Former Republic of Ireland International and Liverpool star John Aldridge had to text Jamie Carragher regarding Gary Neville's commentary on Sky Sports.
The Man United legend was working the Arsenal vs Liverpool clash last Sunday, and many Reds were angered by his remarks during the game.
When Neville started commentating for Sky, he almost over compensated when it came to Liverpool, but in recent months, particularly since Jurgen Klopp has left, the ex Premier League right back can't seem to hide his distain for the Anfield faithful.
Whenever Bukayo Saka scored, the Englishman was celebrating on commentary but became deathly silent following Virgil van Dijk's equaliser, and it did not go unnoticed.
Replying to a tweet on social media regarding the commentary, Aldridge revealed that he actually texted Carragher about it at half time.

In Neville's defence, Saka's goal was especially impressive, and it may be more down to English bias than actually visibly rooting against another team while on air.
However, some suspect that his pre-season predictions might be the root cause of his change in tone when it comes to Liverpool.
Neville said categorically that United would finish ahead of Liverpool this season, and that the Reds would not make the top four because there will be a real drop-off following Klopp's departure, just as there was at his club when Alex Ferguson left.
At the time Carragher made the point that Neville always makes that claim, and it always comes back to bite him, and it appears to be the case once again as Liverpool have only lost one of their opening 13 games, winning 11 and drawing once, while United have got off to their worst start in Premier League history.
