Haven't they had a huge bunch of arab cash dumped in too? Or maybe it was somebody else in div2, or whatever they call it these days.

No they are owned by one of the younger members of Lewis-Dreyfus family

So the BBC finally gives Gary Lineker the elbow and his Swansong was yesterday

Haven’t watched Match of the Day in years, but ultimately whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion (no matter how vapid, hypocritical and ill informed) when you are paid mega bucks by the national broadcaster which is meant at least to have the appearance of impartiality…..his social media activity wasn’t really conducive to that end.

There’s a lot of moist obituaries from the cluster of liberal progressives (who are quite illiberal and regressive in reality) about what a thoroughly decent chap Lineker is. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but he is a nitwit (he’s far from alone in that though).

I quite like him. I saw some documentary years ago in which he said that when he was a player he was thinking about what would come next and when he was giving interviews after games he would take an interest in what the presenter was doing and the more technical aspects of making TV. He's that rare beast, an intelligent footballer. When he went abroad he actually learned the lingo, for example. You may disagree with his views, and I agree that as a BBC employee he should have kept some of those to himself. But I don't have a particular issue with him.

It’s not even a question of disagreement, to constantly retweet the stuff he does…he either has to be stupid or malign and pretending to be stupid.

You can be pro Palestinian without amplifying things that compare Zionists (let’s be fair Jews, given the vast majority of the diaspora is Zionist) to rats or stuff with links to extremists. And yet he has the gall to chide other people for making comments redolent of 1930s Germany.

So either he’s not very bright at all or he’s an arsehole deliberately baiting others.

Course you do. He's an epic cunt.

Fabregas has reportedly agreed to take over from Simone Inzaghi at Inter

[Marc Overmars]

Massive job for him that. Good luck to him though, best young player I’ve ever seen play for us.

Wenger not signing him in 2014 when he left Barca was a huge mistake.
