It's as if Phil Neville has a normal office job & he's doing this by phone on the sly & he has to use that voice so his boss doesn't twig.


Kieran Cunningham @KCsixtyseven
Will Phil Neville be around for the second half? Russian co-commentator left at half-time of Brazil/Croatia cos of slagging on Twitter.


Tim Brannigan @tim_brannigan
The England physio slipped into a coma when a live feed of Phil Neville's commentary was played into his earpiece. #EnglandItaly


Harry Wallop ✔ @hwallop
I note BBC red button says 'choose audio' as if it knows the whole nation is desperate to turn off Phil Neville's Mogadon drone


Miranda Sawyer @msmirandasawyer
If you press the red button Phil Neville dies and you get a proper commentary #radio


Steven Dick @dickmagician
Phil Neville. The voice artist of choice should you ever have an animated movie featuring a pool cue.


David Schneider ✔ @davidschneider
What truly frightens me if England go behind is that we then hear what Phil Neville sounds like when he's depressed #WorldCup

Richard Bailey @Bailsthebadger
Phil Neville could send a glass eye to sleep. #WorldCup2014 #EnglandvsItaly



Stuart Dunsmore @EvidentlyStuart
Even the tele has succumbed to Phil Neville's dulcet tones.

Phil Neville

Deserves his own thread. How ****ing boring was this cunt? He just never stopped talking in that slow robotic voice the whole frigging match. Have a butchers on twitter, the whole country is taking the piece. Even south warwicks police got in on the act.

Never in my entire life have I heard anyone on TV sound so dull. When we conceded he sounded the same, when we equalised the same and when we conceded the second no change. I want my licence fee back.

[Roboklopp]

Aye. Even worse then Owen.

I don't understand why they don't use Danny Murphy when they have him there. I imagine he'd be an infinitely more interesting co-commentator the Philip.

I think this post needs to be present in this thread.

See first post

That pool cue one is brilliant

[Muddled]

Top, top modding. As always, Reece.

the choice of pundits is ****e cannavaro is another one dont think he has any idea of the question that has actually been asked

[Muddled]

Thierry Henry and Clarence Seedorf have been great. Fabio Cannavaro is pleasant enough.

Can you imagine Robbie Savage or Ian Wright going on to a foreign TV channel and talking in French, Dutch or Italian whilst making any real point.

I can't imagine them making any real point in English either.

So true, Dom.

What is a Robbie Savage?

I thought TV was getting past its resident 'Banter Specialist' but they seem to be in far greater numbers than ever before.

Ian Wright is ok, just a fan watching football. Bit hyperactive, but no one takes him seriously, and he doesnt seem to take himself seriously either.

But Robbie Savage is just ****. **** at punditry, **** at analysis, **** at talking normally. **** at everything.

Being covered on radio 4 at the moment.

[dom9]

**** off Phil.

I thought you'd come up with a clever new word. Just as I was about to Google its meaning I realised that it was a typo.
