Slating Arsenal and Chelsea's performance against us does anyone else think he is desperate for someone to beat us or is he justified with the things he said to be fair to him he did praise us for the football we are playing

I've been thinking along the same lines myself. At the wembley game there was no talk of Arsenal being so poor. I thought the first half was quite even and then we really clicked for the first 20 min of the second half. I was amazed when I watched it through on the telly. My take was that he was trying to motivate Arsenal to perform much better in the league game and dilute the credit we were due for winning the Cup. I havent heard his comments yet about Chelsea but I did think they really lacked ambition.

Echos of Shearer's comments on MOTD2. Saying that he's never before seen teams give up (before playing City) so often this year. Said that teams would never give up before the games started vs the rags or arse over the past decades. WHAT A LOAD OF HORSESHIT
Imagine if 1/2 the managers in the prem were ex-City players who gave away 6 points every year to us. Because that's what happened with slur alex for decades. No one would try to beat them, and now they're saying it's a new problem with the game since we're on top? Get the fuck out of here

Neville cannot help himself. He is a Rag through and through. It is in his DNA. He is probably trying to be objective but it is impossible for him.
If the Rags beat Ars and Chavs like we did, would the focus be on how bad the opposition was or on how great the Rags were?
Neville would be telling us that England will will the World Cup because just look how the academy products of Rashord, Lingard, Smalling, et al. blew away two class teams.

If you ask me he’s having serious difficulty coming to terms with how much better we are than the would be challengers.
He probably thought he’d never see the day City were running away with the league and the Rags were playing such a monotonous style of football.
He’s quiet rightly praising City he couldn’t not but his comments on Arsenal and Chelsea are born out of frustration with just how good we are.

The acid test will be his comments on the derby game (assuming we perform as we should).
As for Shearer's comments, if other teams don't even try to compete against us because we are so good, and this is new for the PL, doesn't that make us the best team there has ever been in the PL?

Same in work today. My mate just didn’t know what to make of it.
It was totally bizarre tactics. You can argue it was working up until the goal, but after it, it just made no sense.

That clip of fabregas walking looks like match fixing. Imagine seeing that in a foreign league.

Seem to remember a good few years back Mick McCarthy when in charge of I think Wolves it was, played a virtual reserve team for a fixture at the rags. It drew widespread criticism and the FA in their stupidity tried to impose sanctions until it was pointed out to them that a team had been selected from the squad of 25 which was approved by the FA at the start of the season.
Does beg the question of why, if Chelsea and Arsenal knew they would be so negative and show little to zero interest in trying to play football, did they play first team players who could've got injured or suspended?

There was a clip Gary Neville showed last week. He was banging on and on and on about the Arsenal players walking. What he failed to say though was KDB was in the middle of them......... walking.
