MATCH OF THE DAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!!!

I keep reading how the BBC are ‘worried’ that once smug, arrogant tosspot Gary Lineker leaves next summer, ‘that MOTD may not survive!!!’ So let’s think about that just before we get on to the belated departure (should have been kicked out 5 years ago) of the (self-elected) God, Saint, Saviour and Spokesperson for all Bentley-driving Guardian-lefties who shout out about things they’re neither qualified nor educated about.

Is the entire nation of footballing obsessives (Mel excluded, obvs) going to stop watching their beloved game? Just because the smiling tosser wot fills the gaps between games will change? People have been watching MOTD since the Stone Age. There’s been loads of ‘hosts’. And the ‘host’ can add but that’s not his job, not what people have turned on for. They do that for the football. The ‘pundits’ we can all live without. They’re only there so to test the ‘fast forward’ button on your remote. An AI ‘host’ or a robot can say: “now over to Old Trafford where United took on a struggling Arsenal”.

The King of all of Leicester is pretty. Has a nice smile. Played for Spurs so can’t be ALL bad. Captained England. And, so uncommon in any footballer, he can speak in sentences. Joined up.

And that’s the good bit and yet the worst bit of Gary Lineker. Because at some point in the last 25 years he promoted himself from ‘football geezer’ to ‘statesman’ and ‘spokesman for all people’, without actually passing any exams. He just decided that he would comment on everything. And when he commented on the Government’s immigration policy that it was akin to what the Nazis did, he crossed the line from ‘ill-informed and ignorant’ into ‘offensive and blatantly political’. Because the BBC’s red line is always ‘impartiality’. He was suspended. Alan fucking Shearer went on strike in sympathy and because he lacks his own brain and Gary returned. Smugger than before. He’d beaten the system again.

Lineker tweets about everything. All from his leftist standpoint. ‘The people’s pundit’. A synonym for ‘arsehole’. And millions blindly follow this man who could undoubtedly score goals from up to 6 yards, but knows very little else. Nothing escapes the sharp point on his twitter-feed. No incident too small to raise a comment.

Except the Hamas slaughter of Israelis last year. That went unmentioned. Unimportant. Or unworthy of any criticism. Or of compassion or sympathy. Yet within one month of Israel’s attack on Gaza he tweeted that it was ‘textbook genocide’. As if he’s ever read a textbook, or, obviously, knows what ‘genocide’ means. And he has a ‘bit of a history’ with Israel and Jew-hate.

So as his final few months lead to his departure, I’d just like to say, in all sincerity, FUCK OFF LINEKER YOU ANTI-SEMITIC MORON.

I’m gonna miss him. Yeah. Right.

Happy Tuesday
