Ever since Gary Neville was relieved of his duties as Valencia manager, we’ve been waiting for just one thing.
That’s right, we’ve wanted more than anything else for the former Manchester United captain to be reunited with that giant iPad Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football.
So it’s safe to say Carragher knew exactly what he was doing when he sent out this tweet on Monday afternoon.
MNF is back tonight! A man who had a spell in Spain & came back earlier than expected will join us tonight!!

The internet was abuzz with hope – would the wait finally be over? And just in time for a crucial game in the title race, with Tottenham chasing a vital three points against Stoke City?

And then, the big reveal. It hit us in the pit of our stomachs, just like that time we sprinted across town for McDonald’s breakfast, only to arrive at 10:31.
Cesc Fabregas will be joining Jamie in the studio tonight, so get your questions in to the guys! Use #MNF
