I Hate Phil Neville

Disagree, if Moyes had got that Spurs job a couple of years back he would have run off quicker than he could pull a stepover.

Neville would want to leave just as much as Arteta, the difference is other clubs actually wanted Arteta, because he could play football.

I don't particularly like how Arteta left either by the way.

Phil Neville worked hard while he was here and he put the time in and he then retired and moved on

I mean, I didn't want him on the playing squad anymore and I wasn't bothered that he chose to be coach at Man United instead of here. Bobby had his own people anyway

I just don't see any reason to mad at him for anything really. At the end of the day, Moyes was picking him and starting him above other players

Neville trained hard, showed up on time, watched his diet, kept his head down and saw out the end of his career. You can say you didn't like his playing style, but I can't see why anyone would HATE him. It's not like he bailed on us, cheated to beat us in a cup Quarter Final and then rubbed it in our faces is it?

Ah, but I forget, Arteta was good at football so he's allowed to be as big a knob as he wants and we all still have to like and respect him, where as Phil Neville was just a consumate pro, so he's deserving of our hatred

I hated his playing style, and his dad's style of play
 
It just seems wrong to me to hate someone who clearly took their job here seriously and was a good servant to the club

Not every player who plays for Everton can be a boss technician who has been an Evertonian all their life. A player can only give the best of what they have to offer, and Neville always did this without fail

To hate him just because he got crap towards the end and wasn't an Everton fan just seems petty. Yes, he was old and knackered. Yes, that last season he was crap. Loads of crap players have turned out for this club and loads more will do so in the future. For a while, Neville was just fine and was a good leader on the pitch who had the respect of his peers. Hating him, when they are so many other beauts out there who deserve to actually be hated (Barmby for one) is idiotic in my opinion.

Not rate him? Fine. Think he stayed too long? Fine. Hate him? Petty and stupid
 
Him saying Everton should be grateful for a top 10 finish is equally petty and stupid of him though mate.

I think he said it was achievement mate, not that we should be grateful

Everyone uses that as the stick to beat him with, and ignore the actual hard work and dilligence he put in during his Everton career

Because Phil Neville is the reason we never won the league. Just him like. No one else

You get the jist of the quote though, it's not an achievement really. Sums up Moyes's tenure too.

He might have worked hard, in fact I bloody hope he did, but my expectations are a little higher than his.

Wasn't it Redknapp who bid for Neville?
