Carragher reveals Neville’s fearful Liverpool half-time title text
JAMIE CARRAGHER has revealed Gary Neville’s hilarious half-time text when the Manchester United legend feared rivals Liverpool would win the Premier League.
Manchester City and Liverpool were battling for the title on the final day of the season.
Pep Guardiola’s men had to beat Aston Villa. If they didn’t, they had to hope Wolves would take points off Liverpool.
But come half-time, Villa were 1-0 up at the Etihad thanks to a goal by Matty Cash, which prompted Neville to send a text to Carragher.
Carragher revealed what Neville said on the Overlap, with the United legend calling the prospect of the Reds lifting the title a “f***ing disaster”.
In the message, Neville said: “***** City, you do your job, you’ll win this.
“It’s a f***ing disaster of monstrous proportions… I’m f***ing off if you win this!”
One fan said on Twitter: “I love the fact that you can both laugh at yourselves (and each other).
“You genuinely look like you’re having fun and that’s what makes it such a good watch.
“Add in Roy Keane for his no-nonsense feedback and it’s unmissable.”
