Gary’s Football Club Comedy Choices…
In a move as unpredictable as a squirrel in a sombrero, Gary Lineker has given Liverpool the old snub-a-roo as he named the top three gargantuan, larger-than-life football superpowers of the world. ‘So, who’s on this colossal podium?’ you ask. Oh, it’s none other than the mighty trio: Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United — leaving Liverpool looking like a forlorn child at a candy store window.
The conversation kicked up more dust than a stampede of referee wigs, as Liverpool’s 19th-century cannonball tally of six European titles plays second fiddle to Lineker’s favorites. Turning back the clock, he recalled Real Madrid swiping the rug from under Liverpool in Champions League finals faster than a rascally rabbit. Meanwhile, the Reds’ academy crops keep hopping to Spanish lands like eager frogs, swapping jerseys for a sunny Catalonian tan.
Lineker’s social media exit was as whirlwind as a rogue football in a tornado. Sharing an unfortunate emoji blunder, he apologized for any unintentional ruckus it caused. Thus, Gary leaves the BBC ship rather more sheepishly than a fox caught in the henhouse — putting his footy pundit hat hanging on a wobbly peg, hoping it’s not mistaken for a novelty hat stand.
