Alan Shearer replaced Gary Lineker as he celebrated Leicester City’s promotion to the Premier League.
Following Leicester City’s promotion, Alan Shearer remarked that the team will ‘get spanked every week’ once back in the Premier League.
City’s stay in the second division of English football will officially be for one year, as confirmed last Friday night after promotion contenders Leeds United were crushed 4-0 by Queens Park Rangers. When the Foxes finally got their turn to play on Monday night, they clinched the Championship title in style against Preston.
These incidents have prompted joyous celebrations among the King Power Stadium crowd, including pundit Gary Lineker. The club’s former striker made sure to have the final say on this week’s The Rest is Football podcast, which was recorded before the encounter at Deepdale.
After describing Bayer Leverkusen’s most recent thrilling tie, he added: “But it wasn’t the moment of the week – Leicester City are back where they belong!”
“And a big thank you to QPR. Thank you from all of us Leicester fans for a very enjoyable experience on Friday with not too much stress.”
That is when Shearer chipped in with his jibe, adding: “Micah, we’ll just bag all of this enthusiasm and happiness from Gazza because next season when they get their arses spanked every week.”
“I am enjoying it now. We can have a big celebration and then look forward to 10 months of absolute misery,” Lineker quipped in response. “Everyone desperately wants to get in the Premier League and then you get there and it’s like ’ah, are we ever gonna win a football match.”
