‘Cat pain,’ Gary Lineker tweets about Kurt Zouma on X

Gary Lineker has posted a tweet on West Ham United captain Kurt Zouma on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Kurt Zouma was anointed West Ham’s new captain earlier this season after Declan Rice departed the London Stadium to join Arsenal, and Gary Lineker responded by bringing up really old news.

This season, the 28-year-old has been fantastic for the Hammers and could be rewarded with a new long-term contract as a result.

David Moyes clearly believes in Zouma as a true leader and role model, as evidenced by his choice to designate him the new club captain.

However, following the infamous cat-kicking incident in February 2022, some people chastised Moyes for doing so.

But that’s old news now. Zouma was properly punished for his crimes and has learned from his mistakes.

However, it appears that certain people will never forget what the 28-year-old did 20 months ago

Despite the fact that Zouma and West Ham have moved on, Lineker brought it up again on X today, although with a weak effort at a joke.

I have a feeling the centre-back will never be able to move on from the cat-kicking affair.

It’s a pretty poor joke to be fair isn’t it!?

Aside from that, surely everyone needs to move on now. Sure, it was a terrible thing that the Frenchman did, and I’m not condoning it one little bit.

However, he’s a human being and he made a mistake – one that he has undoubtedly learned from.

Gary Lineker made a light-hearted attempt at a joke at the expense of Kurt Zouma, but it was a really poor one as far as I’m concerned.
