Neville having to explain his ‘billion pound job, comment. No explanation needed.

https://youtu.be/jvbeN5A10Ow?feature=shared

Don't know how he has to explain, it's probably one of the best things his said.

Both Shearer and Lineker,feel the first Virgil goal should have stood

It literally happens every week no one thinks its right decision unless you are a Chelsea fan.

[SamLad]

You won’t see another goal disallowed for that this season ever.

Neville saying 'bottle jobs' was more about the frustration of Liverpool getting their hands on silverware than Chelsea losing.

Exactly. Alongside the "I can't wait until he (Klopp) leaves"

Time to stop mentioning it before the rat starts to think he's Martin Luther King.

As Rossiper says, his snide comment a bit later about Klopp leaving says it all. He hates us, and any little thing he can do to bring the fanbase and club down in a moment of glory, he will. The embodiment of everything that's wrong with football broadcasting right now.

100%. Why is he getting angry at Chelsea in ET? He is meant to be impartial but clearly hates us. See comments about Klopp leaving and not wanting us to win the trophy.

He claims to be the best pundit around then states he doesn't know who our kids are. Do your job and research it.

He then ends that segment saying he respects Poch and loves him after mouthing off about them.

It is just a narrative that Sky create and push. Neville is just a mouthpiece and a terrible broadcaster.

I disagree. You support who you support and hate who you hate. I expect impartiality from refs but not pundits. Just have both sides represented.

Sorry but I expect a degree of professionalism from pundits - outside of international sport, you shouldn't display the sort of bias that Neville does on a weekly basis (and he is the worst for it by a long chalk). Sky's coverage is now just an extension of click-bait journalism and fan TV, which makes it almost unwatchable for me.

But it appeals to the masses as it is 'banter'.

The fact he didn't do any basic research on our academy kids is unbelievable. That is his job.

You just know that someone like Motty would have had pages of notes ready

You're right of course. Everything nowadays has to be "top bantz" and you have to talk about "melts".

[reddebs]

He probably did but didn't want to say anything about them or the academy as it would make us look good.

Remember, only Fergie is allowed to win things with kids or be remembered for bringing through academy players which is why there's been such idiotic arguments about the ages of each squad and the "experts" insistence that Chelsea had a younger starting 11 🤷

He's an idiot.  Very unprofessional.

He's an idiot.  Very unprofessional.

Idiot is being very kind. The Klopp jibe was much more unprofessional. Even bitter rivals like Guardiola (in his own peculiar twisted way) admit Jurgen will be missed.

[thejbs]

I thought keane’s ‘crybaby’ comments when Robertson was elbowed by a linesman was pretty egregious. Pundits are definitely feeding into player abuse in their pursuit of banter.

[meady1981]

I’m completely shitting myself about AI taking over my life one day, but if someone can come up with a seamless Barry Davies and Gerald Sindstat commentary app for the game I’ll accept our demise.

[rob1966]

I just took that as a Manc being glad as he's sick of seeing us winning everything, same way I'll be glad to see the back of Ped.

Yup it's the direction of travel and its probably going to get worse ... you think the Neville's tag line going viral is going to make him make extreme statements less or more in future?
Football punditry and football chat in general is inching its way closer and closer to WWE territory

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Not going to even mention the refs in this post (Except this )

Great time in London. I had some issues when I was there with walking last time, but this time I'm good again and used my time to walk my legs off. Saw all the sights, walked for a total of over 100 miles over 4 days. Although I used to work in London for a while and have been many times, decided to go full-on tourist. Saw Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, The Guards House, M.O.D building, the Gurkha statue, the HMS Belfast, went onto Tower Bridge and into the Tower of London. Went to the British Museum, The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum, The Imperial War Museum, the Guards Museum, All the sights and wandered through Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Soho, Picadilly Circus and 101 other places. I had quite a few beers and met up with my amazing friends throughout the trip. For once didn't see any trouble with the Chelsea fans, it was a bit of a shambles getting in, but what a game! Certain aspects that I'm not even going to fucking bother mentioning about decisions made, the fans were amazing. Everyone singing and getting behind the team and as it seemed that everything was going against us, it just got louder and louder and louder and louder and in response the Chelsea crowd's only response was shithouse songs about Liverpool, being racist and waving those pathetic fucking flags.

Especially in the 2nd half of extra time everyone, everywhere were singing their hearts out and willing the boys on and you could see the Chelsea players visibly sag as they couldn't handle it - you could tell they knew they were only in the game because of the ref bailing them out time and time and time and time and time and time and time again and our lads really perked up. Fucking Anfield South.

Proud of the lads, proud of our fans, proud of our City and immensely proud of our manager and our training and coaching staff. They have built something really special.

Fuck Sky. Fuck Chelsea. Fuck Gary Fucking Neville and all these other c*nts that thankfully I've not even had to see. Fuck the PGMOL. Fuck that fucking Manc Kavanagh and fuck Howard Webb. Your boys took one fucking hell of a beating you cheating fuckers.

Ha ha.

YNWA.

[fowlermagic]

I really thought we would get beat as Chelsea had all week to prepare for it while most of our lads played midweek and our bench were brought in to fill in the numbers. Well the youngsters really did their part when called upon and the starting 11 gave it everything. We had to best the Chelsea billionaires and their cronies in VAR . They didn't stand a chance as again we continue to rewrite the tales this club has enveloped itself for the past sixty years. Really special win and another amazing trophy to add to the historical cabinet.

