    Came across this whilst googling and thought i would share as it made me chuckle a little bit!

    http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opi...moustache-Chuckle-Brothers-article689045.html

    So farewell then, Red Nev . But what did we learn from his departure and the rest of Wednesday's night's football, asks Steve Anglesey?

    1) Gary Neville retiring is shattering news for one of his team-mates. I mean, who in the entire universe is going to be mad enough to kiss Paul Scholes now?

    2) Not saying Neville is hated at Anfield, but that 2-0 win against Stoke was only Liverpool's second-best result of the evening.

    3) Gary's got big plans on retirement. First is to finally grow a proper moustache.

    4) Then he'll concentrate on building his Teletubbies-style house, also populated by hilarious comedy characters La-La, Noo-Noo and Bebe.

    5) Gary's retirement with immediate effect has come as a surprise to anyone who's seen him play recently and thought he'd given up two years ago.

    6) Things got so bad that when he turned up at Old Trafford with a holdall a few weeks back, one of the security guards asked: "What have you got in there?" When Gary jokingly replied: ''A gun and some hand grenades'', the guard said: "Thank Christ. I thought you'd brought your boots".

    7) But there's talk of a coaching role at United for Gary and we can't wait for him to take one-on-one passing practices, accompanied by his popular catchphrase: "To me, to you, to me, to you".

    8) Still, at least at the end of his career, Gary will be able to look in the mirror and feel good about himself. On second thoughts, bad idea...

    9) Rumours are that Neville could become a Sky Sports pundit. Which would be a masterstroke if Rupert Murdoch's aim is for Liverpool fans to boycott ALL of his products.

    10) But Rupert is smarter than that. Just look what's on the other side when he launches expensive new channel Sky Atlantic with Boardwalk Empire - Wigan v West Brom followed by Fulham v Newcastle. Evil genius!

    All good, why is he on Sky it really spoils my afternoon.

    I suppose the mancs have had to put up with Lawro, Hansen and Redknapp for years though.

    I liked the headline in today's I

    "Awkward and a bad suit - but Neville makes a promising debut" However, the article does go on to say, "Neville looked like he was sweating under the lights, his hair was unkempt, his goatee and his suit ill-fitting. He didn't know what to do with his hands."

    I did find his awkwardness on Monday Night Football watchable in a car crash kind of way.

    I did have to re-wind my Sky+ to confirm he did refer to part of the match being "pedantic".
