Jamie Carragher in stitches as Gary Neville slips up with comments about Leeds fans live on TV
Jamie Carragher burst out into laughter on Monday night as Gary Neville made an embarrassing slip-up. The duo were appearing on Sky Sports’ first Monday Night Football of the season for Leeds‘ 1-0 win over Everton at Elland Road. Carragher was in stitches after Neville’s awkward moment on TVSky Sports Neville was left red-faced as he explained himselfSky Sports And the awkward moment occurred just minutes before kick-off, as Neville was caught out by an ad break ending. Just as the adverts came to an end, coverage cut back to the Sky Sports studio and audio was turned on. But it came at a bad time for the ex-Man United defender, who could be heard speaking about the Leeds fans with Carragher and co. Footage of the home support was being shown and Neville said in discussion with host David Jones: “They are the one group of fans I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near.” The presenters then instantly burst out in laughter as they realised that the words not meant for camera were broadcast live on TV. Neville then added whilst chuckling: “Did you hear that?” He quickly stood by his comment and repeated it before more laughter filled the studio in a very funny pre-match moment. Host Jones then moved things swiftly on, saying: “I don’t think they want you anywhere near them either, so it’s fine!” After the game, Carragher couldn’t help to bring up the mistake again whilst watching Leeds fans celebrating their win, with Neville joking: “Thankfully I’m not with them!” “You’re not going to let him live this down, are you?” Jones said to Carragher as the trio burst out laughing yet again.
