Leslie Charteris Posted 16 August, 2014 Posted 16 August, 2014 I predict Phil Neville will be proved wrong.
Professor Posted 16 August, 2014 Posted 16 August, 2014 Its been said that the BBC know that Neville (P) isn't up to the role and that he's been given additional advice and training after his poor performance during the WC. In any other walk of life he'd have been shown the door. It's time the broadcast media came to realise that former footballers are not the right people to act as football journalists because the role requires entirely different skills. At least Sky have realised that David Beckham is an utter plank and although they want to use his PR image in their advertising the advertising agency don't let him speak. Neville doesn't even have image to rely on so why he is being used is inexplicable.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 Nevilles punditry is what England was to the World Cup and United are to the Premier League. Out of its depth.
Saint Charlie Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 Anyone who saw Scholes on Sky yesterday having to justify why he predicted relegation for Swansea will know that these kind of things are barely worth discussing. Scholes, it seemed, hadnt actually looked at Swansea's squad which he then described as being quite good.

Scholes, it seemed, hadnt actually looked at Swansea's squad which he then described as being quite good. I think this general perception of Saints being a bit **** this season will win us a few games. Maybe Phil knows it and is on our side Can't wait to see the new team play...
Saint_Tony Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 (edited) Yeah I'd rather they came out with a load of **** so we can prove them wrong. The problem is a lot of pundits and journalists are just lazy and poorly informed. I'm sure none of them have been keeping up with goings on this summer like many of us have. Swansea's side looks decent, if they keep Bony I think they'll finish top half. Have just seen world class player and pundit Robbie Savage tipping us to also get relegated Edited 17 August, 2014 by Saint_Tony
LostBoys Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 Who cares what Phil Neville says he is a complete waste of space. The BBC is hoping and praying he will do for them what his brother has achieved for Sky. He will not. I would rather have him predict us for relegation rather than anything else rather like the plank before him Lawrenson. Talking of planks did you see Merson on Sky Sports yesterday - hopeless
Portugalsaint Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 Upbeat about our 2nd half. StIll all about Livepool and now mentioned Morgan going up there!!! **** OFF and leave us alone they will not win anythingm they are not very good we showed that today. WE WILL MARCH ON

angelman Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 No mention of relegation from him on motd. He'd look a bit of a **** if he did.

Wes Tender Posted 17 August, 2014 Posted 17 August, 2014 Funnily enough, after Swansea beat Man U, Neville had the good grace on MOTD 2 to reconsider his prediction that they would struggle this season. What a shame that he wasn't asked whether his prediction regarding our prospects was due to be reconsidered, although he was very complimentary about our performance today and agreed that we had been the better team.

As for Neville he probably can't remember what he said over 24 hours ago....

CB Saint Posted 18 August, 2014 Posted 18 August, 2014 Phil Neville said that eh? I feel much more confident about our prospects now. What would you want to put your money on? Southampton longevity in the EPL or Neville's longevity as a pundit?

SaintNeil90 Posted 18 August, 2014 Posted 18 August, 2014 Am I the only one loving the fact we're getting tipped for relegation?! If people underestimate us, just like they did last season, then we'll pick up points. Simple. Even though Liverpool won (with shear luck), they definitely underestimated us.

Sour Mash Posted 18 August, 2014 Posted 18 August, 2014 Phil Neville seems like a genuinely nice, decent bloke, but how he gets work as a tv pundit god only knows. Can add Micheal Owen and plenty of others to that list.

Doctoroncall Posted 18 August, 2014 Posted 18 August, 2014 A shame the TV has to rely on footballer names to act as pundits. Some of the journalists I've come across are good at expressing views and tactics better than the most.

The9 Posted 18 August, 2014 Posted 18 August, 2014 The season Southampton last got relegated was also the season Southampton was predicted to get relegated, coincidence I think not... You seem to have forgotten 2011/12. And that no-one tipped us to go down in 2004/5.

Scholes, it seemed, hadnt actually looked at Swansea's squad which he then described as being quite good. pretty annoying that he is getting paid a handsome amount by SKY, but he clearly isn't doing the necessary research. Imagine getting paid to read about and watch football and then sum up what you have seen and read.

May have been 2006 when at half time in a group game he was asked to give some insight into one of the lesser known teams and he just shrugged and said "I don't know anything about them."

L_O_Z Posted 13 January, 2015 Posted 13 January, 2015 OLIVER HOLT predicted Saints to finish 20th... LOL
pap Posted 13 January, 2015 Posted 13 January, 2015 99% of all speculation is talking sh!t in advance.
Redslo Posted 13 January, 2015 Posted 13 January, 2015 Here you go although not an article So 5 out of 11 mirror experts picked us to be relegated. 0 of 9 Telegraph experts picked us to be relegated. 3 out of 10 Guardian experts picked us to be relegated. I am not an expert on English newspapers but is this a good way to determine their relative quality?

Dan Johnson Posted 13 January, 2015 Posted 13 January, 2015 This proves just how nonsensical football journalism is, if the stories not written on the pitch it's not worth reading
BlakeySFC Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 It's hilarious to read now how many of those so called "Football Writers" predicted we'd go down :lol:
SaintBobby Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Sports punditry and commentary in England is seriously feeble. Well, football coverage anyway. I'm always amazed by how much better the US TV coverage is of their major sports. The anchor also forces pundits to state a position beyond "I expect a tight game" or "I fear for them" - and will use this against them if they are wrong.

Southampton Champions League : Chelsea FA Cup : Liverpool League Cup : Manchester City Championship : Wigan League One : Sheffield United League Two : Portsmouth To be fair, if you set aside your anti-Portsmouth biases, they did look in good shape at the start of the season. The more interesting lower league stories to me are Bournemouth and how well Swindon Town is doing with our two center backs.
