Speaking about Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky’s pass whilst looking the other way against Brighton in the FA Cup today, Neville said that if a player did that in training then he’d try and two foot them, despite praising it earlier in the day. Here’s what people thought:
Brilliant pass from Rosicky look one way pass the other!

Apparently, though, it was all tongue in cheek!
The Rosicky "look one way pass the other" piece was tongue in cheek by someone who wasn't capable of doing such!!!
