The long-simmering tension between Premier League legends Roy Keane and Alan Shearer reportedly erupted into “pure chaos” during a recent live broadcast, leaving Sky Sports producers scrambling and fans divided. The latest flare-up began when Keane, known for his acerbic wit, reignited his decades-old grudge by labeling Shearer “sneaky and nasty” on air, specifically citing the striker’s use of “sneaky elbows” during their playing days.
​The comment clearly touched a nerve with the Newcastle icon. Tensions escalated as the two went head-to-head over Newcastle’s recent form, with Keane reportedly “losing it” after Shearer defended his former club. The exchange became so heated that social media erupted, with a vocal contingent of Newcastle supporters calling for Keane to be banned from St. James’ Park and removed from the punditry rotation.
​While the two have shared a professional respect in the past, this latest “live-wire” incident proves that the wounds from Keane’s infamous 2001 red card at St. James’ Park have never truly healed. For now, Sky Sports is sticking by their man, but the “sneaky” jibes have ensured that every time these two share a studio, it is officially must-watch—and highly volatile—television.
