I Hate Phil Neville

BBC received over 400 complaints. He's nowhere near as irritating as Townsend or Carlisle. The British public continue to amaze.

Would have been about 400,000 had the other 399,600 not topped themselves.

You could tell he was new to it all and so he over thought it. Much rather that than Townsend rambling on without saying nothing or Carlisle talking to people like they've never watched a game before.

I'd rather listen to Townsend than Phil Neville to be honest, but that's kind of like choosing between whether I want Aki or Big Omar taking my anal virginity.

As for Carlisle, he's an absolute tit and I've disliked him for quite a while, he'd fit in quite well with the "Always the victim" types from across the park.
 

I'm not a fan of his (as evidenced by comments here-in), however he's the only 'professional' pundit that i've noticed that's pointed out Gerrard's culpability for the space afforded Italy in that game.

400 complaints ? Surely we could easily lobby the BBC to ditch their KKKopite staff then ???

Phil Neville World Cup commentary draws complaints

The BBC has received 445 complaints from viewers about Phil Neville's BBC One commentary on England's World Cup match against Italy.

Neville, a former Manchester United and Everton player, was criticised for his lack of emotion and "monotone" style.

In response, Neville told BBC Radio 5 live the TV role was "a lot harder than I thought it was going to be".

Despite the complaints, the BBC said the footballer would continue to play "a key role throughout the tournament".

A spokesperson added Neville - who is currently a coach for Manchester United and has received broadcast training - was "an important, well-respected member of our team".

Neville told sports presenter Mark Chapman he welcomed the feedback on his performance: "In terms of the content I got out, I thought [it] was quite good.

"But the feedback is that I need to show a bit more excitement, so I think you'll see that more on Thursday night in the highlights show.

"I will get better - it was my first live gig and I'm just glad I helped everyone get to sleep back home!"

The England v Italy match attracted an average 11.5 million viewers, peaking at 15.6 million just before half-time making it one of the most watched programmes of the year so far.

Viewers also took to Twitter to criticise Neville, with several joking England physio Gary Lewin - who was stretchered off after injuring his ankle - had "fallen into a coma" listening to him.

Neville responded saying: "1st live co-comm last night - sometimes u have to take the criticism - it will only make me better- thanks for the feedback (ahhahaha)!"

BBC Radio 5 live broadcaster Danny Baker was among his critics but said the BBC should share the blame.

"Phil Neville has acknowledged he wasn't great during England commentary - but what were the BBC doing giving him that game to 'learn his craft'?" he said.

Nothing wrong with Phil Neville's input. No doubt the 'Slab Chuckers' have been working en masse to get another one of their vile brood in.
