Better than Neville.

 

[General Melchett]

Neville used to be quite objective and not quite so Man U maximalist. I reckon a lot of the pundit arguments are scripted or at least encouraged by the producers to add to the theatre and stop people from changing the channel after the game has finished. All about the advertising revenue.

Better than Neville.

Nah. To my knowledge Neville has never tried to spit in a car which had a little girl in it because he was getting trolled by a dick head fan. Unbelievable the lack of back bone sky showed that he was allowed to continue in his job after that.

Is it to your knowledge that Neville chose to be a hypocrite and take Qatari money to commentate for on their tv network during the world cup as well?

Don’t condone what Carragher did.

Yeah but that’s a hell of a big boat that Neville is on. I don’t like it but when your own government is in bed with some horrible people and even football itself (City, Newcastle Chelsea - not now so much) all have horrible owners so you’d have to put the millions of fans and employees of those clubs into the same boat with Neville.

The whole spitting thing was just a real insight into the type of man he is. Sure, Neville is clearly a greedy hypocrite but I’d rather be like that than someone who can’t control his emotions so much after his team loses that he reacts like that with a little girl nearby (or to be fair to anyone) I can’t see Neville, or indeed, 90% of people reacting like that. Can’t believe he didn’t lose his job.

Tell you what. Just don’t watch footie on Sky sports in protest at Carragher. I will give you a nudge when he gets replaced eventually 😉. Like they did with Keys and Gray. Only to be replaced by another who is likely less whiter than white.

7-0. Enjoying it whilst it lasts. 🤔Until, getting a likely beating from Real in the return leg. Next month fixture list includes Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. So that will be the true tests of whether this was just a fluke or can get to and finish 4th. Right now looking like between Spurs, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Gary Lineker to step back from presenting Match of the Day

It follows an impartiality row over comments he made criticising the government's new asylum policy.

Not a big fan of Lineker but I would guess the Tories have leaned on the BBC Chairman in an attempt to cancel him.

And now this:

Match of the Day to air without presenters or pundits as Gary Lineker told to step back

Ian Wright and Alan Shearer and some commentators react after the BBC told Gary Lineker to step back.

8 matches to win the 2026 WC. Exhausted players and more cha-ching into FIFA’s pockets.

Haarland has 5 goals in under an hour against Leipzig.

He’s ludicrous.

And Pep took him off as well to stop him scoring 6 and breaking Messi’s record. 🤣😜
Clearly this is exactly why Man City bought him.

Sadly, I am preparing myself for Liverpool to get a drubbing tonight v Real. No miracle
Comeback from 3 goals down this time. Their away form this season has been abysmal.