[jillcwhomever]

I meant to say this earlier on I loved how our experience players piled in after the Chilwell-Bradley incident. I see Gomez as a gentle giant out on that pitch but the way he came flying through those Chelsea players, reminds me that there is a warrior inside him, as there is in all of them.

Great point. Joe and Gakpo were both great in that moment. Backing up a younger teammate and taking no shit whatsoever from that uppity little prick Chilwell. Great team spirit and togetherness!

Bet he was hoping he could land one on that rat Sterling as he went in

Ibou then piled in not long after to look after Gakpo

[Oldmanmick]

What makes me laugh about Gary Neville & others like him is that they feel that Klopp's departure will see us crash & burn. I think they were all genuinely shocked at just how good those young lads were. Not just that, but we'll have the likes of Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, & others who'll be knocking on the new manager's door come next season. Anfield will still be a bitch of a place to come & try get a result regardless of who the manager is. Thanks to Jurgen, LFC is going to be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time yet.

[jillcwhomever]

Joe always seems to be close to Bradley since he's come into the team I sense he watches him from afar, as I think Bradley is more than capable of looking after himself. But the sense of togetherness is great as you say.

Bet he was hoping he could land one on that rat Sterling as he went in

Ibou then piled in not long after to look after Gakpo

Knowing Joe, I think he forgotten that, he doesn't seem the person to hold a grudge.

Don't forget Wee Harvey who was first at the scene.

[classycarra]

still feel like i'm coming down from a high. was just an incredible final, and like Klopp said I can't think of another one anything like this in all our times.

had a ticket through family but cos i'd been lucky enough the previous wembley trip i let my mum go, but i'm so glad they all got to experience something so special and that i got to spend half the day with them

don't think i'll ever won't forget the football managed by Elliot, Endo, Diaz in between running the london marathon (after playing almost every minute of the 300 played in a week) - with mention to Gakpo and Macallister too who ran until they couldn't be risked any further. the imperious performances of VVD Kelleher, and all our centre back/keeper core. won't forget Clark coming on and immediately impacthing the game winning the ball back and also getting on the ball and being secure (across two positions). won't forget mcconell calmly distributing the ball, taking a very clever yellow yuo'd expect only a 33 year old to make, and also his turn through two pressing players from kelleher's roll (plus the fact everyone in the team knows to trust giving him the ball there. even Danns with less than a half of adult minutes ever contributed almost immediately with a goal and also with a great bit of skill in the run up to wining the free kick we won with.

most of all i won't forget the singing (mostly allez allez) about 10 minutes into extra time. made me more emotional than i can remember mid-game in a long long time. special day.

[classycarra]

Knowing Joe, I think he forgotten that, he doesn't seem the person to hold a grudge.

absolutely. by the end of it, Joe's temperament is so professional and calm that he's almost made a new friend in Colwill and theyre both all smiles

also had a chance on the side line for a 'free' push sterling (like saka on tsimikas, but different angle and slower), and kept his head entirely

He doesn't so much hate us as fear us. We absolutely terrify him. Klopp terrifies him. Us winning anything at all terrifies him too. He was terrorised in the school playground as a kid in Bury by Liverpool fans. He's grown up with a massive inferiority complex because of Liverpool. His nonsense as a pundit shows just how much we've traumatised poor little Gary.

He's just lucky to have found a niche now. His snide bitterness and fear-driven loathing have a comfortable home in a era of sports coverage which is juvenile and down-market tabloid in nature. I find him quite pathetic really. A sad little fella wracked with a lifelong fear of Liverpool FC and her success. We terrify him, and it shows.

This is a perfect summary.

He tried to come across as an intellect but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

I am sure Klopp once said to him that he was an expert in everything.

He's an idiot.  Very unprofessional.

And clueless about football. On Sunday when Elliot had a header and their keeper saved it Gary goes ' do you think he meant that , or was he trying to pass it to a Liverpool player ' .

Didn't we speak about that a few years ago ? We did. You said when he was a player he could actually do something about it but now he can't.

“He makes the younger lads feel so confident and comfortable to make the impact they made,” the 26-year-old said. “A lot of us have been nurtured by him and he’s unbelievable at that. He’s such a great manager and creates an environment where the boys can come in and express themselves. It’s special for the young boys, they deserve a big mention as they came in for a cup final and all of us feel that [pressure] so they will too. I hope they enjoy it.”

Gomez said the support Liverpool received from their fans was also a factor in pushing a depleted team over the line and was a marked contrast to the backing for Chelsea. “I’m not one for cliches but I think we have the best fans in the world,” he said. “It’s a 50-50 stadium but it’s evident how superior our fans are in comparison. I hope they realise that and how much it means to us. You see the opposite side [Chelsea] and they need that boost and we just get it and it helps us so much. That is one thing we are all grateful for.

[thaddeus]

ITV highlights package showed the goal-line technology view of the Elliott header.  I'd say it was 90-95% of the way over the line - incredibly close and actually a really, really good save.  Having watched it live on Sky for some reason they didn't get that footage.

He should've mentionted them blue plazzy flags that their club put on the seats. Imagine not being able to trust your fans to be creative and make and bring their own. I did see a big union flag being waved behind the goal in their end. Things are moving forward with them.
