I've always liked Manish as a host on MOTD, so good to see him back. Like Nedum Onuoha as a pundit as well, he's more educated than the average footballer and it shows.

I used to love the lower league round up on the BBC with Manish and his nice shirts. Show the action, a few considered words from Leroy Rosenior and bang, on to the next one.

Perfect.

I had something called The Football Show on Sky this morning and they only showed our penalty but showed both Burnley's goals.

I saw that Clampy but genuinely think it was a cock-up by the production team rather than a deliberate slight towards us.

Could also be a Burnley fan on work experience though.

Onuoha went to Hulme Grammar School, Oldham, -  eight grade 'A's' and two 'B's' at GCSE. He then studied for A-Levels at Xaverian College Manchester - three 'A' grades at A-level in Maths, Business Studies and IT; and completed his education by studying part-time to earn an accountancy degree at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Clearly a cut above the usual pundit - and it shows.

Agreed. He’s good on the Guardian football pod.

Does grammar school count as private?

My sister went and we didn’t have a pot to piss in.

Their website says its £13,000 annually. I'm guessing he would have gone there 20 years ago though, so no idea whether that was the case then.

Hulme Grammar is a private school. Not all grammar schools are though.

I'd say most people would understand a grammar school to be selective entry and state funded. Otherwise it's just an independent school that's chosen to have or retain 'grammar' in it's name.

But despite the filthy privilege I'd also say Nedum O's one of the better pundits, though that's not saying a lot.

He's easily one of the best pundits on that pod in my opinion.

Probably not too hard to be. Some of their contributors are very much make it up at 5am on the back of a cigarette packet.

It disproves the theory Micah is only there to "fill a quota". There are clearly better black pundits out there than him, I just think Micah is there for the TikTok twats.
