“THE ONLY MAN we could fine who’s more unpopular than Gary Neville’ was how Jamie Carragher introduced Craig Bellamy on Monday Night Football tonight.

Rather than opting on a direct replacement for Gary Neville, who left his role at Sky to take charge of Spanish club Valencia, it’s been confirmed that a new guest will appear alongside Carragher each week.

It was also confirmed tonight that ex-Chelsea star Frank Lampard would be appearing on the show next week.

Meanwhile, the verdict on Bellamy so far appears to be decidedly mixed…

Whoops!

Replacing Gary Neville with Craig Bellamy on #MNF is like replacing Matthew McConaughey with Vince Vaughn in True Detective.

Bellamy actually knows his football history. Mentioning Sacchi's influence on 4-4-2 in Italy? Bravo Craig. #MNF
