If anyone didn’t know why Neville gets so much ire, this is Bruno supposedly wanting to come off.
Neville is just an arse - a hystodrama twat that wants to continuously create drama and controversy around the club. Who can’t quite seem to give the team any credit when they’re playing. The sooner he’s commentating on games that aren’t ours the better.
Was absolute nonsense and all it's done is whip up a frenzy. Helps nobody.
Yeah, it was fair game. Neville and Keane were smug before the game and then lost 7-0. Of course Souness was going to have some fun with them after the game.
He's a better pundit than commentator. Especially for united games. He is atrocious and overreacts and goes way OTT like the Shaw thing, Bruno wanting to be subbed off (nothing to indicate that at all).
He's a fan and obviously has gripes (and that result would have hurt him as much as most here) but he just adds things that aren't necessary. Like seeing taa pulling on Shaw's shirt near the end and pretty much claiming it could be a penalty. His ott reaction to mctominay where even carragher has to defend mctominay.
Souness wound him up and he fell for it

If there’s no video evidence or anybody seeing the same thing then Gary owes Bruno an apology and should never commentate on our gamer shin
Yeah, I'm struggling to see where Bruno wants to come off.
He's a pretty shit pundit for our games. I still can't forget the whole 'silent domination' shite he came out with when we beat City a years ago and Rooney didn't move.
Neville (and Carragher) were genuinely refreshing when they first came onto the scene in...2011 I think, and provided that in depth analysis in MNF. They've become a victim of their own success now and they're fully invested in the constant drama that has to be a part of the narrative of the PL that Sky want to shit out.
Yesterday was embarrassing. He made out it was a shocking tackle by McTominay and that he was trying to hurt the player and knew what he was doing having his foot high. It was so cringe. Even Carragher had to jump in and suggest there wasn’t any intent.
Even when Bruno went down (yes I know he dives and moans a lot) but Neville calling it a disgrace him holding his face when he was pushed in the chest. You can see on the replay he did catch his chin/mouth.
I genuinely think he was trying to make a (barely coherent) joke about Bruno wanting to get subbed off.
As disgraceful as Bruno's performance was yesterday (he should be bollocked and dropped for the next game) Neville needs to clarify this, as it's out of order to essentially make something as controversial up like that up about a player and allow people to believe it, which they certainly will.

First time I’ve seen this. That’s a load of bollocks. Neville has made a desperate attempt to stick one in on Bruno from that. There’s absolutely zero suggestion that he’s asking to be taken off.
In fact, having seen it it looks more like the sub was coming on but the players weren’t sure who it was for. You can see the delay before Rashford starts making his way off. If anything the Bruno gesture suggests “Who is coming off?” as he looks around.
Can’t believe Neville has made a drama out of that when listening to it live.
I get what you're saying, when it comes to us , he's too emotional and it really feels like the matchday thread at timesHe's a pretty shit pundit for our games. I still can't forget the whole 'silent domination' shite he came out with when we beat City a years ago and Rooney didn't move.

he's better when he composes himself and has time to analyse. I think a problem with him was also the difference in how he analysed us when Ole was in charge (and lesser extent Moyes as he was picked by fergie and still has some of his teammates) compared to other managers.
It's funny cos with Bruno, there is every reason to criticise him for the way he chases refs, goes down, or yesterday how he kicked the Liverpool player and then just stopped and let him go. Having to make things up just dilutes anything good
I get you on the drama part that sky sports has become.
Poor bloke
What a complete disgrace he was on commentary yesterday. Suggesting Bruno wanted to be subbed is actually slander.
We'll doubtless hear next few days rumours of what has really gone on.
As if he will. Also claimed that McTominay meant it.
Yet people don’t like it when Neville
is criticised.
I interpreted it as a "hurry the feck up" gesture to the ref. Either way, interpreting it as him demanding to be subbed is mental.
You get the impression that pundits like Neville invested so much emotional energy defending Ole that he's been desperate to find any way possible to criticise the club/team/manager/players since Ole got the sack. That persistent negativity has been a real feature of his commentary this season and it's tedious as feck. You could put intermittent negativity down to normal fan frustrations in previous seasons but it feels much more like an agenda now.
Salford aren’t playing until Friday night either so Gary’s going to have to sulk until Thursday
Never mind, Gary, go tweet about Sunak’s government and take your mind off it like you usually do

Just like the rest of us in fairness. I have to put a whole bunch of stuff that comes up for me on YouTube on ignore to avoid seeing more misery.

I was watching this on sky and the commentator did say something about Bruno indicating why was it not him coming off?
or maybe I just confused that with Neville later
That’s because most on the Caf aren’t United through and through.
Neville was the commentator that said it, I've seen loads of people slagging off Bruno for demanding to be subbed but it's just based off what Neville made up
He is a good speaker but I don’t think his insights are that interesting or quality to the point that I go “oh that’s a very good analysis”. Neville says quite a lot of obvious things but in an easy way to understand for viewers.
Thierry Henry I think is a much better analyst of the game, his insights are much more interesting.

