Salford City co-owners and Man Utd Class of 92 heroes Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane and Nicky Butt looked on gloomily in the crowd of 10,023 at Stockport

Co-owners Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt looked on as Salford blew a 1-0 first-leg lead.

County now face Carlisle at Wembley on May 28 for a place in League One.

And observers online gleefully turned Neville's criticism of the Gunners against him.

That might seem harsh as the Gunners did fade out of the title race, as the ex-England defender predicted.

And there was no suggestion he "over celebrated" Salford's first-leg triumph in the way he claimed Arsenal did some of their victories.

County won Saturday's return leg 2-1 after extra time before winning the shoot-out 3-1.

And one fan posted: "Yess Gary Neville. Salford Bottled it well done Stockport."

Another wrote: "Disappointed for Salford but smiling from ear to ear to hear Gary Neville might be p*ssed. Caved under pressure eh, Gary. Couldn't handle the situation."

A third said: "I think Neville should wonder how he bottled it for Salford."

City are run by Nev and brother Phil, plus Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Singaporean businessman Peter Lim.

And one fan put the boot into the Sky Sports pundit's love for the fourth-tier side.

He wrote: "Salford lost. Oops, Neville will be wearing his old Bury top today lol."
