How does Phil Neville keep getting picked?

[hktoffee]

Ask Kenwright WTF he had done in Jan transfer window?

We only got ourselve to blame yesterday. I can't stand Neville. Why can't they ever learn after Distin's pass in the semi last season?

As McBain pointed out Phil Neville has got a club foot, unfortunately it's a pitching wedge / sand iron as opposed to a driver with an oversize head.

And its in the hands of Maurice G. Flitcroft.

I think 8th personally, West Brom are starting to look strong now they have Mulumbu and Yakob both fit again.

Lukaku is a beast as well.

Feel sorry for him a bit now

Van Der Meyde hit the nail on the head. He's a "teachers pet"

He's only doing his job that his boss wants him to do after all's said and done. I don't doubt HIS commitment. Can't believe he's still, after all this time at the club, come out of the quote above though.

Neville carries all the qualities Moyes looks for - Responsible, defensive and a "good egg".... creative ability is mere frippery not in the least important.

When Neville gets anywhere near the goal and the more deluded within our support shout "shoot" I cannot help but say to myself "him"
I know this is cringeworthy and over the top but just out of curiosity does anyone else ?

And that is why moyes will never achieve anything in football.

Only when he took the ball off Coleman and shot. Good egg?

Another nothing season.

Another nothing season.

Apart from a better cup run what did you think would happen?

That's the point surely.

We've had 11 years of Moyes/Kenwright, we know what they offer us. And it's 6th/7th place and nothing to shout about.

Another nothing season.

But he's retiring at the end of it.