Nothing new about it. Him overly criticizing United players while ignoring same stuff from other teams is not new. Him going overboard with his criticism and taking it to a personal level is also not really shocking.
His commentary for our game is something that I would really like to avoid. It is like Webb refereeing in his final years. After being called out as United's 12th man for years, he tried to rectify it by ignoring blatant fouls on our players and penalty shouts, in his later years.

His habit of repeating the last few words of every sentence twice to try and come across as intelligent is really annoying.
It was Neville commentating on Sky who mentioned it first. To be honest, I think he's the only one mentioning it. No one else seemed to say anything.
I have seen us take some humiliations in recent seasons. Saw Spurs come to Old Trafford and score six. Saw Liverpool score five. Then four in the next game etc.
Every time Gary Neville was able to overlook the errors of players like Maguire and Shaw. Yet, all of a sudden, he's throwing s-t at Bruno.
Gary Neville has his favourites. Usually the players he's worked with as a coach. As you can see from him bending over backwards to justify Harry Kane trying to set his own price tag.
With these he will rarely, if ever, admit any fault. Everyone else is fair game though. It's sad to see his biases play out in real time.

Fair enough.
Utter wanker spreading fake news live on commentary.
Am finding his commentary pretty nauseating these days. Seems every match he singles out our players calling for them to be booked or sent off. Always calls goals as offside if it's close and sounds pretty miffed if its given. Also seems to over exaggerate any incident in a negative way for us. Called us out for time wasting yesterday when Liverpool did exactly the same. Not forgetting the goal Rashford scored against Arsenal which was met with silence and then a dejected sounding oh. Feels like he's got an agenda to set and his comments are being fed straight into that VAR room. Was calling for Dalot to be booked last week for a pretty mild challenge and belatedly the card came out just after his rant. Just get the feeling some of our ex players are much happier when they can have a dig at us and they've been waiting quite a while this season. It's a relief when he's not commentating on our match and think I might just have to mute him going forward.
I thought it sounded bizarre when Neville claimed Bruno was begging to be subbed off. Everyone knows he hates being subbed and wants to play every minute of every game - to his own detriment at times. Not surprised to learn it's all BS.
As for Bruno's behaviour throughout the game, that's the way he is. People should embrace it because it no doubt pisses off the opposition players and works to our advantage most of the time. Yesterday was a shocker but the way Neville went in on Bruno was the real disgrace.

He's a twat for saying that. It's fine if you don't like a player, but fuelling the fire when what you've said isn't even true is completely irresponsible.
Stirring up controversy and talking points for the sake of it
One unrelated question, why do you sign on to a rival team website? There are only few reasons behind it and all comes out as bad reasons.
He's been at it all season, with Bruno especially.
Yesterday was a new low. He tried to act like we should have had three sending offs (Shaw, Bruno, McTominay) and a penalty against us (Shaw vs Firmino). Just lunacy...totally detatched from reality. That's before you even get to him repeatedly accusing our players of cheating/timewasting or making up the Bruno stuff.
Genuinely not a match goes by where he doesn't act like one of our players has intentionally tried to 'do' somebody and got away with it, hammered our players (usually Bruno) for trying to con referees and generally just giving baffling takes on refereeing decisions.
Couldn't care less about him having a view on performances, that's his job. Ditto with the pantomime stuff in the studio. But the narrative setting that he does is actively damaging to the club.
His Bruno derangement yesterday was based on two lies ("he's dived again... that's embarrassing he didn't even touch his face" + "Bruno's demanding to be subbed. I can't believe what I'm seeing, that's disgraceful") followed by massively overdramatising the whole 'he's shoved the linesman! Disgusting!' thing. It's effectively declared open season on Bruno in the press today which is unsettling to not just our captain but the club in general.
Also guarantee he's actively cost us a stack of decisions by acting like we're a team of cheats who benefit from refereeing calls every game. Human nature that referees/journalists will be influenced by hearing it every week.

This is the lowest he's sunk to - I honestly think so little of him these days.
He got too emotional yesterday, understandable with Souness and Carragher being sneering twats next to him, but he can't be slandering a player like that. Bruno was a disgrace yesterday but not for that reason.
Neville has always been an idiot, and I’ve always hated his coverage of our games. People care more/suddenly now as this is Bruno - but he did the same thing regarding Pogba away at Wolves when we drew. He dedicated about 15 minutes post-match to a made up theory that Pogba had ‘typically and selfishly’ taken a penalty away from Marcus Rashford. In fact, he quickly retracted and said Pogba was likely the penalty taker, then proceeded anyway in the name of a hypothetical scenario in which he wasn’t.
He’s extremely negative towards us and does more than any other pundit and spreading negative sentiment about us. He exaggerates everything in the extreme and is generally a prick who even despite the scope of his job, is over-opinionated and thinks he knows everything about everything.
He should apologise to Bruno. Just as he should have apologised to Pogba, which more people would have probably seen at the time if Pogba was not permanently fair game for any form of attack.
