Gary Neville

[kaz7]

Agree with that. There's the odd MU game when he loses his neutrality, often badly, or takes up an unsupportable position for some odd reason (Mane on Ederson), but that's about it.

Sterling made no attempt to play the ball, but played the man. Booking looked pretty obvious for that one.

Neither did the ones who took rodders down,both were fouls but one was booked and the other ignored

What a surprise tonight these 2 C@NTS are not looking at our fantastic play that carved out 30 shots but at our defending at corners! so they can show the rest of the premier if they didnt know already that that is one of our weak points, if by chance any team gets lucky enough to actually get a corner against our absolutely fantastic side.

I don’t think the rest of the premier league are reliant on Monday night football to point out our defensive problems from corners .

I'd say that Neville has been pretty fair to City overall ... (apart from the odd occasion when he's been in a funny mood for some reason / something has got to him ... then his bias has shone through).

But that said, if you can't say good things about City currently, when we're (arguably, but certainly statistically) playing the best football ever seen in the history of English football ... then there's surely no hope for any pundit / commentator ?

I don't recall it, so I don't have an opinion on that one. I've seen comments from others.

MNF just now - "I prefer their (Dippers) front 3 to City's" - just blatant blue-baiting

I thought he was pretty fair as opposed to the scouse c**t you could tell he thought VAR decisions Saturday were absolute shite.

 

[Don Karleone]

Shouldn't be anywhere near City games.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Hated him and a player, loathed him in fact.

But to be honest, I quite like him now and find his commentary pretty good. Maybe I'm not hearing what others hear, but for me anyway, I have no problem with it.

I find Andy Hinchcliffe worse to be honest. Sometimes it's hard to believe he's a blue.

What a great start to a post that was.............;-)

VAR RULING

Deserves more likes

Neville is a **** ,always was, and always will be.

In a nutshell

 

[Blue Til Death]

I quite liked Neville before he went to Valencia, since he has been back on the air after his clusterfuck attempt to actually manage a team rather than slag off someone else with the same failings, he seems to have turned into a right ****...! Once a ****, always a **** I suppose...!

Find him pretty fair tbh.

Do City fans just want constant praise for us on the tv?

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then surely it is Gary Neville ?

I think he is generally fair but I am a bit suspicious of the way he has been pushing the "tactical fouls" narrative against City. Not one mention last night in a game (Wolves v Rags) which was littered with tactical fouls from both sides (just like most other Premier League games)

Just to add to this, I don't think I've ever heard tactical foul mentioned in relation to any other club. To the ones who find Neville completely impartial, have you ever heard him mention it about another club? And if so, is it proportionate to the amount of times that it gets mentioned in relation to City?

He tries to sound neutral but inside him swirls 40 years of toxic City hatred which has reduced his brain to the size of a red walnut.

Agreed. Last night Pogba, Lingard, and McTominay did nothing else but tactical fouls and, to be fair, Wolves did exactly the same. It was a strange game with both sides scrapping near the half way line and waiting for breakaways. As I have said before, apart from mistimed tackles, all fouls are "tactical" and we commit less than most teams.

He is a rag k@nt and using sky for his proper gander against us and for the scum.

Yes, yes I do.

He's always been a good commentator and pundit because he reads the game well and analyses it fairly. Never noticed him showing "bias" during a commentary, but then unlike some football fans I'm not sitting there furiously looking for it. Like them all, he lets people know who his club are and has a joke about it, but it doesn't affect his analysis.

I bet there's a Man United forum somewhere where they are all accusing him of being "biased" because he was very negative about them last night after the game. Correctly.

Mostly this stuff is silly fan talk born from confirmation bias.
