Gary Neville has been issued with his second warning of the season after sticking his middle finger up at Carlos Tevez on Tuesday. The United captain didn’t take too kindly to our former player celebrating the undeserved penalty in front of the dugout.
After being served a warning by the FA for celebrating Michael Owen’s late winner against City earlier in the season, fans were expecting a ban or a fine.
Instead, Neville has been served another warning from the FA, as has Tevez, and the club has been told his feud with the Argie midget has to stop.
Whilst sticking your finger up at someone is no great offence, Neville has been fined £5000 in the past for simply showing his badge to Liverpool supporters, so we may feel lucky that only a warning has been given.
But I do wonder what good it will do. If United go on to beat City in the second leg, particularly in dramatic circumstances, I can’t imagine Neville will celebrate modestly.
We should expect all sorts of hateful chants directed at our captain, particularly following Tevez’s bizarre outburst, so I really wouldn’t put it past Neville to go overboard if we knock City out of the League Cup next week.
Neville has played in just 14 of United’s 33 games this season due to injury and competition for places, so it’s not as if we would miss him from the starting XI, particularly when considering he has featured in just 6 Premiership matches. So paying a small percentage of his wage in fines to the FA would probably be worth it to celebrate in front of the away fans.
If I earned a five figure salary on a weekly basis, I know I would be prepared to give some of that away to piss off the bitters, so I have no doubt Neville feels the same way.
And in all honesty, I hope that is what happens. With Tevez playing Billy Big Balls this week, I would love for Neville to have the last laugh, and to behave like every United fan wishes they could.
When John O’Shea scored that injury time winner in front of the Kop, the Irishman revealed in his post match interview that our captain told him he dreamed of doing what JoS had done. Well, what I wouldn’t give to be on the field when our lads added another year of misery to Manchester City by dumping them out of the League Cup and kissing our badge in front of them. Neville probably feels the same and will be happy enough to take on any ban/fine that comes with rubbing their noses in it.
Roll on Wednesday!

I’m not sure if Neville could ever be described as a cult hero but he is certainly moving in that direction as he reaches the twilight of his career. Wouldn’t it be worth anything if he mooned the away end after scoring an overhead kick in the 8th minute of injury time to send us through?
How sweet it would be… beautiful indeed. And I totally agree, Nev would take it with a smile and a laugh if he were to be banned/fined. RedNev!!!
Let’s plow Hull to the ground today so we’ll get some confidence for Shitty… although I really belive the guys will be up for it anyway.
Hmm, I don’t know about that. Neville has been surprisingly quiet in the last few days and it’s probably for the best. If we do dump the bitters out, if he is going to gloat, I hope he doesn’t go overboard. I say leave the City fans out of it and just give Tevez a piece of his mind.
I know Gary disappointed some of our fans last Tuesday and that’s understandable. However, he is probably the last of a dying breed. It will be a long time before we get another captain who is truly, 100% one of us.
Gary Nev is united through and through and lets not forget he also is a Life Long Fan!
Let me think!… What did nev do to piss Tevezycunt off!
Erm.. State that he wasnt worth the 25 mil!
Well bollox to you tevez i didnt think you were worth it either, and neither did fergie and quite alot of the population of England!
Now if i was sitting in the first row and tevez ran over to me looked me in the eye and mimiced shut your mouth with his hand he really has to hope that
a) There are loads of stewards infront of me
b) He can run faster than me
c) I calm down by the time i catch the little cunt!
There is a great saying, he who laughs last laughs the longest.
At old trafford with our guys pumped up for revenge and the fact that they kow they cant let shity do this!
I can see a fantastic game, bring it on!
wouldnt it be great if he was running with the ball in the dipperz box,under pressure from da judas cunt, nev dives, pen given,tevez red card, rooney misses bt nev scores the rebound than duz an adebayor?
@Costas
Spot on.
I dont know what the dream finish would be, although 0-0 with 3 Minutes to go Gary Nev scoring a bundled shot (cant ever see him scoring a screamer! hahaha)…….
Nev Celebrates close to tevez with a solskajar knee slide !
5 Minutes of Injury time, 4 minutes in united corner crossed into the box nev rises and powers home a header…………
Nevs shirts off swinging round his head like ryan giggs celebration against arsenal in the fa cup when he scored the wonder goal!………… Only this time Nev is running rond in circles round belamy and tevez and watching the little cunts cry!

@huzi
I wouldnt want that level of disrespect to the shity supporters!.. With the cash they have i have accepted that it is only a matter of time before they win the league like it or not!
