Saturday's Premier League football wasn't up to much, but Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Micah Richards had viewers in stitches during Sky Sports coverage.
There's never a dull moment when this punditry trio are on duty and Saturday was no different despite there being no moments of magic or dreadful mistake to talk about during a dismal goalless draw in the Manchester derby.
It started off with a disagreement between Richards and Keane about whether footballers are allowed to even smile when they win, and no surprises who thought no.

Keane later expressed his anger at how both sets of players were acting like pals after the spoils were shared in one of the worst derbies in recent times.
🤬 Roy Keane is FUMING!

There was serious talk about the future of Paul Pogba that also descended into Neville cracking a joke at Keane's expense.
🗣"Paul Pogba left Manchester United before and they survived and if he leaves again they will survive, trust me" 👋

The trio put the joking to one side as they discussed the standard of the game and Neville also expressed concern about how Manchester United haven't equipped any manager in recent years with the means to win the title.
"If Jose Mourinho was the manager of either of those two teams we'd be killing them now. That was really poor, we shouldn't accept that." 👎@GNev2 was disappointed at the lack of ambition shown from both clubs during a cagey Manchester derby at Old Trafford. 💬 pic.twitter.com/UlTtTS3fE6

But then it all ended in hilarity with this classic exchange between Keane and Neville - as well as Richards' infectious laugh - that will live long in the memory.
"I was a stalwart at right back I'll have you know!" 😤

"You were the only right back at the club, we were stuck with you!" 🤣

Even when the cameras stopped rolling, Richards couldn't help himself as Keane tried to leave the premises without a hug...
Dont think Roy moved this quickly during his playing career!!! Couldn’t wait to get away from me after the show today. No festive spirit. 🤷🏿♂️ pic.twitter.com/3fLqQzGkCE
