ON a terrible day for football,

Gary Lineker (below) was excellent in steering Match of The Day through the necessity of dissecting matches while giving updates on life and death situations involving Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and Glenn Hoddle on Saturday.

Especially with his closeness to Leicester City and his friendship with the former England boss.

But his words and their tone were spot-on. Not bad for a lefty, luvvie snowflake who keeps getting told the world would be a better place if he kept his thoughts to himself.
