you can tell from the CBS coverage Carragher is a true football obsessive, whereas I think Neville doesn’t pay much attention outside Utd and England

I got the James Milner one quickly. You'd want Carragher on your team for football trivia night.
Wish someone at the club had the balls to ban this ABU wanker from Old Trafford.
He obviously loves United, but just jumps on every negative thing about United and spins it at the end about the Glazers.
It's tiresome. I like The Overlap, but I wish Sky only hired ex managers or even actual sports analysts or something.
Every weekend it's like watching Fan TV.

Thats what sky wants. It's why they have youtube fans on the overlap and why they have them on that Saturday social thing. It's why they're always pitting Neville and Carragher in United v Liverpool arguments and why Keane is there. Souness mentioned that the people in the studio are always checking twitter to see if they go viral during the post match reactions and it shows in their discussions.
What goes viral more often: sober and accurate analysis or angry rants?
Yeah and I totally get it. They pay so much in rights, they need to appeal to the masses, which these days means more drama and exaggerated, biased, analysis and narratives.
I used to watch the build-ups and post match. Now I switch over at like 4.29pm and turn off after the game so I don't have to suffer idiots like Daniel Sturridge or Theo Walcott for too long.
I can imagine myself watching with the sound off in a few years. I wish you could toggle commentary like subtitles.
Yeah I agree. I'd probably prefer no commentary on BT/TMT but sky isn't too bad (mostly). I don't watch the pre or post match stuff either. When it comes to actual match analysis, I just go to Tifo, Jonathan Wilson or the athletic.
He's insufferable. I try and find another stream when he commentates on our games. He makes what should be a fun past time (watching footy) unenjoyable.
State of this gooner.
eh?
Gary is definitely an Arsenal fan.
He’s a coward. Desperately wants to be seen objective to the point where he would bend over if need be to start licking rivals arse. Bows down to the pressure of rival fans. Scared to say the right things.
How's he saying that isn't handball?! Has he been living under a rock under the last 5 years?
harsh if you're a spurs fan, want it given if you're an Arsenal fan
What is with this “ooohhhhhh” every time something happens?
Spurs fan today
How has he managed an almost 20 year career if he still doesn’t know what a handball is. That penalty was as clear as they come.
Gary has argued against a few obvious decisions this season and he makes it worse by going on and on about it.
It’s his version of ‘and it’s live!’.
For the gram, or whatever social media platform is in these days
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I wonder at what stage of commentary school do they teach you that one.

I don’t mind him but this is doing my head in
Wasn't a handball when Romero did the same thing against us so...
Yeah but we were being punished for the Onana incident v Wolves
Exactly.
Don't think I've hated a commentator as much as this prat now that I have to listen to him regularly on my feed.
Where have you been for a decade
i'll never understand why our fans get so wound up by him, amazes me. Top bloke imo.
He talks and acts like a top bloke but if you look a little closer you’ll see he’s a dickhead. Showed his true colours in Qatar during the World Cup
That wasnt great, i agree. He's done some good stuff though and is a good voice imo, his support for the NHS during COVID being one.
He's painful to listen to.
I get that some folk are irritated by him and his type, but to suggest the man, who has done more for our club that anyone on here, doesn’t love United is genuinely puzzling to me.
I like him as a pundit. He knows a lot about the game and seems down to earth. I much prefer him in the studio than in the commentary box though as he comes out with the odd howler in-game.
Some fans just assume other people are biased if they disagree at all about football. Martin Tyler was accused of being biased against every top 6 PL club by that clubs fans and so is just about every ref and major journalists.
I like him as a pundit and his interviews are good, I just can’t stand him on commentary.
On the international feed.
I think going against your club to further your career rubs a lot of fans up the wrong way. It doesn’t hurt Jamie or Micah but here we are with Gary.
Well im sorry that i wasnt able to qualify for RB at Man Utd because i was too fat unlike the LB position for Shaw
Hate the way he stresses the word 'there" to try and make it a thing.
