BBC pundit Gary Lineker has completed one of the easiest yet most satisfying acts someone can do, absolutely destroying Piers Morgan online.
Morgan had the temerity to tweet a photo of himself and Lineker’s wife Danielle at Royal Ascot this week. The Match of the Day host was quick to reply to Morgan’s attempt to get a rise out of him.
The former newspaper editor captioned the photo “Hi Jugs @GaryLineker – all under control here”.
This elicited an excellently executed comeback from Lineker in which he implied Morgan resembled a phallus.
“@piersmorgan: Hi Jugs @GaryLineker - all under control here. #RoyalAscot pic.twitter.com/BbzltTMwk0” < Closest she's been to a dick for a while

Morgan proved he is a glutton for punishment as he attempted to best Lineker's retort with a comeback of his own. This only allowed Lineker to score some more points off the former CNN broadcaster.
This is not the first time the pair have engaged in a slagging match via social media and this incident will only stoke the flames to ensure their light-hearted Twitter feud continues.
@piersmorgan I'll give you that. You're an enormous dick!
