Clive Tyldesley has reaffirmed his belief that Sky Sports’ pre-match coverage of Sunday’s Manchester derby was poor by taking another dig at the broadcaster on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the commentator let it be known that he was left unimpressed with their use of an ‘urban poet’ in Manchester-born rapper Tays.<\/p>\n
Seen wearing a Manchester City shirt, Tays raps over a beat about his club’s recent dominance over bitter rivals Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Walking around the city, Tays boasts why Manchester ‘is blue’ – reeling off the club’s three successive Premier League titles as well as last season’s emphatic Treble success.<\/p>\n
It led to Tyldesley, 69, taking to X, formerly Twitter, though posting his unflattering opinion of the song.<\/p>\n

‘This City’s staying blue,’ said Tays during the clip posted by Sky Sports Premier League<\/p>\n

‘Anyone else that could manage to watch a big football match without an overture from an urban poet now?’ he posted.<\/p>\n
And on Monday, the commentator doubled down on his thoughts by pushing it forward with a tongue-in-cheek post – referencing his preference for legendary UK rapper Mike Skinner of ‘The Streets’.<\/p>\n
‘More of a Mike Skinner man myself. Original pirate material…’ he wrote, accompanied by a wink emoji.<\/p>\n
The artist is good friends with fellow Northern music icon, Aitch, having been pictured at the Pride of Britain Awards alongside each other earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Aitch is known for being a diehard Manchester United fan, the two put their rivalries aside for friendship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the rap, Tays mentions City’s journey from Maine Road, the home of Pep Guardiola’s club until 2003, to the Etihad Stadium, ending his rap on: ‘This City’s staying blue.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
In similar coverage, Sky Sports also posted a clip of Aitch and Marcus Rashford, with the young rapper joking that\u00a0‘Marcus is going to get me a deal at United soon!<\/p>\n
Manchester United went on to suffer a damning 3-0 home defeat, having now lost half of their opening 10 matches of this season’s campaign.<\/p>\n
For City, they sit third in the Premier League on 24 points – two behind table-toppers Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
