“I hope you’re all happy with yourselves.”
TalkSPORT presenter Goergie Bingham added: “Jesus. Mrs Browns Boys instead of MOTD. That’s a punishment and a half.”
AY said: “Yep. The single worst thing to come out of this whole debacle. Anything but Mrs Browns Boys.”
With his Saturday evening suddenly free for the first time in a while, even MOTD presenter Gary Lineker got in on the act.
He wrote: “What’s the running order?”
