I can't tell you how much I detest the cunt.
Small room. Me, Lineker, Baseball bat.

Hitler was a good painter and apparently quite a nice guy to his mates.
I didn't even like him when he played for us! You'd think that someone who scored a brace against the goons in an FA Cup semi final would have our undying devotion, but he's a self-centered bellend of the highest degree, IMO.
Think he's God's gift, and he isn't!

Apart from being a jug eared, crisp eater, what has he done or said specifically? Or is it mainly the Crisps and the ears that we don't like?
He belittles Spurs at every possible opportunity. He hates us and we reciprocate. Absolute grade A cunt. Loathsome individual.
He has become more and more insufferable in recent years.
At some point he seemed to deem himself worthy of commenting on political and social matters more than football as if anybody cares to listen to him on those subjects.
It's almost enitrely virtue signalling nonsense as well.
I realise that I’m instantly hypocritical in posting here, as my main feeling around this whole episode is that it’s incredibly tedious and almost everyone has come out of it looking bad.
It’s also been another episode where, publicly and in the media, commentators and celebs are flocking to one pure and idealistic side or the other whereas the reality of the situation is not quite so simple.
From chatting with folk at work, most people seem to feel…
1. Gary Lineker is a bore and long overdue retirement from our TV screens.
2. Everyone should be allowed to have and air personal views via their personal channels: growing participation in debate around politics and society is healthy. It’s not North Korea.
3. Lineker was nevertheless being clumsy, stupid or deliberately provocative in using the specific 1930s reference. Personally, I think it’s a bit of all three.
4. The BBC and some right leaning media, politicians and commentators have managed to make Lineker look like a martyr - without him actually coming to any harm.
5. The celeb massive and some left leaning media, politicians and commentators have shown themselves to be tragically simplistic in jumping to defend the integrity of a man of very questionable character whilst also trying to justify the 1930s reference.
6. Most - but clearly not all - want a decent country that supports controlled immigration including genuine asylum seekers. We have of course always been a diverse, immigrant nation.
7. Most folk don’t want a completely uncontrolled immigration system that favours e.g. young male economic migrants, supports the human trafficker gangs, and stretches already scarce public resources - police, immigration, health, security, education - well beyond breaking point.
Wanting to see Lineker bugger off our screens and also some degree of control on our immigration system does not make you a fascist. Wanting to be a decent and responsible country that plays its part in the greater good of those in genuine need does not make you some kind of commie bastard.
But the media and politicians keep trying to put everyone into simplistic one-dimensional boxes and to argue and belittle and blame each other whilst they sit back and play their power games.
As the song goes, “fuck ‘em all!”

….. they will be taking the fucking knee next . 
I almost hate Lineker more than Sol Campbell.
Loathsome individual.

This about sums everything up I guess:

This thread has turned into TFCs 'I am Spartacus' moment.
I am glad he has gone. Not because of his Tweet but because the bloke is a cunt.
Good riddance.

The hypocrisy from right wing, free speech, anti cancel culture people is staggering. They should be up in arms but they’re either silent or busy saying how much they hate Linekar. Whether you like him o not is irrelevant to whether his private speech should be attacked like this.
