PICS: Gary Lineker wins latest Twitter spat with Piers Morgan with classic putdown

He’s got you there Piers.

Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan engaged in their latest Twitter spat today after Morgan had enraged a large element of the sporting community with some typically controversial comments on Tuesday night. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/763213566581223424 Following Michael Phelps’ latest gold, Morgan suggested that it is the only medal that matters and he received plenty of flak overnight and again on Wednesday from the likes of Olympic swimmer Chris Walker-Hebborn, Matthew Pinsent and others. https://twitter.com/WalkerHebborn/status/763240949183119361 Gary Lineker joined in on the debate this afternoon and before long, Morgan was throwing a few jibes in his direction about his own career. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/763379055093841920 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/763379616488624130 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/763380225157758976 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/763385658815582208 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/763388601677799425 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/763390496576249856 After a bit of back and forth between them, Lineker summoned up an old chestnut (not for the first time) to soften Morgan’s cough. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/763391422674284544 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/763392039857823744 Zing.
