He was rooting for them all season…
The mood was buoyant in the away end at the Amex Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as Manchester City fans celebrated a 4-1 win over Brighton, becoming the first team to retain the Premier League title since their local rivals Manchester United did so in 2009 in the process.
But as always, a few morons lowered the tone with some needlessly aggressive behaviour.
Footage circulating on social media first posted on Snapchat by ‘Ginger Coets’ shows a small group of City fans throwing beer at former United player and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville as he exited the premises.
Just a warning: the caption on this Snapchat video features the C-bomb.

It appears there was only one City fan who made any sort of aggressive gesture towards Neville, while others seemed to enjoy watching, but a large number appeared to disapprove and actually tried to protect him from the onslaught of lager.
If you ever needed a reminder that while most football fans are good, a few idiots can spoil the party, this is it.
