Yeah, he's the most insightful of all of them. I think Carragher has improved due to Neville's level of expertise. BT's lot are a load of gubbins. Way too many pundits and the anchor acts a bit too much like a wanchor (didn't Ginola get into trouble for giving him that very hand-sign?).

It just smacked of "let's get a famous german in, quickly, anyone!".

As Chris says, the good thing with Neville is the genuine insight he gives that we would miss. Compare that with the mugs on MOTD for example.I believe he also went on a coaching course to help with his insight.He was still loathsome bastard as a player mind.
I've seen a behind the scenes documentary of a MNF and Neville basically spends the whole day going through the major incidences of the weekend and looking at tactical aspects, deciding what he's going to use.
The throw-in thing winds me up. I haven't seen a side lose so many of their own throw-ins as we do. We may as well just flip a coin.

Quote from: fredm on November 26, 2013, 12:32:15 PMListening to him talk about us last night was very impressed with the stature in which he holds us. "Big club", "terrific stadium" etc. Before the first game of the season, they did a preview thing with Neville and Carragher. You should have heard Carragher bigging us up, said he wasn't a Villa fan but as a kid used to go to our matches etc etc. It was genuinely surprising to hear.
