Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher joins forces with Gary Neville after Sky Sports 'snub'

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have joined forces for a cheeky dig at Sky Sports.

The Liverpool legend was strangely excluded from the broadcaster's list of pundits as they unveiled their line-up for the new season.

Needless to say, Neville was quick to spot the conclusion and drew attention to it on Twitter.

Carragher joked that it was just a continuation of his playing career and that his contribution as a pundit was being taken for granted.

He said: "Taken for granted at our clubs, now Sky..."

Carragher even referred to the snub when live on air on Friday evening.

Whilst appearing on Sky's Friday Night Football Premier League preview show, Carragher asked Neville a question - which prompted a look of surprise from both his punditry partner and host Kelly Cates.

Carragher joked he was merely trying out a new role as he is apparently no longer a pundit.

He said: "I wasn't included as a pundit earlier so I thought I was here as a presenter."

The former Liverpool defender is, of course, going to be one of Sky's main pundits this season along with Neville.

Also included on the list are regulars Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness.

Roy Keane, Micah Richards and Patrice Evra all look set to be given expanded roles at Sky for the new season.
