i must have heard it differently, the comments on Kane and Rice were reasonable, they would be game-chaning signings whereas the ones we made werent. I didnt see that as criticism of those players, just that we are stretching our budget to make it fit this season.The context of him not piling in on other managers and questioning signings of absolute second rate players like Dan James. But happy to question ETH and his signings which also is ignoring many factors like five games, like the entire club being in limbo due to ownership, like injuries, like losing Greenwood, Antony and Sancho in one hit, like the fact that development is rarely linear. We won a trophy and finished comfortably 3rd last season. But very often when someone transitions a team their can be progress before a dip and then you see transformation.
I agree with this, but its also why I often have to watch our games with the commentary on mute. I think he likes to shield himself from the pain by really going for the team on commentary, getting ahead of the embarrassment by leading the criticism. Sometimes unfairly.i must have heard it differently, the comments on Kane and Rice were reasonable, they would be game-chaning signings whereas the ones we made werent.

Im in the minority on here, I'm a fan of Neville and i see him as a frustrated fan, like myself!
That’s an odd take. He’s pretty measured and routinely owns up to being wrong.He's a fecking melt who goes out of his way to shit on Utd, whilst giving every other team any excuse under the sun.
I feel like he just fans the fan flames these day as a full time job, we were never in for Rice or Kane - I’m sure we’d have loved to sign them but what he’s saying is the same as me saying United should have signed Mbappe, it was never on but I don’t then have thousands of angry fans see that and blame the club for then not signing Mbappe.i must have heard it differently, the comments on Kane and Rice were reasonable, they would be game-chaning signings whereas the ones we made werent.

Well yeah that's the big issue not EtH as far as i'm concerned but i don't think Mount is going to add a lot of goals. He will aid chance creation but knowing our lot it will still be a monumental effort to actually stick one of those chances away.Our owners are the Glazers, and one of the reasons Mount was signed is to add to the goals.
He scored plenty at Chelsea.Well yeah that's the big issue not EtH as far as i'm concerned but i don't think Mount is going to add a lot of goals. He will aid chance creation but knowing our lot it will still be a monumental effort to actually stick one of those chances away.
33 goals in 195 games is alright/decent. I think he'll do ok this season and will add some creativity and good workrate but i'd be surprised if he scored that many more than Antony or Sancho last season.He scored plenty at Chelsea.
That’s exactly what it is.He's the absolute worst on commentary. Uses every word to spin narratives and butter up the fanbases who hate him the most (Liverpool, Arsenal).
Just a poundland politician talking out of both sides of his arse to appear "neutral".
I posted the same on the Premier League matchday thread .He is such a weird little man. He was so hard for Liverpool hanging on. He actually sounded devastated with the Matip own goal.
This. He’s trying so hard to be popular on Sky for the non-United group that it’s coming across too strong.He acted like a Liverpool fan for most of the end of that game, he was so worried when they had that counter attack.
He is awful.
That's exactly what he is, with his man of the people chat as he simultaneously buys up half of Manchester. Says whatever he thinks people want to hear.He's the absolute worst on commentary. Uses every word to spin narratives and butter up the fanbases who hate him the most (Liverpool, Arsenal).

I couldn't agree more with your first point. Sick of seeing him brown-nose Liverpool whilst the likes of Carragher and Souness can't wait to stick the knife in with United.I’ve said this on another thread but I’ll say it again
I don’t want him to be pump up United but I wish he was more like Liverpool pundits are towards United. Be unreasonable, be unfair to them, create a narrative that might damage them, criticise their signings. Be basically like every single Liverpool pundit is towards United.
But I get them feeling that Neville and other ex United players are secretly enjoying Uniteds downfall since SAF retired. It makes their period of dominance look even more impressive.
Yeah I think he would too but he definitely gets a feeling of satisfaction seeing United’s woes over the last 10 years, if that’s how he feels fine I don’t care. But it seriously pisses me off seeing this constant arse licking of Liverpool, this constant trying to be liked by fan bases that can’t stand him. It does my head in. And these narratives do make a difference, referees and officials are human and are influenced by what they hear, proof of that can be seen by the fact we haven’t had one decision go our way since the first game of the season. If Neville really wanted the best for United he would stop sucking up to our biggest rivals, start creating a narrative against then, can you imagine what the pundits would say if United had 115 charges for cheating against them. This pro city pro arsenal pro Liverpool stance that he has is doing United no good whatsoever.I couldn't agree more with your first point. Sick of seeing him brown-nose Liverpool whilst the likes of Carragher and Souness can't wait to stick the knife in with United.
You might be onto something with that last paragraph. That's definitely the case with Keane. Although I do think if United won the league then Neville would be genuinely happy.
what an incredibly stupid comment.His team lost today.
Oh, and so did Manchester United.
Not really, I understand completely what the poster is saying.what an incredibly stupid comment.
Salford City won thoughNot really, I understand completely what the poster is saying.
He’s been buttering up to Liverpool fans for years, for whatever reason I don’t know. He’s a strange fellowHe really set the narrative for the Jones red card, didn't he? Standard red all day long for me, but it was obvious that the pundits at half-time (Andros Townsend being one), would parrot his conclusion that Jones "got plenty of the ball", when he clearly didn't.
