Richard Keys has accused Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola of being a 'disgrace' after an interview he completed following the 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Sunday.
Alexis Mac Allister's penalty for Liverpool cancelled out John Stones' close range finish at Anfield.
Liverpool had the better of the chances in the second half, but couldn't force a winner.

Many argued that they were unfortunate not to be given a penalty after Jeremy Doku's high foot on Mac Allister in injury time, but VAR checked the incident and decided that there was no infringement.
The result left Arsenal top of the Premier League by a single point ahead of Liverpool at the end of the weekend, with City a point further back.
After the game, Guardiola spoke with beIN Sports' Andy Kerr. in which he was asked about the game, the injury suffered by Ederson and a disagreement in the dugout with Kevin De Bruyne after the City star was substituted.

But the interview left Keys, who was anchoring the action for beIN Sports, furious with the City boss - and he made his feelings clear in his latest blog post after the match.

He wrote: "I went on air a little concerned that it [the match] might let us down - as so many big games have recently - but there was no need to worry.
"Everyone gave everything they'd got - except for Pep Guardiola post-match - again. What is it with this guy?"
Keys then accused Guardiola of being 'plain rude' to the reporter, before adding: "If I'd have been Kerr, I'd have shut the interview down and walked away. And I told him as much afterwards.
"Guardiola was a disgrace. He couldn't be bothered, he offered nothing - just one word answers and a daft smile. He looked at Kerr like he was a piece of s**t on his shoe.

"Here's the thing Senor Guardiola," he claimed. "We're all trying to do a job - just like you. Nobody, whilst doing that job, deserves to be ridiculed by you. Andy Kerr deserved better Sunday, not because you have a contractual obligation to speak to him - but because you have a moral obligation to treat him - and others - with manners and respect.
"I could understand Guardiola's attitude a little more if the pen had been given. If City had been beaten. If frustration had got the better of him - but none of those things applied."
