"Micah Richards Calls Out Mark Chapman’s Wardrobe Choices as Thomas Frank Stands Up for the BBC Host"

MICAH RICHARDS stuck it on BBC host Mark Chapman for his daring outfit choice during Saturday’s World Cup coverage.

Fan-favourite Chappers rocked up to the studio in an eye-catching black button-down shirt covered in a red feather print.

And pundit Richards was never going to let it lie.

The former defender jumped in with: “Let’s address the elephant in the room first. The shirt! It’s fancy for you, Chappers.”

But fellow analyst leapt to Chapman’s defence.

He interrupted Richards to say: “I think it’s fantastic.”

But that was not enough to throw the ex-Manchester City man off his stride.

Richards continued: “Where are you going, Miami? New York? You’re not going there for radio. We’re not there yet!”

The BBC have opted to do the bulk of their broadcasting from a state-of-the-art studio in , while rivals have a glitzy venue in New York.

With a playful nod to that, Chappers looked around at the projector screen showing a fake American background behind him and said: “I think it’s a lovely Saturday afternoon here in… Houston?

“And I thought I’d just keep the vibe. Is that alright? Can I talk now?”

Richards finally backed down as Chapman referred to Frank and Lionesses legend Ellen White – the other two on the punditry panel – as his “favourites”.
