Roy Keane & Ian Wright in heated bust-up as co-star forced to play peacemaker

ROY KEANE warned Ian Wright not to "get all excited" as the pair were involved in a bust-up.

The incident occurred on the Stick to Football podcast as the panel discussed Crystal Palace's change of fortunes under new manager Oliver Glasner.

Wright began by pointing out the benefits that can come by appointing a new boss, suggesting Manchester United ought to consider that option after being thumped 4-0 by Palace.

But Keane quickly interrupted and questioned Wright's stance, pointing out Palace have struggled over the course of the season.

Wright said: "Like I just mentioned Glaser, 13 games, look at Palace how they've changed.

"They've now found a manager, who has won stuff as well, and look at the Palace team. How can it take so long, how are you still saying about Ten Hag [about Man Utd sticking with him]."

Keane took exception and cut in by saying: "Are you comparing Crystal Palace to Man Utd? Where are Palace in the league? Palace are on a good little run at home.

"So Palace have got all the answers then? Do you know why they're doing well, Palace? Because two of their best players are playing. They've got two very good players playing.

"They're 14th in the league so don't get all excited about Palace."

Wright hit back saying: "It's got nothing to do about getting excited about Crystal Palace.

"What I am excited about Palace is that their manager is changing something and we can see it. That's what we want from a manager."

"Praise the lord," quipped Keane.

Gary Neville backed up Keane's point about Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze returning from injury, but the pair were not finished arguing.

Wright continued: "Even without them they still did not play the brand of football Glasner is playing.

"We're talking about Adam Wharton and [Will] Hughes now playing great football, passing it through. They've got a structure of play."

Again Keane interjected asking where Palace are in the table, with Wright responding: "I'm not bothered where they are!"

Keane fired back: "You're not bothered where they are! It's pretty important where you are in the league table."

Wright then accused his colleague of being facetious and reinforced his point about Glasner before Jill Scott stepped in to defuse the situation.

She said: "Now now, let's shake hands and make up."
