11 times Gary Lineker owned Piers Morgan
The football season’s back, which must mean Match of the Day is back.
Celebrate – or commiserate – with 11 times Gary Lineker owned his favourite foe, Piers Morgan, on Twitter.
1.
On supporting Donald Trump
Trump can still win this.
Many swing states way too close to call.
Clinton-ites seem weirdly cocky/complacent on here. #USElection2016— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 8, 2016
I must say your ability to continually tweet from deep inside Trump's bowels is rather impressive. https://t.co/eBgeY3Nell

On Morgan’s calorie consumption.
This is getting ridiculous. Afternoon tea has arrived in the Emirates studio. No wonder you're so large @piersmorgan pic.twitter.com/XYBRjyoaQW

3. On nuclear weapons
Seems a lot of folk like the idea of nuclear war. Can't see the positives, personally.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) June 2, 2017
If you commit £150 billion of taxpayer money to a nuclear defence, you must be prepared to use it. No? https://t.co/hmM5fFyXCK
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 2, 2017
Yeah, it would be a complete waste of money if we don't kill millions and destroy the planet. https://t.co/q5QC31Fvx3

When Morgan lost his CNN talkshow.
See you've finally parted company with CNN, @piersmorgan . We'll really miss you…..being over there!

5.
When Morgan met Dynamo.
“@piersmorgan: Great to see @dynamomagician backstage at #1DDay world's best magician. pic.twitter.com/rhCHNDQAeC” < Can he make you disappear?
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) November 23, 2013
6.
When Morgan described Lineker as a “goal hanger”.
Better to be a goal-hanger than a phone-hacker. https://t.co/96e8ZP6nc0

7.
After Morgan vowed to take extreme action if his beloved Arsenal suffered another defeat…
“@piersmorgan: God, if Arsenal lose later. I will take myself to the electric chair AND turn it on.” < I should be impartial, but now….

8.
And then there was the time Morgan tweeted a photo of himself with Lineker’s then wife, Danielle Bux.
“@piersmorgan: Hi Jugs @GaryLineker – all under control here. #RoyalAscot pic.twitter.com/BbzltTMwk0” < Closest she's been to a dick for a while
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) June 17, 2014
The exchange didn’t end there.
@piersmorgan I'll give you that. You're an enormous dick!
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) June 17, 2014
9.
When Morgan won a GQ award and Lineker didn’t.
@piersmorgan @BritishGQ @Lord_Sugar Congrats. Regular contributor to GQ mag wins GQ award. Like MOTD giving an award to Hansen.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) September 4, 2013
Morgan didn’t let it lie, and neither did Lineker.
@piersmorgan Genuinely thrilled your good friend @DylanJonesGQ gave you an award. Prefer to earn them personally pic.twitter.com/blNZdntHYA

When Morgan’s ITV talkshow was replaced by an England football match.
RT @piersmorgan: #LifeStories is off tonight due to the England match. <Decent viewing figures, at last, for ITV on a Friday night
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) October 12, 2012
When Frankie Boyle joined in, Morgan said it was like a “half-witted version of the Chuckle brothers”.
@piersmorgan @frankieboyle No need to get nasty. You should be proud you have more followers than viewers.

When Morgan tried his hand at being a rugby pundit (this is epic)
Sport doesn't get bigger than this: Best of the best against the best of all time. #LionsNZ2017 kick off
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
Lineker offered this comment on his old sparring partner’s analysis.
World Cup final? https://t.co/kiHSfG98Ka
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
And then it really kicked off.
How would you know? https://t.co/IR1RMq1ors
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
Because I've watched a lot of them, in both sports. https://t.co/4R1KSmg0Ga
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
I've watched people play Tiddlywinks, doesn't make me an expert. https://t.co/NcQSYejsJA
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
Probably as close to playing real sport as you'll ever get. https://t.co/xLsOqT38DZ
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
Got Lara for 0, beat Serena at tennis, fought Pacquiao, sunk a 20ft putt in front of Big Ernie.
I'm relaxed about my 'real sport' record. https://t.co/wNfFgTXetY— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
Bless him, with his little sporting fantasies. https://t.co/eVuNz3lA2k
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
All on YouTube, along with your greatest sporting achievement: 1st man to s**t on a pitch for England. https://t.co/PIknOP9XqM
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
(In case you don’t know what Morgan’s talking about…)
To which Lineker replied …
You have to have played for Your country to have shat on a pitch for your country. https://t.co/3TJHkQkNYv
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
If I ever did play for my country, I would keep my bowel movements in check. https://t.co/SeYC4PHavJ
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 8, 2017
Don't worry, you never will. https://t.co/AdoY1OABEH
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) July 8, 2017
Peep, peep, peeeeeep! That’s it fellas, full time.
