PUNDIT BALLON D'OR! Vote your favourite name as Neville and Carragher make final eight in search of best football pundit

Thirty has become eight. The Pundit Ballon d'Or has reached the quarter-final stage and some big voices have had their final say.

There were some maulings in the round of 16, but the Tigers were nowhere to be seen. Roy Keane tore Glenn Hoddle apart, receiving over 90 per cent of the votes in their match-up.

Ian Wright disposed of Michael Owen with ease - like scoring past 13-year-olds - as he picked up 87 per cent of the votes there. However, some clashes were much tighter. The Battle of the Garys went down to the wire, but it was Neville who licked his fingers clean of crisp-adorer Lineker by just 52 per cent of the votes to 48.

You've now voted and the final eight are locked in. From here, you'll help decide our semi-finalists before the top two mic merchants in the land go head to head for the chance to claim hot-take immortality… Get your quarter-final selections in!

The first great eight bout sees Thierry Henry face No. 1 seed Keane, who is still just doing his job, isn't he? A guaranteed 'Hand of Gaul' flashback waiting to happen.

Micah Richards takes on Alan Shearer in the next match-up. The Rest Is Football loyalties will need to be thrown out of the window, but who will join Lineker in the recycling bin?

Wayne Rooney dried out fun-sponge Danny Murphy in the round of 16 and is matched up with BBC colleague Wright in another Battle of the Beeb for a spot in the semis.

Finally, in a meeting of good pundits but rubbish managers, Ally McCoist takes on Sky Sports darling Neville. But will he have his number like Tony Adams' son?
