Gary Neville gives Jamie Carragher some brutal advice on how to win a Premier League title after he ‘couldn’t rise above’ Pep Guardiola’s jibe at his lack of trophies – and had to hit back with attack on Man City’s 115 charges

Gary Neville has offered some tongue-in-cheek wisdom to his Sky Sports co-pundit Jamie Carragher amid the Liverpool legend's feud with Pep Guardiola.

The City boss took aim at the duo and Micah Richards over their suggestions that the reigning champions may have become complacent, claiming neither of them had ever won four titles in a row.

The Treble winners are looking to make history with a run of four consecutive Premier League titles, with Neville's United the only other side to have won three in a row.

However, Carragher was quick to respond and said he believes he would have won a league title if Liverpool could boast the same fortunes as City, while also suggesting the Citizens had 'played by the rules'.

Now Neville has had his own say, but instead of responding directly to the Man City manager, he decided to jokingly take a jab at his friend Carragher.

'Of course we start with the fact that the old master Pep got at me and Carra for not winning four times in a row – sorry Pep, apologies for that – and at my friend James from Liverpool for not participating in Premier During his career no national title celebrations at all, which made me chuckle a bit,” he began on TikTok, jokingly poking fun at his friend.

'But the dirty Scouse dog Carragher had to go back to Pep, didn't he? He couldn't rise above it and see it as a compliment, telling Pep: “If I had been owned by a nation state or had 115 charges against me and followed the rules, I would probably have won a Premier League. ” “.

'Carra, I think you would have won a Premier League title, mate, if you hadn't kept kicking the ball into the back of your own net! That would have been a huge help to your team!'

The Sky pundits' comments came in the wake of the 3-3 draw against Tottenham – a third consecutive league draw for the champions, after being held by Chelsea (4-4-) and Liverpool (1-1) in a difficult series. games for the citizens.

It was also the second game in a row in which they have conceded a goal in the 90th minute or later, with City seemingly struggling to see the results of conceding eight goals late in three draws – their worst run in the Premier League since 2017.

That said, they've almost had the toughest stretch of matches possible; Arsenal (a), Brighton (h), Manchester United (a), Bournemouth (h), Chelsea (a), Liverpool (h), Tottenham (h) and now Aston Villa (a) on Wednesday evening.

Addressing the three Sky pundits during his pre-match press conference against Villa, the City boss said: 'Gary Neville knows how difficult it is, otherwise he would have won four Premier Leagues in Manchester United's best period.

'But he didn't do it. Maybe they accuse us of complacency because they felt complacency (at United). Maybe they felt it. This team has no chance so far.

“Jamie Carragher hasn't won one (title). Micah Richards didn't win four Premier Leagues in a row. Never. It never happened.

'To be honest, I have nothing to say about the experts. That's not what it's about (complacency). Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it's about complacency.

'I know the players, I know how they run. The way we behave is extraordinary. I feel if we maintain that level we will win the Premier League. We will win it again.'

City are currently third in the top flight with 30 points, behind Liverpool (31) and Arsenal (36), although both they and the Reds play their ties on Wednesday and could close the gap on the Gunners.
