Gary Neville turns back on Sky Sports host after he is CUT-OFF mid-rant live on Monday Night Football
GARY NEVILLE had his rant about Chelsea cut short by Dave Jones live on Sky Sports.
The Manchester United icon was in full flow when he was cut-off by Jones who was hosting Monday Night Football.
Neville was discussing Chelsea’s shortcomings during their 1-0 Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
But while trying to get his point across colleague Jones was forced to interrupt him to keep the show ticking to its time restraints.
The MNF host said: “Gary thank you…” before Neville quickly joked back to him “Thanks Dave” and shot a thumbs up to the screen in the studio.
The 49-year-old then hilariously turned around from the camera and left Jones in floods of laughter alongside Jamie Carragher and Gael Clichy who were in the studio alongside him.
Neville had been discussing his comments on Chelsea’s late cup final heartbreak in which he described Mauricio Pochettino’s team as “billion pound bottle jobs”.
But the typically honest pundit admitted he actually was feeling some regret over his harsh words that followed Virgil Van Dijk’s Wembley winner, saying: “I feel bad now”.
He went on to add: “Maybe bottle is a very strong word, but [they were] playing with absolute fear, freezing.
“Whatever you want to call it – that’s what we saw in extra-time and ultimately I don’t want that tag to stick with them.”

While Jamie Carragher made it clear that if Chelsea are to shake the nickname given to them by his punditry pal then they need to start lifting silverware.
He said: “Billion pound bottle jobs, it’s a great line. And unfortunately for Chelsea, whether they like it or not, that line is going to stick with them until they win something big.”
