AH, GARY LINEKER.
Ex-international footballer, friendly telly personality and yer man off the Walkers ads.
And also in the last couple of years: king of the sassy Twitter burn.
Among all the quality lines delivered, there is one person who’s a consistent target of Lineker’s comebacks: Piers Morgan.
And there’s only ever one winner:
1. Like that time Piers tried to slag him about being a “goal-hanger”
Oooh.
2. Gary keeps a keen eye on Piers’ career
3. And has the perfect comeback when he tries to boast
4. The cancelled CNN show pops up often
5. And he’s never short on the receipts when he’s called out
6. Always there, waiting for Piers to spout off about Arsenal
7. And that time Piers met “the world’s best magician”
8. More recently, we’ve seen a move into Donald Trump-based rippings
9. It was a theme of the election
10. And Gary was even quote tweeting the President himself
11. Anytime Piers slags his ears, Lineker is right back at him
12. When Piers loses a job, he gets in a Wenger dig too
13. This is one of the great celebrity Twitter feuds – and it’s been going on for years
14. He always has a good comeback
15. Piers can’t escape him
16. The shnakes
17. This Twitter argument will go on as long as the site exists
18. And Lineker has come out on top too many times
They love each other really, though.
