I note I’ve been blocked by Gary Lineker, so let’s just be crystal clear on one thing:
Gary Lineker has profiteered from human misery more than nearly every single one of us on this app
He received millions from Qatar for his World Cup coverage
Qatar is a country that supports the rapist, antisemitic terror organisation Hamas
It is a country where being gay is illegal
It is a country where women face discrimination in law
It is a country with pitiful workers rights
It is a country where freedom of expression is persecuted and where press freedoms are severely restricted
But in exchange for money Gary Lineker was happy to ignore this - help to launder these abuses - and park the virtues he likes to signpost to his friends in The Guardian
So please be mindful that Gary Lineker is a vanity moralist
A rich poseur
A hypocrite and a fraud, one might say
@kattia_olsen1 @dcostar83 And Sanchez cost zero in transfer fees (swap with HM). United could 'afford' to pay him stupid money because of that. Agree that the sell-on issue is a problem due to wages, but there's always the option of letting him go for nothing after his contract expires - ala Pogba.
@Witterbird84 My favourite ever player. People laugh when I say that, but he was a beast - with incredible technique, and hard as nails. You weren't getting him off the ball.
@AP_dreamchase@erev25@LouStagner Turned pro off 4, but then was deemed to be off plus one in the last six months (according to him on his podcast).
Scratch golfers don't always shoot par, though.
I get what you mean about 'Break 75' - not the best example of his abilities, I agree.
