GARY NEVILLE clashed with Roy Keane as he labelled West Ham stars “idiots”.
The Hammers announced earlier this week that manager David Moyes will leave the club this summer.
And West Ham fans are set to give their boss a huge send off after their final home game of the season against Luton on Saturday.
Predicting the scores of this weekend’s fixtures on The Overlap’s Stick to Football show Neville felt Moyes would say goodbye with a win.
The Manchester United legend said: “I think they will give him an amazing reception and I think the players will be up for it.”
But due to them suffering an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Chelsea last Sunday, Keane interjected: “Why didn’t they thank him last week?

“We’ll be up for it this week, forget last week by the way. Idiots.”
Neville hit back: “I’m not defending West Ham’s players, I’m just saying there will be a thank you type environment.”
Keane predicted that Luton would win 2-1 as his old team-mate joked he was only saying that because “he’s had a falling out with the West Ham players.”
But the no-nonsense Irishman continued as he ranted: “Yeah, they are officially a joke.

“We turn up when we want. We needed a change of manager. That’s why they never win nothing.”
However, one of the reasons why Neville is expecting Moyes to get a huge send off is due to the club lifting the Europa Conference League trophy last season.
Ex-Real Madrid and Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is set to replace Moyes in the dugout.
The 57-year-old has agreed terms with the club and is set to be unveiled as the new manager at the end of the season.
Inside David Moyes’ West Ham exit as Hammers boss rowed with technical director and had contract offer withdraw
By Jack Rosser
REGARDLESS of how it has ended, David Moyes leaves West Ham a club great and a history-maker.
The Scot, 61, did not want to go like this, his departure confirmed before the end of the season with his squad in a spiral and rows with the technical director.
Moyes has insisted all year long that he would wait until the summer to make a decision on his future on his own terms – but that option has been taken away from him.
These final months and weeks have clouded a tenure at the London Stadium which no one saw coming – and could be quickly missed if the next steps are not carefully taken.
Having been overlooked after keeping West Ham in the Premier League during his first spell in East London, Moyes returned in December 2019 to keep them afloat once more.
The ex-Manchester United manager did just that and then took the Hammers to heights they could not have imagined.
