It was the other end of the political spectrum, and not the BBC, but John Gaunt (of Coventry) was sacked immediately from his Radio show for his comparison of a politician to a Nazi.... Lineker should probably count himself lucky he hasn't been sacked outright.

Not that it bothers me too much either way.... Match Of The Day is awful and the presenters/pundits are terrible (although that is not unique to MOTD).

Premier League has been going downhill for years as a competition, and the "big 6" trying to create a European Super League was the final nail in the coffin for me....

I don't know how the media have just forgotten about that so quickly, and on European nights push the narrative that everyone is behind the English clubs.... are we heck.... a lot of fans aren't ever going to forget it.
