ROY KEANE gave Mark Pougatch a death stare covering 18 years of pain as the ITV presenter used a new Vieira moment to revive a more famous one.

After Fabio Vieira completed Arsenal's shootout victory over Manchester City, Pougatch couldn't resist a subtle reference to namesake Patrick sinking Keane's Man Utd the very same way in the 2005 FA Cup final.

The broadcaster signed off from the Community Shield at Wembley with: “Vieira wins it from the spot against a Manchester team, we’ve heard that before!

"What’s it going to mean? We’ll find out, goodbye.”

Keane glared across the studio with an expression as deadly as Arsenal's penalties as they beat City 4-1 in the shootout after a 1-1 draw.

"That look from Keane to Pougatch at the end was priceless," said one fan.

Another observed: "Roy Keane is fuming everytime Mark Pougatch references that 2005 FA Cup final shootout."

But other viewers believe the former hardman's icy glaze is just his normal behaviour.

One claimed: "Genuinely how Roy Keane usually is. Probably tried to smile here."

And another reckons it could be the start of some fiery fun for ITV.

He posted: "Good bants. Working with Pougatch must be a breath of fresh air from working with Richards, Souness and Karen Carney."

One fan even suggested the ex-midfielder was merely keeping to character for the audience.

He argued: "Just Keane living up to his image which keeps him in work!!"

The ex-Republic of Ireland star netted his 2005 shootout kick for United.

But Paul Scholes' miss enabled Keane's biggest rival Patrick Vieira to clinch a 5-4 triumph on penalties for the Gunners after a 0-0 draw.
