Gary Neville divides opinion after commenting on fan trouble at the Hawthorns

Chelsea are Premier League champions.

In Antonio Conte's first season in England, he's transformed the Blues from mid-table underachievers to table-toppers. Chelsea guaranteed glory with their 1-0 victory over West Brom on Friday night, meaning they've claimed the title with two games to spare. It should have been a beautiful occasion for Chelsea fans, who will undoubtedly welcome the return of the good times with open arms. But ugly scenes marred their celebration party, with a handful of supporters storming the pitch and unsavoury clashes taking place in the stands towards the end of the game. https://twitter.com/RorySmith/status/863131970687172610 https://twitter.com/RorySmith/status/863132801427791872 Sky commentator Gary Neville condemned the fans on the field as "idiots" but, when the camera panned to Chelsea supporters involved in violent scenes among home fans, Neville seemed to suggest that they had every right to be there. Neville appeared to argue that, given the importance of the occasion, Chelsea fans were right to snap up tickets, regardless of the section, as he used the word "understandable" to refer to their celebrations. But the comments of the Manchester United legend left viewers divided. Most claimed that Neville was wrong to condone Chelsea supporters' raucous celebrations among the home fans because it provoked trouble. https://twitter.com/Jevski7/status/863134229043060736 https://twitter.com/jwalker5211/status/863134140522254345 https://twitter.com/Run_Bike_Matt/status/863133814121533440 https://twitter.com/paul_woodford_2/status/863133732496183296 https://twitter.com/jess_dalton/status/863133756709883908 While some admired Neville's honesty in calling it how he saw it. https://twitter.com/Mickehh/status/863132954784141312 https://twitter.com/DanDuck1886/status/863133390719131652 https://twitter.com/Nick_Metcalfe/status/863133826150780929
