    Phil Neville - a face for radio and a voice for mime.

    If BBC bosses read the "feedback" on twitter he will already be on the plane home and never be seen on there again

    I thought he was ok. Rather him than Lawro coming out with the same old cliches and crap all the time. Was impressed with what Rio had to say too.

    About a thousand times better than mark lawrenson aka the most miserable person on the planet. Always has something to moan about.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me. High pitched, monotone, unemotional voice. I just switched off whenever he spoke.

    Michael Owen is worse though.

    I'm going to record Phil Neville's commentary from tonight's match and put it onto my iPod.

    Poor old Phil. His brother was a significantly better full back and now he's also a significantly better pundit. Never mind Phil, at least your coaching career is going better than Gary's... oh.

    I never thought I'd miss itv sport, the World Cup out here is covered by Indian tv. It's all done in a sky sports way with the presenter and two currant footballers one being Peter Crouch who is taking the Rodney Marsh role, with a nice linen suit no socks and loafers! And the Indian football captain who keeps correcting Crouch on who was playing in the England team alongside him. The interesting bit is when they all stand alongside a huge tv and move the players around, the cameraman has to keep changing focus from Crouch to the Indian captain who appears to be only 5' tall.

    Two of these? There must be a raisin for it.

    I expected to dislike Phil but actually thought he did okay.

    Yes, good points but felt more like an open university lecture! It did start to grate a bit I must admit. Strange as his brother is great to listen to.

    Why do we have to have two commentators?
    I, like most football supporter, know, who has the ball, scored, fouled, offside, etc. They even tell you how many minutes are left, theres a bloody clock in the top corner.
    I know they are only offering their opinion but why do they have to keep stating the bloody obvious?
    I pressed the red button after 30 minutes and turned the commentary off.

    I thought I had a boring voice, but he beats me. It's the way he speaks in clusters of six words that fascinates me. Or, is he a computer that has a number of phrases that are randomly generated throughout the game?

    To be fair, I thought his comments were OK. He will improve.

    They are clearly using him because he sounds a bit like his brother, who is a much better pundit and commentator.

    If only we could have John motson and Clive Tyldesley together, with Gary Lineker, Thierry Henry and Gus Poyet in the studio

    Such is the subjective nature of commentary and punditry that I genuinely can't tell if you're serious or not!

    He sounded like a monotone, whispering, robot.

    As said previously. What he spoke was probably ok, but he was sooooo boring, I didn't want to listen.

    I put up with him for a whole 10 minutes before switching to 5 live commentary........................

    He is certainly monotone but the principal problem for me is that he never shuts up. Some of the content is ok, but he needs to understand that there's no need to fill every silence with inane comments. Maybe he'll get better.

    Maybe he'll get replaced. After all, the BBC have only taken about 200 journos and pundits to Brazil!

    I know it was the middle of the night, but a red button kept popping up on the screen, did anyone on here press it and manage to change the commentary?

    Agree that Michael Owen is worse - he should be restricted to the minutes silence whenever there is one before the game.

    I thought Townsend was bad, in fact I mute the sound if he is commentating but Phil Neville last night....................words fail me :-0
