Gary Neville

After the first 10 mimutes I watched the game with the sound turned off. No need to listen to their fans screaming for every decision, no need to listen to Peter Drury scream out the full name of anybody that shoots. I mean how he fits in Dominik Szoboszlai in a tenth of a second is to be applauded but somewhat needless and nauseating at the same time. No need to listen to Gary 'ohhhhhhhhhhhhh' Neville for a second longer than necessary, no need to listen to the two thirds of Boyz II Men at half time, sadly i've still got to look at those straight lined ruler haircuts and finally I don't have to listen to other rag in the studio who would rather be in a car park bare knuckle fighting.

Besides all of that watching it with the sound down I wasn't influenced by the mythology of English football that this is anfield and I rather thought they huffed and puffed to beat the worst City team of the modern era. And finally the fact the sound is down has no bearing when Jamie 'La' starts whining because his pitch is so fucking high to begin with only the dog can fucking well hear him anyway.

Onwards and upwards Blue Boys CITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I can’t believe you thought it would be anything different???

Every City Sky game I watch with the sound off :0)

It’s always better that way :0)

P.S.

And thank god M.Tyler’s not there anymore either :0)
 
I never ever thought I would say this but if I do occasionally forget to mute post match I prefer the comments of Keane. I know, that is really saying something ( queue Bananarama....).

Neville is a little shit imo. Go back to Salford Ratboy, it's about his level.

exactly the same with the scousers. They claim united are their biggest rivals. Never feel the need to smash their coach up though

In fairness have to point out they threw corrosive liquid at United players arriving at Anfield and attacked an ambulance taking an injured rag to hospital.
Where Nevilles concerned just remember him leaving the Maine Rd pitch after his nightmare last appearance, with "Gary Neville is a blue" ringing in his ears. Never understand why he didn't put some his fortune into Bury rather than Salford.
 
The rag dipper rivalry isn’t the same these days coz the rags are fukin shite
They are basically best mates these days
If and it’s a big if the rags get it together again then the scouse/rag love in will disappear in a flash, the vermin just want them onboard to get at us and vice versa.

A quick read of their forums can show you how much they have mellowed with each other.

This is the effect we’ve had on these despicable clubs.
 
I like him and his analysis.

He's generally extremely respectful over the achievements of this squad in the last 7 years and he always stresses how incredible it is to keep going again and again and again like we have been doing. That's a point that is not made anywhere near enough. We've made winning the league every year to be normal rather than novel, and its something that he brings up when others fail to.

He's a rag obviously but as far as rags go, I can stomach him. He also seems to not take the banter too seriously which is nice compared to someone like a Keane who "rages" at "disrespectful" fans.

You have to remember that the job of a broadcaster is primarily to be entertaining or engaging in some manner. Neville like the rest of them including Richards, phrase things in such a way to create engagement. Look at Daniel Sturridge - the most pointless and useless analyst in the history of televised sport who never met a cliche he understood, yet his stupid singing and "bantz" has probably got 5 million views on TikTok or Youtube.

I think of pundits on a sliding scale between pure entertainers like Sturridge and the latest kid grabbed from online content creators, to serious and rather dry football analysts. Neville is on the right side of that line, he's smarter than Carragher (a fine achievement) and sounds like someone who has actually thought about what is in front of him. He's wrong a lot about what was in front of him, obviously, but it's nice that he tries.
