Gary Neville doubles down on his 'billion pound bottle jobs' jibe at Chelsea, admits it was pre-planned, reveals his post-commentary talks with a Sky producer - and says Arsenal were similar last year

Gary Neville has doubled down on branding Chelsea 'billion pound bottle jobs' for their display in extra-time against Liverpool in losing the Carabao Cup final.

The pundit's pre-planned jibe has been a significant talking point ever since, with Mauricio Pochettino biting back and calling the quip 'unfair' in a seven-minute monologue.

Simon Jordan also slammed Neville 'and his little Overlap gang', while Gary Lineker and Ally McCoist also criticised him.

And now the former Manchester United man has spoken in detail about his line, whether he regrets it and the thought process behind saying it.
