ROY KEANE has taken his spat with James Maddison to new heights.
And after the pundit’s latest mischievous jibe, Tottenham midfielder Maddison was told by Gary Neville: “James, you can’t f***ing win!”

The banter battle began when Keane accused the England ace of never stepping up to the place.
Keane even claimed: “He got relegated with Leicester and he’ll get relegated with Spurs.”
Maddison responded by firing an early winner against Manchester United on his return from injury a week ago.
The 28-year-old then followed up his trademark dart-throwing celebration with a “shush-ing” gesture to the camera.
Many reckoned that was aimed squarely at Keane.
And on The Overlap, Neville asked his former Red Devils team-mate about Maddison’s antics.
Keane at first appeared supportive – before delivering a sting in the tail.
He said of Maddison putting his finger to his lips: “Good on him, yeah. Absolutely no problem.

However, Keane then got into his stride as he added: “I still go to what I said. I don’t think he does enough of that (influencing games).
“But when he scores I was at home with my cup of tea and I went, ‘Good on you’.
“No problem. If people have a go at you you answer them back.”
But then came Keane’s first cheeky dig: “I was hoping he was going to do it the other day – but he was sub against Ipswich.”

Neville and fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher roared with laughter at that.
And Arsenal icon Ian Wright chipped in with: ” Do your stuff, James – because you can’t f***ing win!”
In fact Maddison came on at Portman Road last Saturday to tee up Tottenham’s third goal in a 4-1 victory.
And Keane bowed out on a soft note as he said: “He got an assist against Ipswich to be fair.”
Fans loved the exchange, calling it all “great banter”
another posted: Classic Roy, you cannot have the last laugh against him!
And a third wrote: “Roy Keane is a legend on and off the pitch!”
