Gary Neville Diaries The Gary Neville Diaries Thursday March 4 2004 It's been a difficult week for the Nevilles. Here's his diary of the week -including a terrible accident with a non-permanent marker... Friday March 5 2004 Put the cones out for Sir today and he glanced at me. Made me feel special. He never looks at Phil like that. Told Mum and she said I have to share but that's not fair because I got to the cones first. Moustache looks a bit thicker today. Saturday March 6 2004 Won today but I didn't play Watched MUTV all night to see whether Sir said he missed me. Am sure they edited it out. Hung out with Rio until he told me to 'go away innit'. Will tell Sir tomorrow. Deffo not a penalty today - gave that girl Boa Morte a nasty stare after the game to let him know that I know. Man in wheelchair laughed at my moustache.Cried myself to sleep. Sunday March 7 2004 Took Sir an apple. But Weasley gave him a bottle of red wine so he'll probably play on Tuesday. Creep. Went to Mum's for dinner but she tried to make me eat sprouts and then laughed when I banged my fists on the kitchen lino. She won't laugh again. Read Sir's book in bed. Coloured in moustache with marker. Looks manly. Monday March 8 2004 Rained at training. Marker wasn't permanent. Tuesday (early) March 9 2004 Playing tonight so was definitely worth washing bibs for Sir. Looked at papers and I was in them again! Will put in scrapbook. So glad I said Porto don't act like men. Am really getting good at this mind games business. Photo on back of The Sun made my moustache look thin but Mumsays it's just the ink. She says I look handsome. Tuesday (late) March 9 2004 Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. It was a goal and we should have won and someone pushed me and someone tried to hurt Ronaldo and the girlsdived on the floor and the referee blew the whistle before we could score and they celebrated in front of OUR fans and that made me so angry but I had to go and tell the TV that they deserved it (they didn't and I had myfingers crossed. Ha!). It's just not fair because we're the best team in the whole wide world. Have given Philip a Chinese burn for that free-kick and told Sir to sell him. Wednesday March 10 2004 Sir not happy today. He didn't even cheer up when I gave him my drawing. Wonder if he'll put it on his fridge with the others? Saw a small boy laughing at me so held him down until he said that Manchester United were the best team in the whole wide world. Feel better now. Bought some Re-Gane and put on top lip. Can't wait until the morning to see my bushy, manly 'tache. Thursday March 11 2004 Phoned David to ask him to ask Elton about hair transplants. He said he was 'too busy preparing for the quarter-finals of the ChampionsLeague'. Am going to tell Sir and then I'm going to fly to Spain and then hold him down until he says that Manchester United are the best team in the whole wide world. And I'm going to take back the Man United sovereign ring I sent him for Christmas. Update: Mum says I can't go to Spain.
