I have to admit that my loyalty to the British Broadcasting Corporation is severely tested by its inability to modernise MOTD. A dire opening episode with cackling Wright yelling 'we must sign him' salivating over Zaha being in an Arsenal shirt. A program devoted to Arsenal (Wright) and Shearer (Newcastle), saying the same old things. Same old tune, same old Lineker, same old biased pundits.

I assume the Palace game was first up and the august panel lavished praise on the team?

Wright is untouchable but big ears and Shearer better watch their backs. There's always a gender neutral angry woman behind every man, waiting to take his job at the BBC.

I hate to say it but I prefer Noddy and Big Ears to the shouty Woman and her colleagues.

Here are the latest stomach-churning BBC outgoings:- Top 3 salaries 1. Gary Lineker - £1,750,000-£1,754,999 (Match of the Day, Premier League and FA Cup, Sports Personality of the Year and does pop in occasionally) 2. Zoe Ball - £1,360,000-£1,364,999 (Radio 2's Zoe Ball Breakfast Show) 3. Graham Norton - £725,000-£729,000 (Weekly show on Radio 2, a range of programmes and series, Bafta film and TV awards and celebrated poof) Worst of all, Shearer actually gets £390,000, for what? Stand-out must be Zoe Ball, her trite breakfast show has me reaching for the off-switch instantly, any person off the street could do what she does. No danger of minority people there, none in the top 10, the BBC gammon is exclusively white, a bit like the liberal party. It is not leftie, but establishment, an occasional leftie bit to throw you off the scent. But really it's like Northern Ireland and Scotland, anything for the money.

It could have questions such as 'who took a knee at the Tuscan Grand Prix?' or 'how many different genders were represented at Wimbledon 2020?'. All the really important stuff. In answer to your 1st Q? 6, although it could be 7 as Kimi Raikkonen was on 2 knees in christian prayer.

Well done mate: For your bonus picture round: here are 12 photos of Megan Rapinhoe, in which one is she being paid equally to a man?

Now I confess that I have never heard the Radio 2 breakfast show but my understanding is that since she took it over, it has LOST a million listeners. How on earth does she still even have a job? Or am I missing something crucial here?

That would be an extra £1 salary for every listener lost, so if she loses them another million listeners she will then be on more than Lineker !!
