Is Gary Neville an overgrown child or something? A 19 year old John O'Kane and a 40 year old John O'Kane are obviously two different people. That's is what growing as a person and developing from life experiences are. We cant all stay the same dullard like we were in 1995 like Gary Neville.
Gary Neville on United
- Thread starter charlenefan
- Start date
Gary Neville the player is a Red legend. Gary Neville as a pundit is not even decent. Some caftards speak much more sense than Gary does.
He can be annoying when trying not to be biased during United games. He's also too serious all the time, no lighthearted humour at all.
Love Nev for what he did for us. Great player. But I'm bored or him being Impartial now. Phil Thompson and Jamie Carragher don't even try and hide their bias.
Speak like you're one of us Gary. Forget what the cockneys and Scousers will think. You're a red.

Agree with several posts. His attempts to show that he is not pro-United on Sky commentary means he invariably calls every 50:50 decision against us.
I've just listened to our Gary for 15 mins and two things standout.
The first is that he has become institutionised protecting the system, the money men and second he is quite rude and bullying to those,minions, asking the questions. His, ' I can guarantee that MU will come back to the top` is an absolute fob off to cover for the malaise and rape of the club under the Glaziers and Woodward.
Sorry Gary but you've gone over to the other side, you've been Linekerised.

He comes off as a twat.
Yes, I thought his down rating of Herrera was pathetic, Herrera was twice the player that Neville was. If Herrera was in a better team he would have fared a lot better.
I agree but as the guy in the video pointed out, the issue is these "lot of midfielders" aren't at United. We've lost 2 central midfield options and not brought any in. We have weakened.
We've also lost a striker who scored 28 goals in a single season for us and not brought in a replacement.
What many don't understand is you do not improve by getting rid of players. You improve by upgrading them.
I also don't buy the idea that not bringing in a midfielder or striker was a calculated move. We know we tried for Longstaff, Eriksen, Dybala, Mandzukic and failed to bring them in. We wanted to replace Herrera and Lukaku, but a combination of poor planning, lack of back up options, being stingy over price, and running out of time has resulted in us going into the season with a midfield and attack even weaker than last season. Trying to put a positive spin on this is ridiuclous. Even if by some miracle we have a good season this year, we'll still be left wondering how much better could we have been had we recruited properly.
It's hard to know where to go once a statement like this has been made with a straight face. Neville was one of the best and most reliable full-backs in the world, for a long time.
Gary Neville reminds me of those cheap talk politicians who usually talk about either the "great history and heritage" or "bright future ahead", while being questioned regarding current sad state of affairs.
His attempts to appear impartial have jumped the shark to the point where he now seems to deliberately take an anti-United stance with some topics to appear non-biased.
Also, his lack of criticism for the owners and the setup of the club suggests to me he thinks he's auditioning for a job with the club in the near future.

I would have thought he was as infuriated by the Glazers as we are. He has no paid ties to the club as far as i know. It's hard to believe many pundits have played the game to a high level as they don't seem to be able to see the blindingly obvious. I remember during LVG's 2nd season Neville saying he was sure we'd win the league during his tenure. It was obvious to anyone watching our games that we were steadily declining under his stewardship.
Yes, he was a good squad player surrounded, as he states himself, by world class players. Herrera has more football nounce and skills than Neville who now commentates as he played with mediocrity.
Like feck he is.
I don't mind him being hard on United to be honest.
Carragher is brazenly biased towards Liverpool so Neville might as well be about United and he's so hard on us at the minute because we're a mess. If we were winning every week he'd have to have a think about where he can draw the line but for now it's immaterial, he's just saying what we already think.

Alas, I agree with this. I'd prefer to have someone well and truly professional, the top-class specialist in his job for DoF position.
Just what
I don’t agree mate sorry
Neville is widely regarded as one of the best right backs in the PL era, Herrera was here for about 4 years as a squad player.
If I got a 2 point warning for saying fans wanting Pogba to leave were stupid.
Surely a mod should have a look at this.
Herrera was twice the player of Gary Neville
Mods, the new system of requiring newbies to put their IQ in their username is working fantastically.
Fair dues, I rated both and they both had tremendous passion for the team and football. Herrera drew the short straw coming here.
All nonsense. Gary Neville wasn't a squad player, he was the first-choice right back for Man Utd and England for a decade.
He isn't 'trying to be impartial' here... and he certainly isn't being 'hard on Utd'!
He's simply towing company line - against a tide of logic and also his own previous statements about Woodward.
I would imagine he has reason to do so that betters his own situation.

Que!
And that's supposed to be the response of a public figure. Not sure how can anyone defend such a prick.
**Facepalm**
Why should he speak out against the owners if he doesn't have a problem with them? Can't have a go at the guy for having his own opinion.
'Be quiet and do one' . Really you think that's a fine response ?
To the tweet he’s responding to? Yes.
That reply will get posters banned on the caf.
Be quiet and do one!
Would be hilarious if someone did temp ban you right now thoughBe quiet and do one!
Some probably identify with the contrarian in him.
I think for me, the fact that he was calling Woodward out last season... and now, after that window, has changed his tune, speaks volumes, and more or less reveals his lack of integrity on the subject.
If this was coming after a very strong window, then ok, but it was a shocking window from an investment POV, and no DoF (something that G-Nev previously destroyed Woodward for...), yet Gary's now stating, 'the owners are no different to Liverpool's owners'
Disgraceful.

Pretty much. He has been flipping like a peel, and how it's not entirely obvious to everybody is quite amusing.I think for me, the fact that he was calling Woodward out last season... and now, after that window, has changed his tune, speaks volumes, and more or less reveals his lack of integrity on the subject.

I disagreed with 90% of what he was saying. Don't really understand the hostility and point scoring bullshit either, just seems childish.
Haven’t our owners put in more money than Liverpool’s?I think for me, the fact that he was calling Woodward out last season... and now, after that window, has changed his tune, speaks volumes, and more or less reveals his lack of integrity on the subject.

Maybe he just thinks that spending 145mil in one window doesn't constitute as 'shocking'?I think for me, the fact that he was calling Woodward out last season... and now, after that window, has changed his tune, speaks volumes, and more or less reveals his lack of integrity on the subject.

Which compared to other teams, it isnt?
