      by

      Gary said the mutt gets into a “terrible state” when alone.
      Ex Danielle Bux was dogsitting at his home while he was away in Ibiza, but she had to go out one afternoon.
      So the previous night, ex-footballer Gary asked his four sons via text if any of them could look after Filbert the next day.
      He said: “I woke up the next morning, George had replied, ‘I can do it’. I went, ‘Great’.
      “So that evening I called George. I went ‘Everything OK with Fils?’ He went ‘F***!’. I went, ‘What do you mean?’

      “He went, ‘I thought you meant tomorrow’ — because he’d woken up seeing, ‘Can you do it tomorrow’ the morning after I’d sent the text.”
      Siberian Husky-cross Filbert, who Lineker adopted from a US charity in April, was left alone for around five hours.
      He told podcast Walking the Dog of the damage: “Five sets of curtains. Five. One in the front room, two in the bedroom, one in the main room downstairs and one in the guest bedroom.”

      Filbert is named after the former ground of Leicester City — Gary’s first senior club.
      Asked if it would help to play Match of the Day in the house, for Filbert to see and hear him, Gary replied: “I’m worried he might not like the show or he might like Alan Shearer more than me. That would be awful.” More

      THE wife of Manchester City ace Ilkay Gundogan has dished up a storm — by rubbishing the local restaurants.Italian Sara Arfaoui, 27, moaned there were no good places to eat out in the city, and was fed up with “horrible frozen food”.
      Italian Sara Arfaoui, 27, wife of Manchester City ace Ilkay Gundogan has whipped up a storm — by rubbishing the local restaurants

      She added: “Maybe in London but in Manchester nothing.”
      Italian Sara Arfaoui claimed there were no good restaurants there, despite one of them being owned by her hubby’s City boss Pep Guardiola.
      Food experts labelled her comments “preposterous” and said Manchester was an “absolute gem of a place to eat”.
      One restaurant owner contacted her directly, only for Sara — who married City midfielder Ilkay, 31, in May — to double down on her remarks.
      READ MORE ABOUT FOOTBALL
      Asked to name her favourite Manchester restaurant, she posted online: “Sorry, I’m sad to be honest but nothing. I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but horrible food everywhere.
      “Can’t find a real Italian or good sushi or just fresh food . . . everywhere frozen.” 
      She said restaurants are “focusing on making money with drinks”, instead of “quality food”.
      The model concluded: “Maybe in London but in Manchester nothing. I’m sorry.”
      Last night, foodies united to pan her views. Critic Jay Rayner said: “This is a ludicrous point of view. Manchester’s packed full of brilliant, independent restaurants.
      I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but horrible food everywhere. Sara Arfaoui
      “It’s an absolute gem of a place to eat and comments like this during difficult economic times are not helpful to businesses struggling to make ends meet.”
      One local restaurant owner told Sara in a message: “There’s so many great restaurants in Manchester. I suggest you do research before you speak.”
      They added: “And only because your husband is a footballer and you have money and you have everything probably paid for and a great life given to you here in Manchester.
      “You should be grateful for that instead of slagging restaurants.”
      But Sara — whose German hubby, left, was appointed City skipper by Guardiola this season — hit back: “So because we are successful people we can’t give an honest opinion?

      “I tried all the best restaurants here but for me it’s a no. I can’t lie.
      Unfortunately I’m used to Italy so you can imagine it’s hard to compare.”
      She added: “It’s a great city, great people but not for restaurants.”
      Among the local eateries is Spanish restaurant Tast, co-owned by Guardiola, and Mana, given a Michelin star in 2019, the first in the city for over 40 years.
      MasterChef winner Simon Wood owns Wood Manchester, while Great British Menu champ Adam Reid runs The French inside The Midland Hotel.
      The Bombay Cuisine in Prestwich has also just scooped National Take-away of The Year.
      Mana head chef and owner Simon Martin told The Sun: “The idea that restaurants here only serve frozen food is obviously preposterous.

      “In addition, the restaurant industry is far too difficult a trade to warrant only doing it for money.”
      Sara is not the first Wag to slam Manchester. Jorgelina Cardoso, wife of ex-United star Angel Di Maria, said in 2020: “It was horrible — a s***hole.”
