The BBC might be surprised just how popular the presenter/pundit-free MotD is. The insufferably smug Lineker and the forced 'bantz' with 'Al' and 'Wrighty' are the worst thing about the programme. And anyway,
isn't it time the BBC looked to the future and replaced the 62-year-old with a younger, more diverse option? Alex Scott, Jermaine Jenas or Manish Bhasin would fit the bill nicely. And, given his progressive views, Lineker could hardly complain. Could he?

What Lineker said was 100% right. The Home Secretary spoke about the migrants as being an invasion before then farming them off to Rwanda. Lineker said describing it in this manner was similar to the language used by Germany in the 30s and said its. He's exactly right in what he's saying. The tories are vile creatures who expect everyone to row in behind them. Lineker voiced his opinion and unfortunately there are Torie rats placed in every high rank of society in the UK and he's being singled out for making them look bad.

It would be cancelled due to poor viewership if they brought in the new presenters like Jenas, female PL players, etc. What keeps it alive is the traditional feel to it.

What does the italics mean? That you think people shouldn't contribute to a national revenue collection agency to fund essential services because of the HM part of the name?! The point is that he's a prolific tax-dodger and one of a number of high-profile figures caught up in the infamous Paradise Papers scandal. This is a pretty big deal to many of us. He is an extremely wealthy individual who avoids paying his taxes, perhaps illegally, despite having tens of millions in in the bank - a large amount of which he pocketed during his several years working in the employ of the Qatari state. If he wants to engage in posting cheap, cost-free virtue-signalling rhetoric on social media to increase his profile and boost his ego, that's all well and good. But you know what would really make a difference to those less fortunate in society? Rich c**ts like him starting to pay their f**king taxes.

It is in terms of viewers I'm sure. But it's just a highlights show at the same time. Presenters and analysts aren't as important. Plus they can get the commentary from the world feed. Whereas if the rugby crowd showed some balls tomorrow and refused to work, you would have the bizarre spectacle of a live sport broadcast with no host, no analysis and no commentary. But I fully expect Logan to toe the line and scab for the BBC.
