ROY KEANE gave a hilariously blunt answer when asked about his predictions for the Premier League title run-in.
The legendary Manchester United midfielder was in the studio with the Sky Sports team to react to Manchester City‘s massive win over Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
But he was having none of it when David Jones went around the team of pundits asking whether they felt Mikel Arteta‘s men could hold off City for the final five games.
Jones first asked Micah Richards what colour he felt the Premier League trophy ribbons would be come the end of the campaign.
The former England international stuck with his former club, writing: “I’m not deviating, you asked me in November and it’s the same.
“Man City won today, [the ribbons are] going to be blue. I said that if they won today, this is the game that they won the league.”
Even ex-Arsenal star Patrick Vieira felt that the match represented a turning point for the Gunners, replying: “Listen, there’s still 15 points on the table, but if I have to answer the question I will say it – it will have to be blue today.
And United legend Gary Neville concurred: “Yeah, for the first time this season I am probably going to say they’ll be blue.”
But Keane was less inclined to give a straight answer when Jones wheeled the question round to him.
He fired back a blunt three-word reply, slowly answering: “I don’t care.”

Jones eventually coaxed a more reasoned answer out of him, with Keane explaining: “I said Arsenal at the start of the season and I’m going to stick with Arsenal, of course I am.
“No doubt the belief is not as strong as it was before the game, City have the momentum and Pep…
“But I’m going to have to stick with Arsenal because I called them at the start of the season.”
Arsenal entered the match six points ahead of their title rivals, but with a game in hand, a win would put Pep Guardiola and Co in striking distance of the league leaders.
Things got off to a dream start for the hosts when midfield maverick Rayan Cherki ghosted into the box and finished into the bottom far corner.
But just 34 seconds later Kai Havertz ran down a panicked Gianluigi Donnarumma and deflected his hurried clearance straight into the net for the equaliser.
In the end it was City hitman Erling Haaland who would strike the decisive blow, firing low past David Raya in the 65th minute.