@trevor
win da league they may bt to catch united in terms of fans, cups n da rest will be atleast 25 years more
of topic but has any1 read dat da money-grabing whore tevez wantz 2 leave shitty 4 boca juniors.
I am sure he will go ballistic if we win the second leg, even if he has been warned, because Neville will always be Neville. I just hope he doesn’t go overboard and smash Tevez’s face up, as every current Utd player presumably would like to, to give us fans eternal happiness. I guess the most damage we can afford to do to the little Argie is to beat city and laugh as we see him put his hands on his hips, shake his head and pout.
@trevor
Well, he would have to start that game lol. Fergie might start with him for 2 reasons: 1) He might have better luck than Rafael against Bellamy. 2) He is fired up for that game and we could use that to our advantage.
Realistically though, I think Neville will start today and not on Wednesday. But if he does score the winner, then I will go through the roof!
The main thing I love about Gary is that, if you strip away everything he has done, everything he has won he’s just a normal United fan.
Sometimes he goes over the top in celebration when we secure a magnificent result but we all do that.
There are plenty of occasions where I’ve completely lost the plot because of a late winner!
Saying that I wouldn’t expect a ‘fuck you’ celebration from Neville if we reach the final, not that he would give a shit about the FA warning but he’ll just control himself I think.
@huzi
Missing the point with regards of city winning something. If city win the premier league we are going to be in for the biggest ribbing and having to watch them cunts parade the trophy!
Thats the point im making, I dont think they ever will have the fan base we have irrespective of how much they win!
@Costas
Yeah i agree with regards to nev, although raf has the pace he still is naieve and very inexperienced.
As a footballer irrespective of who he is playing for i think bellamy is a fantastic player, Very smart, Fast, Eye for goal and his crossing is generaly good! Downsides are he plays for shity and is the biggest cunt in the game!
@trevor
Yeah I agree about Bellamy. He is very talented. The last 2 attributes you mention hamper him. You look at the dippers’ strikers (NGog and Voronin) and you wonder why they let him go.
Lets hope whoever is our right back will keep him in their back pocket!
But one year ago you all sang ARGETINA ARGETINA, now you refer to Carlos as that that ‘little argie midget’, you argued on this site and others of the point of Gary chuckle at your club and your constant referrance to the ‘bitters’ is begining for us to be our badge of honor (irony). Your days are possibly not over yet I agree, however, you must recognise theres a new player in the playground and your reluctance to accept this makes you look rather silly. You have set a very high standard it has to end some day I just dont think you are ready to accept it but by blasting City you re-enforse the reallity of our threat !!!!!!!!!!!
@Mr Mancini
Didn’t Sir Alex himself say that City could be a threat? Besides, what I have said, and what players like Giggs and Beckham have said too, is that it takes more than money.
Yes, last season United fans were chanting Argentina. And yes, they were asking Fergie to sign him up, even when he was addressing the Old Trafford crowd. All that, and yet Tevez signed for Man City even though United made the offer he wanted. The duplicity lies more with Tevez than the United fans on this one.
Neville is a f@*king legend he loves the club and would die for united, in years to come when no player will be loyal u guys will look back and say “Gary Neville, boy did he love utd!” I hope he either scores against city or takes Tevez out the game even if he gets sent off its worth it!!
What EVER happens this season i dont care, all I care for is to beat city on wednesday and for that Gary Cook to get rushed by 100 utd fans!
Im up for it need another 99 lads lol!!
LOVE UNITED HATE GLAZERS
Will make little difference to Neville what happens to him. Ferguson will keep him in the squad till he is forty so he can be there to antagonise other teams and their supporters.
Costas Said
My point is that Utd fans are moulded into a them and us mentality (Proberbly from the top down) and sometimes you may be right to defend a stance. BUT to hide behind the stance that ALL things not Man U are shite is just plain daft. Teves signed for City, be it for money, lack of respect, being frozen out or just a plain simple better offer he signed for City as Kidd, Barnes, Law, and dare you whisper it Busby have done in the past, he now plays and plays regularly for City. However, defending Utd and failing to address other issues by pretending Gary Chuckle is right to defend the manager, is on our side of the playground playing into our hands. Carlos is part of a bigger picture developing, not perhaps you but other should take a closer look at other things at your club and perhaps not just follow your leader to …………………..who knows.
mufcmyreligion,
are you seeing a social worker……….you need one quickly !!!!!!
