Liverpool fans reminded Manchester United icon Gary Neville of what one supporter described as "the worst piece of punditry" in football history - after he announced he was "not nervous" before his old club lost 7-0 at Anfield.
Honestly, do you know, this bunch are tough."
Looking back over this faux pas from Neville, one fan quoted the post and could not resist engaging in some light humor at the Red Devils legend's expense, saying: "Happy anniversary to all who celebrate," as a second said: "'This bunch are tough' might be the worst piece of punditry in the history of the sport."
A third then chipped in to offer some feedback to the outspoken Sky Sports pundit, saying: "Classic G-Nev before his team got absolutely destroyed, then he turned around and said Liverpool didn’t even play that well," before a fourth added: "Look at how smug he is hahahaha won’t see anything like that again for a long time."

Reacting after what was a historic game, he admitted: "The 7-0 we knew that day, it was a freak result that happens once in a lifetime.
"If it helps anyone for the next game it is the team who lost 7-0 and not the team who won 7-0
If you take it all out of consideration and just play a football game against the historical rival of Liverpool at home at Anfield that itself must make it a special game and that’s what I want to see from us, a special game.”
Fast forward a couple of years and it is clear that Neville is determined not to make a similar mistake as he predicted that old foes Liverpool will clinch the Premier League title this term
The only thing you would say is that the team that is behind you is there waiting for you… but the team that are behind them are NOT their waiting for them
