money.
Zabaleta ? Fan favorite and almost retired if not. Speaks well on most stuff I've seen him on.
This. So annoying
I don’t like him, could put up with his shit punditry, most of the pundits just talk crap for headlines or drama and even his over the top obvious biasedness but he just appears to have a smug big headedness about him and that fake laugh, nah
If Sky can broadcast each game on a separate channel with the crowd noise muted, can't they do the same with Micah Richards?

Brilliant. There's a follow-on to it as well during the ad break.

I actually don't mind him, he is a good laugh. Redknapp knew Keane was coming for him haha.
He's awful. Manages to talk too much and yet say absolutely nothing.
He's not the worst. Sol Campbell is the worst by far.
All true!
In all seriousness, though, Joe Hart and Zabaleta have been on before and both weren’t terrible. Is Shaun Wright-Phillips still knocking about? Gareth Barry? Niall Quinn is pretty okay when doing punditry.
Literally anybody but Richards at this stage!
He mugged them, end of. Nothing else more to say

Top bloke!
I was wondering why Simon Cowell in Football discussion then quickly realised he was Roy Keane ....
I'm warming to him, seems like a genuinely nice bloke
Can't tell if Keane secretly likes him or wants to strangle him.
He's been great ever since he first burst onto the punditry scene.
Niall quinn is one of the worst

Waste of space
Think he’s class
I find him very likeable to be honest. Similar to Evra, he's great when on with Keane
He's a fun guy, but not someone I'm interested in listening to for analysis. He gets torn to shreds on the CBS Sports panel during the CL. Literally everyone including the host has a pop at him and he laughs it off. He's just a giant punching bag on there.
Its the former but he tries his hardest to make it look like the latter. They have a little double act going on.
I like him, he's entertaining.
Shockingly poor and I suspect a level of tokenism......
He's easier to appreciate than the (big) list of equally vacuous pundits who just happen to be more serious.
They have to have at least one ex City player
At least....
He’s a rubbish pundit but seems like quite a nice guy. Listening to him is like white noise, sometimes I just mute my TV and turn my tower fan on next to me and you can barely tell the difference.
Honestly think he offers the least out of all the pundits, but is likable and all that
He’s thick as pig sh**. Also ridiculously biased towards city, just a generally awful pundit.
I don’t think there’s any bad blood between Keane and Richards, and that “burst onto the scene” thing was more changing room banter that all these pundits are well versed in. As such, you’re getting your knickers in a twist over nothing.
Can't help but like him personally. I agree i find his opinions biased to suit the teams he prefers but i thought it was absolutely hysterical when he was gut wrench laughing at Roy Keane begrudgingly nodding at allowing the Villa players to celebrate staying up.
They're definitely looking at this angle both on anti racism and sexism grounds but i think Micah is just a unique character and an actual Man City ex player.
They need a few to balance out the traditional big teams.
A superb foil to Keane in so many ways.
He has a real future.
Insightful comments aren't why we have top name ex pros.
I like him but then I like Mcmanaman, Keane, Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves.
I like Mcmanaman because he seems like a decent normal bloke.
I like Keane because he’s gloriously bitter
I like Owen because he's wonderfully vapid
What I like about Hargreaves is how he lavishes the most ridiculously over the top praise on pretty much every player in a tone of total disgust
I think Richards fits into this type of pundit group perfectly.

Micah Richards is hardly a top name.
I haven't actually seen his punditry. All the clips just have him laughing.
By retired Man City player standards he is
