I liked Lineker.. Until I red all of this :dembelewtf:
Getting like that Gooner cunt Piers Morgan in the smug arrogant stakes
Lineker is a grade A hypocrite despite his ''right on"political tweets.
I was put off Lineker when I watched him at WHL. He was Captain of England and they had a match midweek. There was no way he was going to get injured and miss the England match and that was obvious by the way he jumped out of the way when tackles came in. If he could not put Spurs first then he lost my support.
I must miss all of the stuff that you guys see on TV as I think the guy does all right.
I can only base my feelings on the one experience that I have of meeting him for real which was queuing to get into Wembley for an FA cup final that I went to, on a corporate ticket. I spoke to him for about 10-15 minutes and he was perfectly amenable and chatty, and we spoke about his boys (who were with him) as one of them had been really ill. Met him again at half time, and chatted with his lads - and although I didn't talk to him for as long he was just as pleasant and approachable.
He came across as a really nice guy. Unlike a lot of footballers he can actually string a sentence together (without filling it with cliches and "yer knows") and talk about other matters apart from football.

All fair points. As I said, I hope you're right. My prediction, such as it is, was based on squad depth against the others, and the fact that our victimised friends from the north are still playing within themselves. But good luck!
Lineker was my childhood hero, following Italia '90 and ' 91 vs. Woolwich. Surprised at all the criticism he gets to be honest. His Leicester shtick is annoying but I still quite like him on BBC England duty. I wasn't old enough to notice any lack of commitment to Spurs but I can understand that would wind people up.
They went and did the Uno thing when Dele scored lol.
I love that our lads seem to genuinely enjoy playing and training together. Not just a job for these guys
Dawson. Absolute gent. Genuinely loves us.
Huddlestone is a total tosspot though. If he wasn’t a massive fat cunt I would have called him out.
Honestly, it was close. But a bloke with a bigger beer belly than me isn’t to be trifled with. Fat fucker.
He is a grade A weapon mate. Absolute knobber.
I went to the dinner dance the year Erik the Viking won the supporters player of the year. After dinner we had a chance to meet the players and have a photo taken with them. The majority of the players were fantastic, while having my picture taken with Lineker I asked him if he enjoyed evenings like tonight? He said no he disliked them! He came across as a smarmy Kant to be honest.
out of curiousity - have you met him and spent any time talking to him - or is it just based on hearsay and what you see on TV?
He’s a bell end. Don’t need to play with one to know what one looks like.
I wouldn’t piss on the jug eared cunt if he was on fire.
thanks, that answers my question
