If you follow Piers Morgan on Twitter, you’ll know he is quick to criticise Arsene Wenger when his beloved Arsenal lost.
But just lately, things have been different. Victory over Everton saw Arsenal top the Premier League on Saturday, prompting Match of the Day host Gary Lineker to ask Morgan if his attitude towards his side’s manager remained the same.
Arsenal are top of the @premierleague . #Wengerout @piersmorgan ?

Not convinced by the Gunners’ early-season table-topping, Morgan fired back with a brash comment about the former England striker’s ears.
You don't win the League in Oct, Jugs. Or in your case, ever > RT @ @GaryLineker: Arsenal top of @premierleague . #Wengerout @piersmorgan ?

When a pro-Linkeker tweeter asked how many World Cup semi-finals Morgan had played in, the soon-to-be-host of Good Morning Britain pointed out that he’d won the same amount of World Cups as Lineker.
But yet again, Morgan was outdone by Lineker’s reply…
How's your golden boot collection? https://t.co/ueb6Kmvh7l

It’s not the first time the pair have tangled on Twitter, and almost certainly won’t be the last.
