I liked Van Gaal when he was here. Hated the press and didn't hide it.

Well maybe not 'affectionately'.

He actually just said 'that man there' but Custis was too cloth-eared to notice and, predictably, took huge offence. The amusing thing was that, in true tabloid tradition, he was then 'encouraged' to respond by doing a light-hearted 'Neil goes on a diet' feature. Of course, his colleagues realised very quickly that Neil doesn't 'do' lighthearted and the project was quietly dropped.

I remember him being on one of those journo panel shows just after, and it was obvious his colleagues were laughing at him rather than with him.
The man is a joke.

Re: The Wit And Wisdom Of Neil Custis
This is quite revealing. Not so much the fact that he's actually misheard Van Gaal - he's not even entertained the possibility that a Dutchman saying 'dat man' sounds quite like 'fat man' and it wasn't an insult at all - but more the fact that he can't cope with the delay from the studio, so even simple comments stop him in his tracks and clearly niggle him. The bloke is just pre-programmed to take offence no matter what he encounters:

Then there's how he is with his 'peers'. Even there he cannot tolerate anyone doing anything other than listen quietly to him. It's supposed to be a conversation but god help anyone interrupting our Neil (Heck of a size, he is, too!):

Mmm .... interesting, see how shifty he looks, constantly looking around, not looking at the camera, classic signs that he’s lying, the bit where he says he “took it on the chin” I’d guess, he didn’t, he hates Van Gaal for it and always will.Erskine Might wrote:This is quite revealing.

He hears 'fat' no matter what people say. I bet someone in the distance will say something like, 'I really like that hat,' and he'll squeak, 'Did you just say you like me fat?? How DARE you!' He's the porcine equivalent to Alvy Singer in Annie Hall:

Christ... He seems to be growing out of control. Im assuming every time he makes an outlandish comment or takes offence to anything he has a snackbox.
