Our favourite 7 times Gary Lineker totally owned Piers Morgan in 2018
It’s always fun when Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan start taking chunks out of each other on Twitter.
Mostly because it’s nearly always Morgan who starts it and the Match of the Day man who ends up on top.
Here are 7 of the most memorable times Lineker owned Morgan in 2018, but do tell us the ones we might have forgotten.
1. On scoring a goal at the World Cup
Stat: Lukaku is the first player to score 2 or more goals in consecutive World Cup games since Diego Maradona in 1986 (England & Belgium). Some jug-eared goal-hanger also managed that feat in 86.

You remain the undisputed master of the #HumbleBrag though Jugs, relax. https://t.co/aqc9671peH

Remind me again how many international trophies or English league titles you won in your glittering career? https://t.co/RaNaFB7A0X

None, but I shat on the pitch at a World Cup once. How many people can say that? https://t.co/mTNiiUJJdk

2. On a dodgy penalty appeal
Great goal by a great player.
Shame he felt the need to allow a fraudulent penalty earlier. https://t.co/O0SDY9leGB— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 7, 2018
He didn’t appeal and for all we know may have told the referee and been ignored… which is generally standard procedure. https://t.co/vDuyH9AeWq

Oh come off it… we all saw he didn't! https://t.co/whMTryHfmc

Camera cut off him on numerous occasions. Probably didn’t say anything but possibly he did. You don’t know and neither do I. Was funny though.

Funny?
That a great player kicks the turf & lets the ref award a penalty for a foul? I think it’s pathetic. https://t.co/ySDJKp5YQL— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 7, 2018

I'm not outraged, it's just disappointing to see an England player do that.
I'm amazed you don't agree given your normal Twitter halo. https://t.co/0OKFt89sGi— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 7, 2018
Say again, he stubbed his toe, he didn’t dive. Referees generally do not change their decisions even if a player confesses, which he may have done. https://t.co/gCVxJNn8uD

Stop defending the indefensible. https://t.co/4VGUUVRSnR

I’m not defending you. https://t.co/lbQ7NugkBF

3. On children’s homework
Seems an awful lot of parents agree on the pointlessness and stressful nature of homework. Kids should be allowed to play and enjoy home-life with their parents without the divisiveness of work they have plenty of time to do at school. There’s plenty of time to be an adult.

A lot of LAZY parents will agree with you, Jugs.
As a nation, we're falling so far behind educational standards of countries like China, it's embarrassing.
Telling our kids to now give up on homework seems a perverse response to this…. https://t.co/6rH03WeVPU— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 25, 2018

Did you get to be a world class footballer by skipping training? https://t.co/xt2DVwVTDE
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 25, 2018
No, I did it by skipping homework so I could play and practice at home. https://t.co/1XFkmwWOLD

4. On a second referendum
Hi Jugs @GaryLineker – will you also be campaigning for a replay of England's World Cup semi-final game against Croatia?
That too went 'very wrong indeed' & I'd like to pretend it never happened so we can have another go at winning it. https://t.co/Btx2PL0Nvw— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 25, 2018
Relax, Tubs, we’ll get another go in 4 years. https://t.co/npJlSfVx8K
