I wasn't that s***! Gary Lineker laughs at Roberto Soldado as Sherwood defends Spurs flop
GARY LINEKER joked that Tottenham flop Roberto Solado 'makes him realise he wasn't that s***' during his former side's European exit last night.
Soldado has struggled to live up to his £26million price tag since leaving Valencia for White Hart Lane last summer.
And former Spurs favourite Lineker stuck the boot into the Spaniard, making a joke on Twitter during Spurs' 2-2 draw with Benfica.
Soldado makes me realise I wasn't that shit.

The BBC presenter said: "Soldado makes me realise I wasn't that s***".
Lineker later claimed the post was a joke, but Soldado's manager Tim Sherwood did not think see the funny side of the comment.
"I never followed Gary's career too closely so I'm not sure if he had a barren spell but sometimes it doesn't help," he said.
"He needs as much help as he can get, Robbie, and he will certainly be getting that from inside of our club.
"Gary was a top player, a top player at Tottenham, so we can give him a bit of slack."
