Micah Richards has been branded a 'disgrace' by his CBS Sports co-hosts after his food order was shown live on air.
The Champions League returned on Tuesday night for the first legs of the eight play-off matches to determine which teams will make it to the round of 16 next month.
Of course, with a new set of Champions League fixtures comes more coverage from the fan-favourite CBS Sports panel of Kate Scott, Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and Richards.
But ahead of the kick off for Wednesday's fixtures, Richards' takeaway dinner order was revealed, and his co-hosts were not happy.

As part of their role on CBS Sports, the four pundits are bought whatever they would like for dinner, and on Wednesday night Richards clearly made the most of it.
Once the show started, Scott exposed her friend and fellow host as she revealed that Richards had spent a crazy £73.75 on a Chinese takeaway order, certainly living up to the name Big Meeks.
The former Manchester City star ordered lemon chicken, salt and pepper chips, sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry, special fried rice, crispy spare ribs with spicy salt, chilli oil and seven deep fried chicken wings.
And it's safe to say that fellow host Carragher wasn't happy with the order, as he pointed out who specific detail.
Reacting to a screenshot of the order, the Liverpool legend said: "You've ordered that much stuff and you think how hard they have to work to get this all ready and bring it to us, you haven't even given them a tip.
"This is a disgrace, you're a guy who pays £300 for a haircut and you won't give someone a tip? When the guys gets here will you not just slot him a few quid."
Richards replied by re-assuring Carragher and the rest of the panel that he would make sure to give the delivery driver a tip once they arrived.
Scott then asked Richards to explain why his order was so big, he replied: "This is just a day in the life, bulk season is coming. Look at the guns, they're popping out. We're training five times a week."
