Gary Neville

Love Neville but I hate listening to him commentate on United games.

Tries far too hard to come across as impartial and just leads to him being insufferable.
 
Did he just say that United will be on UK Gold soon, while giggling to himself?

He really has become a full time Liverpool fan since retiring hasn’t he, the c*nt.

I couldnt believe how desperate he was for Hannibal to be sent off.

He's basically just a melodramatic Redcafe poster when he commentates, everything is either the best thing ever or the sky is falling in.
 
Him trying to frame Prem POTY Mahrez as some kind of unpolished diamond before City got their hands on him is insane

I mean we were winning all around us when Keane was berating every man and his dog. That stuff works when you're winning. It's tragic and counter productive and the opposite of leadership when you're not.

It looks good when you're winning. It looks bad when you're losing. It doesn't make a difference either way.

To be fair, that's absolutely not what I'm getting at.... it literally took him about 2 minutes after that Lewis Hall goal to say it was actually a really good strike, before it he'd spent 2 minutes destroying anyone in a United shirt, and some of it was just absurdly trivial too, some of it wasn't sure, but yeah. It's just not good commentary.

I mean it WAS a good strike and we've all spent the evening destroying anyone in a United shirt. Deservedly. I'm not sure what he's supposed to be doing. Crying into his mic? He's done that aswell, to universal ridicule.

Oh ffs. He's what? ABU? Anti foreigner? None of you lot watched Hannibal clatter into that 2nd challenge having just picked up a deserved yellow with baited breath? He's said feck all wrong.

He said he should have been off for getting his ankle when it was clear there wasn’t contact.
 
Gary Neville lifetime man utd fan, who has become so anti-man utd on his commentary. A man who chooses his own popularity over the club he allegedly loves.

Complete nonsense, did you read the tweets he put out? He's doing far more for the club in the long run than any of our other former players and legends.
 
I'd argue that the people that call him ABU are the problem. They expect United bias and get wound up when they don't get it.

He's a good pundit, says the odd stupid thing and gets a bit caught up in his emotions post-match but he does a good job of trying to call a match and make it entertaining.

The problem we have at the moment is that United are absolutely woeful, of course he's going to tear into us on commentary. Watch him commentate on other games and he can be equally as brutal when teams play poorly.
 
For once, Neville wasn't even the worst commentator on our game.

Dunno who it is, but the main comm on Sky barely contained himself from doing cartwheels all second half.

Sky love Newcastle now, I imagine they'll collectively bust a nut if Newcastle win a premier league title
 
Too much emotional investment and inability to control it + attempts to not be biased = constant drivel

think it was Bill Leslie, he tends to go heavy in favour of whoever the perceived underdog is
 
Gary on Sky and Gary away from Sky are very different. Away from Sky he's reasonable.

On Sky he's an insufferable hysterical dramatic twat.

Agreed. They're playing characters.

Roy Keane is just a rent-a-quote.

Carragher there to play to the populist ABU narrative you'd hear down the pub.

Micah there to offer nothing and fake laugh.

Etc.

When will some of you realise this is football forum and some people just come to vent here and have some discussion, and hardly anyone would use live television for that like Gary Neville is doing?

And you don’t think most of us would go absolutely the same if we could?

I can’t believe some of the bile Im reading in here towards an absolute United man through and through. He criticises the players so gets called names such as “dickhead” or “twat”. He’s a paid analyst, what do people think he’s gonna do? He’s doing what you lot do here on a football forum when you all share your expert opinions with the rest of us.

Why the feck did he go on about Hannibal the whole half who made 2 fouls, the second where he didn't even get a talking to, and stayed out of trouble the rest of it. Does he want him not to even try to win the ball back at 2 down

Come on he made more than 2 fouls, every challenge he made was right on the edge. Daresay he’d have been sent off at some point had he not been subbed

First one wasn't really a yellow though.

Neville is just a theatrical cnut, and an overwhelmingly biased pundit. If Maguire did that he'd talk about caution all the same but bemoan bad luck and unfortunate circumstance on the first foul.

He certainly goes out of his remit. The guy is a practically a self proclaimed fraud of a manager often praising proper coaches for believing in their system no matter what.

He then goes out on commentary about how ten hag should do 3 at the back to jump-start the team.

Hes just an all round idiot really.

He’s a Sky man through and through.
