Gary Neville is being ridiculous

[WES]

We had one setback in the game and we recovered. We would have had half an hour to do it again.

The way we approached that game yesterday, I think we still would have won. Spurs were atrocious.

Yes, the narrative that odious little paddy Given was peddling on MOTD was nonsense.

If they score there we still go on to win, we were that much better.

I think Shay Given might be the only Irishman I genuinely hate

Lucky you Listening to that lot whine now that they're sh1t is one of the best things about football today

The real question that the pundits should be asking is whether the push was sufficient to stop Gabriel from heading the ball clear, and it was. I have zero sympathy for players who put their hands on other players and then claim they didn't commit a foul. If you aren't going to push him, don't put your hands on him

I genuinely can't get my head around United fans wanting City to win the league. We have a couple in our office, it's mental.

Can't speak for all of them but my friends simply cannot handle Arsenal's resurgence. They despise Arteta and everyone else at the club.

It's really just envy, but there is a distinct lack of class. Piling on me after the Wolves games is not the act of a friend. I would NEVER do that to anyone. It's unspeakably childish.

Had weeks of **** about Thomas Partey as well.

[PSRB]

Definitely a foul.

My friends who support United are going out of their minds. I swear they were not this hate-filled back in 2004. It is quite absurd. I get 20 messages a day.....

Gabriel is perfectly under that ball and is going to head it clear. The shove, even though small, is crucial. So yes, he has to make a meal of it.

Has to be said, we got a bit lucky there. Many refs wouldn't have given it. And there is no way VAR gives that.

I agree. It's like having a photo finish if you allow a false start.

You shouldn't be allowed to do that.

I also don't get why we look at offsides to the mm cos that mm could give you an advantage, but dragging back by the shirt is allowed.

Remember that first post-Covid game? Leno has the ball just inside the box and the push him, deliberate foul, not attempt to win the ball, to see if he'll carry it out in the act of being fouled. Injured and misses a cup final and a charity shield.

If two jump to challenge for a header, fair play. But Gabby was set and would have cleared it, that's why he got pushed in the back.

But if that's given, I still don't get why that Brummie **** was allowed to deliberately injure Leo.

Had it not been given I didn't think VAR would have overruled it. That said, it was a foul.

I was trying to explain that to a city fan at work. It was actually very clever from Gabriel. He was also right about the comms issues with the lino. We had just built up a nice head of steam at that point. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get back on it.

He made a good point that if Gabriel hadn't gone down (aka dived theatrically) then the free kick would not have been given. And that would have been a whole different game!

I only hear the accent, not the words. And the accent sickens me. So he's a wrong'un.

[PSRB]

Hardly surprising, I suppose.

He's a massive ****. In every single thing he gets involved in. Property. Politics. Football. The lot.
