Gary Neville upsets MNF viewers with ‘stupid teams’ comment

With Manchester United's top four hopes all but ended on Sunday afternoon, a look at Jose Mourinho's first season at Old Trafford was an obvious talking point on Monday Night Football.

Analysing United's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal over the weekend, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher highlighted how deep Mourinho's wide players had been at The Emirates, to the point where they helped form what the pundits described as a 'back six'. As the pair attempted to explain where things had gone wrong for United in the league, Neville pointed towards the points dropped in home matches against teams many would have expected them to beat. Unfortunately for Neville, his description of some of these teams as 'stupid teams' didn't go down too well with some of those watching. "Where they've dropped most points and where they've been disastrous has been at home," he said. "They've dropped ten, 12 points at home to stupid teams." Although clearly a throwaway comment that wasn't intended to cause offence, plenty were quick to pounce on his use of the word 'stupid'. Take George, for example. Even though his Newcastle team haven't played in the Premier League this season, he still felt the need to record the clip and tweet Neville and the Monday Night Football Twitter account demanding an explanation. https://twitter.com/toonarmy59/status/861652675791904769 He wasn't the only one to notice, with many taking issue with the remark. https://twitter.com/MasonWebb14/status/861650534935257089 https://twitter.com/isimplyuseford/status/861653122602684420 https://twitter.com/Mark_Symonds/status/861651867180437504 https://twitter.com/leemcm1976/status/861650561661366272 https://twitter.com/udrivebarnsley/status/861651176097447937 https://twitter.com/jamieson_alan/status/861651268867149824 https://twitter.com/Maria20131967/status/861651723777179653 https://twitter.com/rdw4591/status/861651102088953857 https://twitter.com/LamoureuxLandon/status/861651826650886144
