Lineker leaving MOTD

[Eccles Blue]

Internet has made shows like this largely irrelevant anyway.

Only to some people.

Just read the BBC article it looks like he asked for more money and The BBC refused

That's not how I read it. He is cutting back and maybe MOTD was a programme too many with his other programmes.

Narrator. He didn’t.

“BBC News understands that Lineker was open to staying on at Match of the Day, but the BBC did not offer him a new contract for the show.”

He also doesn’t commentate for lots of other channels. Fake news all over the place.

He’ll have to make do being co-founder of Goalhanger Podcasts and presenting World Cups and SPOTY. I’m sure he’ll make do.

I hardly watch it. Usually off record. It's gone very stale and needs a revamp. Tribalism rears it's head occasionally (not as much as Sky, obviously) because they are all former players, and the less said about Micah ....
I can't think of anyone refreshing, so I'll go for Frankie Boyle.
IMHO.

Steph 'n Frankie. What a pair! Auntie won't want anything that might cause a bit of bovver, though!

It's still in the BBC's 10 most watched TV programs, it's only at number 10 because the BBC couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

Dancing with bastards and gropers is only just above it for all the press it gets.

Female you say.
Then dipper Sue Smith must be a dark horse.
The BBC and Dippers have such an unbreakable bond, it appears.

Tbh it doesn't matter who presents it to me, as I rarely watch it.

The accompanying commentary is irrelevant and the thoughts of Shearer or Danny Murphy is of no fucking interest whatsoever.

I realise that this is my jaundiced opinion, but I seriously question the impartiality of the editors and expect a bias against City , as this stance usually appeals to the anybody but city clan, together with the rags and dippers , and will this promote a larger viewing public.

Fucking hell, that is a genuinely frightening thought.

I know.
I actually upset myself with that post

Despite being a rag supporter, when I have watched him Mark Chapman comes across well imo , just so long as he doesn't have to have Micah Richards making a tool of himself apart of the deal.
