Everything we do bad is magnified by him, everything good is flat comment.

He literally didn't do either of these things.Last week he wanted our first goal disallowed for a potential offside 2 minutes before the goal. Every big social media outlet was milking that situation throughout the week, forming a narrative that we won because of the ref. Liverpool scored the exact same goal a couple of games ago and literally no one bat an eyelid.
This week he's focusing on the ref seemingly obstructing Luton players in the build up to the first goal. And now he's accusing Højlund of diving. He's a spiteful wanker.
Neville is extremely negative off his own back, I don’t think anyone’s telling him to hide his loyalties to Utd. Bizarre guy.How is Carragher encouraged to be a giddy Liverpool fan when he's on commentary but Neville has to be unnecessarily negative towards United?
I'd say at least 75% of fans on here are negative about United, so it's not really that bizarreNeville is extremely negative off his own back, I don’t think anyone’s telling him to hide his loyalties to Utd. Bizarre guy.
He absolutely accused Hojlund of diving for a penalty.He literally didn't do either of these things.
He absolutely didn't - he said Hojlund was anticipating the contact and went down early, which is exactly what happened and isn't diving.He absolutely accused Hojlund of diving for a penalty.
The bizarre part is him constantly trying to prove he hasn’t got a Utd bias by going so far the other way and being extremely critical and negative a lot of the time. Everyone knows he’s a Utd fan and couldn’t really give a shit. He literally sits next to Carragher every week who’s basically a cheerleader for Liverpool, you’d think after seeing that he’d tone down the negativity a little bit. Of course as fans we can be very critical of our club but with Neville it feels way over the top a lot of the time.I'd say at least 75% of fans on here are negative about United, so it's not really that bizarre
After the goals (which he was very positive about by the way) there wasn't that much to be positive about in the first half anyway - second half he constantly said how we should have put the game to bed.
To us - Liverpool fans get annoyed at the exact same thing with Carragher though (that he's too negative about them on comms).The bizarre part is him constantly trying to prove he hasn’t got a Utd bias by going so far the other way and being extremely critical and negative a lot of the time.

I mean, thats textbook diving if there is no contact.He absolutely didn't - he said Hojlund was anticipating the contact and went down early, which is exactly what happened and isn't diving.
It’s worse than that. I’ve noticed Sky puts him on almost all City games when the title race hots up. They don’t care about his bias, it’s encouraged.How is Carragher encouraged to be a giddy Liverpool fan when he's on commentary but Neville has to be unnecessarily negative towards United?
Exactly, if you listened to Neville you’d think he was a terrible footballer who was stealing a living during his career.Neville is extremely negative off his own back, I don’t think anyone’s telling him to hide his loyalties to Utd. Bizarre guy.
There's a slight difference I would say, if you think you're about to get hit you can naturally start going down in anticipation, where as diving is you knowing there is definitely going to be no contact but trying to manufacture it anyway... plus Hojlund didn't appeal or anything like that.I mean, thats textbook diving if there is no contact.
Well said.There's a slight difference I would say, if you think you're about to get hit you can naturally start going down in anticipation, where as diving is you knowing there is definitely going to be no contact but trying to manufacture it anyway... plus Hojlund didn't appeal or anything like that.
Put it this way, there was no contact obviously, so do you think Hojlund dived?
Wish he stops that self depreciating thing about his playing career. It annoys when there are bang average players like Micah Richards suggesting that they were better than Gary Neville at anything.
He specifically said he went down “looking for a penalty”, which is diving and was a bullshit comment.He absolutely didn't - he said Hojlund was anticipating the contact and went down early, which is exactly what happened and isn't diving.
This is all accurate and no Hojlund didn’t dive or appeal for anything, hence the irritation of Neville saying he was looking for a penalty.There's a slight difference I would say, if you think you're about to get hit you can naturally start going down in anticipation, where as diving is you knowing there is definitely going to be no contact but trying to manufacture it anyway... plus Hojlund didn't appeal or anything like that.

I can't remember the "looking for a pen" comment so I'll take your word on that, but he definitely said that he was anticipating the contact, which completely mitigates that statement for me.He specifically said he went down “looking for a penalty”, which is diving and was a bullshit comment.
It doesn’t mitigate anything though; anticipating contact and looking for a penalty is literally the definition of diving.I can't remember the "looking for a pen" comment so I'll take your word on that, but he definitely said that he was anticipating the contact, which completely mitigates that statement for me.
Did Hojlund appeal?It doesn’t mitigate anything though; anticipating contact and looking for a penalty is literally the definition of diving.
Not even a little bit. He anticipated taking a hit which led to him falling to the floor but he was already in the process of getting himself back up as soon as he landed and didn’t even look to the ref.Did Hojlund appeal?
I think its a very grey area. Just because a player doesn't claim a foul after going down when there was no contact doesn't mean they weren't trying to cheat. Going down on the assumption of contact is everything that is wrong with the modern game and the way we reward cheating. Thats the brother of "there was contact therefore its a penalty".There's a slight difference I would say, if you think you're about to get hit you can naturally start going down in anticipation, where as diving is you knowing there is definitely going to be no contact but trying to manufacture it anyway... plus Hojlund didn't appeal or anything like that.

I was watching the game on US TV and they said the exact same thing so maybe there is something to itThe way he was telling casemiro to stop complaining/looking bewildered after that pathetic first booking was a wind up Neville should take a back seat more on united games as his constant over magnifying things brings attention to our play constantly and all the abu's lap it up as some authority or a green light to show twenty replays at half time.
Not only his, United's in general. Every time he talks about past games he was involved in we were getting battered. Anyone would think we were relegation candidates every season. Odd.Wish he stops that self depreciating thing about his playing career. It annoys when there are bang average players like Micah Richards suggesting that they were better than Gary Neville at anything.
And about how we played without “tactics”. It’s all very weird.Not only his, United's in general. Every time he talks about past games he was involved in we were getting battered. Anyone would think we were relegation candidates every season. Odd.
What's happened to Richards? I don't know if I'm just watching less football on TV but it felt like he was everywhere over the past two or three years but I've barely seen him on anything for ages now.
Always worth a rewatch.... You can always tell when Keane thinks he's just heard an absolute load of shite.
Don't jinx it please.What's happened to Richards? I don't know if I'm just watching less football on TV but it felt like he was everywhere over the past two or three years but I've barely seen him on anything for ages now.
His popularity (if any) was contingent on Keane having anything interesting to say and him guffawing like an idiot at it. Keane has now said everything he has to say = nobody cares about Micah anymore.What's happened to Richards? I don't know if I'm just watching less football on TV but it felt like he was everywhere over the past two or three years but I've barely seen him on anything for ages now.
He’s on that Rest is Football podcast now right ?What's happened to Richards? I don't know if I'm just watching less football on TV but it felt like he was everywhere over the past two or three years but I've barely seen him on anything for ages now.
Fair enough, I wasn't suggesting he was dead just that he suddenly wasn't on TV every 5 minutes. I've also never heard of that podcast tbf but thanks for letting me know to avoid it.He’s on that Rest is Football podcast now right ?
Is he not allowed to say anything positive about Liverpool? That's really childish tbf isn't it?Tweet
