Carragher, Neville & MNF On Sky

fozz10

i just switch off at half time of every sky game and have done for years. I cant stand the sight or sound of neville. he trys to portray himself as another nice guy like all the sky pundits. when we all know what he really is. christ we watched him for years. he is fake because he is paid to be fake. hearing people say how he has changed and he is a great pundit makes me cringe.

So when you think of "nice guys" you get Jamie Redknapp, Souness and presumably Phil Thompson too? Riight.

What do you think of Merson? Is he a "nice guy"?

mainly redknapp and neville really.but i have a special hatred for neville that just doesnt go away because he pretends to be a neutral pundit. souness is bearable, but then you would have to listen to who ever he is talkin to. anyways i always go off and make a cup of tea and come back when its over. I dont rate any of the sky pundits enough to listen to their opinion. easier to just not lisgten to their crap

merson??? the only thing hes good for is if you want to make a bet just make it the opposite to what he says and youll probably win money. tbh i think sky just pay him because ya can get a laugh off the stuff he comes out with

I cant agree with this view tbh. Neville on the pitch is completely different to Neville in the studio.

He's obviously very competitive which can come across as dickish, arrogant etc but I don't for one second think that he's fake or anything like that.

IMO his views largely go against the grain and he has a really refreshing view on things especially his piece on diving and the whole Suarez biting thing.

His past has seems to have clouded your view of him, you should really give him another chance.

Neville is grand for games that don't involve Man United or key England players. Unfortunately there aren't enough of those games. I'd have Carragher any day anyway.

In the studio, he is the best there is in England. Co-commentating he is ok, but when he is analysing in the studio he is quality.

I'm a Liverpool fan and was a bit worried when he got the gig full-time but he hasn't been biased at all in the EPL IMO.

He has a fantastic knowledge of the game. Has won it all, and played for and against great teams.

Sky should have just him and Souness doing the analysing from now on, get rid of the other clowns.

Btw, I got some stick from my LFC mates for buying it, but his book is a very good read. Recommended reading for all football fans.

I'm all for giving credit where it's due as a Pool fan, ie to Neville the pundit, but you went out and bought his book? Grab a copy of the Sun while you were out too? :eek:

I know thats incredible really. neville is one of the least likeable people in the sporting world. even some united fans i know were able to see what he was when he was a player

Bit off topic but just caught Tony Gale on SSN saying that The Premier League is not all it's cracked up to be, that won't go down well with The Sky Propaganda team :rolleyes:

garra, cop yourself on. Don't post in this thread again if you have nothing positive to contribute.

Neville is a xenophobe. Criticised De Gea for mistakes but if Hart makes them nothing said. Foreign players dive he goes mad, Sturridge dives he says it's not a dive. Beginning to find him very irratating

Probably because hes their NT coach, are the entire Liverpool squad racists for supporting Suarez back at the Evra incident? No.

He doesn't go mad when anyone dives. he's the one who gave the excellent and well thought out analysis of diving in the premiership. no xenophobia on show there.

his entire thing on diving is, if as a defender you give the player a chance to go down, and the ref a chance to do you, you've nobody to blame but yourself. this is a sentiment that carragher has echoed, and it's exactly what he was saying with the vidic sturridge incident.

he's dead right in my view as well by the way.

He certainly has a conflict of interest but he's not necessarily xenophobic. In fact that's a very bigoted conclusion to jump to.
