Gary Neville has revealed why he and fellow pundit Jamie Carragher often get in trouble with Sky bosses.
The pair are regulars on Sky Sports, including on fan favourite Monday Night Football. The Liverpool and Manchester United rivalry has made them a popular pairing, however, the mention of politics will still get them hundreds of complaints.
Back in January, both Neville and Carragher appeared on Friday Night Football to preview Brighton vs Crystal Palace at the Amex. While they usually poke fun at each other, on this occasion it was Prime Minister Boris Johnson who was the subject of a joke.

Neville said ahead of the game: "It is a peculiar rivalry, but to be fair we get these Friday night football matches, we were at the Brentford one last time it was absolutely fantastic. We always seem to just get a massive party."
"Let's be straight tonight though this is not a party this is about work," Carragher added. "If you speak to Graham Potter, Patrick Vieira, those 22 players on the pitch - they have got to know the difference between work and a party and if they get that wrong and think they are in party mode, they are going to be in big, big trouble."
The remark referring to Partygate did not go down well with some viewers, or Sky executives, as Neville later revealed in an interview.
He's quoted in the Sunday People saying: "We got a right b**ocking for that. We have about 1,000 complaints from Ofcom every f**** week.
"The amount who complain about me and Carragher is unbelievable. If we mention politics we get a call usually from the hierarchy at Sky."