@Mr Mancini
I am a Man United supporter for the last 15 years, so the only player that I have witnessed wear both jerseys(before Tevez of course), is Andy Cole who nearly won the derby in September of 2005. Personally, I really didn’t mind. Albeit, it wasn’t a direct transfer across town, but with Andy you got the sense that as bitter as he was about leaving United, he was grateful for his time at the club.
Personally, my main concerns at the moment are the debts and our incompetent medical team. Tevez is just the flavor of the week so to speak. I wouldn’t have a problem critisizing Neville. For example, the finger gesture wasn’t the best conduct for a captain(although we have see worse from Gerrard, Terry and Fabregas!). I just don’t find anything wrong with his comments before the game. He wasn’t sucking up to Ferguson. Giggs said the same things post game. The only problem I guess, as Giles Oakley has stated, was that those comments fired up Tevez.
@mr mancini
How long you think u going to be there for?
Ur clubs a joke, and so are your fans your dream will be over soon and come back on this site when u have real silverware to shout out about ur jus like ur gary cook – A JOKE!!!!!! Ur two upfront tevez and adabeyour are still not over their ex clubs but yet u love them!
I suppose another clubs rubbish is man citys treasure!
LOVE UNITED HATE GLAZERS
@mancin
no mate i just know actions speak louder than words something man citeh have no idea about!!
costas
you seem a reasonable guy, stand back for one moment, look at the bigger picture.
Youve an ageing squad, your manager (as good as he has been for you) nearing the end of his dictatorship and god help the one who follows and….. no money. why do Utd fans slaughter City for daring to have a go rather than challenge the status quo that perpetuates from Trafford ? It seems to me that you feel City should exist for the sole perpose of chalking up different numbers on a banner in the ground. 34 years of nonsence 5 minuites of dreaming of what could be and all that seems to come our way is a tide of…………………..
look forward to the debate my red friend
mufcmyreligion
What the hell have city ever done to you that makes you dislike them to the level you feel a need to write nonesnce about.
@Mr Mancini
You also seem reasonable. I think what you are saying, along with City supporters saying United fans are not from Manchester belongs in the banter category. When you have rival clubs, each set of fans will have their own repertoire. It’s not about City potentially growing as a club. If they can have a go, I say that’s great. It might help us become better in the preocess. I just don’t like hearing that our time is definitely over, that City will take over etc etc. No one has a divine right to be at the top forever, however Man United are not dead and buried yet. There are issues that have to be dealt with over the next 5 years, but for now all we can do is focus on this season and how we will deal with the challenge you guys are posing.
Likewise, looking forward to more debates.
mancini
Well mate who likes a club who are too big for their boots? If they went about things in a dignified way then maybe i’d think different of them I dont care wha any fan or professional says about them I dont see them as competition so thats not what winds me up its that I dislike this new attitude of there’s which is they believe they have a god given right to be talked about in the same breath as UTD, CHELSEA and ARSENAL, one sec……….
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!!!!
I maybe a stubborn fan but i give credit where its due eg. Villa, spurs, and everton have worked hard to try and break into the top 4 and if they do this season well fairplay cuz moyes, o neil and harry have worked hard at those clubs to make them successfull! What have City or MANCINI done for any fan or professional to give them credit!!!!!!!!!!!!
mufcmyreigion
what have the romans done for us type thread
* Gave the city a Commonwealth games. (With a sustainable stadium
* Created thousands of jobs.
* Brought thousands of visitors to the city.
* Of late pumped millions of pounds into the local economy with new community innitiatives helping reds as well as blues.
* Early proposals to create an Abu Dabi sky line in the east of Manchester with tens of thousands of jobs created.
* Raising the profile of this ace city.
* I’ll talk about football on another thread.
But dont ever underestimate what city have done. You claim Villa, Spuds, Everton have gone about things the proper way, well what is the proper way, I presume finishing behind you every season my friend.
it must grate you, but look at what City have done for our City and then tell me we are irrellevent !!!!!
I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the Stretford End for Wednesday and I can’t fucking wait.
I have a dream that United nab a last minute winner and all 11 men, no matter where they are on the pitch at the time, leg it to the Stretford End and cup their hands behind their ears Tevez style and soak up the roars of the crowd!
How fucking awesome would that be? And the F.A. couldn’t whinge ‘cos the Reds would just be celebrating with their own fans!
A man can dream…
Can we not have a last minute scenario please. I will not last that long – I would prefer a 5-0 walloping, with a first minute goal, and 2 up in 10 mins, thank you very much.
mr mancini go f@*k citeh on ur own website, feed them all ur bull and change your name to Garry Cook!!!
