Every little irritant helps

Gary Lineker addresses future as Match Of The Day presenter

Gary Lineker has laughed off rumours about his future as presenter of Match Of The Day - revealing contract talks with the BBC have "just started".

MailOnline reported it had seen an email purportedly from BBC bosses preparing to announce the 63-year-old's departure from the broadcaster.

I hope he stays, I'm sure he must be a factor in people dumping the TV licence. Not a major factor, but every little irritant helps.
