Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher hilariously argue about Aleksandar Mitrovic’s red card

You can't say that there was any element of surprise that Aleksandar Mitrovic was red-carded just three weeks into his Newcastle career.

The young Serbian came with a certain reputation that pretty much broke him down to being part Mario Balotelli, part Eric Cantona and part any other lunatic who plays football. Mitrovic was given his marching orders just 16 minutes into the Magpies home game against Arsenal for a studs-up challenge on Francis Coquelin. Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville must have been doing the dirty for the afternoon, watching BT Sport's coverage of the early kick-off as he quickly took to Twitter to agree with Andre Mariner's decision. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/637596272950669313 But his analysis soulmate Jamie Carragher disagreed with Neville.

@GNev2 You wouldn't have been happy going off for that!

Neville, quick as a flash, responded by bringing up an instance back in 2011 that saw Carragher commit a similar challenge on Nani. https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/637598453137297408   https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/637598736621957120 Carragher came back with some refreshing honesty.

It's a man's game! I was a little late & high to be fair. Similar to Bardsley on Hazard which you said was a yellow! https://t.co/riu7Iwjrgw — Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) August 29, 2015

No he was just to quick & skilful for me as I explained to Phil Dowd at the time. My only regret is it wasn't you!! https://t.co/dkrNSie6rt
