Preamble

He’s back! Yes, this afternoon Burnley manager Vincent Kompany returns to the Etihad, where he served as lynchpin of the Manchester City defence for 11 years, winning a dozen trophies, and where there’s now a statue of him outside. But also …

He’s back! Yes, this afternoon Gary Lineker returns to the BBC, from which he was briefly cashiered for the heinous crime of displaying some basic humanity, then being brazenly misrepresented by bad-faith actors.

Kick off at the Etihad is at 5.45pm GMT. The BBC’s coverage begins at 5.25pm, soon after which we’ll find out how strongly Lineker’s opening gambit registers on the Lynam-approved shouldn’t-you-be-at-work-o-meter™. Solidarity with Gary, Ian, Alex, Alan et al, not least for last Saturday’s prime-time demonstration of the power in a union.
