He trots out a silly line or two, but he’s been pretty note perfect on United for the longest time now.
Never really gets my back up.

Look, I will take Neville in a heart beat for this united team and I respect him for what he has done for us as a club. He is a legend. May be saying he is average is being way over the top but I am someone that prefer the likes of Cafu or Walker, someone that is able to win his battle 9/10 times without being covered for and also contributing immensely going forward. I will take that back but my point is he was not my cup of tea.
Exactly. Even yesterday he kept saying that United need to get to HT at 1-0 somehow and then you don’t know . I don’t see how you are supposed to watch this team and then not be critical of just how bad we are.
It was pretty obvious to anyone who doesn’t need it spelling out to them that his issue was with the tactics. He spent the whole game criticising them ffs! Why were the midfield playing so high, why were they playing man to man and leaving acres of space in behind etc All completely justified questions. The idea that he was criticising Mainoo personally, let along being ‘vicious’ with him is absolutely laughable.
The agenda against Neville on this forum is quite incredible.
Plenty of reports have interpreted the same way. Good thing Carragher made a point of sticking up for the kid.

Helpful too for those who couldn’t read between the lines.
Being critical is fine, what annoys me about G.Nev is his desperate need to suck up to City and Liverpool, even though both teams deserve credit an ex United player isn’t the one that should be giving it to them, he should be more harsh, critical, whatever, if you are a fan act like a fan. Look at his reaction to Bruno’s goal against Liverpool, he almost looked gutted at it.
Ive also always kind of got the feeling that some ex United players secretly have enjoyed United’s downfall since they’ve retired, it almost serves as a reinforcement for how good they were. Look at Scholes the other day criticising Garnacho and Mainoo for what they are wearing in training, how is doing that anyway beneficial to United now.
Such nonsense. 'If you're a fan, act like a fan'? What the hell does that mean? By sucking up to City and Liverpool, do you mean he's providing positive commentary on the top 2 teams in the country over the last few years? I mean what do you think his job as a pundit entails? People on here are mental. Disagree with his analysis by all means but he clearly loves United and is frustrated as the rest of us with the state of things. He walks the tightrope of balanced commentary and love of a club as well as anyone can.
Yeah, exactly.
Poor Gary is going to be absolutely heartbroken tonight, he might have to take his nose out of Klopps arse now after that result.
He's doing it again
Classic Gary. Puts an underperforming scouser on a pedestal, calls him a "freak", then proceeds to self-deprecate. No wonder some of these modern day footballers have such thin skin when they get their egos stroked by ex-footballers who were twice the player they are.
I find Gary's self-deprecating so corny and outright wrong. You can't win what we won with a make-a-wish-bloke taking up a position, but that's what he makes himself appear as, and it's become a meme.
He's 100% the kind of husband, that sits in the corner and watches his wife being railed og mutters "He's much better than me, isn't he? Isn't he?"

we need that image of Keane flabbergasted (CC @horsechoker)
That took a bit of a weird turn
No that one where it looks like he’s just watched the Jesse / Marcus beanz video for the first time.This one?

Didn't it just? Some of these lads are obsessed with this **** business.
EDIT: ha ha nice autocorrect *c_uck
Trent should be looking to leave btw
Totally agree. Its weird cause he's so pompous about his political opinions (in which he's clearly out of his depth) but acts like he wasn't that good in the field he's actually an expert in. You were a brilliant player Gary and you would walk into most teams in history. Own it.
It really is very strange.
You're right, Gary. You were mediocre. Fortunate to have a career in the game and earning thousands.
That's what he wants us to say, right ?

Why the hell is running himself down to big up TAA? The lad is a defender who can't defend and has won feck all in comparison to Neville.
This is why the young England players never grow into world beaters. Trent is a shite defender, but there is no reason to do anything about it when you are getting that much smoke blown up you by one of the PL greats of the position.
The hype is real, and then people wonder why they never seem to push on.

Good. About time the utter garbage him and Sky spout every week catches up with them.
I'm really surprised that Marinakis of all people would be getting offended by a statement like that.
I mean, I feel like the threat of legal action from Nottingham Forrest is about as threatening as Antony on the right wing.
Forest are a proper bunch of grasses aren't they. They're like that kid at school who gets his mum to write a letter to the headteacher because he thinks he's being picked on by the other teachers, when in fact it's all in his head. Hope they go down.
To be fair...
What the feck is actually wrong with him? Ffs have some self regard you moron.You were a brilliant right back. Trent isn’t even good enough to lace your boots as a whole especially as a defender.
It’s not self deprecating anymore. The idiot is genuinely trying to convince himself and others that he was Ali dia of RB’s who conned his way up to the very top and fooled everyone including Sir Alex to play for Manchester United for almost 2 decades. He’s an annoying person. I’ll give him that much.
He's been like that for a while, he talks about his career as if he was fortunate to be there and doesn't give himself enough credit. Sure he wasn't a generational talent but he was a solid RB for many years in most aspects of the game, defensively and providing width going forward. It happens to a lesser extent but I think Roy Keane downplays himself quite a bit too, I've heard him talk down how he was as a player too.
It's not the legal threat he should be worried about. Marinakis is indeed a mobster, and he's heavily implicated in the Noor1 case.
It's his thing now to endear himself to the public. Guy was first choice United and England RB for years but acts like he was Alex Buttner.
Hard to say it's not worked though, people saying years ago he had political aspirations and he is everywhere now and gets access to all players for interviews - the one today with Gordon is decent FYI - and is broadening out from just football specific entertainment.
That's typical Gary. Same with his commentary on United. He tries so much to show that he is unbiased, that he goes the other way.
Gary was telling Clattenberg to resign as well. Just stay in your lane Gary and commentate on the footy. (PS Clattenberg is a cnut).
