Fair enough, maybe the caps argument is a little shaky. But you certainly look a better individual playing in a better team. For example would Ronaldo look as good for us as he does for Man Utd considering our mongs wouldn't be able to run onto his passes and anticipate what he is thinking as well as the likes of Rooney and Tevez? Maybe it's a bit of siege mentality coming in when people dismiss the Neville brothers out of hand, moreso Gary Neville. Just smacks of listening to cretinous opinion and taking it on board (after Phil's tackle in Euro 2000, etc)

You could easily level the same question about "taking them out of a decent team" at Zambrotta and Cafu btw. Who also have/have had the luxury of playing for superior national teams than Neville

Now don't get me wrong, nothing pisses me off more than people who say Gary Neville is s***, because he looks like a rat and comes across as a tosser. He's a magnificent full back, steady reliable, he gets abused for his crossing, but sometimes it's as good as a winger. However the best England right back ever ;D ;D younguns. You never heard of Viv Anderson, as good a player as Neville is/was, he wouldn't have got a look in in front of Viv at his peak, or a true legend of the game like Jimmy Armfield, I think people like talking s*** to get noticed to be honest. I refuse to accept this lad isn't a clueless wum, I'm new to these boards, am I right? Nostalgia clouding your judgment tbh. Neville has more England Caps than them, won more trophies and now captains one of the worlds biggest teams. Who on earth slates Neville for his crossing anyway? Apart from morons?

Captains the team sitting 4th in the table But, if that's average to you, then I'd hate to think what s*** was.

Put him in any other squad and he'd be no better than average. Solid? yes. Best in the world? Not a chance. Phil Neville, who has less ability than his brother, got moved on and I wouldn't class him as average tbh So, your point kind of falls down here.

See I love this utterly clueless mentality that suggests Gary Neville isn't world class when has consistently performed for one of the worlds best teams over a 10 year period. Probably the best English right-back of all time as well.

You have to admire the football that they play and how they rarely, if ever, succumb to playing the type of football that every other team does in Europe (including Man Utd). Wenger's stuck to his guns and it's finally started to work. Yeah. I like that fact in the modern game he's able to change his entire squad and gamble on youth and still bring out a CL qualifying team every season. Some of the players he's lost. I mean we lose one (Shearer) and we fall apart. Fergie struggles to replace. He hit lucky with Ronaldo thanks to SBR more than anyone, but really so much money has been thrown at his manu team over the years how could he fail? So much bullshit in that one sentence I don't know where to start. Ferguson probably the best manager in history so him.

Down with embedded quoting tbh

"This is bollocks" should really be the thread title tbh

blueyes.gif Don't like Gavin Peacock much either. HOW DARE YOU.

Man Utd had already been looking at Ronaldo for six months before he signed due to the links they have with Sporting Lisbon.

Shearer never had as good a season for us as Ferdinand did in 95/96 Unplayable on his day.

2nd only to Schmiecal in Premiership history I reckon. Is rated very, very highly by opposition fans, though sadly not by his own. He really isn't

No mention of when Given just watched the ball head towards the goal as if watching it go wide, leaving it to Taylor to clear on the line? He was awful on Saturday.

In a world of scummy little egotistical arseholes (Dyer, Reo-Coker, etc) Carragher seems a genuine bloke. Fair enough you may pay £30 to get into a game, doesn't give you the right to spit and throw drinks over people. Just another "Football fan in gets abuse back and complains shocker"

RTG MESSAGE BOARD goes tits up under the weight of speculation. Quite easily the shittest message board at this moment in time. Streets ahead of this one. Or any other Newcastle board for that matter

DENNIS BERGKAMP....DENNIS BERGKAMP....DENNIS BERGKAMP....DEEEEENNNNIISSSS BERGGGKAAAMMMPPPP

Lets see us get 30k+ regularly if we go down to League One tbh

Allardyce has just said the priority is shoring up the leaky defence. So NE5 isn't going to get what he wants.

For what? He was fucking hopeless and at fault for the first two goals.

Love how people go over the top on here. Rozenhal "absolutely incredible"

Haha http://www.jeffwinterentertainmentandmedia.co.uk/comeonboro/0708006.htm Suggesting people calling him orange are "racist"
