Gary Neville could be in trouble with the Football Association after he reacted to Carlos Tevez's first goal in the Carling Cup semi-final by raising his middle finger towards the Manchester City striker.

The FA wrote to Neville to warn him about his provocative celebration after Michael Owen had scored the winner when the two sides met at Old Trafford in September, and the governing body will look at the photographs from tonight to determine whether they need to take action against the unused substitute.

Tevez went on to celebrate his second goal by running to the touchline and cupping his ears in front of the two dugouts, but Sir Alex Ferguson chose not to question his former player's behaviour.

"That's just the way it happens," the United manager said of Tevez's match-winning contribution. "It can be like that. It can bite you, football. We've had a few players leave the club and score against us. It's not an issue. I'm happy with the players we have."

The victory has left Manchester City as "51% favourites" to reach the final, according to their manager, Roberto Mancini, but Ferguson was not too disconsolate as he reflected on his team's performance.

"I thought we played well. We *dominated the match. There were a mad couple of minutes before the equalising goal and we lost composure for 15 minutes but, after that, we were OK. It will be a Man United crowd at Old Trafford and, with the occasion and what is at stake, we will be OK. The most important thing is that we perform like we did today."

Ferguson had described Tevez earlier this season as not being worth his £25.5m fee but the Argentina international is the most prolific player in English football on current form, with 13 goals in his last 11 games.

"I don't know if what was said made a difference for Carlos," Mancini said. "I just hope that he plays as well in the *second game because it will be very difficult at Old Trafford. I am just happy that he plays for us."

Mancini acknowledged that United had "three or four good chances" to equalise and there was an element of good fortune attached to the penalty that was given against Rafael da Silva for *pulling Craig Bellamy's arm. The first contact was outside the penalty area and Ferguson said: "It's there for everyone to see."

Hahaha Neville is SUCH a ****ing loser!!!

The funny thing is that he still considers himself to be relevant. Nobody gives a **** about you cuntface. What a loser, acts like a 12 year old

[Shaggy]

Yep. He's such a ****ing try-hard cunt. Everything he says and does is geared towards endearing himself further to the Manc supporters, it's cringeworthy. Yet they all lap it up. Absolutely lap it up.

Man U looked shocking at defending set pieces, especially for the 2nd goal.

Amazingly nobody mentioned how zonal marking would have prevented the 2 CB's ending up in the left back position!
