Gary Neville fails miserably in banter attempt with Jamie Carragher

Better luck next time, Gary!

FAIL!

To be fair, most people can admit that having Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher on our TV screens provides us with a good amount of entertainment.

If it is outrage over their perceived bias of their respective former clubs or just general ribbing between the two, there is always an incentive to watch Monday Night Football, even when it’s a *ahem* classic between Hull City and Stoke.

The two are clearly mates out of the studio which contributes to the overall level of humour which the former England internationals provide.

Whatever your opinion of Carragher and Neville, they are undoubtedly better than these two….

The two are also actively present on social media which allows us to observe their interactions with each other, not just on our television screens.

The latest example of ‘banter’ between the pair occured during Saturday’s clash between Tottenham and Bournmouth.

Spurs ran out 4-0 winners at White Hart Lane and there were some very impressive performances from the home side as they secured their seventh successive Premier League victory.

Harry Kane, making his return from an ankle injury, grabbed his side’s third goal after 48 minutes which all but ended any hope of a comeback from Eddie Howe’s team.

Carragher, a consistent fan of Kane, took to Twitter to outline his admiration for the England international.

Neville immediately responded but seemed a bit confused over Carragher’s use of punctuation…

Neville seemed to think that Carragher was asking a question, but it was clearly a statement i.e. ‘!’ instead of ‘?’.

As is the norm, people were quick to point out Neville’s mistake.

Neville has been active enough on social media for a while now to know to at least think before posting a tweet.

He received a timely reminder so maybe he will think twice next time.
