I've just quickly scanned through the article and literally lost count of the number of times "Abu Dhabi" was mentioned,the man's an utter twat!!

It’s deliberate and he’s a racist jealous little twat!!!

2 rules I'd immediately change in football are:

1. Scrap Offside completely. It gives needless advantages to a defending team for absolutely no sensible reason and the judging of it and the disallowing of great goals just cannot be justified any longer. This is an entertainment businesses and being caught offside or pmaying offside offers no entertainment whatsoever.

2. Scrap Penalty Kicks and introduce Penalty goals for when a foul or handball has stopped a certain goal. This would in an instant end players diving to win penalties and penalties being awarded for non goal preventing handballs. If it's an intentional handball then as in any other part of the field of play it's merely a free kick. If the hand ball was like Suarez in the World Cup and effectively a save then there is a goal awarded.

Just those 2 things would cut back on cheating and any bloody need for VAR anyway and I can guarantee it would be a better watch.

Could call it Rugby.

But he wouldn’t be independent would he? You can see that with the lies and half truths he peddles about our main owner

Forget whether it is the Tories or Labour in power, neither would be arsed about true independence. They would go for what the public like. The public thanks to his Sky image, think Neville is 'one of us', a working class lad, someone you could trust to sort this mess out.
Yes he would be the totally wrong person but that has never bothered the govt. (Seb Coe says hi by the way)

It's a disgrace that a former professional should be advocating hurting another professional and a double disgrace that the national broadcaster doesn't see anything wrong with highlighting his comments. But does anyone seriously expect better from the BBC where we're concerned?

Wait till we play utd. That midget cb will be at it.

Burnham will eventually make a run for the Labour leadership, that was always his plan. And Neville, having announced recently he has joined Labour, will probably have a go at becoming his successor. Though his blatant links to united and Chinese buy to let investors mean it would be far from certain he would get in

What the journalists never say is that Saudi Arabia and UAE are our allies and as they supply much of our energy we need them more than they need us. We may not like their human rights record or their social systems, but the reality is we cannot boycott them. Cannot. So it's a bit hypocritical to fix on football when on a daily basis our government and various businesses deal with them 24/7/365.

At last 30,000 jobs in North West England depend on the Saudi deal with BAE. They are arguably our strongst ally anywhere these days since the US went flaky. Meanwhile the UAE remain amongst the biggest global investors in the UK. Some reality needs to be introduced into this debate.

If it was our sponsor and one of our players it would be back and possibly front page news with calls for us to be banned from just about everything!
