Micah Richards on almost joining Spurs, blocking his agent and love for pasta

Speaking on the Football Daily, Micah Richards speaks about how he almost joined Spurs before blocking his agent after ringing him 20 times. The former Man City defender then talks about how his move to ACF Fiorentina came to fruition including an interesting love for pasta.

[@anthonybyne2724]

Over the age of 24 years old, he only played 69 games. That's crazy!

Got a 50k a week contract at 18

Liking Micah as a pundit, seems a good lad

[@PacManPark]

he's a terrible pundit... offers no real insights and just defends his lads at Man City. No fresh perspective. Stealing a living on the telly like he did at Villa for 4 years

[@BigBoss-ti1wo]

Can someone tell me what the guy in the white top said to Micah at 3:05 - I heard "sooo ***** ", then he apologises. I cant make it out fully??

He said something racist i don't repeat it

[@shussey1446]

He didn’t say so he said sorry as in sorry let me just stop you there because he thought what Micah was saying about pasta was ridiculous and funny.

[@markjones2872]

Hainey getting his face about

[@jamesfoley4832]

I will be honest, when he first started as a pundit I though sky filling quotas again. However, having watched and listened to him he sounds like a great lad, the ying to Keane yang. I really enjoy his stuff now. He actually exudes a really good personality / vibe that other pundits like Jenas, Phill Neville, Glen Johnson seem to lack in droves.

[@adambritain5774]

He got the job literally because he is black, but you've got to take your hat off to him; he's made a great job of the opportunity he was afforded. No-one has a bad word to say about him.

[@007Fusiion]

I always find that approach interesting. So sky can employ a 1000 white guys and it’s never questioned as ‘odd’.

[@jmanutd1311]

@@adambritain5774 he got the job because he’s black? Loooool he’s a PL winner and he’s took career path as a pundit and your saying he was “afforded” an opportunity. What is the difference between him and Carragher. Your hilarious 😂

Thankfully he didn't sign for Spurs. Injury liability.

[@SciSciToys]

Over the 4th offical and Webo and Demba Ba unlike many he hasnt demonised the 4th official and said he doesnt know what happened, and he is smart cause Webo apparently racially abused the Romanian 4th official and so many want the poor official banned, sacked when the guy is fragile he tried to commit suicide years ago and said I just try to be a good person, Webo and Demba Ba should be BANNED for life!!! MIcah is a good black guy who doesnt cry racist at the smallest opportunity, John Barnes also is on the 4th official's side which surprised me.
