Gary Neville suggested he would be happy to appear on Arsenal Fan TV recently, and it looks like he’s a man of his word.
The former Manchester United right-back said he would be up for an appearance, having criticised Gunners fans for their reaction to the club’s 3-1 defeat at Chelsea, and footage released by the fan channel showed that an interview had indeed been set up.
Welcome to the world of modern football.

Four Arsenal Fan TV favourites were sat with host Robbie Lyle and Neville, and the group can be seen chatting amicably about recent events, despite their difference of opinion.
It was however in the Monday Night Football studio that the fans appeared to have the most fun, with Claude proclaiming, “it’s a nice day,” while Troopz seemed a little more excited.

Neville has experienced a number of recent disputes through social media, most notably debating Arsene Wenger’s position as manager with Piers Morgan, as well as exchanging tweets with journalist Henry Winter.

Do I have a right to an opinion also? Its my OPINION that a fan who prints a banner V a man who has given 20 years service is an idiot. https://t.co/IuvNOt8hul

We’ll see if the full-back has met his match when the full interview is released later this week – if it’s anything like his encounters with the north London side on the pitch, it could well be worth a watch.
