Ah, neutral unbiased commentary. lets see you get that in a city game these days. One match i watched abroad with English commentators was 90 minutes of bile and hatred against man city.
Thankfully with a red card for preventing a certain goal scoring opportunity, the 'Alex Stepney Block' is now redundant. Nevertheless, Franny Lee obliged but I did watch a Liverpool game where Phil Thompson handled on the line to prevent the goal, followed by Ray Clemence saving the penalty! This was the last time City were Champions, but I think the wait is gonna end sooner rather than layer.
