Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has aimed a dig at fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville after the former Manchester United defender went viral this week.
Both the former rivals of the Reds and the Old Trafford club have been known to enjoy a jibe at one another after building an eye-catching partnership as part of Sky's Premier League coverage. The full-back has enjoyed a successful punditry career as well as boasting a highly-respected business portfolio since calling time on the football pitch.
Neville was again doing the rounds when a clip of his episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast speaking with Stephen Bartlett, which aired in August 2022, became widely spread across social media.

In the clip, the 48-year-old said: "What you can have is mini retirements during the year and that's what I've tried to do, I don't do it very well. So for instance, this weekend I'm going to Spain, Friday until Monday morning. I call that like a mini retirement."
The podcast host added: "That's a weekend!"
However, the comment that caught the eye most was his explanation of what a "weekend" outside of football is for him. He continued: "It's a weekend, it's a mini retirement. I basically say for three days I'm there and I'm basically taking it...
"I don't think about work - and I will - but sometimes my best ideas come when I'm on these type of trips but then in six weeks I'll have another mini retirement for five days or four days, rather than thinking you're going to stop for six months and sort of have a sabbatical.
"That's not probably going to happen with people like you or I because we just basically don't work that way. So to have lots of mini retirements during the year is what I've tried to do in the last few years."
Carragher was in the studio at Goodison Park for Everton's final day survival against Bournemouth. The Blues remain among the Reds in the Premier League thanks to Abdoulaye Doucoure's strike.
As the curtain comes down on the 2022-23 season, the former professional footballers who were on the panel - Roy Keane and Micah Richards - were discussing plans for the summer, the 45-year-old aimed a dig.
"It’s a mini retirement. We’re not going on holiday, it’s a mini retirement. That’s all it is," he said.
