4 Cup final wins is an impressive feat for any manager4 wins in the last six games.....guess he knows what he's doing after all...
Yeah, our ex players definitely gets a tough ride on here. I’m not quite sure what it is.Somehow some on here have a fetish on hating on our past players and legends(not saying Phil is). He was struggling but most of you brought out the knives and we're getting giddy about it. Good for him he's succeeding now, squad has had some injuries and Higuain is playing like he cares again so hopefully the good run continues.
Considering he's one of the few ex-players who's managed to forge a reasonably decent career as a coach (Giggs, until he fecked it up, definitely Bruce excepted) whereas all the billy big bollocks types (Gary Neville, Scholes, Keane) haven't managed it.Yeah, our ex players definitely gets a tough ride on here.

Keane getting Sunderland promoted and then keeping them in the Premier League, winning Championship manager of the year, and coaching Ireland to the round of 16 at the Euros is light years ahead of anything Phil Neville has done.Considering he's one of the few ex-players who's managed to forge a reasonably decent career as a coach (Giggs, until he fecked it up, definitely Bruce excepted) whereas all the billy big bollocks types (Gary Neville, Scholes, Keane) haven't managed it.
Think you kind of missed the point of his post as you then call three of our former players "billy big bollocks types". Oh and fyi, Keaneo had a good spell with Sunderland and as a coach with Ireland.Considering he's one of the few ex-players who's managed to forge a reasonably decent career as a coach (Giggs, until he fecked it up, definitely Bruce excepted) whereas all the billy big bollocks types (Gary Neville, Scholes, Keane) haven't managed it.
Aye Robbie, there always seems to be some sort of negative connotations attached to our ex players - some of them even legends. I just find it really odd. Giggs, I can understand due to his personal life, but yeah, the rest not so much. Threads like “Roy Keane is dead to me”. Or United fans actively wishing Gary Neville to fail as a manager etc.Think you kind of missed the point of his post as you then call three of our former players "billy big bollocks types".

I think It’s because they’re usually critical of the current team/team of the last few years and for some reason some of our fans take it as an attack on the club. You see it on here, you criticise the manager or certain players and you’re labelled as a poor fan.Yeah, our ex players definitely gets a tough ride on here. I’m not quite sure what it is.
Good point and probably a big part of it all.I think It’s because they’re usually critical of the current team/team of the last few years and for some reason some of our fans take it as an attack on the club.

I think it’s a small number of posters whose immediate reaction to anything negative is to get super defensive.I think It’s because they’re usually critical of the current team/team of the last few years and for some reason some of our fans take it as an attack on the club.

Aye, it's ridiculous Ish! There was a period on here when Keane was painted as some sort of enemy of the club. It's only in recent times that this place seems to have warmed to him again. At the end of the day, these ex-players are paid pundits and it's their jobs to have opinions.Aye Robbie, there always seems to be some sort of negative connotations attached to our ex players - some of them even legends.

Yeah it’s weird especially the bit about Keane, who’s literally been one of our best captains ever.Aye, it's ridiculous Ish!

I don’t think Pee Neville was ever critical of the club. He’s a bit of a David Brent figure as a manager though. More mocked than disliked.I think It’s because they’re usually critical of the current team/team of the last few years and for some reason some of our fans take it as an attack on the club.

Haha. I don't rate him one iota. But not sure what is needed for the MLS. How many of the 19 cup finals has he won now?Yet another win for Big Phil...up to 5th in the Eastern Conference now.
Funny reading back at some of the rash comments in this thread, just goes to show the kneejerk reactions of football fans!!
Has he mentioned jerking off on the beach yet?I mean anyone could see going down the nepotistic/friends route was only going to end in one way. His pre and post match interviews are classic. Pulls out every single cliche in the book. 23 Cup finals!
6 straight losses (with 16 goals conceded and one scored) since this post.Yet another win for Big Phil...up to 5th in the Eastern Conference now.
