Never forget most Liverpool fans were cheering the arrival of City pipping us to a title in 2011/12. Only for the same cheating club to go on and steal multiple titles from their club.

To be fair neither did I
Keep him on the road!
Jill Scott isn’t great in the studio but she’s brilliant as a talking head on Gary Neville’s podcast. Far better than Gary or Jamie were in the beginning. She shows genuine curiosity and isn’t afraid of just asking an open question. No agenda or ego getting in the way of saying she doesn’t know. It’s really refreshing.
She’s a wonderful addition to that show. Gets on brilliantly well with Ian Wright too. Lowers the shouty banter dynamic and they spend far more time on topic than any of the others.
To be fair, I’m not really endorsing Jill Scott as a amazing pundit. Just saying that these guys talk about football as ex professionals, imo it really isn’t a job where this a huge or noticeable difference between the best and worst, and certainly not a big enough difference to overlook high profile spitting incidents for example.
Yeah, well put.
"maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way"
Agreed with Carra there. But, didn't know Klopp such a playa.
Relationship monsters.
Will anyone think of Rafa? poor man is now forgotten. He didn't win the most trophies but he was a relationship legend too, only replaced by a newer relationship legend (bellend).
This aged well Jamie lad.
I bet he’s crying into his Carlsberg right now.
He is getting mullered in the comments. He never fails to bring Liverpool into other club's success.
Did he really predict Dortmund to beat Madrid? That was never happening.
Exactly. He’s just a contrarian.
He became a bit of a fan after his visit in Dortmund for the match against PSG. I am quite sure that that sympathy played a big role in that prediction.
He's a dimwit is what he is
Absolutely correct.
He is a moron. Nev must fire his ass. His contributions on the overlap are piss poor; what a clown.
He will still tweet next season how ‘Man Cuty have been the best team in Europe for the last 5 years’. In fact, he usually goes a step further and bizarrely claims that ‘City and Liverpool have been the two best teams in Europe for the last 5 years’. While Real win the CL every year and Liverpool struggle to finish in the PL top two more often than not in the last 5 years.
He stopped pushing that narrative when Liverpool fell off a cliff and finished 3rd. To try saying with a straight face that Liverpool vs City is the greatest rivalry in PL history is about as laughable as claiming Chelsea vs City is the greatest PL rivalry because Conte won 1 title around the same period Pep won multiple titles with City.
No way he actually said that?
Trying to be fair, he did say "almost". He's also a reverse Pep in a way. The thing about people saying Guardiola has never had anything but the best players/resources. Klopp hasn't, and I don't think it attracts him. He might have been able to get that kind of gig post-Dortmund, definitely could now.
Dortmund and Liverpool fans certainly loved him and I'm not sure they'd have swapped him.
I mean there’s a lot to dislike and criticize Carragher for - but I don’t think getting predictions wrong warrants criticism
fair playCarragher is like ~5'11, couple of inches taller than Martinez at best. Seeing him beside Martinez after all the "too small" comments is making me real happy
He has really been reminded of that comment. Souness must be his mentor in the media stuff.
He is a terrible pundit and a coward - slags everyone (except Liverpool) off behind their backs and then sucks up in person.
His football knowledge leaves a lot to be desired….

Nah, let’s be honest his generally pretty good with his knowledge and significantly better than most of the other pundits. The only issue I have with him is he’s really brutal when he talks about United and unfair for example with calling Martinez out like he did in the 1st month.
You’re right though, it’s so awkward when he tries to be pals with everyone he criticises on camera. Loved it when Ronaldo snubbed him (even though Carragher was right)
Even if the Martinez criticism was over the top back when he joined United, Carragher is way better than Neville.
Neville and his nonsensical United beat downs are very repetitive. When United win, he suddenly is a United fan on social media. I like Neville but not his commentary or his balancing act he does to prove to rivals that he is a great pundit.

Disagree tbh. Think he's quite knowledgeable and good when he does analysis but he gets too caught up in the banter which he's cringy with.
