Manchester United legend Gary Neville was a really good footballer. And one of the most successful skippers for his club. However, post his playing days, he was been a nuisance most of the time for Arsenal fans. And that is what his existence has come to, as a Pundit. Opposing what majority of Gooners across the globe feel and think is like his BEST TALENT!!
And so, he is always in the line of fire, more often than not. Not because he can’t make sense. But because he doesn’t want to!! Well, most of the time at least!! Personal agendas and vendetta against the Gunners is his favourite pass-time of the day for ATTENTION and ENGAGEMENT!! So this is what it has come down to now!!
And so, when Arsenal lost to Newcastle due to a VAR screwup once again, Gary Neville had to give another STUPID TAKE!! Also, once it was said and done, he had to then justify it!! Even some of the Manchester United fans are now bored of his attitude and lack of footballing knowledge. But, it is waht it is!!
The Gary Neville Take That Earned Him A Lot Of Abuse Once Again!?
Well, Gary Neville just doesn’t like Arsenal and the club’s fans. And so, he was at it once again post the Newcastle loss. Below is the Tweet that he sent out, followed by multiple others to justify it!!
I thought the decision for the Newcastle goal was correct.
The ball out was inconclusive at best, definitely not a foul for me and if the VAR can’t evidence offside the onfield decision should stand.Here’s a little poll on the Newcastle Goal on what you feel most strongly…

Further, he went on to add that Gabriel was never fouled. It was a defensive tactic that he used and failed to win a foul. This was funny to read. But, most of what Gary Neville tends to say as a Pundit, is!!
He’d already bent forward to flick it on and he threw his legs back! I’ve tried to do it . It wasn’t a foul.. https://t.co/RK5MHnwoJB

He further went on to talk about his time as a player. When he had to play under Sir Alex and how the latter would react to such a thing. He added,
I played for a club where a manager went mad after games if we felt a decision had gone against us. You feel like it’s us against the world . I get it. Everyone hates us, the refs are out to stitch us up and theirs bias v us. However I can never remember the club writing letters…

A Lot Of Pundits Are Rattled At SKY SPORTS And Other Platforms After Arsenal And Mikel Arteta’s Stance On This Matter!!
Jamie Carragher was one of the Football Pundits that was totally happy that Mikel Arteta spoke out after the game. He was delighted that the Spaniard said what he felt yesterday. And that he wasn’t giving out generic statements and was directly speaking his mind with the fans and the media.
But today, there is a total U-turn in his opinion. This has come out after the North London put out a statement supporting their manager. They totally backed what he said, along with a majority of the fanbase. This has gotten most SKY SPORTS’ Pundits rattled including Carragher. We wonder, why is that!?
Below is the video that was put out by Carra recently!! You can base your opinion on it and not what we are saying!!
That Arsenal statement & complaints from their manager about the officials & VAR, on the Newcastle goal, is way over the top! #NEWARS

Well, Arteta seems to have rattled the likes of Gary Neville and co. They are now trying hard to defend their friends and “MASTERS”. So, at the end of the day, just like Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, Mikel may not really get much support from PUNDITS on TV!!
So, we at Beyond The Posts too decided to have our say on this matter-
Problem with likes of Gary Neville & co. is that, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT PGMOL & VAR is shite..but when a manager like KLOPP or ARTETA want to take a stand against them, such PUNDITS don’t take it seriously, though they want to RANT THEMSELVES against POOR REFEREEING all day long!!

Now, whether you agree with Gary Neville or US, is up to you. There are multiple ways to look at it, though most Gooners across the globe, would feel that the GOAL shouldn’t have stood. For me, it should have either ended in a draw. Or if Bruno Guimaraes would have been sent off, Arsenal could have won it.
But that didn’t happen. And so, at the end of the day, it was the home side that got the benefit of yet another refereeing error at St. James’ Park. Not what you want to see and how you want to see games be decided. But, at the end of the day, it is what it is!!
Let us know what you think about this mini-thread that I put out on Twitter and this article too!! Cheers!!
