Gary Neville Dismisses Rickie Lambert Rant in Social Media Spat

Gary Neville has dismissed Rickie Lambert's recent rant on social media, calling it "strange" and "unnecessary."

The former Manchester United defender was responding to Lambert's criticism of his punditry, in which the ex-Liverpool striker accused Neville of being "out of touch" and "not understanding the game."

Neville took to Twitter to respond to Lambert's comments, saying that he found them "strange" and "unnecessary." He also accused Lambert of being "bitter" and "jealous" of his success as a pundit.

The spat between the two former players has divided opinion on social media, with some people siding with Neville and others supporting Lambert.

Lambert's criticism of Neville stemmed from the latter's comments about Liverpool's recent poor form. Neville had said that Liverpool were "in a mess" and that they were "not playing like a team." Lambert, a former Liverpool player, took offense to these comments and accused Neville of not understanding the game.

Neville has defended his comments, saying that he was simply stating his opinion. He also said that he has no problem with Lambert criticizing him, but he does not appreciate being accused of being "out of touch" and "not understanding the game."

The spat between the two former players is likely to continue, with both men unlikely to back down from their positions.
