Lineker was a great footballer & he's good at his job talking football. I've always enjoyed match of the day and he'll be missed when he goes. I'm sure he'll be snapped up by a rival TV company & I would welcome that. But his remarks on other than football I don't care for.

According to the News Today @Robbie Super Frank Lampard as put his Name Forward for the Coventry Job. Appoint this Gentleman and The Sky Blues Will Be Struggling

This poem was published in a trench newspaper in 1917 and has no doubt been shared here before too. I think it really brings those who experienced this terrible war to life. THE BURNING QUESTION Three Tommies sat in a trench one day, Discussing the war in the usual way, They talked of the mud and they talked of the Hun, Of what was to do and what had been done, They talked about rum, and-tis hard to believe, They even found time to speak about leave, But the point which they argued from post back to pillar, Was whether Notts County could beat Aston villa, The night sped away and zero drew nigh, Equipment made ready all lips getting dry, And watches consulted with each passing minute Till five more to go then twould find them all in it, The word came along the line to get ready! The sergeant admonishing all to keep steady, But out rang a voice getting shriller and shriller, I tell yer Notts County can beat Aston Villa! The earth shook and swayed and the barrage was on As they leapt o'er the top with a rush, and were gone Away into Hun land through mud and though wire Stabbing and dragging themselves though the mire No time to heed those who are following en route Till stopped by a strong point they lay down to shoot, Then through the din came a voice " Say Jack Miller! " "I tell yer Notts County can beat Aston Villa" The strong point has gone, and forward they press Towards their objective in number grown less They reach it at last and prepare to resist The counter-attack, which will come through the mist Of the rain falling steadily, dig and hang on The word for support back to H.Q has gone The air charged with moment grows stiller and stiller--- " Notts County's no earthly against Aston Villa " Two " Blighties ", a struggle through mud to get back To the old A.D.S down a rough duck board track A hasty field dressing a ride in a car A wait in a C.C.S., then there they are Packed side by side in a clean Red Cross train, Happy in hopes to see Blighty again, Still, through the bandages, muffled "Jack Miller, I bet you Notts County can beat Aston Villa! "

While he strikes me as someone who would benefit from stepping away from social media, he's good at his job and will be missed. Curious to see what he does next, although now he's in his 60s he could just be taking a step back. I guessed you're not his greatest fan @Wheelbarrow repair man, but would you mind toning that last comment down? It's a tad aggressive for this board.
