Gary Neville is perhaps best known for his measured analysis as a football pundit, but it’s as a commentator that he really lets his passion show.
At least, that was the case when Arsenal put in something of a weak performance against Manchester City in the League Cup final.
I wish Gary Neville would use slightly more constructive negative words than the one he is using. It’s like arsenal have killed a puppy!

With the north London side 3-0 down in the second half, Neville made his feelings clear.
“I’ve mentioned the walking of the Arsenal players and then the retreating runs of Ramsey and Xhaka, ambling, jogging back,” said Neville.
“Absolute disgrace they are, they’re an absolute disgrace. Walking on a football pitch at Wembley. Giving up. Spineless.”
When all is said and done at Wembley today and the lights are turned out after another cup final, Gary Neville will still be sat in the gantry absolutely tearing into Arsenal

It did indeed have a little of the Arsenal Fan TV about it.
Gary Neville currently channeling his inner Arsenal Fan TV and really laying into this Arsenal team.

Something for those with editing skills to get to grips with later, no doubt.
Somebody needs to drop the last ten minutes of Gary Neville's commentary over a beat because we could have the world's hardest diss track on our hands.

I hope someone has edited all of Gary Neville from the last 15 mins into a little video

Arsenal lost 3-0 as Pep Guardiola claimed his first trophy at City. The players will probably have to watch the game back at some point this week in an effort to improve.
They’d be well advised to mute the commentary if they do.
