FANS have called on BBC Sport host Emma Louise Jones to replace Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
Lineker was suspended from the show after he compared the Government's plans to ban migrants arriving on small boats from settling in Britain with "1930's Germany".
The former Premier League star was deemed to have breached the BBC's guidelines and was forced to step back from his presenting role.
But his suspension sparked chaos as scores of Match of the Day co-hosts refused to appear in solidarity with the veteran presenter.
It has led to some fans filling up presenter Jones' Instagram comments in a bid to have her replace Lineker.
One said: "What you doing Saturday night? Fancy the MOTD Gig?"

Another commented: "Can you be the new presenter for MOTD please."
Jones has also presented for Leeds TV in the past and for BBC Radio 5 Live.
