Changing Room Chat: Gary Lineker’s crisp retort to Joey Barton

FORMER England international and Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker hit out again at Joey Barton after the QPR midfielder attacked him on Twitter, in the wake of Barton’s red card at Manchester City on Sunday.

The midfielder vented his anger at BBC pundit Alan Shearer and turned on the programme’s presenter, leading Lineker to label the comments “scurrilous”. “He’s said what he wants to say. That’s fine,” Lineker said. “It’s scurrilous nonsense. I’ve had a good look around my house and in all the closets. All I found was packets of crisps.”
