Please leave him your "lovely" farewell messages.

GARY NEVILLE is set to retire from football at the end of this season.

The Manchester United hero is out of contract in June and there are no plans to offer a new one.

Right-back Neville, 34, has been hit by a series of injuries over the last two years. Fellow United veterans Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs have new one-year deals.

Ex-England star Neville has played 583 first-team games so far in a superb 18-year career at Old Trafford.

THERE IS A LORD

I feel sorta sad about that...it's 1 less to hate, ridicule or target with abuse.
It'll be like playing darts without the board.

it's not just me, right?

Hey Doomie, You may have inadvertantly hit on something there mate.

Check out the similarity of the ears on the dude in Pis2 and those of Giggs next to whatisface.

UNCANNY,...Separated at birth?

Don't cry for scum Gary Neville,
the truth is you passed it to Goater!
All through your childhood you dreamed of scoring,
at Maine Road, Moss Side
But then you fucked up!

Bullshit!

I hope that he will get a year extension. Hes our best player.

I was reading this thinking "Fergies had a heart attack!?" sign him up Mancini!

DONT WORRY we will not have seen the last of him, he is in the final stages of completing his UEFA A Licence coaching badge. We should get him against us at some stage in the future.

gutted, truly.

come on fergie you senile old jakey, give him another contract.

Who will be their choice for right back once he's gone? That lad Rafael doesn't look bad tbh, so I would have preferred for Neville to play for another season. Unless they play Wes Brown as right back?

My farewell message is not printable so as not to offend the sensitivities of my fellow posters on a City site.

Kind of agree in that I loved hating the likes of him, g*ggs, Sc*oles etc the fucking bastards that they are!

Do you think it says something about the Scum's relative demise in terms of their overall quality that the majority of the new players they have are not quite as hateable as the scum of old. Make no mistakes, nobody is saying our feelings towards their club or manager has changed, but these days we have seen Tevez come to us and many have said that if Vidic came we wouldnt be that bothered. Now if this was years ago and it was one of the chuckly brothers Sh*rp or Hughes ( ;-) ) coming, it would have been ruled out straight away. Just interested as to why most of the newer batch of players arent hated quite as much as the older twats.

P.s Listening to talkSPORT and Ronnie Irani is a complete spasmacite

Good he's a disgrace to the game :p

Errrrmmmmm...... the "man" is a complete mong. Doubt he will ever manage in Premier League.

Although I HAVE seen weirder things. Like hated rag legends managing City. That was weird. Or did I just dream that all?

WITH RESPECT MATE CAN YOU STOP BEING AN ARSEHOLE ABOUT IT AND LET IT LIE. HE'S GONE. THEY WAY YOU KEEP BRINGING IT UP I THINK YOU ALMOST MISS HIM.

To be honest, and I've said this before, Gary Neville althou a figure of fun, is one of the few Rags I queitly admire. Local lad, living the dream of playing for HIS club. He hates us with a passion which is exactly how it should be and when we stuff them there is nobody at their club who it hurts more, likewise when they mugged us earlier this season it meant the most to him seeing Owen pop up at the end. It's far more fun seeing him hurt after being thumped by us than the other souless players who just trudge off and look like they don't care.

Mike Doyle was exactly the same for us.

Players like Neville make derby day for me.
