Neil Etheridge on GMA News Facebook

The folks over at GMA News' Facebook page get to video chat with Neil and we don't. I think he was interviewed from home, so I think that's how his wall looks like! Does it look like yours? Are you living together? Haha moving on...

Video # 1
Neil greets "Kapuso" fans. Kuh-poo-sow

 

Video # 2

Can you let us in on that "massive decision?"

• That "massive decision" was on playing for the Azkals and Neil wanted to leave that tweet as a "cliff-hanger." Neil's trying to be as entertaining as Chris Greatwich, you all. ;)
• Watch Neil's brainwaves take form at about 0:25 as he figures out what date on February the Saturday before the game is.

Video # 3
Have you spoken to Coach Simon yet?

• No he hasn't spoken to Simon personally but he knows about the drama.

What do you think of Coach Weiss?

• He hasn't spoken to ANYONE except for the goalkeeping coach. Aww poor Neil talk to me instead.

Video # 4
Do you think your Azkals stint influenced the Fulham decision to bump you to first team? 

• Well... yeah kinda... they were probably influenced. The Fulham manager watched the Suzuki Cup. 

How do you feel about making it to the first team?

• Making it to the first team is like making it to PBA in the Philippines. Yeah. He said PBA. He also mentioned his fanbase. That's us! :D

How did you handle offers from Indonesian clubs?

• He loves the Premier League too much to leave it. So no. Haha Neil.

When did the idea on playing for the Azkals come about?

• Three or four years ago. Called via Younghusband via Chelsea (he was ironically with Chelsea at that time). A year later called for the Challenge Cup and had to make the decision to play for the Philippines - which he is very happy about.

Do you see yourself staying with the Azkals long-term?

• "As far as I know, I the #1 at the moment" -> Yes. In my list, too ;)

 

Video # 6

What do you like most about the Philippines?

• The fans and the people. Second time he's mentioned us.

What is your favorite place here? 

• Neil's a "massive fan of Manila." 

What is your favorite Filipino food? 

• Adobo. Any form of adobo. There's proof. Better start learning to make it.

Chris Greatwich said your Twitter was fake? 

• Chris Greatwich has too much time in his hands. Haha he said it!

Are you single? 

• Yes, he's single and he's not taking anyone to Paris because he's a very selective person a.k.a. just Simon Greatwich. 

Are you interested in joining showbiz?

• YES HE IS INTERESTED in joining showbiz because it's fun to be in front of a camera. Am I hearing this right? Didn't he just say that he wasn't because football's his priority? I'll look for that video...
• He greets fans in the end. Third mention. ;)
