Former England striker Lineker, like the rest of them on the MOTD panel, doesn''t have the bottle to be a manager but he likes to tell Pellegrini, Mourinho and Wenger where they are going wrong.
There''s Alan Shearer - eight games as a manager - one one and Newcastle were relegated.
Mark Lawrenson, Alan Hansen and Lee Dixon haven''t done it (yet). So that''s eight games between the lot of them.
Gary Lineker: "City do play quite open which might ultimately work against them in the title race.
"I think he [Pellegrini] needs to rethink his tactics ever so slightly, especially against the strongest teams.
"I think its going to be close.
"Arsenal are going really well and Jose''s such a canny, canny boy.
"I''ve got a feeling Liverpool might just hang onto it but I just sense United, at some stage, must come on some sort of charge."
