During his acceptance speech at the Sports Journalists’ Association awards on Monday evening, Jamie Carragher playfully teased Gary Neville, pointing out that Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football had won Television Show of the Year due to its respected journalism and wide audience reach. Carragher often appears on the show with host David Jones and frequently discusses matches with Neville before and after the games. During the event last night where he received an award, Carragher mentioned Neville’s absence and humorously suggested it was because he had not won the Pundit of the Year award. Carragher started his speech by acknowledging how challenging it can be for former players to recapture the excitement they felt during their playing days. What I enjoy most about the show is the feeling of anticipation and thrill it brings me just before it begins. We are able to delve deeper into the intricacies of football. Amad has shown that Manchester United made the correct assessment of him. Sir Alex Ferguson’s opinion about Gareth Southgate as a manager remains relevant, especially in light of Manchester United’s interest in him. I believe we received the award because people appreciate the caliber of guests we bring on the show, and we are committed to continuously improving and securing top-notch guests. We put a significant amount of effort into it and we take pride in the show. Carragher added that there are a few people who are not present tonight. Dave Jones had a different engagement, while Gary Neville chose not to attend since he was not one of the nominees for Pundit of the Year.
