What a Prat - a few blokes in the pub were getting really wound up with his puerile, nasal mutterings, at the time I didn't realise who was giving the commentary. Its disgraceful that the BBC are wasting licence payers money on this fool and the illiterate Ferdinand

Get rid of Lawrenson! Most miserable git on tv

Do you really think if England had won the knockers would not be attacking ex Man United players?

[les_taxi]

It's par for the course, Phil Neville won't care, easy money and a full trophy cabinet - not bad for an average player

Lineker gets a fortune, we will always have pundits but of course if they are not from your team you're are not gonna like them.

Here's one for you John Terry/Ashley Cole combo

Doesn't bear thinking about - that's truly scary ....

I agree that Phil Neville was an average player. Would not have anywhere near the amount of caps for England if he was not a Man U player and his brother was not as good. Gary Neville was a great defender, just to show I am not all anti Man U.

JT & Cashley know where their talents lie and have the decency not to inflict themselves on paying broadcast audiences . I thought Ferdinand had sold his soul to the ragheads - they've no doubt worked out English isn't his first language. I can't stomach most of these ex player pundits (I see the vile Savage has recoloured his mop and got a pony tail ).The only ones I have time for are Keano on the TV and Collymore & Parlour on the radio - funnily enough they were amongst my most despised when they were playing

[les_taxi]

Can't stand Collymore's accent he probably sounds like Andy lol
Keano is anti Man Utd and twisted

I like Savage - talks sense.

Yes Dedworth, Les is right!

[grahamw48]

Have you listened to the BBC 'World Service' radio presenters ?

I have to turn it off.

You dont listen to anyone that talks sense.

At the end of the day you dont have to listen to them or watch them. Your choice.

BBC has seriously messed up. Neville, Savage and Ferdinand are a total waste of money and can someone please explain the point of Juninho last night because I can only think he was there for the viewers who speak pigeon English.

I cant hear you.
