Watching the Spurs Palace game and Phil Neville is driving me up the wall. 

Surely his bosses must realise how annoying his voice is. 

Not too bad in the studio but as Co commentator he drives me nuts. 

Same here. He's awful.

agreed

 

he's a weasel

The only good thing about him is his dad is called Neville Neville.

Yeah. Classic. 

Wished I had missed that. 

Thinking of switching to the Thai commentary.

Don't speak ill of the dead, BB.

Saw him play cricket for Greenmount in the Bolton League. Just 3 things wrong with his game: couldn't bat, couldn't bowl, couldn't field. (Apologies to Sir Geoffrey).

Phil was reckoned good enough to play for Lancashire.

I am not speaking ill of the dead (to be honest I wasn't aware he'd passed), I just happen to like the fact the dad's name was neville neville.

"Neville Neville, your face is a mess"

Yes Phil's clearly a little retarded so its none too surprising he's a boring, uninformative commentator.

 

I thought the commentary for the Spurs/Palace game was probably worse than the match itself, which is saying something!

Anyone and anything remotely linked to Manchester United past  or present is the subject of ridicule and on occasions bitterness,it related to a symptom known purely and simply as jealousy....

Anything you don,t like on the gogglebox turn it off.........not rocket science.......but then again for some

Have a nice day gentlemen and if this your only grievance you are lucky indeed.

He's a really crap commentator, get over it.

"Anyone and anything remotely linked to Manchester United past  or present is the subject of ridicule and on occasions bitterness,it related to a symptom known purely and simply as jealousy.."

Nonsense! I don't like gary neville's allegiance, obviously, but I think he's one of the better pundits so your theory above is wrong. Phil though...bobbins!

It really is nothing to do with his playing days for who he played for , people just do not think that he is a good commentator

Of course you are absolutely right in this.  He's a very poor commentator that struggles to string a sentence together.

 

But this doesn't go along with the RAG agenda of everyones jealous of us and all that tired old baloney.  

He has a good face for radio.

Shame about the voice.

Me too.  I think he could do with being more involved in the game, perhaps as a coach, or manager in the lower leagues.

 

I find him hysterical- in the wrong way!

Like most footballers Phil is not the most intelligent of individuals and his Mancunian accent is a real annoyance.

It all sounds the same to people from the outside area. Uneducated lot

Ugh.

Aghhh. He's back. 

He must work cheap. 

"You can hear the silence" said Phil. Deep.

What about Peter f****ng Drury? Waxing lyrical at the start of every match as though he's a latter day Oscar Wilde.

I'm glad you brought him up OG. It is rare that I don't scream at the TV when he begins his soliloquy every match. What an embarrassing <deleted>.

I remember a Spurs v Chelsea game where Drury got up on his soap box, "David Luiz and Harry Kane going at it, toe to toe..bicep to bicep.." I thought he was going to go through the whole human anatomy before Jim Beglin dived in with a sliding tackle and stopped him in his tracks. One of the very few times that I've wanted that droning bore TO interrupt.

He is just another "has been", who played at a time where everybody obviously was better than today's players, and wants to squeeze the lemon as much as possible.
