Shout if you think Gary Neville should go to the World Cup

Right back is a problem position in the England team, and with Wes Brown presumably out of the World Cup running, much of the focus is turning to the Christian Bale in The Machinist lookalike, Gary Neville, to fill his spot.

If he’s fit, Glen Johnson appears to be the only real option as a starter, but who should be his back up? Does Capello go for a specialist right back, or a versatile defender who can also cover the more central positions?

And, if so, who?

Below are some options. Let us know your thoughts with a vote and a comment.

Gary Neville - footballer, lover… author

Those who enjoyed Jamie Carragher’s autobiography will attest to the fact that, on paper at least, he loses the relentless snorting, hacking, and throat clearing that makes him almost impossible to comprehend in real life. Weirdly, his words read like actual English.

So, the great news is that Gary Neville - he who occasionally communicates in “up yours” gestures at Carlos Tevez - has been signed up to pen his memoirs by the same miraculous publishing house that made Carragher such a soft, almost poetic, flower.

This is why Carlos needs to hurry up and learn English …

As we reported earlier, Carlos Tevez‘ accusation of being publicly ‘disrespected’ by Gary Neville has been all over the nation’s papers today, with both The Sun and the Daily Mail carrying quotes direct from the wolfman’s mouth.

However, it seems those weren’t the only media outlets the Argentinean striker vented his frustrations to after Tuesday’s derby. Over in Spain, Mental Spanish Sports Paper Marca has been reporting Tev voiced some colourful opinions about his former captain during an interview with ESPN Radio, quoting him as saying:

Neville is an retard and a suck-up, he said I was not worth 35 million to look good in the manager’s eyes. My celebrations in both goals were directed at him, they were not for Ferguson or for the fans, just for Neville. I only do my talking on the pitch. I don’t know why the hell he talks about me when I never had any issues with him.

Ex-United favourite explains his Carling Cup celebrations

Today’s Sun is crowing about landing an exclusive with Carlos Tevez - one of those special ‘exclusives’ that aren’t very exclusive at all - featuring quotes from the City striker accusing Man United chief agitator Gary Neville of ‘disrespecting’ him.

The 23-year-old was on the receiving end of a sweary response from United’s captain on Tuesday night, after celebrating the first of his two goals  in Man City’s 2-1 Carling Cup win with a “mouthy” gesture - apparently aimed at Neville in response to his publicly stating Sir Alex Ferguson was right to let the Argentinean leave last summer.

Yes, that is what you think it is

The old saying about sticks and stones breaking bones is, frankly, wrong. Words can really hurt, as can mean gestures. Just ask Carlos Tevez, the snarling wolf-like striker who stuck it to his old club last night.

In light of his recent comments that United were right to get rid of the Argentine footballer, Gary Neville thought it wise to smear some extra salt into the wound by “flipping the bird” as Tevez celebrated scoring his first goal of the match.
