Phil Neville....

Following on from WBA, I've been saying that a lot recently.
I get the feeling I've not said it for the last time, this Summer, either.
Roll on August.

I thought great, the match is on BBC1, no adverts, no Chiles and no Andy bloody Townsend.....then Phil Neville appears.

His delivery may have been flat, dull and surplus to requirements (alright, it definitely was), but 445 people complained to the BBC about it. They sound like fun people.

Decent content, shocking delivery. He's like the anti-Townsend.
Merge the 2 of them together and there's a half decent colour commentator there.

When did he start commentating on colours!?

My problem is that when Simon Cowell says "decent content, shocking delivery" it is usually followed by "you've got 4 NOs" and quite a bit of laughter. I find it feeble in the extreme that the BBC use a novice on the biggest day of the World Cup for England (from the original fixtures) and now people are suggesting "we'll get the producers to give him some tips".
How about, we'll get the producers to check him out in advance, realise that he is totally unsuitable, and get someone in with knowledge AND personality. ITV get bashed, quite rightly sometimes, on here - the BBC ruin a big World Cup night with a parody of a co-commentator and there should be serious questions asked about the dunces that thought it was a good idea.

Fair play to Neville.

That's probably 400 people more than those that listen to your radio show.

Oooh, satire. Mildly imaginative.
