Poor Phil Neville can’t even tweet a picture of his breakfast without being criticised

Naturally, the first thing on most of our minds when we woke up on Thursday morning was 'hey, what's Phil Neville having for breakfast?'

Fortunately, all we had to do was check the former Manchester United and Everton player's Twitter to find out. Fast forward a couple of hours later and here we are, writing a story about it. (Hello, Pulitzer Prize!) With a big day in store for Phil at the Star Sixes, he opted to start it with a plateful of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and bacon. https://twitter.com/fizzer18/status/885398012150898688 Ignoring the fact that there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that the former England international prepared the food himself, his breakfast (mainly the bacon element) and Phil himself were soon attracting criticism. What a cruel, cruel world... We kind of get what this one meant, even if describing the meat of a long-since-dead pig as 'terminally ill' doesn't really make that much sense. https://twitter.com/TheReturnOfGreg/status/885398344843091968 Generally speaking, the bacon was taking a real bashing... https://twitter.com/paulcahill1878/status/885421510030184449 https://twitter.com/Gilsenan0633/status/885431172326666240 https://twitter.com/mhallscouse/status/885399503448231936 Instead of just having a pop at some bacon, others decided to get a little more personal. Poor Phil. https://twitter.com/danirving1986/status/885399350041608192 https://twitter.com/MADCHESTER79/status/885439198798467073 https://twitter.com/Mentio00/status/885420353249574912 With Adam here deciding that eating this kind of breakfast made Phil a 'fucking meff' https://twitter.com/AdamWynne11/status/885423206919700480   Elsewhere, others took the breakfast as a sign that Phil was beginning a prison sentence. https://twitter.com/RiyazBhagat/status/885407664536076288 https://twitter.com/MADCHESTER79/status/885439198798467073 Others deemed it worthy of a visit from environmental health... https://twitter.com/salfordsmith61/status/885413311386460160 Even the fucking plate was drawing questions... https://twitter.com/Chezzy1985/status/885399427631939584
