Gary Neville

Though not the player I supported most in Manchester, I have to agree and respect what he said for once!

''What are you meant to do? Smile sweetly and jog back to the halfway line?' Neville told The Times.
'You are caught up in the moment and, yes, for a few seconds you can go bananas. I laughed when I heard someone say that it was not the behaviour of a 30-year-old because they are probably the same people who have accused us of lacking passion in recent games.
'No disrespect to Liverpool was intended. I would have been apologetic if I had run up to one of their players and tried to belittle them, but this was a celebration.
'Last week, I had to put up with a Liverpool lad taunting our fans during the Manchester derby, but at no point did I even consider that Robbie Fowler should be punished. The stick is part of the game. One week you take it on the chin, the next you give it out. That is how local rivals have always been - and always should be.
'I have to put up with Liverpool fans singing plenty of songs about me, none of them tasteful, and I struggle to believe that I have caused them any grave offence with an exuberant celebration.
'Increasingly people seem to want their footballers to be whiter than white and there are calls for sanctions over every little incident. Do they want a game of robots?''

Darn the Liverpool fans. I always maintain my stand as I don't hate other teams other than Arsenal (for their cockiness) and Chelsea(for their wealth) but Liverpool? Think they were too boring for me to hate and so what if they are on the rise now? I am just glad for them. But come on Liverpool fans, there's no need to fall in grace like the Arses and Chees...!
