I think Lineker's ok and imo his tweet wasn't meant with rancour, even if it was a little hackneyed. I think some City fans have become so ground down by the excessive swipes over the last decade that they are unable to respond proportionately to a bit of gentle piss-taking, which is a shame because we used to have skins as thick as any other in football.
For me, Ogden' s comments were far more telling. They did, however, unintentionally descend into the comically absurd and must rank alongside "aggressive walking" and "not in my lifetime" for entertainment value and will endure as such.
