When did commentary become a fucking 90(+) minute conversation about fucking shite? Can’t bear it.

One of the best I've seen in recent times has been Liam Rosenior. Speaks brilliantly about the game. Didn't realise he was managing Hull and looking like he's doing a good job at that

I've been championing him on here for years. Nedum Onouha is another solid pundit when I've seen him.

You don't need commentators to be emotionless robots when doing games, but there should be at least a certain level of professionalism and keeping your personal biases off the air, which Neville doesn't even try to pretend to do.

This is true. He’s not a bad pundit he just can’t hide his bias when he’s on LFC duty which makes it a fucking nightmare to listen to

This is basically it. He's actually fine when analysing or commenting on most teams, but he really should be stood down from covering United or Liverpool. He's completely incapable of rational or balanced thought with either team. Genuinely loses his mind. Of course it'll never happen though, as Sky clearly want him spewing shite and enraging people to drive clicks and engagements.

Spanish commentators are partisan and they are not shy about it which is a refreshing change from the sly commentary in the UK.

The French are more objective and professional, though, they have some dickheads like Nasri (who feels Alisson is overrated) and Dacourt who is an ex-bitter but it's not bad.

(I speak both languages and I have watched/listened to games in them).

He's an idiot. I started putting him on mute after he said Arsenal are better than us. He even tried to justify why Odegaard's handball wasn't given as a pen.

Notice how he insidiously led an agenda against Darwin from day 1 when his team has bigger flops in Hojlund and Antony.

The problem with Neville is not just his bias but as Carragher has pointed out, Neville cant make a prediction without a counter prediction because now he clearly wants to be right on everything.

At the start of the season on his fan Overlap shite, all the social media fan channels of other clubs said Liverpool would be up there this season in top four and yet Neville said he didnt think so. Then against Newcastle he said they would be too powerful for us at St James.

However when he made his top four prediction he had Liverpool in there. He was afraid we would be back so to cover himself he put us in his top four to avoid being called out on it.

Neville should be nowhere near our games. He always has an agenda. He just cannot be impartial when it comes to us.
Tonight he has accused Diaz and Jota of diving.
In similar situations in other games, he'll simply say "It's a clear penalty. The defender/keeper has been rash, and clipped him, and knocked him off balance", and there would be no further controversy.
Sky are the ones at fault though.
They don't want intelligent, insightful pundits, or co commentators. They want idiots like Neville, Keane and Carragher, who offer little, but controversy, and this adds traffic to their sites.

I don't mind Neville at all, he usually reigns himself in when not watching us, but still comes up with some corkers where we're concerned like "Liverpool would want United's midfield".

But when he's watching us he absolutely loses his mind at time, he's so ridiculously biased. "Arsenal should take Liverpool on, they've got better players 1 to 11"

Mark Hughes was cursed by this after he left United, he was constantly bamboozled by the concept of not being given every single decision in a game.
