Will still never understand why Neville and Spitty are allowed to commit commentate their own clubs matches.  Is it really that difficult to find an alternative.  They don't even attempt to be neutral and inevitably wind up the opposition fans

It's often the same with England games.

Neville is often quite critical of Man United, because they have lost nine league games already this season. There’s not really been much for Carragher to criticise about Liverpool, considering they’re in a cup final and top of the league.

Let's see where we are on MOTD2 running order. When we beat Brighton 6-1 they put us on last and clearly didn't really want to show it again at all

Well remembered. Did you write it down in a little book just to bring it back up 5 months later?

It rankles with me, but they are so closely associated with one club, they could potentially be accused of negative bias whichever game they commentate on. Neville commentating on Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal games for example.
I find the worst one of all to be Rio Ferdinand. When he comments on Yanited it's always "us" and "we". He never even pretends to be unbiased in the way Neville and Carragher do.

The only time I have watched us on TV was during lock down when we couldn't go. Alexander Armsrong scored a screamer for Liverpool right at the end. Carragher, who was co- commentator, screamed "Trent, Trent, look at Trent, he's got to be in the England team now".

  ...and it was a pointless goal anyway

Just after we sacked Stevie G, Brighton away, Carragher on co commentary, literally cajoling the Brighton supporters around him, appealing for a penalty. It was literally the most biased commentary ever.

The bias towards the normal top 4 irritating as it is can be justified. We are the upstarts who have very little recent top 4 status. We have potential to break the club which irritates the ManU and Spurs supporting pundit love in. The country were told we’d fall away, it hasn’t transpired and they either reshuffle their notes or ignore us. We now need to reinforce our position so they can’t.

If we lose the last 13 league games of the season we'd still be in a better position than we were with Carra's bestie.

Matt le Tissier and Rickie Lambert in the studio to tell us how the WEF are forcing vaccines on journalists to make the media love Spurs so much.

I'd say we'll be on 3rd after the Arsenal and Yanited games, which is about right.
