Moysie says Phill is the snizz:
I must pay credit to my captain. He is a terrific leader and always has been having come from a great club with wonderful traditions of winning," Moyes said.
"He understands what you have to do, and maybe it has taken time for people to realise what he is all about.
"But I could see the work he was doing on and off the pitch, his preparations for games. Every time he prepares as if it was a cup final and that says a lot about the man.
"But as well as that he wasn't prepared to let any players slack, he would let them know about it. And you can see that from the club he comes from, that is the way they do it and he is very good at it."
I think its safe to say we all always rated Phil!:huh:

The captain of Everton is human after all:
Phil Neville admits accepting the Everton captaincy from manager David Moyes made him Mr Unpopular.
"When he did that I thought, 'Wow, I could be upsetting a whole dressing room here'. And I think at the time I did. I think I upset a lot of people. There was probably a bit of, 'Who does he think he is?'
"So I had to be strong - and I was. I had to grit my teeth.
"But once people worked out all I wanted was the best for Everton, and to be successful for the team, they accepted me.
"You could hear the vibe. The team had finished fourth and here was a lad who the gaffer put a lot of faith in when there were other senior players he could have turned to. But I think he had a vision of where he was going and I was an important part of that.
"He wanted to change the mentality at Everton.
"It was really difficult because I wanted to be accepted as Phil Neville the footballer, not Phil Neville the ex-Man United player. It was a tough situation.
"Looking back, to gain more friends at the club at the time I could have said 'No'.
"But when you want to win things you have to upset people and it was a difficult time. It probably took a season for them to fully understand that I wasn't a spy or a teacher's pet. Me going out 25 minutes early on to the training ground is what I have done throughout my career. It took eight to 12 months for them to realise that's what I do.
"But I think the mentality has changed and, if I have brought anything to Everton, it is the professionalism on and off the pitch. Hopefully that is the legacy I have left at Everton.
"I love the banter with the lads and they still call me The Manc. I think it is so important, at a club like this, to have that togetherness."

Sir Pip of Bury.
I heard Gary Neville is a red and he hates scousers.
And also that Rooney is just a fat little nbohead.
And something about Feeding a Yak and he would score.
