Yeah that was weird as feck.
Gary Neville
- Thread starter jymufc20
- Start date
He was always known as a snivelling little fecker as a player, its why he was so good at his job.
He's just pissed off we're finally moving in the right direction and moving away from his Manchester United.

Best thing Ronaldo done this spell was ignore this twat
Mr Non-Bias sounds more like a younger Souness when he's allowed near our games

He said it was a foulAgain, blaming DDG for getting clattered by Pulisic

He was weird about this, talking about ddg having a kick out hence the Chelsea player reaction then seeing a replay and going, oh it's just a push.
What?
I like him as a pundit, but he's an atrocious commentator especially for united games.
Why are you getting so worked up with this guy. Trying to stay relevant.
The vitriol towards him in this thread seems a bit over the top tbh.
That was hilarious. He made out Felix was special and brilliant every time he plays without realising he’s actually been very unproductive for Chelsea all season to the point they don’t want to keep him.
I got the feeling he was enjoying Lampard’s misery which might stem from their playing days.
Asking his colleague whether Chelsea have an option for Felix. Bore off!
It's standard Neville terrified of coming across as biased and instead wanting to be seen as the ultimate balanced professional so everytime he says something good he has to follow it up with a near insult
He's becoming more and more cringe.
Guy needs a mini retirement.
He does ask the tough questions other pundits are afraid to ask, is croissant bread or pastry? it's almost poetic.
I'd be interested to know what he's intending to do with the answer.
I had to answer a quiz question about croissants on a team building thingy with work yesterday. What country invented the croissant? (no googling)
Vienna, Austria. Also something I learnt at a pub quiz.

Dead to me again
Think I've said this before, but I'll say it again - It is kind of mad that a fairly understated Right Back who when he was playing probably was unknown to most people who didn't follow football - is now basically a household name in the UK.
Exactly…still my first reaction whenever I see any Neville news unrelated to football. The fact that I have friends who could not give a toss about football know who he is astounds me.
He's played it well to be fair, he leans into controversy and anything that'll go viral. That mini-retirement lark was definitely just attention seeking and everyone seems to have given him what he wants.
I'm just waiting to see if he actually moves into politics.
Micah has done very well for himself post-football to be fair (but then he's quite the personality... which I'm not sure you could say about G.Nev) - but I still think it's very much sport-centric.
I don't think the old lady who sits behind me in the office knows who Micah is, but she definitely knows who Neville is.
Try bursting into the office, laughing in an over the top way and then say "you don't know where I'm from dog"
Not when you consider Jermain Jenas, a significantly less famous and successful footballer, presents the one show.
Neville was part of the treble team, an England regular and also one of the leaders of that England player revolt. He was probably already pretty widely known before he retired tbf.
Jenas is even more of a mystery considering he's a complete vacuum of a man.
Also, I'm always surprised how little people who don't follow football actually know - even when it comes to England players. For example I bet most wouldn't have a clue who Luke Shaw is despite him being England's left back for like 5 years now.
If a personality is defined by laughing loud, sure.
Bit harsh - if you watch him on CBS, MOTD Podcast or the stuff he's done with Keane he's a lot more then just a laugh.
Not sure why Micah is quite the personality and Neville isn’t? Micah is a lot of fun in the studio and has an infectious laugh and laid back attitude but Neville has the ability to articulate himself very well and connect with people on that topic - not everyone has that and it’s why he’s such a prominent pundit. That’s part of personality. Just like Keanos dominant presence, sharp critique and wit is.
Nah, Neville has been abit of a household name for sometime just through his association with Beckham.
I've seen plenty of him, he's just a loud, uninteresting person. I'm not a fan of Neville by any stretch of the imagination, but he tries to articulate his points and has a lot more "depth" to him than Richards does.
I like Micah but yeah, Neville is far more articulate and engaging.
"I can't invest in you......at this moment in time."
When someone walks in having invented a car that runs on water
"oooooooooohhhhh... Unbelievable"
I think he's hinted that's the aim. He's been acting like a politician for a while now so it won't be much different - you just feign outrage at any 'hot' topics, remind people you're just a 'lad from Manchester' to associate yourself with the people whilst . I'm not quite sure the value he brings to Dragons Den though, he's started businesses from a position of extreme wealth - it's unlikely there will be a hopeful start up pitching buying a football club, a hotel or luxury property development and that's where his network will be. Get your bets in as to when he first name drops David Beckham as a business partner.
Nah, before Sky Sports, no one outside of football knew Neville even if he was Beckham’s best man.
I think the long injury lay offs for Neville and Jenas have them the time to set up their media career.
