      by

      The Sky Sports pundit, 47, had last week predicted that Mikel Arteta’s side would not be crowned Premier League champions this season.
      He predicted that Man City would pip them and that United would eventually finish second.
      But as he was filming his latest episode of his Sky Sports podcast with Martin Tyler in the gantry after full-time, things got a little worrying for the ex-England defender.
      As he was speaking, a supporter shouted something at Neville over his shoulder, leading to him saying: “I think there’s some Arsenal fans having a little bit of a pop.”

      He then turned around and said: “You alright, lads? Are Arsenal going to win the league?
      “I don’t think you will! But that’s life! But you’re having a great season, well done.”
      Both Neville and Tyler started laughing, but the former’s tone soon changed as fans continued to shout at him.
      He said: “I don’t know whether it’s going to turn a little bit nasty, this, from a little bit of good humour.”

      Neville managed to keep his composure as a fan dangled a scarf directly behind him before his hecklers eventually departed and allowed him to continue.
      It comes just a week after Neville stated his belief that Arsenal’s charge to the title would soon collapse.
      He told Sky Sports: “They won’t win the league. Manchester City will win the league, and I think Man Utd will finish second, and I know that will annoy Arsenal fans.
      “I think at some point Man City will hit a run. Once they do, they’ve got to play Arsenal twice. At some point, there will be a very difficult period for Arsenal this season.
      “Is it conceivable that Arsenal are going to continue as they are? I don’t think it is.”
      Over 16,000 supporters have now liked a tweet from “The Arsenal Therapy Show” calling for Neville to be banned from the Emirates.
      But after noticing the numbers, Neville was a good sport this morning and replied on Twitter: “I will sign it. Thought I was fair yesterday as well.” More

      Dad David would’ve been celebrating in the 17th minute when United hitman Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a stunning solo strike.
      It wasn’t long, however, before former Arsenal schoolboy Romeo was celebrating as Eddie Nketiah levelled the scores with a header seven minutes later.

      Bukayo Saka fired the Gunners into the lead in the 53rd minute with a superb strike from distance.
      But their lead lasted just six minutes as a stooping header from Lisandro Martinez put United back on level terms.

      Romeo, however, had the last laugh as Nketiah struck in the 90th minute to extend the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table to five points.
      And he trolled his dad by posting a selfie of them outside the Emirates after the match – in which he celebrated as the Red Devils legend looked glum.
      He wrote on Instagram: “Sleep tight dad @davidbeckham.”
      David’s allegiances to Manchester United didn’t stop proud Arsenal fan Romeo – who was in their youth system as a schooboy – from sporting Gunners colours as they watched the game.

      His touchline antics have been heavily criticised but Arteta has defiantly refused to tone it down.
      And in Sunday’s all-important clash with Man Utd, Arteta was contesting every decision.
      After Luke Shaw pushed over Gunners No7 Bukayo Saka, Arteta got overly animated and was shown a yellow card by Anthony Taylor.
      Ex-England international Matthew Upson believes Arteta is a talking point among referees.

      Upson told BBC Radio 5Live: “I wonder if Arteta’s activity on the touchline has been a talking point among the referees for the last few games. I wouldn’t be surprised.”He was unbelievable in the game against Newcastle and he went too far.

      “They are trying to make a point of him needing to tone it down a bit.
      “You can’t be that in the face of the officials – or anyone else, for that matter.”

      Eddie Nketiah did get the Gunners back on level terms shortly after, though.

      The 21-year-old sent a thumping effort low into the left corner of the goal.
      But as Arsenal did to Man Utd in the first half with an instant response, the Red Devils did the same.

      Nketiah then snatched the 3-2 win and three points for Arsenal right at the death.
      The striker turned in captain Martin Odegaard’s on-target strike.
