Lineker leaving MOTD

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I also don’t really know how people can get worked up by Chapman being a United fan. I must have watched/listened to him for years before I even realised, he goes to great lengths to not mention who he supports, or provide opinion (makes a big deal of being a presenter/host not a pundit). He is a neutral as any football fan can be and I think the only reason I found out was because the pundits and guests on his various shows like to take the piss when United are shit.

I didn’t even know he was a united fan.

I don’t watch MOTD much these days but whenever I’ve seen him he’s come across as professional, articulate and decent.

Chapman declined the full time job since he's a single parent to his 2 kids after his wife's death a few years back. He doesn't want to spend every single Saturday away from his children.

I didn’t know that how sad :(

I was hoping he would do it.

I like watching MOTD Sunday AM. But Lineker, Shearer and Richards really pissed me off during the EUROs. I thought they were unprofessional and a right bunch of twats.

Happy Lineker going and hope he takes Shearer and Richards with him.

Some people getting their y fronts in a twist here about women presenters just showing their ignorance and age. A side of football fandom which is very fucking irritating.

Do you moan about Hazel or Claire Balding or Gaby or Sue Baker at Wimbledon? I want professional presenters and commentators not incessant ex footballers looking to relieve boredom in retirement and doing a shite job.

People getting wound up by this is fucking pathetic.

Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan are experienced professional sports presenters who are more than qualified for the job and deserve it on merit. Nothing to do with the fact they are women.

It's not like they've gone out of their way to hire a disabled ethnic minority trans person who no knowledge of football just to tick a box.

FFS.

Think you should chill sometimes.

Others are probably abit miffed because Sly, TNT and the BBC are top heavy with rags and dippers.
It's obvious it doesn't bother you, but just because it doesn't that doesn't mean others aren't sick of it.

Not sure any of the presenters show their bias, only pundits.

Daughter of Kenneth was last week on Sly when highlighting us dropping more points at Palace but failing to mention that the rags had at home to Forest. She just stated that their game was "our saturday evening game".
Maybe different paymasters will have her even more professional then, who knows

The rags haven’t been relevant in a decade.

I do feel people take any perceived sleight of their club too personally these days.

We’re the butt of jokes at the moment as were bottom of the form table, which hasn’t happened in decades. It doesn’t mean the world is against us though!

Maybe this is morphing into "i'm a leftie & i'm a righty" kind of conversation.
So with that i bid you goodnight my friend

Absolutely killed SPOTY with the Alex girl tonight. It lacked any class and the award at the end to the winner was a shocker. They could not even lift the winner’s award.

Showed how much glass Gary had in presenting the show and how poor the show was without him last night.

I didn’t watch it, not because of who presented it but because it’s been shit for years and years.

BBC know this because it was shoved on a Tues evening when years ago it would be on a Saturday eve.

I don’t think Alex Scott (assume that who you refer too) is a good presenter at all, and needs binning, but thats because she is not good at it, NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A FUCKING WOMAN
