From BBC pranks to Manchester United rants and everything in between, we won’t forget these pundit moments from this season.

Whether you love Roy Keane's dry humour, Micah Richards' giggly analysis or Gary Neville's rants, there's a Premier League pundit for everyone. Watching the football from home wouldn't be the same without the familiar faces appearing on screens to give their thoughts on the action, often in comical style.

This season we've seen Neville fume more than ever before, Cristiano Ronaldo hilariously blank Jamie Carragher and, of course, one prankster get the better of the BBC FA Cup team with an X-rated prank.

Away from the screen, talkSport has become the place for long-winded pundit rants putting the world to rights and the home of Gabriel Agbonlahor's hatred for Newcastle United.

As the Premier League season draws to a close, 3 Added Minutes casts an eye back over some of the most unforgettable pundit moments from this season. Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Gordon and Marc Cucrella were three stars on the end of criticism while Sir Alex Ferguson had social media chuckling at the Cheltenham Festival.

Here's 20 of football punditry's best moments from the season.

Alex Crook didn’t think much of Antonio Conte when speaking on talkSPORT and blamed him for Spurs misfortunes. He said: “He’s the archetypal chequebook manager. He’s not someone who improves players, he wants to buy his way to success. If you look at that Tottenham squad, there are more players that have gone backwards rather than forwards.”

A calm Gary Neville admitted he didn’t want to ‘get too wound up’ when Manchester United lost to Liverpool. However, it didn’t take long for his temperature to rise as he said: "There were things I saw in that second half that were a disgrace. I’ll start with Bruno Fernandes. I’ve had enough of him throwing his arms around, not running back, he whinges at everybody. I think Erik ten Hag will deal with him very strongly.”

Roy Keane took issue with Manchester United players laughing and joking with opposition staff at half time after losing 7-0 to Liverpool. He said: "I don’t like to see all that rubbish. That circus can creep back into Manchester United and the manager has to keep an eye on that.”

It’s impossible not to include THAT prank on the BBC coverage of the FA Cup when a phone taped to the set kept ringing with some rather X-rated noises. “I don’t know who’s making that noise,” a confused Gary Lineker said.
