Well, he must do, cos this is bizarre otherwise. He's clearly had some shit about being complementary to us on Sky.
The comments about the 1996 Cup Final are spot on though TBH.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has accused Liverpool of giving Chelsea a "helping hand" in the 2009/10 Premier League title race.
The Old Trafford club had hoped to close in on a record-breaking 19th domestic title but saw all hopes dashed after the West Londoners left Anfield triumphant after a 2-0 win.
Although United would surpass Liverpool's tally just 12 months later, Neville - who has become a media pundit - has claimed that his club's long-standing adversaries 'eased off' against Chelsea.
"Some thought it would be a big test for them playing at Anfield with a couple of games to go and the title still up for grabs," he wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday.
"But at United we knew that Liverpool would ease off if that meant depriving us of the championship, especially a 19th championship that would take us past their record.
"We'd heard rumours during the week that some Liverpool players had turned round to one of their young lads and said: 'There's not a f****** chance we're going to let United win this league.'
"I've no idea whether that rumour was true or not, but you could see the game was a nice end-of-season stroll for Liverpool.
"You could see half their players were on their summer holidays. Yet we couldn't complain, not publicly. It was up to us to make sure we weren't in a vulnerable position.
"But it didn't say much for Liverpool."
Neville, 36, also took aim at the Reds side that lost the 1996 FA Cup final to United.
Eric Cantona's stoppage time goal proved the difference between the sides and Neville believes that Roy Evans's players were distracted by their well-documented extracurricular activities.
He added: "The Liverpool team we faced in 1996 had talent but their professionalism wasn't close to ours at United.
"They turned up at Wembley for the FA Cup final wearing shocking white suits, looking like they had done most of their preparations in the tailors.
"Perhaps those Liverpool lads have no regrets from their careers.
"I don't doubt they enjoyed themselves.
"But, at United, the time to party is when you've won something."
