GARY NEVILLE: On Monday night, Sir Alex Ferguson would have celebrated with his title-winning team and enjoyed the evening. But on Tuesday night, he'd have been watching Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in Europe and he will have thought: 'Right, that's where we're going.'

When I was playing, I was a pain in the backside to referees. I was one of the narkiest, most unreasonable players imaginable. I was continually on to them throughout the match, always appealing for every single decision and always trying to affect them.
