In the superb 'Best of Enemies' documentary about his rivalry with Patrick Vieira, Roy Keane revealed that it was in defence of Gary Neville that he got stuck into the Frenchman, during the legendary Highbury tunnel bust-up of 2005.
Keane thought Vieira was picking on the players less likely to fight back. 'Pick on someone your own size,' he told Vieira.
The evidence of what can only be described as 'Gary Neville v Arsenal: The Rematch' demonstrated that the right-back turned analyst no longer needs anyone to fight his corner.
Neville, whose almost emotional evisceration of 'spineless' Arsenal in last Sunday's Carabao Cup Final proved even more memorable than the match, went straight in among the fans outside the Emirates last night.
