Neville singles out Zinchenko for ’emotional over-celebrating’ after Woolwich star was ‘tooting his horn 15 games out’​

GARY NEVILLE accused Woolwich of “over-celebrating” victories and claimed their players were “too emotional” before their title collapse.
The Sky Sports pundit has been adamant for months that Manchester City would be crowned Premier League champions.

And, with Sunday’s shock 3-0 home defeat to Brighton leaving Woolwich’s title dream in tatters, Neville is seemingly about to be proved right.

SunSport revealed on Monday how Mikel Arteta’s side have been in top spot form 93 PER CENT of the season so far, and even had an eight-point lead just weeks ago.

But City will be champions if the Gunners lose their next game at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

And, even if Woolwich win, City will still win the league if they win at home to Chelsea next Sunday.

Neville has been accused by Gunners legend Martin Keown of being “biased” against the North London club.

And the Manchester United legend, who has already revealed seven reasons why Woolwich have failed, has now continued his crusade on explaining where it all went wrong.

Eight-time Prem champions Neville used the viral social media clip of Oleksandr Zinchenko beeping his car horn and shouting “come on” while driving past fans following the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace in March as a prime example.

Speaking on Sky's Monday Night Football, he said: “I always doubted whether this Woolwich team [could win the title], just looking at some of the things that were happening.

“The over-celebrations against Aston Villa [after the 4-2 win in February]. I look at little things that might look a little bit harsh - Zinchenko celebrating an hour after the game with the fans outside and screaming.

“You want your leaders in the team, who have been there before to spread composure around the dressing room and calm everybody down. You don't want them to lift the anxiety, lift the emotion.”

A fan then tweeted Neville saying: “There are reasons Woolwich's results have dipped but I don't think Zinchenko tooting his car horn at some Woolwich fans is among them.”

He erroneously said the Zinchenko video emerged after the 3-2 victory over Bournemouth rather than the Palace win, but the fan pointed out both results came in a seven-game winning run.


Neville then replied: “If he was tooting his horn 15 games out after beating Bournemouth, calling huddles 6 games out v the bottom of the league [the 3-3 draw with Southampton last month].

“I'm filling in the blanks of what was going on behind the scenes!!! I've seen it before from emotional teams!

“The experience I'm talking from isn't just from winning titles! I lost 4/5 title races as well.

“Some emotions aren't positive ones for a group even if they look it!”
 

This, the t shirt thing on that Christmas message...

Seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with them? If we were in the same position I'd have been cursing the players for jinxing things and not being professional. Hell, the subtle lion picture post by Kane was foolish enough as it let Vardy take the piss down the line - but even then we were simply chasing rather than leading the pack.

There's the phrase "you get the club you deserve". I can't help feeling that the current Woolwich culture is years and years downstream of its fanbase being terminally online virginal social media users*. Rather than behave like proper adults, their players now seem to try garnering cheap 'banter' points - and rather than being the odd individual (i.e. Wilshire, Szczęsny), it's the whole team.
