It turns out Gary Neville's social media followers are not all Manchester United fans who only want the best for the former right-back.

As luck would have it, supporters of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are also regular visitors to Neville's Twitter page. And boy do they enjoy it when he's not having a great day. Wednesday did not exactly go to plan for the 42-year-old as he missed his train from London to Manchester. Neville vented his frustration to Virgin Trains with a fairly curt message. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854608832168943616 Then Simon was thrown under the bus... or train, if you prefer. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854610485412605952 He had proof of purchase and everything. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854613601377714176 And a reference number. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854614012302110720 Michelle tried to help. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854614391081381888 But it all came back to Simon again, the absolute arsehole. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/854617788035551232 There are few things more frustrating than missing a train and while there were some sympathetic responses from Neville's fans, the vast majority relished the fact that the United legend had been inconvenienced.
