VIDEO: Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher break their arses laughing about Michael Owen

The banter machines are back at it

We were so caught up watching Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher complete their typically in-depth breakdown of games that we skimmed over this gem.

After the pair finished talking about Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Hull on Monday night, they started discussing the legacy of certain shirt numbers.

And as Neville began listing some of the great players who wore the number 7 jersey at Manchester United – including George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo – Carragher cheekily suggested that Michael Owen ought to be make the list.

Raucous laughter ensued and host Ed Chamberlin even struggled to keep a straight face at the mention of Owen’s name among those United legends.

Who doesn’t love a joke at Michael Owen’s expense? Not us! In fact it’s what gets us out of bed in the morning.
