You’d think after a week of being criticised from pillar to post that Leicester City players would just get their heads down after a wonderful win over Liverpool, well not Danny Simpson.
Yesterday Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher visited the Everton training ground to interview our Hotshot Jackpot king Romelu Lukaku as part of his work for Sky Sports.

But, all Twitter wanted to know was why the former Reds defender was filming the piece in an Everton training kit?
To his credit Carragher explained himself:
Big Dunc & Lukaku were waiting at the entrance with the kit, wasn’t easy to say no! https://t.co/ergrTwfwG8

To be fair we wouldn’t have said ‘no’ to Big Duncan Ferguson either… Anyway, back to the story.
Carragher didn’t spare the feelings of either Leicester or Liverpool players on Monday Night Football after the Foxes’ 3-1 victory when he said: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where two teams should come off and hang their heads in shame.”
The dig at Liverpool was in relation to their utterly disappointing performance, while his pop at Leicester came at the players’ apparent involvement in the sacking of Premier League title-winning boss Claudio Ranieri and subsequent excellent performance thereafter.
Enter Leicester right back Danny Simpson, who thought it was a good idea to question Carragher’s connection to Liverpool because he was wearing the Everton kit for the shoot and compared it to Gary Neville’s undying love for Manchester United.
Just gonna put it out there. No offence but I don’t think I would ever see @GNev2 training in a Man City Training shirt pic.twitter.com/fgjOOLqKdl
