Newcastle Fan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 He was horrible, when he went on about how "easy" it is to beat Napoli he pissed me off, "just hold Cavani and Lavezi, track the run of Hamsik and you'll win 3 or 4-1" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 honestly thought he was on top form last night He was a bumbling mess of blind bias and exasperated breathing into the microphone. Clearly better when he has a) time to think about what to say and b) covering teams he actually knows a little bit about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Neville should stick to PL punditry. Second worst commentary of the season. Don't tell me you're referring to Wilkins' commentary in the Chelsea v Man City game as the worst? That was unintentionally class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 He was horrible, when he went on about how "easy" it is to beat Napoli he pissed me off, "just hold Cavani and Lavezi, track the run of Hamsik and you'll win 3 or 4-1" It's a wonder he isn't in management. "Just stop their best players and we'll score 4". Easy as that. ''Chelsea are better than this lot'' "Napoli are average, no better than what Chelsea face in Englund week in week out.'" "Chelsea should score 4 at home" when they were 3 going on 5-1 down And the pick of the bunch "Napoli wouldn't beat Man city" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was flicking to SSN and Merson was even worse - although he is outrageously moronic. Apparently if you stop Cavani and Lavezzi (sorry, "Lavenni"), Napoli will "struggle to win any game of football." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Italy 7 - 1 England Ouch. Just goes to how quickly things change. A few years ago we had 2 teams in the CL final and Serie A was in turmoil. Serie A is still s*** but the PL has dipped in quality drastically since Mourinho and Ronaldo left. Only because those two left? Get out of here. Both of them leaving meant a downturn in quality for me. Man United haven't been challenged anywhere near as much since imo. Ronaldo was the gem in the PL. No player has been anywhere near to his influence since. Not even Rooney or RVP. Hang on, Man Utd were spanked by Barcelona with Ronaldo in their side in the CL final and Chelsea were in the final of CL without Mourinho. Not all down to them, but two of many people leaving that hasn't helped. I'm just making a point that they coincided, barca beating a team proves nothing more than how unbelievable they've been since then. They also destroyed Real Madrid, managed by Mourinho, with Ronaldo in the team! I'm just saying that Mourinho upped the ante in the PL when he arrived, and Ronaldo was and is the second best player in the world. You'd be daft to say that the league wouldn't be much better quality at the top with them in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
