Chris Hughton has been sacked by Norwich. Now? With 5 games to go? Utterly bonkers!

Very sad to hear the news about George Michael. An incredible talent who brought joy to millions of us with his music.

I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.

To be honest, it would have been better to watch it on Ceefax.

Congratulations to Thierry Henry on a truly wonderful career. One of the great footballers of our time and a top bloke. Bonne chance.

Ooh, it's too embarrassing to share my innermost romantic secrets - although I have written Danielle the odd poem. If anything they are more comedic than romantic. They used to be well received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept.

I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.

Gary Lineker
I wouldn't want to go out six nights a week and watch somebody's reserves playing to check out a footballer to see if we're going to buy him.
Gary Lineker
Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end Germany always wins.
Gary Lineker
Footballers are more likely to work better if they get a pat on their back from the boss. A knife in the back is never the answer.
Gary Lineker
...an excellent player, but he [Ian Wright] does have a black side.
Gary Lineker
My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage.
Gary Lineker
There's no in between-you're either good or bad. We were in between.
Gary Lineker
I'm disappearing from twitter for a while. Need a break from the bile. Local prejudice just seems to bring out the worst in some people.
Gary Lineker
If someone in the crowd spits at you, you have just got to swallow it.
Gary Lineker
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.
