Best of luck to the BBC with The One Show and Holby City.
Football lends itself so well to satire that surely it's all been done but we don't let that stop us. The funny names of the players are always a highlight, names like Steve McManaman, Wayne Rooney or, most appropriately, Alan Ball.

My first game of chess this
morning I played a bloke from Croatia.
Got myself in a bad position
early doors but stuck at it and won on time.
That maybe translates as
going behind first half but equalizing and winning in extra time.
And, win, lose or temporarily draw, can we try to keep the insurance claims down to a minimum.
