Gary Lineker Mr Smarmy

You're not alone.

Is it cause e is woke??? Init?

I don't know why you felt the need to start a whole thread on this. If I didn't like someone, I wouldn't be watching interviews with them or otherwise listening to them. It comes across as more than a bit hysterical, honestly.

I like Lineker. He's a class act though I couldn't care less about football.

…seems harmless. Wouldn’t say I’m a fan though.

What i always found weird with him…. 443 senior club appearances in England and Spain and for such a talented footballer and prolific goal scorer he never won a single league trophy, just a couple of cups over all those years.

Alex Ferguson tried to sign him when he left Barcelona, I think an agreement was in place but he changed his mind and went to Spurs…..scored a shîtload more goals alright , but only won one FA cup in his 3 seasons there…

Considering his huge talent as a footballer, you’d have to say he massively underachieved as a player and as a presenter…. He’s no Des Lynam…. but sort of inoffensive / decent at his job, occasionally smarmy but hey…
Still he’s making a shïtload of cash, in his early 60’s now and a multimillionaire from years in front of the camera, BBC, BT Sport, Al Jazeera Sport, NBC… and made a shîtload promoting Walkers crisps.

But what's wrong with that, Team study videos of their opponents to learn these things, you you think that is also wrong?

An unpleasant man full of his own self-importance. Still a better human being than James Corden.

That's absolutely marvelous. Some complete gems in there. Thanks.

Worse than Hitler

Interesting that Linker is self styled mr compassionate and loved by wokesters everywhere yet he's quite happy to get paid by the Qatari state broadcaster (while afterwards looking down his nose at Qatar as a country when he was there for the BBC) and platform Alistair Campbell (a man who falsified evidence to help start a war) .

Like all celebrities who lecture everyone else Lineker is a complete an utter hypocrite.

Used to happen a fair bit back in the day that top class players would win very little.The great players were more spread out across all the team across europe, you didn't get all the top players solely playing for the top 3 or 4 in every league.

It's why players like Thomas Hassler, Pierre Littbarski and Youri Djorkaeff all world class players who won world cups won feck all in their careers at club level and none of those 3 ever won a league title.
